CHAPTER~5~

Chapter5~~~~~

I admit, Im a sucker when it comes to horror movies but its too late to go back now, I already agreed to meet with him tomorrow evening to watch the movie,

"Mercei listen Im worried now, horror movies arent your thing" she panicked,

"I know Mi, but look I need to act mature Im not a baby, I shouldnt be easily scared cause of some fictional horror movie, Ill handle it" I breath in and out,

"Wowww, youre willing to handle your fear cause of this guy? You must really like him bestie!!!" She smirked,

"I told you, we're just friends, I dont like him the way you think" I rolled my eyes,

"Yeah, yeah, pretend all you want but I know you like him, so bestie tomorrow Ill be hanging out with Josh but youre free to call me of you cant handle it, I always got you" she shook me gently as she crossed her arm round my shoulders,

"I know you do Bess, Thanks Im glad I have you" I smiled brightly at her,

She gave me a brief hug and I hugged her back, she had to go so she wont pass her curfew, I understood, we waved at each other and she left.

Honestly, deep down inside, I knew I wasnt going to call her cause she'll be with the guy she had been crushing on for so long so I dont want to be a bother, Ill handle the movie by myself tomorrow, Im 16 not 6, so Ill be fine and Im not sure yet about my feelings for Travis yet, if I truly like him or not.

I went inside, checked the time and sighed a breath of relieve, it was only 9:26pm, I had time to change for bed before my mum comes home from work.

 ****

The next day, it was Saturday, my favorite day of the week cause it was the one weekend Ill be home alone, my mum as usual, woke up super early at 6:30am, got prepared, and had her breakfast, I knew all this cause its her everyday routine.

I was asleep in my room, when suddenly I felt a sharp kiss on my forehead, its probably my mum, I groaned and opened my eyes,

"Hmmmm uhhh, mum is that you" I sat up and robbed my eyes,

"Good morning sweetie, yeah and since your awake, I left some waffles and syrup for you in the kitchen, take care of the house while Im at work dear, Im getting late" she said as she arranges her hair in a bun style,

"Argh!!! Mum its 6:58, no one's gonna purnish you" I frowned,

"Ohh sweetie, one day when your all grown up, you'll understand, no time for chitchat, take care love" she briefly waved at me,

I waved her back still frowning, she immediately rushed out of my room and then out of the house.

I got up quickly, and strolled to my window and watched as she entered her car and drove off, I sighed, thinking one day I wont be a workaholic like my mum.

My eyes were still blurry from the sleep so I went to my bathroom and washed my eyes, after that I went to the kitchen, it was 7:15am so I decided to have my breakfast my mum left for me.

I digged in and I wont deny I truly loved my mum's waffles its killer or maybe I just loved waffles alot, I was excited today cause Ill relax and maybe watch a movie,

Wait a minute, movie. . . . . .

That word lingered in my head until I finally remembered that I had to go with Travis today to see a horror movie!!!

"Oh Lord!!!" I panicked, and I couldnt believe I almost forgot about that,

I grabbed my phone and checked if I got any messages from him, and I did,

Him: See you later at the movies girly

He sent me this message 5:00am, and he wasnt online now, my heart was beating fast but I calm my self and took a sip from my cold orange juice,

I was nervous and I was being positive the movie wont be scary, I ran up to my room leaving my breakfast on my table, I brought out the movie ticket that he gave me and I saw the name,

The Summoming,

The name sounded really creepy but no I told myself Im a big girl, a teenager, I shouldnt act like a kid, I can do it, no, I will do it to prove Im not a scardy cat.

Later that day, it was 5:30pm, I was getting ready to go meet Travis at the movies.

I wore something simple, a jeans and a purple tshirt and snickers.

I texted my mum earlier before that I would be going out with a friend and of course she told me as usual,

Her: Better home before I get back Mercedes, be a good girl

I sighed and yeah I had to obey her if I dont want to get grounded, I also texted Miley cause I know she must be hanging out with Josh.

