That's Just The Beginning

Chapter 16: Movie Night (E)

I had to reupload this because whilst trying to edit it, I accidentally deleted it. -.- So, it has less votes than every other chapter. So no, you're not just seeing things and Wattpad isn't glitching. 

Chapter 16

“I want to make cupcakes or something.” Jessie urged, rubbing her stomach. I shrugged carelessly, pushing my hair out of my face. It was 8:30 at night and Jessie decided to spend the night at my house. Right now, we were craving anything sweet. 

“You can make them because you already know how good I am at making cupcakes. I always forget that they’re in there and somehow, the smoke alarm always forgets to go off.” I muttered and she laughed, opening my door and standing outside of it.

“For some reason, I just think you want some alone time with your lover boy.” She said, nodding her head towards the window. I shook my head as she closed the door, laughing loudly on her way down the stairs. He wasn’t even home yet, not that I know or anything. I’m just going to take a shower.

“Let’s make bucket lists.” Jessie encouraged me as I shrugged carelessly. We had a tray of cupcakes on the table beside us. I raised an eyebrow as I thought about that.

“For our lives?” I asked and she snorted, shaking her head.

"No, for right now, the rest of high school and maybe even a little bit of college.” She sounded like she was making it up as she went but I just shrugged again, nodding. After, grabbing a blank sheet of paper for each of us, we started writing our lists.

Bucket List
1. Go on a real first date (with someone I actually like) for a picnic, I like picnics.
2. Get kicked out of a store, one I don’t go to because they might ban me and I can’t have that.
3. Skip school for a day and go out, not stay home.
4. Go on a rollercoaster at an amusement park, one that my instinct says ‘No’ to.
5. Dye my hair a crazy color, for example; dying the tips red or blue. Or maybe even a streak. (Or two.)
6. Dance in the rain with someone, hopefully a guy… who has abs, and happens to be shirtless but I’ll settle for Jessie if I have to.
7. Go to a drive in movie. I think this is pretty self-explanatory.
8. Throw a drink in someone’s face because they’re a jerk.
9. Pull an all-nighter and watch the sun rise on the roof, it seems fun.
10. Carve my name into a tree and hopefully it’ll stay there.
11. Go laser tagging, it seems amazing; lasers and tag.
12. Have a paint fight… an accidental one.
13. Go through a drive through on foot, it’ll tick off the worker and it’ll be fun!
14. Have a nerf gun fight, if I can get my hands on some.
15. Jump into a pool with all of my clothes on, or maybe get pushed. Ha, kidding.
16. Play Hide n Seek at midnight, its dark and fun. You have to play it with people you know though; you can’t play with an ex-convict because they can shank you.
17. Have a shopping cart race at Wal-Mart or any other large department store.
18. Go swimming at Midnight, it sounds adventurous and dangerous.
19. Buy white Converse and have people sign them, hopefully there isn’t anything bad on it, though. I may want to wear them to school.
20. Go to the Zoo, I’ve never been there and I really want to go.
21. Take pictures in a photo booth with either a guy that I like or a friend, it seems fun.
22. Play Hide N Seek in a store. If you get caught by a store clerk, pull a Velma. ‘My glasses, I can’t see without my glasses.’
23. Have a scary movie marathon.
24. Have boys vs. girl’s water balloon fight… probably won’t happen. But one can dream, right?
25. Have someone win me a giant stuffed animal. And again, one can dream, right?
26. Get a boyfriend… and I repeat, one can dream!

When Jessie finally finished her list, she was snorting in laughter at mine and I was cooing sweetly at hers. You can tell that she was a more romantic girl than I was. I was more ‘fun and entertainment’ and hers was more ‘let’s settle down and have babies.’ We had one in common and she noticed that around the same time I did.
