| The next day I woke up at 9:00 AM. I went to my computer after my daily shower and saw that Zac was online. CelloDreamer: Hey! DrummerSummer: Hey, Mina! Waz ^? CD: Nothin� much. I just got up. You? DS: I got up around three hours ago and worked on a song with my brothers. Then I went for a walk and now I�m online talking to you. CD: What an eventful morning. What was the song about? DS: Oh, ya know. What all good songs are about�.Love, of course. CD: Mr. Hanson, what do u know about love that the world doesn�t? DS: Nothing, but shh! Don�t tell anyone, it�s a secret that helps us sell our records. CD: You secrets safe with me, Zac. BTW- that�s such a cool way of spelling Zach. Zac. He he. I�m laughin on the inside. DS: Wanna go to a movie? CD: Where did that come from? DS: My brain. Well, do ya�??? CD: Well, sure�um�..which one? DS: I dunno, we�ll choose when we get there. CD: sure, lemme ask my mom and I�ll meetcha in front of your house. Wait, who�s driving? DS: Isaac. We�re catching a ride with him on his way to his date with his new gf. CD: okay�.c-yaz in a few. I signed off and ran downstairs. My mom was sitting on the couch typing away at her laptop. She had gotten a job as a columnist and was taking her work very seriously. I grabbed a piece of paper off of an every present notepad and wrote: I�m going to the movies with Zac. I don�t know which movie. I�ll be back in four hours. We might go to lunch afterward. Isaac�s driving us and picking us up. I swear I won�t sneak into an �R� rated flick. See you!! Then I handed it to her, kissed her goodbye and ran to the front door. �Take a jacket!� My mom yelled as I opened the door. I inwardly groaned but obediently grabbed one. Zac and Isaac were sitting in Ike�s car in our driveway when I finally came out. After making sure my wallet was in my purse along with a small notepad and pen, I opened the back door and slid in beside Zac. �Hey!� Ike said. �I�m gonna drop you guys off at the cinema and pick you up after the movie. Meanwhile I�ll be reachable on my cell, which Zac has. All cool?� I nodded and Zac grinned. Within 20 minutes, we were at the movie theatre. �Well, what do you want to see?� Zac asked as we walked to stand in line. I had no clue. I hadn�t much paid attention to the new movies. I pointed at him, signaling it was his decision. �Well, how about Lord of the Rings?� I shrugged. It was too bad I hadn�t learned sign language. This might go faster. Oh, well. Zac didn�t know sign language anyway. We went through the line and reached the ticket booth five minutes before our movie was supposed to show. �Two tickets for Lord of the Rings, please.� Zac said. I reached into my pocket to grab my money, but before I had it out he was grabbing my arm and dragging me towards the door. �C�mon, it�s about to start!� |
