The blind date

"I can't believe you're making me go!" I exaggerated. Tyler looked at me annoyed, "You're the one who agreed to this blind date, Kyra!" I sunk into the couch, how could I have been so stupid? At first, I didn't think much of it, I've been on blind dates all the time! So of course I agreed to this one. None of them ever ended well, they all had their separate flaws; Slurping, chewing with their mouth open, and the worst of all: Country music. "Kyra you said yes and that means you're going!" Tyler grabbed my hand and before I knew it I was being shoved into an uber. Tyler reached for the seatbelt and clicked mine in for me. "Have fun on your date!" He patted me on my head and closed the door, leaving me inside the uber with no choice but to go on the date. Tyler tapped on the driver's window, the driver rolled it down. Tyler took out his phone and showed an address and the driver nodded and rolled the window back up. Of course, he wasn't going to tell me about where we were going. I sighed and the car took off. This was going to be a long 2 hours ahead of me.

I looked around for a man that matched Tyler's description, "tall, brown hair, intense stare, leather jacket." Very descriptive of him. I looked back down at my phone as I leaned against the movie theatre entrance wall. I was scrolling through memes on Instagram when it was interrupted by a notification from an unknown number. I clicked on it to expand the message, Hi is this Kyra? Really? Who else could it be? I sighed as I typed my response on the keyboard of my cracked phone screen. Yes, it is, who is this? Send. A typing bubble appeared and it changed into a message: It's your blind date, are you at the theatre already? I'm at the concessions booth with our tickets. Of course, he was inside, what was I thinking looking for him outside of the building? I sighed as I turned around and entered the building. The lobby of the MegaJolena theatre was always a sight for sore eyes, but not mine. Just looking at the gold outlining decoration along with the doorway just reminds me how disgusting colored rocks are and the quartz flooring just annoys me with all the scratches on it. Oh and the worst of all, the chandelier. Who even came up with chandeliers? Like, come on, a hanging arrangement of diamond killing shards? It was a waste of diamonds and the only good thing about them was that you can use the shards to cut pieces of steak. I sighed as I walked over to the concessions bar looking for a lonely boy with two tickets. I looked everywhere and my heart almost did a reboot when something touched my shoulders. I jumped and turned around at the speed of light. It was a boy my age with big round glasses. His hair was brown and hung over his hairline with a fluff look on it. His attire was a completely different story, literally. A slick black leather jacket with dark blue jeans that traveled all the way down to his black Nike shoes. “Hey you’re Kyra right?” my face was still in shock. “Yeah, how’d you know?” He smiled as he showed me his phone, it was a picture of me staring at the camera intensely, it was the picture Tyler had taken a few days ago. “Oh.” He chuckled, “You’re even wearing the same clothes as the you in the picture!” I smirked, I’m glad he noticed. “Yeah, haven’t changed since.” finally, this was the perfect red flag to tell him that I was no ordinary girl. Normally, my blind dates would excuse themselves and leave the date after I said something like this but this guy was different, he was completely unfazed. “Well I got our tickets,” he said as he handed me one of the two that were in his hands. I faked a smile for him as I accepted the ticket. I bet he was going to make me watch some stupid Disney romance film like come on, what's so good about an orphan with no parents that falls in love with a sexist no good of a man, never made sense to me. I looked down at the ticket to see what we were watching. To my surprise it wasn’t a princess film, instead, it was a horror film that came out a few days ago. This boy got game! “Like I would ever make you watch an orphan movie.” My face lit up, how did this boy know what I was thinking? I didn’t care though, as long as I wasn’t paying for the tickets. It was a win-win situation. We walked into theatre 5 and shuffled into our seats right before the movie started. Little did I know, the boy I was sharing my popcorn with was going to change my life forever, and not in the way you think, he and I were going to go to a mental hospital after the incident at the supermarket, but let's focus on what is happening right now and why this boy is getting escorted by the police out of the MegaJolena Theatre. I was watching from the side as I saw him being forced into the back of the cop's car. He chuckled and smiled at me relieving his dimples. I couldn’t help but smile back at him. The cop slammed the door shut but the door swung right back opened, he had blocked it with his leg. The boy stood up as cops rushed over to force him back into the car. “Hey! Kyra! Don’t forget to visit me!” He shouted at the top of his lungs. I chuckled. There was something different about this boy, and not the fact that he was in the back of a cop's car, it was something different. It had definitely taken me by surprise. This boy… I need to see him again.
