Chapter 36// "You know, when you put the D in the V"
He gently puts his arm around the back of the chair and I feel his hand gently rest on my shoulder. I move forward slightly not wanting to be so close to him. I can feel him shuffle slightly closer to me in the comfy cinema seats.
I roll my eyes in the dark absolutely hating the position I was in. I scrunch my nose up at the strong scent radiating off him.
'If he moves a inch closer I am going to jump up and run out the movie' I tell myself.
The movie hadn't even begun and we were running through the countless number of adverts, I promise myself next time I am coming half an hour late, the silence between us was awkward.
Time had practically stopped and I knew this was going to be the longest night of my life. The brown haired boy next to me lets out a laugh at an advert for some movie and I just raise my eyebrow completely not amused.
"Here" He passes me the popcorn; I guess he finally decided to stop hogging it. I gave him a plastic smile as I take it from him.
"Thanks' I reply forcing every cell in my body to not run away form this situation my best friends had stuck me in.
'Welcome pumpkin" he replies winking at me. Excuse me pretty boy do I look like I wear 10 tons of face tan. No I don't, and I am not round wither. Stupid pet names.
Don't get me wrong there was nothing really wrong with this guy. He just had the misfortune of being set up on a blind date with me by my idiotic best friends.
And neither was this boy unattractive, he had that sexy brown hair, those chocolate brown eyes and that fuckboi smile. Everything I looked for in a guy.
But I was in no way ready to start even thinking about guys, let alone end up in the movies with one.
I turn my head to the opposite direction of the boy sitting next to me to see Winter and Emily staring at us. Winter gives me thumbs up and Emily shoves a load of popcorn in her mouth. Why, why am I even friends with them? I give them the middle finger, which makes them both laugh.
This had to have been the 4th blind date the two of them had set me up on and really I couldn't care less it's not like I found any of them appealing.
They were obsessed with try to get me a new boyfriend, but what they don't know is that they will never someone like Elliott. No matter how many fuckboi's they make me date.
"Everything okay" he asks me. I turn around and give him a dazzling smile.
"Everything is just great"
As the lights dim completely down the movie begins to play, until I hear people coming in to the room like a stampede of elephants.
"Why the hell are we coming to see a chick flick?" A very familiar voice whines.
"Because I want to watch it and it's my turn to chose the movie" another familiar voice lashes back. Why why them?
"Shut up the both of you and sit down" A voice I didn't expect, says, I squint my eyes and my suspicions are correct when I see his blonde hair.
And that's when all 3 tall boys come and sit directly in front of me. What were the chances?
The boy next to me tenses, I look up at him and his expression was hard. Oh god. What have y brother and his friends done to this boy? I slump down deeper in to my seat knowing that it wasn't a good idea if they saw me on a date with some random guy. No Daniel would most likely not be happy.
"Pass me the popcorn you fat pig" Aiden shoves Conner as he grabs the bag out his hand and scoffs his face.
"Are you okay?' I ask the brown haired boy next to me.
"It's nothing just those bastard in front of us are my rivalry football team"
Bastards, okay then, I was beginning to dislike this guy more and more.
"Oh is that all" I ask putting on my sweet voice, that mustn't be the only reason why he tensed up when they entered the room. Though it looked like everyone in the room was getting annoyed at them, they were so noisy.
"Just the blonde haired one messed around with my best friend" He whispers in my ear gently, he brushes some hair way from my face. Someone please build me a wall.
"Wait you mean the blonde hair one hooked up with your friend. He's gay," I asked. Surely Conner wasn't gay, was he?
"What no he beat up my friend" he scoffed which made me feel slightly embarrassed. I don't reply trying thinking about what the guy just said.
I was forced out of my thought when he gently cups my chin and I do exactly what I don't want to do. I look him in the eyes; his face was so close to mine that I could smell his minty breath.
It's barely been 10 minutes of the actual movie and he was already planting am movie on me. Where the hell did my friends find this guy and how do I get rid of him.
He leans ever so slightly closer to me I continue to look in t his eyes. But it feels wrong; it feels so goddamn wrong to not he looking in to HIS.
Not to be looking in to his bright blue eyes, and not to see his quirky side way smile and not to have his scent around me. This just felt wrong.
And for a second it felt like I could have been sitting here with Elliott this could have been us. But Elliott fucked everything up.
Just before he places his lips on mine I pull away "No" I say out loud. I didn't mean to but I was so deep in my thought about Elliott, I felt like I was betraying him, even though he was the one that betrayed me.
I realized I had made a mistake as all head turn to look at me. Including Daniel, Aiden and Conner.
I gulp. Some people swore at me for making so much noise but I sat there still.
"Cress what are you doing here" Daniel asks curiously until he turns slightly to see David the boy I was sitting next to. Daniel's expression changes, oh boy. I was in trouble.
"Crescent..." Daniel begins in his warning voice. The guy next to me sits still curiously looking between Daniel and me.
"That's it we're leaving" Daniel announces to the whole cinema. Everyone in the room was trying to hush Daniel, but as usual he wanted to cause a scene.
I was about to protest until David next to me stands up and walks in front of the people who were actually watching the movie towards the exit.
