A Bookworm's First Love Ch.6
#6 of Yuri
Hi again! I just want take this time to thank all my watchers and the people who voted and faved. THANK YOU!!!! Oh yeah. Please comment. Whenever I don't get a comment, it makes me feel like no one read the story at all. Like the last Ch. I only got like two comments. :(
I was still wondering about the dream when my cell phone beeped. I opened it up to find a text message from Chris.
hey yuri! wanna hang out? meet @ theater. everyone else is goin. mark and john 2. J
-Chris
Hmm a movie? Wait a minute... I checked the message again to make sure I read it right. My eyes widened . Mark's going? I think I felt my heart stop. And that pretty much killed any chance of me going. But, I kind of wanted to go. I looked at the clock. Rob and Mom wouldn't be home in a while. Well... I guess it couldn't hurt... That did it. I changed, left a note, and headed out the door.
The theater wasn't that far away, probably about 4 blocks or more. I was kind of scared of seeing Mark. I was too busy thinking about this that I actually bumped into someone.
"Sorry." I mumbled. I took a look at the fur I ran into. It was small girl, wearing a black dress with black ribbons, and a peculiar pendant in the shape of a skull. It was a cheetah. I couldn't see her face very well because an umbrella hid it. Which was black. An umbrella? But it doesn't even look like it's going to rain . And I don't think any girls her age wear dresses like that anymore.
"It's alright." She said, her voice barely audible. My ears perked. I think I've heard that voice before but I'm not sure.
"Pardon me." She mumbled and walked past me. Weird, she's really young, yet she talks like she's an adult. I couldn't help feeling...uneasy for some reason. There was this kind of atmosphere around her that said "Piss me off...and you're dead." But that wasn't the only reason. Now that I think about it. I was certain I've heard that voice before. I just couldn't remember where. Get a hold of yourself stupid. You're just being paranoid. I shook my head and continued on my way.
Meanwhile...
The cheetah rounded the corner and stopped so she was out of sight of the fox she had bumped into.
"So that's him..." she mumbled to herself. "And that face..." She looked into her pendant's eyes which now started to glow red. "Perfect..."
There was a quick flash and suddenly, the cheetah was no longer there. In her place, there was a muscular male panther sporting black jeans and a black tank top. A skull shaped pendant dangling from his neck. The panther smiled, his fangs glinting in the sunlight.
"Let's play Stalker." he then turned and followed Yuri to the theater.
Back to Yuri...
It was a couple of minute before I finally saw my friends near the entrance of the theater. Patrick was the first to notice me.
"Hey look it's Yuri!" He said, waving me over. The rest of the gang looked and waved. Mark smiled.
"Hi..." I said running over to them. "Are we watching something?"
"That's right." Christina answered. "We just haven't decided yet."
"Well, let's just watch a horror movie." John offered. I looked at him. Weird, he's acting like he's known them for a long time. The rest of my friends seemed to accept him. Chris is a fast worker.
"Um...guys I'm not really sure if I want to see a horror movie today..." I mumbled.
"Oh, come on Yuri! The movie The Shadows is playing today! You know how badly I want to see it!" Chris whined. I sighed. The Shadows was basically about some monster that lurked in the shadows and it would snatch these kids and drag them down to some dark place and eat them. I so did not want see it.
"Or if you want. We could watch Funland." Christina smiled. I groaned. Funland was another horror movie about psychotic clowns killing people. Hmm... what to pick.
"Okay! It's settled! We'll watch The Shadows." Chris said cheerfully. And he ran ahead with John in tow. The rest followed. I lagged behind. Eventually, Mark appeared by my side.
"Hi. Excited to watch the movie?"
"Thrilled." I rolled my eyes. He laughed at that.
"If you want. You can listen to this during the show." He pulled a black ipod out from his pocket.
"Seriously?" I stared at him. He nodded. Smiling a little. After a while, we finally got to the counter to order popcorn. Our movie didn't start in like 15 minutes. I took this time to look around. That's when I noticed a panther leaning against the wall. He was muscular. He had black jeans and tank top. I peered at him. I thought I saw a skull pendant resting on his chest. Like the one the little girl wore. Huh. Must be some kind of trend. I looked around to see if anyone else was wearing a skull pendant. I looked hard, but I couldn't find anyone.
"C'mon Yuri!" I looked back. Mike was holding the drinks while Patrick held the popcorn. They were already heading toward the door. I sighed and followed.
We got in and took our seats. Here's how the order went: Christina, Mike, Chris, John, Mark, Me, and Patrick. Once the movie got started, Mark quietly took out his ipod. Everyone was too interested in the movie too notice. He took out his earphones and we shared an earpiece. It was kind of short so we had to lean our heads to the side a little. I expected to hear something like heavy metal blast to my ears. So I was really surprised to hear techno music. He looked at me and chuckled at my expression. Which I'm embarrassed to say that my expression was my mouth gaping open. He leaned closer and closed my mouth with his finger. His muzzle was so close. The tip of his snout just centimeters away from mine. I couldn't help leaning a little bit more-
Gasps everywhere. I jerked my head back. I looked at Patrick. His face was pointed at the screen. I looked at Mark to see how he was taking this. His brow was furrowed. His face a mixture of confusion and awe. What are they looking at? I turned to the screen. And my body just went numb. At the screen, in bold, black letters, were two words:
Hello Yuri
