cool with each other.
    It was Eric’s turn at the counter, so he stepped up to order.
    “Hi,” he said. “Two tickets for
Zoe’s Guide to Getting the Guy
. And I’ll take a large popcorn, one medium Diet Coke and one medium Dr Pepper—”
    I smiled when he knew my favorite soda was Diet Coke and listened as he ordered enough candy to give us a sugar high for a week.
    While Eric waited for his change, it was Jacob’s turn to order. “I need an
extra
large popcorn, two large Sprites, some king size Skittles, a Hershey’s bar, two boxes of Lemonheads, a box of—”
    “Hey,” Callie said gently, interrupting him. “Are you bringing a second girlfriend on this date? That’s plenty of stuff—really.”
    Jacob turned back to the cashier. “That’s it.”
    “Forget something?” Eric asked Jacob.
    Jacob glared at Eric. “What?”
    Eric hid a smirk. “Tickets, maybe?”
    Jacob’s tan face turned a deep red.
    “I’ve got it,” Callie said in a light tone. “Two tickets for
Revenge of the Killer Zombies
, please.”
    “Wait,” Jacob said. He leaned forward toward the cashier. “She means tickets for
Zoe’s Guide to Getting the Guy
.”
    What?
    “We don’t want to see that,” Callie said. “It’s supposed to be a super–girly-romantic movie. You’ll hate it.”
    “We have to see it,” Jacob said, blushing. “Uh, Mr. Ramirez wants us to watch all different kinds of movies. Including ones we normally wouldn’t like.”
    True. But film class was almost over. Jacob was doing this just to bug me. He wanted to tag along on my date with Eric to have a chance to prove the entire time that he was the better boyfriend.
    The cashier handed him the tickets and Jacob loaded his arms with the candy and popcorn. Callie grabbed the sodas.
    Jacob practically stomped off toward the theater.
    Eric and I followed Callie and Jacob into the dimly lit hallway and we made our way down the aisle, looking forempty seats. Callie and Jacob slid into a row in the back.
    I walked until Eric and I were halfway down the theater. “This okay?” I asked.
    Eric nodded. “Perfect.” We found two seats and I smoothed my skirt when I sat down. I tried not to think about the fact that my ex–almost-boyfriend was behind me. I wanted to enjoy my date.
    Eric put the popcorn bucket between us and we put our drinks in the cup holders. The lights dimmed and the movie started.
This was it!
    I reached into the popcorn bucket at the same time Eric did. Our fingers brushed together and I blushed, glad it was dark in the theater. We’d held hands a zillion times, but tonight felt different. I’d almost jerked my hand out of the bucket when he’d touched me.
    I took a handful of popcorn and started munching. Eric passed the Twizzlers to me and I broke off a piece before handing it back to him.
    We watched a few more minutes of the movie, but I wanted to talk to him. “You going riding tomorrow?” I whispered.
    “Yeah. Lesson. But I really want to trail ride. I—”
    “Shhhh!” someone said behind us.
    “Sorry!” Eric and I whispered simultaneously. I tippedwatermelon Nerds into my mouth and tried to concentrate on the movie, but I couldn’t. Sitting here and not saying anything was torture! We finished the popcorn and Eric moved the bucket to the empty seat beside him so he could hold my hand over the armrest.
    My hand felt warm and tingly as he held it.
    I looked over at him and we traded a glance—I knew he was thinking the same thing I was.
    “Want to get out of here?” he whispered.
    “Yes!”
    We grabbed our stuff, ducking as we tiptoed down the row and out into the aisle.
    We passed Callie and Jacob. I gave Callie a thumbs up to let her know nothing was wrong. Callie nodded and waved. I felt Jacob’s eyes on me as I followed Eric out of the theater.
    Eric and I finished the final sips of our sodas and tossed the cups with the rest of our trash. He took my hand and we left the noisy media center. I breathed in the chilly
