Final Surrender
doing it for her. She did enjoy looking around the theater though, watching the other moviegoers. A lot of them from her sophomore class.
    Groups of guys threw popcorn at other customers to get attention from groups of giggling girls. Angela also saw couples sitting in the dark corners of the theater, using the movie as a great excuse to make out for two hours.
    She chuckled at how most of them looked like bunnies jockeying for position. It looked so spastic and clumsy. That wasn’t the kind of affection she was after. She wanted to feel the arms of a guy holding her who knew what he was doing.
    She wanted to be so lost in his touch she forgot her own name. Angela knew that feeling could come from only one guy.
    She nearly fell out of her seat when Rebecca nudged her arm.
    Her fantasy faded as she regained focus on the movie theater and realized Becca had been talking to her for some time.
    “Sorry, sorry, start over. I missed the first part,” Angela whispered with a good shake of her head to clear it.
    Rebecca fully turned to face her and sighed. “Angie, I’ve been trying to tell you that Nick has been watching you for almost the entire movie. Don’t look, but he’s looking right now.”
    Not one to play games, Angela glanced down the aisle about ten people and Rebecca had been right. Nick stared directly at her, his lips tilting a bit higher when he caught her staring.
    “I told you not to look!” Rebecca scolded. She then smirked in the darkness, quite pleased with herself. Rebecca was bound and determined to find her a date to the next dance. They were both cheerleaders and Becca decided they needed to support the school.
    Angela raised her hand, waved and smiled a dazzling smile in Nick’s direction.
    Nick grinned back and nodded towards her. He then leaned over to his friend, Jacob, who everyone knew had the hots for Becca and talked to him in a whisper behind his hand. Nick never took his eyes off Angela and her cheeks flushed slightly at his attention.
    Jacob and Nick were sophomores too, varsity football players, and both recently single according to the rumor mill around school.
    “I bet they’re talking about us,” said Rebecca.
    “I have no doubt,” replied Angela nonchalantly as she returned her focus to the front of the theater.
    “So what do you want to do after the movie? Want to come back to my house and spend the night?” Becca asked.
    “I’d love to, but I can’t. I promised Mom I’d help her bright and early tomorrow with some chores she needed to get done. Since Mark left for college she needs a bit more help around the house, plus I think she really just misses him. I hate to admit it but I do too. It’s odd being the only kid in the house.”
    Rebecca tried to hide her disappointment. “Maybe next weekend. Hey, do you want to at least get ice cream afterwards? Everybody’s going. The two very tasty morsels down the way will definitely be there.”
    Angela laughed at her best friend’s verbiage. “Sure, I could go for some sugar.”
    She was dedicated to forgetting about Clay and move on to someone she had a shot with. Nick was easy on the eyes and her stomach did a tiny somersault at the thought of being near him later.
    The movie was thankfully soon over and after the last big bloodbath the lights came up low in the theater.
    Rebecca and Angela stood slowly and stretched after being cooped up in a one-and-a-half foot square for a couple hours.
    They made their way slowly to the end of the aisle, which was right in the middle of the theater, and Rebecca entered the throng of people. Angela realized she had forgotten her purse and told Rebecca, “I’ll meet you outside, I forgot something.”
    Becca gave her the thumbs up while being corralled towards the door with the rest of the crowd.
    Angela turned back, retrieved her purse, and froze, feeling eyes watching her, stalking her every move. The hair on the back of her neck stood up and a shiver ran down the length of her body
