Zane stood in front of me his face looking rather nervous as if he had just "accidently" flushed someone's bra down the toilet...again. "What?" I snapped. He blushed looking like a tomatoe, I tried very hard not to laugh at his facial expression.

"You...uh...wanna go to the movies with me?" he stammered.

"No," I answered quickly then smilied and punched him playfully in the arm. His face relaxed. He knew me to well by know to be taken aback by my sarcasm. "Coming?" I asked walking towards the theatre. He trailed behind me like a lost puppy for awhile before he caught up and was able to stand beside me.

For a long while we walked in silence as we ambled down towards the theatre. I started watching the cracks in the cement and avoiding the tiny ant piles that lay around the broken sidewalk, each grain of sand had been carefully gathered by one tiny creature and I didn't wanna mess that up.

After a long pause of silence Zane finally started rambling again. "I want a pet ostrich," he said his voice even and very serious. I laughed to myself thinking of how much A-drain would flip if we brought one back to the abondoned house we had claimed for now.

"Do you see any ostrich farms around?" I asked him. He sighed and took my hand. It felt warm next to mine but not all sweaty and gross.

"Well then what about a...a...PANDA!" this time he was joking. I didn't bother answering because we were already downtown where the movie theatre was. It took little effort for us to sneak in through the guards. I felt like water slipping through someone's open fingures. I even managed to snag a huge container full of popcorn. I was to busy though to notice that same man as before, still wearing that yellow coat and smiling eerily into the distance.

Slowly we entered the showing room, picking a seat close to the back. There was an old man sitting directly in front of me. His shiny bold head blocking my view. I sighed with frustration as it began. The beggining of Alice In Wonderland bored me to tears and it didn't seem to get much bettter so I began people watching. Zane waited a whole half an hour before yawning and putting his arm around me. I hated that move even in the movies. It seemed like every single guy always tried it just like that. I was determined for the kiss to play out differantly though so right as he began to edge in closer I grabbed a handful of buttery popcorn and threw it right at the bald mans head. Hoping that at least alittle popcorn on his shiny skull would cause him to lean back in the chair alittle more. He didn't. I heard him mutter a curse word and seat up alittle straighter.

Giving up on the movie I leaned closer to Zane kissing him. I was satisfied that at least it didn't happen like that in most boring movies. "Wanna ditch this movie?"I wispered in his ear. It took him less then a second to stand up and off we went. Obvoius to the man in the mustard yellow jacket following us all the way back to the abondoned house. Now the creep had a reason to grin.....
