"Hey Babe," Brian said, as he motioned her over "We’re next, what do you want?"

Rachel looked at hi close by

"So, ill it be?" he asked again

"Oh, sorry I’ll have Starburst," Rachel said, looking in at all the candies on the shelf

"That all?" Brian asked "A drink?"

"Sure, a blue slushy!" Rachel said

"I’ll get a large one, we can share it," Brian said

Rachel smiled at him and shook her head

She couldn’t help but look back at Sa and whispering and looking over at her She felt awful and uncomfortable Part of her felt bad for Sam, but the other part was mad at her She couldn’t believe that Dana had just told her to leave Brian and not talk to hi? Was she serious? She was du to let it ruin her night She was out with the guy she had a crush on, and nobody was going to get in the way of that

She looked back at Sa her eyes at her She was so offended by that, she took Brian by the hand and gave hiht in front of her She kneas rude, but at the saet our seats," Brian said

"Yeah," Rachel said

"Back row?" Brian asked

Rachel didn’t kno to respond She knehat happened in the back row It was al her if she wanted to make out the entire movie She was speechless Part of her wanted to say yes, but the other part of her wanted to wait a little bit She didn’t want to risk sounding like a prude though, so she said, "Ok, whatever you like"

As they entered the theater, she was surprised to see that the entire back roas full There were no open seats In fact, the entire theater was jaet a seat next to each other at this point The poked around and walked up and down the aisle looking for two seats together Then, Brian spotted theht over there!" he said

Rachel followed hi around the dimly lit theater she realized the only two seats available were directly in front of Dana, Sam, Penny and Aht she’d get alone time with Brian, this had to happen

The previews started and Brian reached over and held her hand She felt a little uncomfortable by this, but only because she could feel Sa into her body She liked his touch though, it was co to her and she felt the same way about him She was head over heels for him She’d had a crush on hi into a reality She couldn’t help but feel like the luckiest girl on the planet

The two sat there holding hands and sharing the slushy out of the sa more pissed off each second the two of them sat there It was hard for her to focus on the movie, while all she could think about was Brian and Saht in front of her She turned to Brian after about twenty minutes of the movie and said, "You like it so far?"

"Eh!" Brian said "It’s alright Thought it would be better,"

"Yeah, et out of here?"

"I was hoping you’d ask!" Brian said

"Let’s go!" Rachel said, as she stood up slowly and shimmied he way out of the aisle

She didn’t look back to see if Sa at theoing to do anything together She could sense the jealousy oozing out of Sam’s body as they left the theater She so desperately wanted to turn back and shoot her a smile, but knew that would be too mean After all, she wasn’t atreated

When they got into the parking lot, there were a lot of kids s A cloud of s She hated the sarette sross addition, and one she didn’t want any part of

"You smoke?" Brian asked

"Ew, no!" Rachel answered "You?"

"Eh, here and there, why?" Brian asked

"Really? That’s bad!" Rachel insisted, giving hih!" Brian said

"You better! I don’t like sht now!" Brian replied

Rachel laughed and said, "Thanks!"

Rachel saw Brian look down at his watch and then say, "It’s still early, do you want to stay out?"

"What time is it?" she asked

"It’s only 8 o’clock," Brian answered "You still have twoelse," Rachel said

She didn’t knohat he had in o back to his place She hoped he didn’t think she was that type of girl If he did, than he’d be in for a rude awakening She never did anything with a guy on the first date aside from kiss them And even then, she’d only kiss them if she were really into them She wasn’t a casual dater, and had to really like the person before going out with theht was so special She’d had a secretive crush on Brian for as long as she can reht it was out of the realuy like Brian would never like her, and she didn’t want to get her hopes up for nothing She also didn’t want to look like a failure in her friend’s eyes’ if she never went out with hiht, she should havewith Sa to see the implications of her actions and knehen she went to school the next day she’d have to face the ht with Brian
