"Where is Mr. Cowel? Honestly, the one day I actually need his opinion on something and he doesn't even show up." Ally moans, pacing back and forth in the band room.
It's Monday morning and everyone is waiting for Mr. Cowel to arrive. I'm not waiting for him though, I'm waiting for my girl. I've only just arrived and on my way to the band room I saw Dinah retrieving some books from her locker. I'm so excited I'm practically bouncing up and down in my seat, I can't wait to have another conversation with her.
I haven't spoken to Dinah since Friday when I dropped her off. On Saturday morning I followed her to the park as usual and watched my baby as she pushed her little brother on the swings. On the night time, I sat outside of Dinah's house with my binoculars and a pepperoni pizza knowing Dinah ordered a take-out that night. On Sunday I didn't really get to see Dinah, the weather was fucking shit and my Dad insisted it was time for us to spend some quality time together. I may have sat with my face up my ass the whole day but my mood picked up when I realized I would see my baby the next day.
So here I am, 5 past 7 on a Monday morning waiting for my baby to enter the band room. A few minutes later Dinah enters the room wearing a black sweater and a pair of yellow jeans. Her glasses as always, are falling down her face and she's nearly tripping over those trainers of hers. I smile at the beautiful sight in front of me. I get butterflies in my stomach as I watch Dinah walk closer towards me. I'm starting to panic though, what about if she doesn't want to sit next to me? I can hear Camila calling her over, Jesus Christ, what about if she goes to sit next to Camila? That's like miles away. My panic doesn't last long, Dinah takes her seat next to me. She's sitting next to me, not Camila or Zendaya or anyone else in this room, just me. I'm her favorite.
"Hey, did you have a good weekend?" I ask Dinah as soon as she sits down not wanting to waste anymore time. I'm intrigued to know since I didn't get to hear any of the conversations she had, apart from a few at the park with her little brother.
"It was okay, I suppose." She shrugs. Okay? Just okay? To me it sounds like she didn't have a good weekend.
"Just okay?" I raise my eyebrows, I hope she tells me about her weekend.
"I don't really have weekends like you do, for me the weekend is just a normal two days off school." Dinah shrugs. She doesn't have weekends like I do? I'm not really sure what she is trying to say.
"What do you mean?" I ask quickly, needing to know. "My weekends are probably just like yours." That's kinda true, I do have pizza like she does and I do also go to the park on a Saturday. There's a few differences but not many.
I hear Dinah laugh. "Yeah but you go to all these parties and that, you probably spend the whole weekend with your friends, staying out all night." Parties? Me? I'd rather spend time with Dinah. Staying out all night? Only if Dinah leaves her curtains open.
"I-I don't go to parties." I really need her to know that, I don't want her to think I'm like the rest of the cheerleaders who spend their weekends getting drunk. The cheerleaders think I do that but I don't want Dinah thinking I do.
I shift uncomfortably in my seat, I don't want Dinah getting the wrong impression of me.
"Oh." Dinah says. "So what do you do on a weekend? You're really popular and I assumed you would go to loads of parties, I'm sorry." I shake my head, Dinah has nothing to be sorry for.
"I just stay in most of the time." I lie. "It's just me and Dad at home so I spend a lot of time with him. I don't want him to get lonely." I lie again, I'm forced more than anything to spend time with my Dad. My Dad could never be lonely either, he spends too much time with his friends.
"What about your Mom? Do you not spend a lot of time with her?" Dinah asks, unaware of my situation. There's silence between us, I lower my head and fidget with the pocket of my cheer jacket.
"She's not around." I mumble, hoping Dinah gets the message and changes the conversation. I want to tell Dinah about my Mom, how she's dead and everything but now isn't the time, talking about her will make me upset. I don't want Dinah to see me cry.
Dinah thankfully does get the message, she doesn't ask me more about her. "I like hanging out with my Dad too." Dinah says, smiling at me. That's true, Dinah does like to spend a lot of time with her Dad. She's closer to her Mom and little brother but she still hangs out with him a lot. One time they went on a bike ride together, I followed behind but ended up losing track of them, it turns out my bike isn't accustomed to climbing rocky hills.
I never want this to end. "Do you do a lot of things together?" I ask. Dinah nods her head and smiles, showing those beautiful white teeth of hers.
