I widen my eyes and crawl my fingers up Ward’s chest.
He backs up and groans. “Mila…”
“Come on. It’s an indie movie.”
“Indie?”
“It’s from here. The guy that made it. He goes to Puckford.”
“Oh, Mila, you know the movie is going to be horrible then, right? It sounds awful.”
“What I want to do sounds awful to you?” I ask.
“Don’t twist this around. I’m saying the movie is going to be awful. It’s not like a real movie, you know?”
“So we can’t go and support someone?”
“Did you buy tickets?”
“Yeah,” I say.
Ward smiles. “There. You supported him already. You bought tickets. I call it a win-win then. I’ve got to get us a ride to Caramel Dan’s place.”
“Ward. No.”
“Excuse me?”
“I said… no,” I say. “I want to go to the movies. I want to see this movie. It’s a scary movie.”
“Mila, I don’t care. Sorry. But… seriously.”
“Seriously? You can’t do one thing I want to do.”
“Name anything else in the world, Mila. And I’m there. I swear on my life. But an indie movie produced by someone from Puckford? That’s just… no way.”
“So you’re going to go to this party alone? And leave me alone?”
“Who said I was going to do that?”
“I’m not going to some Chocolate Pete guy’s house,” I say.
“It’s Caramel Dan,” Ward says. “And you don’t need to be so defiant, Mila.”
“Oh well,” I say. I cross my arms. “I’m going to the movies.”
“You know what? Go. Fine. Whatever.” Ward holds up his phone and smirks. His thumb touches the screen. “There. I’ve got a ride. So I guess I’ll talk to you later. Maybe you’ll calm down after your movie.”
“Your sister was right. You are an asshole.”
“I’m the worst because I don’t want to see a crappy movie? Whatever, Mila.”
Ward shakes his head and turns his back to me.
A second later he’s texting and walking.
I’m in a little bit of shock…
I can’t actually believe he’s going to walk away from me.
