When we all finished shopping at the mall, we decided to go to the movies to watch something. I wasn't deciding on something so I asked them to vote. Melanin, of course, picked the action film and squealed seeing her favorite actor in it. Lexie just picked whatever Lauren picked, which was a romantic comedy movie. Melanin pouted at the choice of film and Lauren giggled at Melanin and chose the action film instead. 


Lexie walked beside me the entire time entering the cinema and didn't even want to be close to Melanin. Her distance was noticeable, and she kept her eyes on the tiled floor beneath us that transitioned to the carpeted floor. 


"Are you okay, Lexie?" I asked in a low whisper to prevent Lauren or Melanin from hearing us. They linked arms and skipped to buy some snacks to eat during the movie. I saw the way Lauren's hair swayed and shined and almost made heart eyes at her again, but my attention immediately returned to Lexie to make sure she was okay.
