One Can Only Hope

Where Did You Go?

☯️Hope's P.O.V.☯️

"Ouch! That fricken hurt!" CB complained. The new dude had slapped CB across the face.

I looked up at both of them as I do my best to hold in my giggle.

"Did you even ask if she had a phone with her?" CB slowly rolls his eyes to the ground like a puppy would after he ate your homework.

🍁Kyle's P.O.V.🍁

"Lilac? Do you see Hope anywhere?" I look around the crowd but I can't seem to find her.

"No, I'm starting to get worried." Lilac replies while standing on her tippy toes jumping up and down, causing a scene.

I grab her hand and start yanking her towards the exit "Hey! Let me go!" I turn my head to instead of seeing Lilac, I see a boy someplace around my age, and dang he is hot!

"*Gasp* I am so sorry! I thought you were my friend!" I look at him with a face that I can like, only imagine to be the stupidest face in existence.

"No problem. Nice hair btw. What's your name?"

..Umm...me? The guy that just pulled on your wrist so hard that you could have flown away? I look around and then look back to him expecting it to be someone else. He then looks at me like, Well you gonna answer me or not?

"Thanks. You've got like really nice hair too. And my name is Kyle, what is yours?" My mind is just having a tsunami of questions, is he gay? Maybe just bi-sexual? Are we flirting? Are we just going to be good friends? Is he taken? I'm then interrupted by his reply.

"My name is James, nice to meet you Kyle." Bzzzz bzz "Just a second.." He begins to reach in a little purse that I didn't even realize he had. To my surprise he pulls out a little note pad and pencil, scribbles something on it, tears it out, then hands it to me. "Call me." He smiles at me and I felt myself totally melting to the ground like the witch in The Wizard of Oz. Except that I was happy rather than dying.

"I will!" I yell and look for him through the crowed. No sight of him.

"Who were you looking for? Hope? Me? Or that boy I saw you flirrrrting wiiiith?"

"Aaah! Lilac! I wasn't like.. flirting, I was just talking to him." I defend myself. "And you scared the crap out of me." Not that she cared. She was just laughing and sipping her drink in between each giggle.

"Hey, what is that?" Lilac points to the little paper James had given to me.

"Nosy much?" I question her as I tuck it in my purse.

"Nope just curious."

Ugh annoying much? Yep.

"So. MAYBE SHE IS ALREADY IN THE THEATRE!" Lilac yelled so freaking loud that I thought my ears were bleeding. Ouch.

"Girl! Chill out. Let's just wait in line and see what happens." I demanded "Come on, let's see if your right."

We waited in line with wide eyes...mostly Lilac's eyes.

"When are we going to be at the front?"

"I don't know. I'm not like, someone with super powers." I replied. Luckily there wasn't many people left in the line. Unluckily Lilac had bought a jumbo size box of nerds candy and she was stress crunching. "Can I have some of your popcorn?"

She looked around like I was talking to some one else, looked back at me and finally questioned me,"Who me? Were you talking to me? PFFT! These old things?"

"First of all, yes you. And secondly, those do not like, look out of date." I gave her a stop being so 'of the dumb ass' and give me food look."So can you just give me some popcorn?"

"Whaaaat? These yellow blobs are not 'popcorn.' They are..umm-" I then cut her off.

"Then please, give me some umm." I emphasized the word umm, clearly annoying her. She deserves it since she is playing the 'dumb game.'

Before we knew it we were up at the front of the line. If people had horns like cars do, it would be extremely loud in here.

"So, may I see your ticket?" The security guard asked. We didn't bother answering him. Strangely, Lilac wasn't the first one to get straight to the point.

"Look, how long have you been working here today?" I inquired. Crossing my arms waiting very impatiently.

"Since early this morning. Why is it you ask?" The guard interrogated.

"We can't find our friend. Have you seen her? She has brown hair, brown eyes, and she is not dressed for the cold." Lilac inferred.

"Oh yes. I had seen her a while ago. She was looking for you two and last time I saw her was when she left towards the door." He pointed to the side door in a corner by a family bathroom.

"Thank you so much!" I yelled. We were already almost there 'cause the second he pointed, we were off. Looking for our best friend. But I couldn't help but think about the cute boy that had given me his number out of not even knowing me.

We opened the back door hoping to see Hope,"Kyle?.."

"Ya Lil?"

"What is that?" She pointed to the ground.