I follow him, constantly apologizing for disrupting everyone.
Outside I squint my eyes as the bright light hits my vision.
"Maybe you want to explain how you know them" David points at my brother and his friends. In the bright light he was even more attractive, it as sad I wasn't looking for someone.
"Well...this is my brother and his friends" I tell him, trying not to sound nervous for his reaction.
Why does my brother and his friends have to be on everyone's bad side. Why can't we all be friends?
"And who is this Cress" Daniel asks he hisses the letter 's' in my name. He does that when he's usually annoyed at me. I open my mouth to say something until I see the cinema door swing open and Winter and Emily walk out.
"What happened I thought the date was going amazing"
"Ah here comes the devil, how did I not guess you had something to do with this" Daniel points at winter accusingly.
Winter mimics his voice in a childish fashion and then Daniel copies here.
"Are you two five?" Conner rolls his eyes clearly not amused by the two of them.
"Now the real question is why are you with him" Conner asks obliviously talking about David who was next to me.
"We set them up on a date, you know to let Cress live life a little" Emily replies.
"I just heard she was hot and a cheerleader, never would I have imagined it was the sister of Daniel Dawson"
"Really Cress, first my best friend, then a guy I hate, who are you going to get with next my teacher, or how about our cousin"
"I'm going to slap you" I warn Daniel.
"We didn't realize that it was someone from your rivalry school, he was just someone Winter hooked up with in the past, and she though he would taker Crescent's mind of, well, you know who"
"You bastard you probably knew it was her and did this to get back at us" Daniel snaps at David. God does my brother ever shut up?
My brother really was this big ball of anger; he was just always pissed at everyone.
"Actually I'm telling the truth but would you have blamed me he put my friend in hospital, your just lucky he didn't press charges" His eyes were glued to Conner's emotionless face. Conner seriously beat someone up.
"But why?" Was the question that needed to be asked and I asked it.
"Because he messed with me" Conner replies to my question, not looking at me. He stood there tall and ran hand through his blonde hair pushing it out his grey- blue eyes.
Oh my god!" I say loudly, everyone eyes snap to me "Do you not understand what 'mess' even means, it means you guys frickle frackled together. Please use a better word to describe it" I state.
That's when I see something on Conner's face, a sort of half smile, as he raises one of his light eyebrows. It was a rare thing to see on his face. He never smiled.
"Frickle Frackled?" He questions me.
"You know, when you put the D in the V" I explain.
"That's not how it works when it's between 2 guys" Conner continues to half-smile, his cold eyes staring directly at me. Making my thoughts all muddled. It was weird having him talk to me as he rarely ever acknowledged me in the past.
"Conner over there beat up my friends because he..." David begins to explain and that's when Conner's expression changed, he glances at me quickly.
"Don't you dare say another word" His voice had a sharp edge to it.
"Ah I see what going on, she doesn't know does she" He looks at me with his brown eyes "You all can't hide it form her forever, you do know that"
"Just shut up and leave" Aiden finally speaks up.
"I'm not scared of you like the rest of them are and I won't say anything if you keep away from us"
He holds Conner's eyes in place; it was like they were communicating through their vision and then Conner nods.
David looks around and his gaze lands on me "Nice meeting you, sister of Daniel Dawson"
From the corner of my eye I could see all the boys watching me.
I wink at David as he begins to leave "Call me anytime"
I was only joking and I think David knew that, but it was just nice to see all 3 boys expressions.
"You shouldn't be messing around with him, he's not a good guy" Conner tells me.
"Really and you are, please your the boy who rides the motorcycle and smokes, and your record isn't very squeaky clean"
"And your Crescent Dawson, the girl who pretends to be all sweet and innocent but instead your actually you're a down right bitch who doesn't really care what anyone thinks about her"
I sigh pretending to not care less but for some reason his interpretation about me felt true "How many times do I have to tell everyone I am not a female dog, I know I'm cute enough to be one but I'm really not"
"I meant bitch in a good way you do know that. It's a really big turn on "
"Oh my lord, will you stop flirting with here, you know where that left Elliott" Daniel exaggerates.
"I'm not in love with your sister, I don't think I have ever even heard hat word in a sentence with my name before" Conner tells Daniel calmly. "And I'm nothing like Elliott"
I didn't like that we were bringing up the topic of my ex that left a forever-bleeding wound in my heart.
"Elliott feel hard for her and it ruined him. That's what love does to you it ruins people" Conner says matter of factly.
Also Conner was one of those guys you never saw hook up with a girl, there were many girls throwing themselves at him. He' probably slept with many of them, but id never seen him get with one myself.
"If you don't believe in love then you will have a sad and lonely future" Winter tells him.
"Winter, we all know your in love with one guy, and everyday it hurts you more and more to look at him as he fucks other girls"
The way the word 'Fuck' rolled of his tongue delicately made my knees feel weak. I wasn't even listening to what he was saying except the sound of his voice.
"Come on Daniel you have a raspberry milkshake to drink" Aiden suddenly begins to drag him away.
I stop and think for a second " Aren't you allergic to raspberries?"
Conner does his little half smile "He lost a bet"
And as I see the 3 of them leave I wonder what they were really hiding form me.
Author note:
