So this afternoon, everyone was planning to go hike along the trails because everyone was going crazy from being inside. Jess and Lily invited me, but I shook my head. Right now i just needed to be alone. I nodded for them to go ahead. Just about everyone was going, even the Research and Development girls who LIVE in the library and labs.
Even Liz.
I sat in the common room with a fuzzy blanket looking out the windows thinking. Then Alec walked in with two mugs of hot chocolate.
You could have gone with them" He said
"I wanted to be alone" I said "What's your excuse"
"I didn't want you to be alone"
I might have said something snotty, but he handed me hot chocolate.
Uh Oh!
He found my weakness! Chocolate! I sipped it. It made me feel a lot better
"Wow. Why are you so bloody protective?" I muttered "It's not like your my boyfriend."
"Wouldn't that be a tragedy?" He asked sarcastically
I looked up, but he was facing away, looking at the Gallagher movie collection. Most of them were donated by a Gallagher Alumni named Tina Walters.
"Never seen this one before" He said holding up one of my favorites The Man From U.N.C.L.E
"You've never seen it?" I gasped. I stood up and walked past him to the couch, snatching it out of his hand as I walked "Come on!" I called. "This calls for popcorn!"
It turned into a movie marathon.
The third batch of popcorn was popping when everyone flooded back in.
"That was quick" I called.
"To muddy. Plus it started to rain." Lily said and plopped down beside me. "What's ya watchin' "
"Spy movies. Alec had never seen the Man from UNCLE!"
*Collective gasp from all the Sophomore girls present*
Then started to rain like crazy outside, so we all stayed huddled inside, in blankets.
So much for going outside.