I braced myself cause it was time to go, I locked the house and shove the keys in my pockets, then I head out, the theatre was far from my house so I took a taxi to make it there on time.

Sooner I arrived, I payed the taxi driver and came out of the taxi, I was infront of the movie theatre, I scanned everywhere for Travis and thought maybe he hasnt show up yet,

I was so wrong,

I finally saw him leaning on his power bike and staring at his phone, he was probably waiting for me.

He looked cool like yesterday but he wore a dark blue shade hoodie today, his emo style is simple yet chill.

I nervously walked up to him, he raised his head up and saw me,

"Hey girly, you made it on time" he smirked,

"Hi Travis, yeah I didnt want to keep you waiting" I smiled shyly,

"Aight cool, shall we go in?" He asked as he raised his ticket up,

"Uhh sure, lets go" I brought out mine too,

We both went in and decided we should get popcorn and drinks,

Travis picked lemon sprite and I picked cherry blast, he grabbed a medium sized popcorn for both of us to share, he didnt let me pay for anything instead he did,

'An Emo Gentleman' I thought as I smiled to myself,

With our tickets, we both entered inside the movie theatre and other people started arriving too, we sat down up front.

The movie was about to start, Travis was sipping on his drink, and I sat there calming and convincing myself that I can do this.

It started and everyone was excited, except me who was praying it wont be too bad, Travis looked so calm and chill as he ate popcorn and sipped on his drink, thankfully I was calm as well and the first scenes were okay,

Untill,

It reached the middle part and things starts to get really creepy with horror scenes of ghosts and screams,

My heart pounded and my palms became sweaty, I was panicking and I looked at Travis who was still super chill, how does he do it?

The movie even reached a point where the ghost that looked like a frreaking demon that was about to attack a girl, I wanted to cover my eyes but I didnt want to seem like some scared 10 year old, but all of a sudden the ghost attacked the girl and it was like a jumpscare and I couldnt hold myself,

I screamed briefly and hid my face on Travis for like 10 minutes, my thoughts came and I realized what si just did, oh no I just exposed myself to him, 

I slowly moved from him a bit as I looked up at him, he was staring at me and I stared at him right back and blushed, my shameless cheeks turned red as it was mixed with embarasment,

Travis chuckled as bent his head close to my ear,

"Hey if your scared we could leave" he whispered,

His voice tickled me and I felt small vibrations on my neck and back,

"Umm n...no lets finish the movie, Im cool" I totally pretended, guess I wanted to look chill to him too,

I moved away and avoided his gaze.

The movie was over an hour long, yikes!

Anytime horror scenes was about to show I close my eyes and I felt Travis eyes on me and heard him laugh quietly but I still notice gosh it was so embarasing.

After what seem like hell, it was over and I got up after almost being traumatized, Travis got up after me and we both walked out of the theatre,

I sighed a breath of relieve and happy it was over, Travis chuckled at he looked at me,

"You looked so scared back there" he grinned,

"What!? No I.....I wasnt scared at all"

I denied it,

His gaze got serous as he came closer to me and held my chin,

"You dont have to lie to me, if you werent, you wouldnt have gotten close to me at the theare" he glared at me,

I was speechless as his green eyes looked so beautiful as I stared back at him, my cheeks also turned red as a tomato and Im sure he could visibly see it, I thought he was going to kiss me and I imagined how it would feel like,

Yeah I was wrong again, he stroked my lips with a finger and moved away from me,

"You got a little popcorn crumb on your lips" he raised his finger and showed me,

Gosh I was stupid thinking he wanted to kiss me, I couldnt explain why I was disapointed for the second time,

"Its getting dark and my favourite time of the day" he sighed,

He was sounding weird again, like the first time we talked, well I guess cause he was a emo guy and sort of like a goth so this kind of talk is natural for him,

"I had a great time Travis, thanks for taking me out to see the movie with you" I smiled,

"You didnt really enjoy it I know, but um next time we hang out, we'll do what you want" he reassured,

Those words made me feel warm inside as I smiled like a fool, gosh what was happening to me?