"Yeah!" She exclaims, more cheerful than before, this surprises me. I'm happy she's happy but what's made her so happy all of a sudden? Dinah continues when I don't say anything. "We do loads. He's an outdoors person so we usually go on bike rides and hikes. It's so fun!" It's all fun and games until Dinah's glasses fall off and break, forcing them to head back home. It's happened more than once.
"That sounds fun." I say, acting as if I don't know that already.
"It is." Dinah agrees as she leans forward to tie her shoe lace. "We're actually going away this weekend on a camping trip." A camping trip? Isn't the weather a little shitty to be doing that Wait...why am I just finding out about this now?
"That sounds fun." I say, repeating my previous words. "Where about's?" I ask casually. No doubt I'll be taking a little trip of my own this weekend.
"Just the camp-site in Atrium." We have a campsite here? Since when? So many questions. "We haven't been there before which is surprising considering how close it is so we decided to go." Dinah pushes her glasses back up. She sits back in her chair and opens one of her books.
"That's actually funny because it just so happens I'm going to the camp-site too this weekend." What the fuck am I doing? Dinah looks up from her book with wide eyes, she seems surprised.
"You are?" She asks in a shocked voice. I nod my head. I have no idea where this camp-site is but I'm definitely going. Now that I'm thinking about it, why don't I just do what I normally do, watch Dinah from a distance. Why the hell did I tell her I'm going too?
"Y-yeah." I stutter, realizing that this could go badly wrong.
Dinah grins. "What a coincidence that we're both going to the Atrium camp-site on the same weekend!" I agree with her, what a fucking coincidence.
"I know! How weird." I laugh, trying to think of a plan in my head. How am I going to make this work?
"So who are you going with?" Good question my love, I haven't got a clue. I'm looking around the room finding somebody to use. These are all Dinah's friends though, I can't say I'm going with them, it wouldn't make any sense. Why the fuck would I want to go with these creeps anyways?
Dinah's staring at me, patiently waiting for an answer. "Erm..." Shit! Say something Normani. "I'm going with Lauren!" Really, Lauren is the person I use! She doesn't even like camping. I don't think she does.
Dinah scrunches up her face. "Your friend who's a cheerleader?" I nod my head and smile softly at my love. "Oh okay."
"Maybe we will run into each other." I say, hoping Dinah agrees. I'm actually excited to spend the weekend with Dinah, I haven't been to the Atrium camp-site with her before so I'm excited to see what it's like. Maybe Lauren doesn't have to come with me after all. Every time I accidently bump into Dinah, I can tell her that Lauren is somewhere else. The perfect plan.
"More than likely. Atrium camp-site is really small, there will only be about 3 or 4 more tents so we will probably see each other a lot." Dinah smiles. I'm trying to smile back but my face wont change from a shocked expression. The camp-site is apparently really small, I'm glad there will be no way of escaping Dinah but this means that Lauren has to come.
"T-that's really small." I comment. I shift nervously in my seat, what the hell have I gotten myself into.
"It's not a popular place, that's why." Dinah laughs. "There's nothing really there. People mostly go there just to escape their lives for a few days. That's what Dad says anyways." This worries me, is Dinah trying to escape her life for a few days? I hope not, my baby has a good life. A happy life. I make sure of that.
"Is that why you're going?" I ask, lowering my head a little. I hope it isn't.
Dinah shakes her head, much to my relief. "Nope." She says, popping the p. "Just going to spend time with Dad." Thank fucking god.
"Where the hell is he?" I hear Dinah's friend asking, more than likely referring to ugly Mr. Cowel. I turn my head away from Dinah and listen to the others.
"Maybe we should start without him?" Some random guy suggests. I like that idea.
"We can't start without him!" Ally snaps, running her fingers through her hair. "He's the only one who knows the routine for nationals." Well that's absolutely not true.
"Dinah knows the routine actually." Zendaya inputs, much to my dismay. I glare at the dirty brunette. I don't want Dinah teaching them the routine, I want her to perform at nationals and be the lead band instructor I know she is. I want everyone clapping for her, for everyone to be blown away by her performance. There's no fucking way my girl is swaying in the background or not performing at sectionals because she has to choreograph it. Over my dead body.
"Just start without him, it's not like he does much anyways." I say, hoping that somebody starts singing a song. Thankfully, Dinah's friend Camila agrees and takes center stage. Everyone's eyes are immediately on her, my eyes are on Dinah.
Dinah leans over towards me causing butterflies to form in my stomach again. "I wonder where he is." Dinah whispers to me.
I smile, loving how close my love is to me. "He will turn up, sooner or later."
After band class I leave the band room in a mood. Fucking Zendaya, stupid bitch stole Dinah away from me. It was all going well until Zendaya asked Dinah to sit next to her because she had a few questions to ask her. I died when Dinah left me, sitting all by myself a few meters away, it absolutely killed me. I couldn't hear their conversations either since there was always someone singing a stupid song or playing a loud ass instrument. Maybe I should get a hearing aid so I am able to hear more things. Maybe I should put a microphone on Dinah, I can't stand not hearing what she is saying. I suppose I could always learn how to lip read. I think I might do that.
I'm now walking towards my locker to retrieve some books. I type in the combination and with one hard pull, it opens. I firstly look into the pink mirror attached to the locker door, I need to make sure I look my best for Dinah. As I'm staring at myself, I catch Lauren walking past with a few other cheerleaders. This is the perfect time to tell her about the lovely weekend I have planned for us. I quickly slam the locker door shut and do a little jog to catch up to Lauren.
"Hey!" I greet, tapping Lauren on the shoulder and spinning her around. At first she's a little startled but she's immediately fine when she realizes it's only me.
"Normani you scared me." Lauren moans, adjusting her ponytail. She waves off the cheer whores clinging to her arm then turns her attention back to me. "What do you want?" She says harshly.
"Someone is in a mood." I say, watching as Lauren rolls her eyes at me. She opens her mouth to speak but is distracted by the sound of her phone beeping. She groans and opens the message.
"Sorry." Lauren apologizes, typing something into her phone then putting it back into the pocket of her cheer jacket. "I'm just a little stressed, everything is going wrong for me."
I frown, wondering what's wrong. "What do you mean? What's going wrong for you?"
"The younger cheer bitches don't know their place. They feel the need to insult me over everything. One of them got caught drinking at the weekend and suddenly it's all my fault. Can you believe that?" Lauren moans.
I smirk and lean forward. "Well maybe if you didn't encourage them to drink, you wouldn't get the blame."
"True." Lauren agrees. "So what do you want?"
I need to say this nicely, the plan has to work, Lauren can't say no to me. "You and me, we're friends and I feel like we don't spend enough time together. I was hoping that this weekend you would come to-"
"Oh my god, are you pregnant?!" Lauren gasps, covering her mouth with her hand. I roll my eyes, of course I'm not pregnant. I'm a closet lesbian in love with a beautiful girl. My girl.
"Don't be ridiculous." I snap. Lauren apologizes again and asks me to continue. Be nice Normani, be nice. "So as I was saying before I was rudely interrupted by your insane outburst, I was wondering if you wanted to come camping with me this weekend."
Lauren blinks a few times, thinking about what I have just said. She opens and closes her mouth a few times before saying, "are you serious?"
"Of course I'm serious." I quickly say, glaring a the passing students who feel the need to stare at us. "Ever been to Atrium camp-site?" Lauren shakes her head. "It's this chilled out camp-site which is amazing. We can get drunk, gossip, do whatever you like."
"We can do whatever I want?" I smile and nod my head. Absolutely. "Great! We can drive up there and then come straight back home because it's freezing outside, Normani!" Not the response I was hoping for.
"Please, you have to come. I really want to go and-" I stop when I see Dinah further down the hallway opening her locker. For once I hope she doesn't hear this conversation. Dinah thinks me and Lauren are already going. If she sees me trying to persuade my friend to come, she'll know I'm lying, she will hate me.
"Will you be providing the booze?" I nod my head. If booze convinces Lauren to come then I'll definitely be providing the booze. "I want a large pizza too."
"Whatever you want." I say, shifting my eyes from Lauren to Dinah. Jesus my queen is so beautiful, she makes everyone around her look ugly as shit, including me.
"Fine, I'll go with you." Yes! I can't stop smiling right now, the plan is a go. It's so easy to convince Lauren. "I also want a new pair of shoes." Huh, what?
"Dinah!" I hear Zendaya calling me love. I ignore Lauren and watch Zendaya pass me. She embraces Dinah into a tight hug. My jaw drops, bitch get your hands off my girl.
I quickly shift my eyes back to Lauren who's staring at me like I'm a weirdo or something. "Fine, pizza, booze, shoes, I'll get them. I'll text you the details." I pull her in for a quick hug then hurry down the hallway. I stand with a few cheerleaders next to the lockers. My back is facing Dinah but my ears are listening more than ever.
"Wanna come and see a movie tonight with me and Camila?" Zendaya asks. I can't see what Dinah is doing so I'm trying my best to block out all the sounds around me apart from her voice. I wish this fucking cheer slut in front of me would lower her voice.
"The new action movie we saw a trailer of the other night?" I'm trying to think what movie Dinah is referring to. I don't remember her watching any trailer.
"That's the one!" Zendaya laughs. "So, will you come?" I'm dying to turn around. I can't see Dinah's facial expressions and it's annoying me. Is she nodding her head or shaking it? Please say something my love, say anything. I need to know what her plans are for the night.
"Great, I'll text you the details." I hear Zendaya say. I'm guessing she and Dinah are now walking down the hallway because Zendaya's voice is getting quieter and Dinah still isn't saying anything.
So Dinah agreed to go. There's only one problem though, I don't know the details. I guess I could always wait outside of Dinah's house and follow her to the movies. I'll need to hurry home from school then, I don't want to risk missing her.
The last bell has just rang. I'm currently leaving the school building and walking towards the car park. Maths and History were fun today, mainly because my Dinah was in the room. I turn on the Dinah engine and leave the car park, going faster than usual. Although I need to hurry home, I can't resist going the long way and passing Dinah's house. I know she obviously wont be home yet but I still like to pass her house, knowing Dinah has been there.
When I get home, I immediately change out of my cheer uniform. I put on a black hoodie and a pair of black jeans, I don't want Dinah to see me tonight. I then take the laptop from my desk and sit on the bed with it on my lap. I switch on the power and wait for it to load up. I smile when I see my screensaver, a picture of Dinah lying on her bed reading a book. Camila originally took the picture but I stole it, it belongs to me not her.
I then go on the internet to check what times the movie is on. After having a good long think, I'm positive I know which action film Zendaya was referring to. The website says there's a showing at 6pm and 8pm, Dinah's going to be going to one of them, which one though? Thinking about it, I think Dinah would rather see the 6pm one, that means she'll be home in time to finish off the extra homework she asked for in Maths today. The 8pm showing might finish a little too late for her.
Either way, I'm going to Dinah's house an hour early. I finish off getting ready, lock my bedroom door behind me and head downstairs.
"Where are you going?" I'm startled by the sound of my Dad's voice as I enter the living room. I didn't hear him come home.
"I'm going out." I say, grabbing the keys to the spare car from the coffee table. "Why are you home?" I ask curiously.
My Dad laughs. "Finished early today, I thought me and you could do something tonight." I feel bad for having to disappoint my Dad by telling him no, but I have to. I'm going to see a movie with Dinah tonight.
"I'd love to but I have plans with Lauren." I lie. For some reason Lauren's always my excuse. I'm starting to notice that now.
"Are you's going to break into someone's house?" He asks, folding up his newspaper and throwing it on the coffee table. "You're wearing your 'I'm a burglar' outfit." He laughs. I roll my eyes, I hate it when he goes on like this. Seriously, what is wrong with my outfit? Just because it's a black hoodie doesn't mean I'm going out to do something illegal. This is my Dinah outfit, big difference.
"We're just meeting up with a few friends, that's all." I shrug. I look at the time on my phone and realize I better get a move on or there is a possibility of missing my love. That's something I refuse to do.
I'm about to walk out when my Dad's voice stops me. "What time will you be back?" He asks. I honestly don't know what time I will be back, it all depends on the time Dinah arrives back home. I may even sit outside of her house for a bit admiring the view. If I'm lucky she might even leave her curtains open so I can watch her in her bedroom.
"Late." I mumble, closing the living room door behind me as I leave the room. I hurry to the spare car, it's just gone 5 so there's no way I've missed her.
When I arrive at Dinah's house, I notice her neighbors which live opposite her are home for once. I sigh, I love parking in their yard, I get the perfect view of Dinah's house. In a mood, I scrunch up my face and reluctantly park a few houses down. I have to strain my neck to see Dinah's yard, it isn't ideal. There are people looking out of the window probably wondering why there is a parked car outside of their house. Don't worry, I'm not a relative, or a friend, I'm just parked here to see my love. Not you.
I ignore those weirdos and concentrate on Dinah's house. I'm guessing Camila or Zendaya will be picking her up since my love can't drive. I hope they're picking her up, even though it's only a 10 minute walk to the movies, I would hate my love walking alone, that would mean I would have to follow her in the car. She might even notice my car trailing behind. I'll be one of those slow drivers who pisses everyone off and who everyone overtakes. That will be me.
After a few minutes I see a car pulling up outside of Dinah's house. I look through the rear view mirror to see who it is. I'm finding it hard to identify the person, maybe it's Camila? Well I'm completely wrong. I see Zendaya getting out of her car and walking up to Dinah's house. There's a tree in my way blocking my view so I can't see what's going on.
After about 10 minutes of impatiently waiting, I see my girl walking out of her yard and getting into her friends car. Thank god, the movie starts in half an hour and they haven't bought their tickets or anything yet. I think they haven't.
Zendaya drives to the movie theatre, I follow behind at a safe distance. On the way they stop at Camila's house, they're going to miss the movie at this rate. Eventually we arrive, we both park our cars in the free parking lot and then hurry into the theatre. I wait at the doors until my love and her friends buy their tickets. Dinah looks so cute tonight. She's wearing a blue polo shirt and a pair of blue jeans with her usual trainers. Her hair is tied up in a ponytail, her glasses falling down her face again. I can't count how many times she's pushed them back up since we arrived...oh wait, I can, 6 times.
Whilst they get the snacks, I buy my own ticket. After, I hurry into screen 2 and take a seat at the back. 4 rows behind my love. I can see the back of her head, it looks so cute. It's not busy in here, there's not many other people in here, hopefully Dinah wont notice me, she'll think I'm weird for coming to see a movie by myself. I suppose if she asks, I could always say I'm with Lauren and she's just went to the toilet or something. That will work.
"Popcorn please." I hear Dinah say to Camila. My ears perk up when I hear her voice. I wish I could give her popcorn, share a drink with her, put my arm around her. At least I'm here with her, that's the important thing.
The movie starts after what seems like an eternity of adverts, boring ridiculous no point of adverts. The movies not much better, it's just fighting all the way through. I know this is a action movie but come on, where's the storyline? There's just a load of, 'I will kill you' and 'you're dead' wham bam wham!
Dinah seems to be enjoying the movie which makes me more than happy. Every so often I see her ears go up slightly and a smile appear on her face. I have to admit, that makes me smile. Zendaya looks bored, in fact, she looks asleep. I can't really tell if Camila is enjoying it but who cares about her, my love is the important one here.
A year later the movie finally finishes. I'm a little sad about this, I wont get to see Dinah until tomorrow after we leave here. I suppose I have had a good night with my love, she seems to have enjoyed the movie and at the end of the day, that's all that matters. It doesn't matter if I enjoyed it or not, what matters is Dinah.
We all leave screen 2, I'm trailing behind Dinah hoping she doesn't turn around. When we leave the movie theatre I'm a little surprised to see Dinah giving Zendaya and Camila a hug, why is she hugging them? It's like they're saying their goodbyes already. My jaw drops when I see Zendaya and Camila enter the car leaving Dinah on the side walk. What the fuck? Where are they going? Why are they leaving my love? Dinah waves them off and begins to walk down the street. She's walking home and I don't know how I feel about it. It's past 9pm and I know that isn't late but it's getting dark and she'll be passing some creepy houses. I don't want her to get scared.
What do I do? My first thought is to get in my car and follow behind her but I think she would notice. I keep Dinah in my sight whilst running to my car. I open the door and quickly remove my hoodie, I throw it in the passenger seat and then remove the hair tie out of my hair. I'm now just wearing a t-shirt and a pair of jeans and I have to say, I'm fucking freezing.
I lock the car door and hurry over to Dinah. Once again, I keep my distance and walk slowly behind her. Then it happens...Dinah turns around.
"Normani!" Dinah gasps, not expecting to see me walking behind her. Oh no, I hope I haven't scared her.
"Hey, Dinah." I say with a wide smile on my face. Dinah waits for me to catch up, once I do, we walk down the street together.
"Have you been to the movies too?" She asks. I'm thinking about lying but I can't, we aren't around very much apart from deserted buildings, the only think here is the movie theatre.
"Y-yeah I have, have you?" I ask. Our arms graze for a second as we walk. The butterflies reappear in my stomach, I've just touched Dinah. I think she noticed too.
Dinah clears her throat. "Yeah, with my friends. Who did you come with?" Suppose I'll just use Lauren again.
"Lauren." I say quickly. "S-she had to leave early though which is why I'm walking." What a fucking liar I am.
There's silence between us for a few moments before Dinah speaks. "You seem to do a lot with her, a-are you two...you know?" I turn my head to face Dinah, she quickly lowers it, I can see a slight blush appearing in her cheeks. Does Dinah think me and Lauren are together?
I need to correct her. "No!" I exclaim, startling her again. I didn't mean to say it so loud but I can't have my love thinking that me and Lauren are anything more than friends. Not in a million years. She's the only one I want, always. "Just friends." I add.
"That's good." Dinah says, letting out the breath she's holding. She thinks that good? Oh my god, Dinah is happy that me and Lauren aren't together. Does this mean anything or am I just looking too far into things?
I need to clear my head of the possibility of Dinah ever being attracted to me. "Yeah, it is good." I say. I watch as another smile appears on Dinah's face. God I could never get tired of that smile.
"So what movie did you go to see?" Dinah asks. I can't tell her I went to see that action movie, she wouldn't believe me, she would of heard Lauren's loud voice. I never go to see a movie, unless Dinah goes which is very rare so I don't know what's on at the moment.
"That romantic comedy, I forgot the name of it." I couldn't think of anything else to say. I hope Dinah doesn't question me about it so she can figure out the title. How embarrassing would that be.
"Oh, ok." She says. We continue walking down the street, I can see Dinah shivering. I wish I brought my hoodie now to keep her warm. I'm cold too but that doesn't matter, what matters is Dinah. I'd offer her my shirt but then I'd be walking around in just my bra. Damn, I should have brought the car. I should of drove my baby home like a normal person. But I couldn't, she might of recognised the spare car. She'd definitely get a shock if she saw all the pictures in my car too. All pictures of my Polynesian queen.
"I really hope Mr. Cowel is back in school tomorrow." Dinah says, much to my dismay. Why does she want him back in school after what he said and did to her?
"Why?" I ask, shaking my head, not understanding how anyone could want ugly back.
"He's a good band teacher. He has really cool ideas." Dinah says. Cool ideas? Mr. Cowel? Me and my girl are clearly having a conversation about a different person.
"He's useless Dinah, look what he did to you. He got you really upset." I say softly, hoping it doesn't upset Dinah further by talking about it.
Dinah shrugs her shoulders and adjusts her glasses. "I still hope he'll be back tomorrow."
Mr. Cowel isn't coming back, my love.
Sooner than I would have liked, we arrive at Dinah's house. At first she didn't want me walking her home but after 5 minutes of persuading her, she finally gave in. I would never of took no for an answer. We are now standing outside of her house staring at each other. It's nice to be able to look into my loves perfect hazel eyes. She looks even more beautiful at night.
"Thank you for walking me home, Normani." Dinah says. "It was really nice of you." She smiles. I can see her blushing again, I'm starting to wonder if I have an affect on her. Thinking about it is going to give me a heart attack, too much excitement.
"Anytime." I whisper, smiling back at my love.
Dinah moves closer to me, she raises her hand and gently places it on my arm. I feel shivers going down my spine, she's touching me, Dinah's touching me. She gently strokes my arm, our eyes never leaving each other. Slowly she removes her hand, causing me to silently groan.
"Goodnight, Normani." Dinah whispers. Walking backwards into her yard.
"Goodnight, babygirl." I whisper back when Dinah is a safe distance away from me.
I watch Dinah enter her house before walking away. I walk with a smile never leaving my face, this night couldn't have gone any better. I've spoken to Dinah, I walked her home and she touched my arm. There's hope that my baby may have feelings for me too, that makes my life perfect.
I walk back to the movie theatre to retrieve my car, not caring about the cold anymore. All I can think about is Dinah and how much I love her. How she makes me feel, the shivers I got when she touched me. It was amazing. There's one other thing I can't stop thinking about though.
I went to see a movie with my girl.
