A Bad Movie

A Bad Movie

We all sat wide-eyed without daring to move. We could almost feel the hot breath of the terrible four-headed serpent as it stalked its prey. I saw a couple of the other guys put their hands over their eyes. I tried to be brave and not look away. Then, in an instant, it was over. The hero plunged his sword into the soft underbelly of the beast. With a terrible groan, the awful creature heaved and fell to the ground.

We all cheered. The serpent was slain, and the hero got the girl. As the lights went up and the final credits rolled, I scooped up the last of my popcorn. " Awesome! " Bobby cried as we made our way up the aisle. “ That serpent was so cool! " " Yeah, cool, " I echoed, staying close behind him. We'd all heard that Attack on Venus was a good movie, and we weren't disappointed.

Today was special, though, because Bobby showed up. Bobby was the coolest guy in our school. He was a grade older than us. He played on a club soccer team, and he had a guitar. Everybody liked Bobby. " You want to go eat?" I asked my friend Derek. We'd told our moms we were going to hang out at the mall after the movie, so we had some time.

" I don't know. Hey, Bobby, what do you want to do?" Derek asked. Bobby had a sly look in his eye. " You know that other movie we wanted to see, Rodent Extreme?" Bobby asked. " It's perfect timing. There's a showing just starting over in theater four. " " Cool! " Derek said. " We're there! "

I checked the money in my pocket. After one movie and popcorn, I was running low. " Kevin, you in?" Bobby asked. " No, I'm broke, " I told him. “ Maybe I'll see you after. " “ Don't have enough?" Bobby laughed. “ Who's paying? We're already inside the complex. I sneak into other movies all the time. They're not going to catch us in the dark! "
