Alex's POV:
When I made it home I figured, today would be a good day to watch that movie for my extra credit assignment. I mean I had no other homework to worry about, except for Christian's stupid little challenge. Of course I would be able to make it through the movie, I'm Alex Abernathy for hell sakes. And I was up for his little challenge...
After greeting my mother in the kitchen, I changed into some shorts and a graphic T shirt. Only to then quickly set up my little work station on the porch. I set my laptop on a little table, while bringing another one close for my pen and notebook.
Once I sat down, I pulled the large knitted blanket, on top of me while I felt the sea breeze. It was thick enough to keep me warm while also letting any sand that happened to reach the porch, slip right through it's hole.
When I clicked play on the movie, I internally winced as I saw that it was around two hours long. I nuzzled into the porch chair, and watched the seen start to play out...
This was going to be a long night...

Christian's POV:
When I made it back to my house, I took a shower, and changed into a simple pair of sweats and a light t-shirt. Sitting down at my desk, I opened my laptop and started working on a few layouts and designs my boss sent over.
This teaching job was draining me of all my energy. I come home every day from school and pug in a few hours of work. Constantly making me feel like a zombie by the time I crawled into bed.
Trying to get ahead on the fatigue, I brewed a large pot of coffee and poured my self a cup when I saw her... sitting on the porch. With her laptop open. I took a sip and and walked over to my desk, grabbing my laptop and bringing it to the couch, so I could see her while I worked.
She had her blanket wrapped around her, pressed against her face as she looked at her screen. I saw her watching something on the screen, when it then hit me...
She was in for a loooong night.
With how much Alex analyzes and internalizes things, this movie was going to fuck her up, big time. The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, was a movie that made me completely change my way of thinking when I was her age, so waiting for her report excited me.
I wondered what her thoughts on the story were. If she was going to hate it as much as I did, or if she was going to fall in love with the story, like most women did when it came out.

After about an hour of watching her out of the corner of my eye, I saw her get up and walk into her house. I hadn't seen her face the entire time, so I didn't know how she was reacting to the story line. I wanted to read her emotions, to see how she was reacting to the movie. It was killing me to only see the back of her.
When she came back out, she had a large sweater on but, she sat down so fast that I couldn't clearly see her face. Making me annoyed at the fact, that she might be doing this on purpose. But with out any hesitation, she immediately started writing in a notebook and pressed play on the laptop...

When the second hour rolled around, and the wind started to blow more. She shut her laptop right as the sun was touching the water, creating an orange glow on her figure.
