LMPYITP: The Random Passages

"Well it's not like we go down the cinema together and feed each other popcorn."

                  

"You got your student ID?" I asked as we stood in line.

            "Yeah." Kelsey replied as she opened our wallet. "How much of a discount do we get?"

            "Like a dollar off."

            It was better than nothing and a prime example of why I'd never throw my student ID away. I could still pass off as my nineteen year old self so why not hang onto it?

            The theater was surprisingly packed. We had two options for viewings. One at seven. The other at nine-thirty. We opted for the earlier show so the rest of the evening was freed up.

            "Have I told you how much I love you?" I asked as we took a step forward.

            "Yes, Jules." She said flatly. "Why didn't you just go see it with Liam? I mean, didn't you go to the premiere or whatever?"

            "No. I mean, I could've but I didn't want to. I'd rather spend time with you." I smiled at her.

            "Aww!" She smiled back. "So what's Liam doing?"

            I shrugged. "Probably stuff for his clothing line." I told her.

            I went home for a few days because I could. Liam, of course, wasn't thrilled but I assured him I'd be back by Sunday at the latest.

            We got our tickets, found our seats, and waited for the show to start. We sat towards the back so we didn't have to put cricks in our necks looking up at the screen.

            "Are you excited?" Kelsey asked as the lights went down.

            "Oh yeah." I replied as the film began.

            They told the story with Liam and Noel putting their two cents in throughout. I loved the old videos. They both looked so beautiful. So young. So full of life.

            The film was about partway through when I felt something light hit the back of my head. I reached behind me and felt something in the ends of my hair by my shoulder.

            "What the fuck?" I said quietly as I pulled it out and looked at it.

            It was a piece of popcorn. I threw it on the floor and then turned back to watch the film.

            A few seconds later, another piece hit me. I didn't turn around to see where it came from. I was too afraid to look like a dork in the middle of the theater.

            Then it happened.

            "What the hell?!" Kelsey exclaimed as she grabbed at the back of her head. She turned around behind her. "Oh my God! Liam's here!"

            It was dark. There were a couple people in the crowd who looked like Oasis dopplegangers. It was a little surprising considering how about the only option for purchasing Pretty Green was ordering online.

            That's who it was. Just an American dressed up. A yank boy in Liam's clothes. Not the real thing...

            I raised my hand to say, "What the?"

            He just shrugged but stayed sat there.

            I rolled my eyes then snapped my fingers and motioned for him to come join us.

            "What are you doing here?" I asked as he sat down beside me.

            "Come to the cinema." He replied. "Did you lot get any popcorn?"
