Dinner and a Movie Author: Jen Chapters: 1 2 3
Chapter 1 - The Movie It was December 18, 2002 and my friend, Cammie, and myself were looking forward to seeing "The Two Towers" since we saw the last one, and the day was finally here. I drove us in my Boneville to the local movie theater as we were discussing how excited we were. I was excited to see Elijah Wood and Cammie was dying to see the man she called her "future husband," Orlando Bloom. We pulled in half an hour early, bought our tickets, and rushed into the theater to sit in the very front row. The crowd started to pile in and the place was packed. Cammie decided to go to he bathroom before the movie started, so I put her coat in her seat to save it. The theater was packed. I had some annoying preppy girls sitting next to me. When I looked over at the seat next to Cammie's, there was a man in it. A man wearing a dark chordroy jacket, black cap, and sunglasses. I smirked to myself thinking, "Who wears sunglasses while watching a movie?". Then Cammie came back just in time for the previews to start. When the words "The Lord of the Rings" popped up onto the screen, you could see Cammie smile and take a deep breath in. When Frodo came up onto the screen, I was in some sort of trance. I completely forgot about everything, except for those huge, beautiful blue eyes. Then I felt Cammie smacking me. Tapping me lightly at first, then smacking me. When I looked at her, she had an odd expression on her face. She looked scared and excited at the same time. I bent in by her mouth so she could whisper in my ear. The movie was so loud I could only hear two words that she said, "Orlando Bloom". I looked at her confused and she pointed to the guy next to her wearing sunglasses. I stared at him, then he noticed the both of us looking at him. He took his sunglasses off, smiled, and put his finger up to his lips and said, "Shhh". I was stunned. The man sitting next to Cammie was indeed a disquised Orlando Bloom. I just sat there with my jaw open looking at Cammie, then at him, and back and forth. What was he doing in Minnesota. He could be in warm California, or in exciting England.... But no, he was in dull, boring, freezing Minnesota. Cammie looked like she was in heaven. Then the movie stopped about 20 minutes through it. A worker came in and said, "We are experiencing temorary difficulties, if you can just wait a few minutes, we'll start the movie again." The lights came on and everyone started talking. The preppy girls next to me were saying something along the lines of, "I want to see Legsloss and Freeda", I looked at them and said, "You mean Legolas and Frodo? Go watch Crossroads you stupid little wanna-bes." Then Cammie looked at me and said, "Melissa! I can't believe it! Here I am, sitting next to the one I love!". So I sat there and decided I'd watch Cammie make a fool of herself, lik she usually did. When she turned around to talk to him, he had a smile on his face. He said hello to her and they started talking. I sat there bored out of my mind with the stupid preps giving me evil glares. I heard Cammie and Orlando laughing and joking around. The lights went back down and I heard Cammie say something about it being cold in the theater. With that, Orlando put his armrest up and put his arm around her. I looked at her, disgusted. She was sitting on her coat! We watched the movie and they sat there laughing together when Gollum was talking to himself. I felt like crying. My best friend ditched me for a guy! Granted, he was pretty hot, and every time he popped on the screen, he didn't care that she got really excited and almost squeeled. Even when Legolas went down the stairs on the shield during the battle screen and she said, "Oh my God, that was so sexy" without eventhinking, and all he did was smile and say "Thank you". What was up with this? Cammie is obsessed with the dude, and he's sitting there, holding her? I'd be pretty freaked if someone was obsessed with me and complaining they were cold when they're sitting on their coat! When the movie ended, I told Cammie I would be nice and get the car. She said ok, but first she was going to walk Orlando to his car. When I went to go pick up Cammie, Orlando was still with her. He was holding her around the waist and they were looking at eachother in the eye. They didn't see me, so I waited. Then he lowered his head and kissed her. With that, I beeped my horn, and she looked over at me and smiled. They both got in the back seat, and I looked at them angrily and confused. "Mr. Bloom, do you want me to drive you to your car?" I asked. He shook his head and said "I accidently locked my keys in my car, so if you could drive me to the nearest hotel, that would be brilliant." When I looked at Cammie, I could see her heart melting through her eyes. Cammie said, "Nonsense, Mr. Bloom. I wouldn't let you stay at a sleezy hotel all alone, when the guest bedroom at my house is perfect and free." She smiled at him and he said, "Thank you, Cammie. And please, call me Orlando." I was furious. Not only did they treat me like a cab driver, but they made out in the back seat of my car! Chapter 2 - Future Husband Cammie and I had decided earlier that they wouldn't go to school the next day. She invited me to sleep over because her parents were out of town, so I had my stuff at her house and Orlando had his bag with him. That night, we watched movies. Well, I should say I watched movies while the whore and the pedophile made out. It was probably four in the morning when we all said goodnight. Orlando went into his room and Cammie and I went into her room. She gave me a pillow and a blanket and I slept on the floor. When I woke up, I could smell coffee and bacon. When I went into the kitchen I saw Orlando sitting at the table with coffee and toast, and Cammie at the stove making bacon and eggs for two. I said, "Making bacon and eggs for you two?" and she said "No silly, Orlando is a veggitarian! I was making it for us." I felt less mad at her, but still frustrated. We ate and I listened to them talk. I left around one in the afternoon. When I got home I realized I forgot my brush at Cammie's, so I left to go get it. When I got there, I walked in like I always do), but when I passed Orlando's room to go into Cammie's bathroom, the door was open and I saw them. I saw them naked in his bed and I freaked. I screamed "Pedophile" and left. Two hours later, Cammie called me and told me how sorry she was, but that she and Orlando loved each ther, blah blah blah. I stopped listening until I heard "we're going to France to elope." I gasped and got ready to yell and scream at her when she said, "Will you be my maid of honor, and our witness?" I said yes, only because she must've really loved him. Plus it was a free trip to France. When we got there, they decided they wanted to do it straight away. Me and Cammie went to go get our dresses and Orlando went to go get a friend and a tux. When we got to the church, Cammie looked beautiful. We stood at the end of the isle and the music started to play. I walked down and looked at Orlando, and I wasn't mad anymore. I looked at the man next to him and nearly fainted. It was Elijah Wood. I tried to hide the stunned look on my face as I kept walking, but I saw Elijah give out a little laugh along with Orlando. I stood there at the end of the isle yelling at myself until Cammie started coming down the isle. She smiled at Orlando and he looked amazed with her. The service ended and they left in a limo. Elijah looked at me and said, "Hello, I'm Elijah, you're Melissa, right?" And I said yes. Then he took me out to dinner and later we met up with Cammie and Orlando. There was a party Orlando wanted to go to, so we started to head in that direction. All of a sudden I saw cameras flashing and video cameras all around. Then a news van pulled right infront of us and the car came to a screeching hault. Then I heard it. I heard Cammie scream and windows and metal smash. When I opened my eyes, I saw Orlando knocked out at the wheel, Elijah covering his head in a ball, and then I saw Cammie and screamed. I screamed until blackness took me over. Chapter 3 - Reality When I woke up, I was laying on a floor. I opened my eyes and I was sleeping on Cammie's floor. It was all a dream. She looked down at me with a scared expression on her face, then she looked up at the door. I looked up and there stood Orlando Bloom. to be continued...
