Alexander

"I like her." That was the first time I had said it out loud and it felt good to say.

"Woooow man." Noah had a shocked look on his face.

"I knew it! Nora and I were talking about how good you two would be together." Liam said proud of himself for some reason.

"But I'm not even sure if she even sees me as a friend. Like I try talking to her and she acts like she can't even stand to be near me. This was the first time that she actually talked to me without looking uncomfortable." It was good to get their opinion on this and they were people I trusted and shared things with.

"Bro, I would tell her, if I were you. Just say that you like her and that you don't expect her to like you back, but you just wanted her to know." Liam said.

"Here they come…" Noah said looking toward the restaurant.

I got out of the car to let Camila in, so she could sit in the middle again. This time she didn't try to learn more towards Noah, she seemed relaxed and calm. I had never seen her this happy and cherry, she looked so cute.

"So what movies are playing?" Camila asked Nora.

"Hold on let me look," she grabbed her phone and looked up what movies were playing at the movie theaters. "Joker (2019), The Lion King live version, or Toy Story 4. With one do you all want to watch?"

"I've been wanting to watch The Lion King." Camila seemed way too excited for the movies.

"Me too!" Nora shouted.

"I guess that it's The Lion King live version." I heard Liam say front the front seat. Liam drove kinda fast to make it to the movie theater on time.

"Camila and Alex, you two should go get in line for the snacks and drinks, while we get the tickets." Nora said when we all got in line for the tickets.

"Sounds good," I heard Camila say without hesitation. "Come on Alexander, I'm ready to get some candy!" She was now acting like a little kid and it was the cutest think that I had ever seen.

"Okay, okay." I said laughing. I couldn't help but smile at her. When we got in the building to get in line, Camila grabbed my arm and started to drag me to the line that was the shortest.

"Oooo I want an icee! Ooo and some chocolate!" She was still holding on to my arm and wasn't letting go. And I acted like everything was normal and that I didn't notice.

"I think that I'll get some popcorn. We can share it if you'd like. I can one never finish it by myself." I said, hoping she would say yes.

"That sounds great. What are you going to get to drink?"

"Probably a small spirit." I said. A couple seconds later the people in front of us finished and it was our turn and then that's when Camila let go of my arm. My arm quickly got cold where her arm was.

"How can I help you today?" the worker asked.

"We would like a medium size popcorn." she said. Then turned around to look at me and asked "Do you like butter on it?"

"Yeah I do." I answered her.

"With butter on it. I will take some kit kats and a small coke icee and a small spirit." She continued. Right after she finished ordering our thing Nora, Liam, and Noah walked up with our tickets.

"Just in time! I just finished ordering our snacks! I haven't paid yet, so go up and tell him what you all want." Camila said happily.

'Okay , here are your tickets." Liam handed Camila and me our tickets and then went to order his snacks.

After they finished ordering, Camila went up to pay for everyone's snacks and I waited on her, while everyone else went ahead to get our seats.

"The movie was so good! But I still like the original Lion King better tho." Camila said. Everyone agreed with Camila.

"It was still sad, I cried when Mufasa died." Nora pretended to wipe a tear away.

"Me too! I get too emotional when I watch movies." Camila said with a sad look on her face.

"Well it's six thirty and I need to get home soon," Noah said.

"Same here" I said. I was cutting it close and I needed to get home before my mom called me.

"Okay I'll drop off Camila first at the restaurant and then I'll drop you fall Alex." Liam would take Nora and Noah home on his way home.

"Sounds good with me," Camila said, "Mia is going to get me there." Liam drove Camila to the restaurant that her mother worked.

"Okay, guys! Thanks for the good time this afternoon. See you tomorrow at school!" Camila said while I was getting out of the car to let her by.

"Okay, bye." "See you" "Text you later." Noah, Liam, and Nora said to Camila. She got out of the car and turned to me and said "I'll see you tomorrow, Alexander."

"Okay but I'll text you later today." And before she could say anything else, I got back in the car and waved at her bye. Liam started the car and drove off, I looked back at Camila, she still had a stocked look on her face but she started waving back.