"Hey common Ill take you home, I wont want mummy's girl to get grounded, he smirked,

"Whatever" I rolled my eyes and giggled,

We went to where he parked his power bike, he got on and after him I did too, and I wore the helmet too of course for safety.

Travis took me home safely, we both got off and took off our helmets,

"Thanks again Travis" I was grateful to him,

"Ohh its no problem, we're friends" he said with his hands on his pocket,

Then he walked up to me close again, held up my chin and this time he suprised me with a brief peck on my cheek,

After he did that he backed off, leaving me standing there with red cheeks again,

"Take care girly" he grinned at me,

"Uh umm, Ta.....take care Tra...Travis" I stammered,

He turned away and got on his power bike, and after putting on his helmet, he gave me a quick stare then he drove off.

I took out my house key and opened the door and that peck he gave me was still on my mind, I dont know why I felt so good about it I mean its only a peck, what if it was a kiss, would I have fainted?

Well I wouldnt know cause it might not happen.

Time was only just 7:50pm and glady I had alot of time before my mum comes back home.

After changing to my pajamas, I checked my phone and he wasnt online, and honestly I felt he doesnt come online like before when we first startef chatting but I guess he has other important stuff to do,

I couldnt even sleep, I kept thinking about some scary scenes from the movie and I needed a distraction, so I decided to call my bestie to ask her whats up,

She answered of course,

Me: Hey Bess

Miley: Hiii Bestie!!!

I decided to ask her about her and Josh,

Me: So how did things go with you and Josh?

Miley: It went great Mercei, guess what!!!

Me: What?

Miley: He asked me to be his girlfriend and I said yesss, ehhhhh!!

Me:Wow, Im so happy for you Bestie but dont you think its too soon

Miley: No way, he likes me back Bestie, I had fun with him today

Me: Well if you say so Mi, once again Im really happy for you

Miley: Thank you bestie, ohh I almost forgot, how did it go with your crush hmmmm

I rolled my eyes,

Me: Gosh Mi, his not my crush and I had a good time

Miley: Ohhhh tell me everthing Mercei

I told her everthing everything except the part I got scared of the movie I thought that was irrelevant information,

Miley: Ahhhh Gosh!!! He pecked you!?

It means only one thing Mercei, he definately likes you too!

Me: Its just a peck its not a big deal

Miley: Oh my Gosh Mercei, just a peck? You have alot to learn about boys, Ill come see you tomorrow, you have alot of things to know

Me: Whatever!!!

She was so stubborn and still dont believe me when I said I dont have a crush on him, I gave up and Im sure tomorrow she was gonna give me the lecture of my life, I need to brace myself,

We talked for a while and I felt better and tired too, after telling eachother good night, I layed down ready to sleep.

It was Sunday and it was not my favourite weekend that much cause my mum was at home but I was still glad cause its the one day she gets to rest from work.

Of course, she told me alot of stuff that happened at her work and as a good daughter I listened,

After a while when she finished telling me her work stories, she checked the frigde and the cabinets and said we are running out of food and snacks at home, she wrote a long list of groceries and told me to go get it, I sighed and I had to go cause I had nothing else to do at that momemt.

I checked my phone and I have been doing so cause Travis hasnt come online since yesterday and I tried calling but it wasnt reachable, was he that busy?

I was worried then remembered I had to go do something for my mum, go get the groceries.

I decided Ill call him later, and I left the house and walked to the grocery store.

Reaching there, I was thinking about shopping fast so I could go home on time, but right there outside the store I got the shock of my life!

I saw Travis, but he wasnt alone, he was with another girl!?

Wait what was he doing here? Why was he talking to that girl here?

Another thing went through my mind, like he ignored my calls and hasnt come online cause he was with another girl, I thought he was busy!

I dont know why, but a surge of anger went through my body, I couldnt believe him and also I couldnt believe myself, why was I getting so angry,

Am I JEALOUS!!!!?
