Sarah

The next day I met up with Jared. I asked him what we were doing for our date. When?where? All the details.

He answered "Just be ready tonight at 8:00 and meet me at the stables."

***

It was 6:30 and I figured I should probably start getting ready. I didn't know how long it would take me to get ready for a date since I had never been on one so I figured it'd be better if I got ready early.

I looked through my closet and decided I didn't know anything about the latest fashion or whatever so I went to someone who I knew did. Ella Duncan. She was the perky blonde from the first night of camp. I didn't really like her but I didn't know who else to go to.

She came to my room and went through my closet. She finally picked out an outfit after destroying my bedroom. I put it on. It was my favorite dress that I wear to church. That's the only time I don't wear jeans and a T-shirt or button-up.

The dress is navy blue and has a lot of lace on it. To go with it was a braided belt thing. It was casual enough for something less fancy but it was fancy enough depending on what we do. I wore some matching navy blue flats and Ella had curled my hair and done my makeup. I don't think I had ever looked this pretty.

Jared

I was all ready to take Sarah out on a date. I was planning on taking her do something she had never done before. We were going to the movies.

I knocked on the door and her dad answered.

"Hi Jared. What are you doing dressed up  this late?"

"I'm taking Sarah out, sir" I said kind of nervous. I know I have his blessing but He still scares me.

"Are you now?"

"Yes sir" I say still a little nervous.

"Well you two have fun and if you hurt her you better believe you are going to be hurt worse." He threatened.

"Yes sir" I repeated.

"Sarah! Jared is here!" He yelled up the stairs.

Down came the most beautiful thing I had ever seen. Maybe a little overdressed for the movies but I can't blame her for that since I didn't tell her.

"I thought we were going to meet at the stables." She said.

"I changed my mind." I replied.

We left her house and went to the stables. We saddled up two horses and I told her to just follow me. I rode down to where the movie theater was. I was going to take her to see romantic comedy for it being her first movie ever.

It was titled Love spelled backward is Love. ( comment if you know what that is from) Stupid title but it seemed pretty good.

As we watched the theater got colder and Sarah started shiver. I put my arm around her and she leaned in. After a while I thought she was asleep until I heard her sniffle. She was crying. I don't really like romantic movies so I just sat there and watched Sarah while eating popcorn.

I told her "it's just movie"

"But it's so sad." She said between sobs "I mean he was going to propose then he died..." she continued to sob.

The movie eventually ended and Sarah was still  in tears.

"That was great!" She said happily even though she was still crying " can we do this again?" She asked

"Sure but we could just rent movies and watch them on my laptop.

"I really wish we had TV." She said.

"There's always Christmas." I said.

We rode back to the ranch while talking about the movie. Once we got back and unsaddled the horses we walked back to her house and I wished her goodnight. We had such a good time.

***

The next day at lunch break I tried avoiding Sarah so that I could go rent some movies. I rented the first two Hunger Games movies. Along with the Twilight movies. I figured we could just have a movie night.

I got back to the ranch and hid the movies in my backpack in the cabin. Everyone ate and then we all went back to our cabins. I went in just to get my bag and then walked right back out. I went up to her house with my bag containing my laptop and the movies.

Bill suggested I didn't bring my laptop and told him I wouldn't but that was a lie.

I knocked on the door and a woman who I guessed was Sarah's mom answered. She had dark brown hair that stopped at her jaw. She had the same blue-green eyes as Sarah. She just looked like an older version of Sarah.

"What are you doing out so late?"
She asked as her dad did last night when I took her to the movies.

"I came to see Sarah." I answered.

"Oh you're that boy she has been talking about." She said.

"She talks about me?"

"Yeah all the time." She answered.

"So..uh... Can you get Sarah for me?"  I can't believe she talks about me.

"Oh! Right. SARAH! COME DOWN  HERE!" She yelled.

Running down the stairs came Sarah.

"What is it...." She paused when she saw me "Oh. Hey Jared." Her expression changed from annoyance by her mom's disturbance to happiness when she saw me.

"I'll just leave you two alone." Her mom said and left the room.

"What are you doing here?"

"Remember last night I said we could watch movies on my laptop?." I asked

"Yeah." She answered.

I didn't say anything but instead just gestured to my bag.

"That sounds cool." She said

I walked over to her couch and set my bag on the coffee table. I pulled my laptop and the movies out. I didn't figure she knew much about movies so I just picked Twilight. Every girl loves Twilight.

I started the movie. She loved it. We sat in the same position as we did in the movie theater. My arm around her. Her head rested on my shoulder.

I had mentioned to her that there were five movies in the series. She begged me to play the next movie. We watched it. She loved it. We watched the whole series.

She begged me to play another movie. Good thing I rented the Hunger Games but it was already about 1:00 a.m.

I told her we could start the Hunger Games during our lunch break tomorrow but she needed to go to sleep.

"Unless you want to be eaten alive by mosquitoes you should sleep here tonight" she suggested.

"I hadn't even thought about mosquitoes. They aren't really a problem in L.A." I heard a creaking sound come from behind me but I didn't think much of it.

I curled up in blanket on her couch as she went upstairs to her bedroom.

AN

I can't believe I easily made this a longer chapter. I usually have to work hard to make it at least ten pages but if this chapter wasn't long already I would have doubled its length but I figured I should just make a separate chapter. I know I'm telling you more than you need to know (I'm starting to sound like my S.S. Teacher) but you don't have to read the AN so I thank you if you are reading this. Anyway...

I love you all!

Happy reading!!!
