“We’re watching a horror movie?”

“Yeah! I’m sure you’re smart enough to read the title on the ticket properly”

I looked at the ticket and frowned. This is not what I’m expecting for a movie. It has been months since I’ve been to the cinema with my classmates and I was expecting a funny or exciting movie. Not a HORROR movie.

“Well, I guess I might as well go in and enjoy the movie” I thought to myself.

I looked around the entrance. Some of my classmates were buying drinks and popcorns while the others are waiting for some of the late comers to join the group. It was a Sunday and the counter was full but somehow only one person caught my eye. It was him. I stared at him as he continues to chat with his close friends. He seems happy every time he chats with them. Why is it that when it comes to his own classmates, his face is always expressionless? The only time I could see him smile was when there’s a joke in the class. But most of the time, his face was like the surface of a calm water. Not touched nor disturb by any element around it.

“Time to go in,” said one of my friends as they made their way through the crowd.

               I followed them from behind but my eyes were still glued to him. There’s something I had to tell him. Something that would make me feel better if I just say it to him.

                “I had to do it today.” I thought to myself, “It’s now or never.”

               Everything seems to happen to fast that day. Before I knew it, I was sitting next to him. Actually, it was I who wanted to sit next to him. I was lucky enough to find a place next to him and my heart gave a leap. All of us sat next to each other and we started chatting while waiting for the movie to start. I looked at him as he sat next to me quietly and smiling when his friends were talking to him. I smiled.

               Then it started…

               The lights dimmed down as the advertisements starts coming in. I looked at him and my heart began to beat fast.

               “Should I say it now? What if he thinks that I’m mad or something? I need to tell him but…I’m afraid! What should I do?” I thought to myself.

                I was fighting against myself deciding what I should do. The movie is going to start.

                “I-I’m…” I stammered but I know I have to continue my sentence before the movie starts. I looked down.

                “I’m sorry…For whatever I said that day when we were chatting on MSN. I know that I shouldn’t have said all those words but I just don’t know what to chat about at that time. But...even though I was crapping a lot…

                 But…

                 I…I just want to get to know you more…

                 I’m sorry…”

                 I felt my face heating up as I said those words. I’m beginning to feel stupid. Why did I say all those crappy words? I bet he thinks I’m crazy or something. I think he’s just going to hate me more in the future. Damn! Maybe he’ll…

                “Chat with me…”

                 My heart gave a leap when I heard those words. Not to mention that voice as well. I looked up at him. He was staring at the screen and his eyes were fully focused. I looked back down and I felt tears coming out from my eyes.

                 “Umm…”

                  I looked back at him. His face was still focused on the cinema screen.

                 “Next time when you come online, chat with me” he said quietly. “I will not answer you with one word again.”

                  I stared at him and felt my cheeks turning red. I turn my sight to the cinema screen. The movie is starting.

                 “Yea…” I replied and smiled to myself.

                I felt like this time, everything might turn out for the better.
