As they entered, they spotted a group of young girls pointing at them and giggling. Ryan rolled his eyes, Kyle dropped his shoulders in a slouch and Ben snorted an irritated breath. The group of girls all looked about fourteen years old, but their attention was firmly fixed on the guys.
Alex shook his head as they took their seats.
“Let’s make a sharp exit after this” whispered Ben to which they all quickly agreed.
The movie barely had the credits rolling when they got up leave.
Once out the doors, they heard the familiar sound of female chatter behind them.
“Hey!” one of the girls shouted to them. They tried to ignore them, but the girls ran to catch up, making their way in front of them. Trapping them. Alex politely removed one of the girls’ hands from his arm as she tried to get a grip of him.
“So…” one of them began. “…We’re going to a party later. Wanna go with us?”
“Not me, but thanks.” Alex replied as the girl’s eyes were looking him up and down, making him seriously uncomfortable.
“Me neither.” Added Ben. “We’ve all got plans and we can’t get out of them.”
“That’s too bad” said another girl. “We could’ve had a lot of fun.”
“What about you two? The first girl asked Ryan and Kyle.
”We go with these guys, sorry.” Said Ryan as Kyle nodded in agreement. “We barely had time to see the movie. In fact, we’re late for our appointment.”
“Well if you change your mind…” the girl said as she told them the address of the party, before they left. Looking back and giggling among themselves.
“Personally, I wasn’t digging’ those girls so a pass was easy for me.” Said Ryan.
“There could’ve been older girls there.” Said Kyle, a smile threatening.
“Nah I’m good” said Ben before they all burst out laughing.
“I know random people get invited to parties all of the time but, really, we could’ve been anybody!” said Ryan a little shocked.
“I know! That’s just dangerous. They were just kids. Fuck!” said Kyle as he shook his head in disbelief.
“If my little sister did that, I would lock her in her room until she was twenty. In fact, I may just do that anyway.” Said Ryan as they continued to walk out of the theatre.
“Dude, your sister’s ten.” Alex said with a chuckle.
“That’s good enough for me.” Ryan replied as they all laughed.
They went to the mall for some gym gear before heading back to Alex’s house.
As Alex pulled up to their garage, he saw Holly’s and Riss’ cars outside. His insides were doing a happy dance that she was still there. He would get a chance to see her before Monday.
Thinking that they may be in the hangout room, and he can’t just go and join them by himself because the girls would become suspicious, he asked the guys if they wanted to watch another movie. As he walked through the front door, he saw Dev in the hallway with popcorn.
“Hey guys”! She said as her eyes lit up.
“Hey Dev” they chorused.
“Watching a movie?” Alex asked. He knew they were, and his idea to watch with the guys, couldn’t have better timing if he had planned the whole thing. Besides, his previous plans had turned to shit…
“Yeah why?”
“We were gonna watch too. Mind if we join you?” Alex knew Dev liked the whole gang getting together to watch movies. It was the time when they got to watch together, but still had their friends with them. Nobody was left out.
“No, not at all!” She said excitedly. “It’ll be more fun.”
Alex took the popcorn from Dev, to carry it for her and she passed him a look that said ‘I know what you’re up to’. He just smiled back.
“Look who I found lurking in the hallway!” Dev squealed as she entered the room as Alex and the guys
