Chapter Sixteen

Amy called an emergency movie night on Tuesday. She said I’d been zoning out too much during lunch, and it was breaking her heart to watch my meals go untouched. I told her I was fine, but she wasn’t buying it.

The two of us walked around Blockbuster looking for a movie. I’d seen so many of the films that lined the walls. My favorites had been watched so many times, I should have bought them by now.

Amy stopped and turned to face me after a full trip around the store in silence. “What sounds good?”

I shrugged. Nothing sounded good, but I didn’t want to ruin my best friend’s intervention.

“Okay,” she continued, her smile tight. “What haven’t you watched yet?”

“Sexy Martians in Space,” I mumbled.

“What?” She must have made out at least one of the words because her voice was high pitched.

“Nothing. Inside joke.” With Chase.

“Nicole, you’re going to have to help me out here, or we’re watching She’s All That again.” She scanned the new release wall.

“It’s not there anymore. Shipped off to the comedy section, never to be rented again.” I did my best impression of a vampire as I said the last part and topped it off with a spooky laugh.

“That’s the Nicole I like to see. I’m grabbing it anyway. I’d hate to think no one was watching Freddie Prinze Jr. in all his glory.”

“I’ll meet you up front.”

I took my time walking to the registers, taking in all the movies. For too long, my best friends had been on the silver screen. But those actors knew me even less than the students at Rosemark. They wouldn’t know me from any other adoring fan.

I should be thankful to have a friend who was so concerned. Amy was pushing back homework assignments to make sure I was okay. And the truth was, I was so confused about what was going on with Neal and Chase, I needed her friendship more than ever.

John was working that night and smiled when Amy and I finally made it up to the front.

“Hey, Nicole. How are you tonight?”

“I’m good,” I answered as I pulled out my laminated card and handed it to my boss. “Just needed a girls’ night.”

John grabbed my card and scanned it. His smile faltered as he looked up at me. “You have a movie still out, and it’s overdue.”

“What?” I hadn’t checked out a movie for myself in forever. “Which movie?”

When he told me the title, I was even more confused. I hadn’t rented it, and I almost opened my mouth to tell him so when I remembered my weekend shift.

“I totally forgot. Sorry, John.”

“Then, lucky for you, we have loopholes. Since you don’t technically have a late fee yet, you can still check out your movie.” He winked and scanned the case She’s All That rested in. I thanked him and left. But I would have to make sure Neal returned the other movie. I didn’t want that hanging over my head.
