Stronger Together

~13~

Grace starts to get ready to go out around 12:30 after playing Smash bros with Peter for around 2 hours  she won most of the time even though Peter would beg to differ. She wore jeans and a T-shirt. "May I'm heading out " she calls out as she is about to leave

May is doing laundry when she hears Grace "ok sweetie have fun and be home by 6:30 or I'm calling the cops" she warns a bit playfully

"Yea Yea" Grace responds somewhat sarcastically but knowing that she'll be back before then . She starts her walk to the mall which should only take her about 20 minutes so it's not so bad

"Gracie" MJ calls out from behind Grace on the sidewalk

Grace turns around to see MJ "hey" she stops and waits for her friend to catch up

"Excited for the movie?" MJ asks knowing that there both already dreading it

Grace rolls her eyes "you know it's going to suck compared to the book film adaptations always do well besides Harry Potter"

Mj shrugs "I think this one might have a chance Percy Jackson was a great book series"

"No it doesn't the only reason Liz wants to see it is because of Logan Lerman and he's a 20 year old trying to play a 16 year old when in the books he starts off as 12 this movie has no chance" she explains while getting a little heated about the topic because Percy Jackson is one of her favorite series.

"Ok maybe it doesn't but you should go in with an open mind it will help the experience" Mj nudges her shoulder

Grace pretends to think it over "we both know I'm incapable of doing that especially since I can already tell it's a shit movie"

Mj nudges her shoulder signaling a race to the cinema which is now in view

Mj won but Grace isn't far behind when the 2 make it to the cinema which is in the mall "do you see them?" Grace asks a bit out of breath from running

Mj nods then points towards Betty and Liz who are outside bath and body works which is right across from the cinema "their right over there"

Grace rolls her eyes "predictable" she then continues to walk over to the girls to get them into the movie in time "hey guys if you don't hurry up we're going to miss your precious movie"

Liz jumps a little and then sees Grace and Mj "you two were late so if I miss Logan it's your fault" she accuses

"Liz you have an obsession with that man I swear" Betty laughs and rolls her eyes a bit

"Hey a hot guy is a hot guy and speaking of when did you and Peter start to hang out Grace?"She  questions keeping the conversation on the topic of boys

Grace is a bit confused by her question "we've always been pretty close he lives in the apartment across from me"

"He likes you I'm calling it now" Mj states to the group

"I can be friends with a guy without it being a crush thing Mj" Grace sighs "ok can we just go get our tickets and see your stupid movie already"

"Fine but don't think I'm letting this one go Gracie" Liz then goes to the counter and buys four tickets and two large popcorns

The girls all go to the designated theater for Percy Jackson and sit down in a row Liz is on the end of the row with Betty next to her then Mj and Grace .

The movie sucked as Grace had previously predicted Mj even threw popcorn at the big screen when they saw camp half blood for the first time it was so underwhelming compared to the books and both girls were disappointed
