OMG and The Stylish Harry

Grace got to the date spot. A new classmate, Harry Stylin, had asked her out on a date. It was a first for Grace as everyone just assumed that she was going out with Gus and didn’t approach her. At a distance GG and ER were following her.

“I’ve never seen OMG dress up like that before.” ER said. “Have you?”

“No. Well the last time she dressed up like that was during the farewell for the seniors we planned last year.” GG said. “Oh, Here he comes.”

“Hey, sorry I’m late.” Harry said.

“It’s fine, I just got here anyway.”

‘It seems like she was waiting for a while.’ Harry thought.

“She’s not lying. She just got here.” ER said.

“How are we hearing this? We are so far from them.” GG asked.

“Why don’t you guess?” ER said.

“You put a bug on her.”

“That’s… Actually correct. Wow, I guess your name isn’t just a stupid nickname.” ER said.

“So shall we get this started?” Grace said.

“Sure. So what do you want to do?” Harry asked.

“You’d usually have a plan when you go on a date.” GG said.

“Well, we could go for a movie.” Grace said.

“Oh boy. This does not look good.” GG said.

“Why?” ER asked.

“Any movie in mind?” Harry asked.

A few moments later.

“This is not the kind of movie date I had in mind.” Harry said, turning to look at Grace who was enjoying the zombie film.

‘But it’s nice.’ he thought as he stretched his arm.

“Oh, is he going for it?” GG whispered to ER.

“It seems like it. The zombie film is not the ideal place for it though.”

Harry stretched and carefully placed his arm behind Grace. Grace felt his arm and jolted slightly. Harry’s arm which was on the back rest of her seat was now on her shoulder.

‘I forgot that this was supposed to be a date.’ She thought.

‘I think I startled her.’ Harry thought.

‘What do I do now?’ The both of them thought.

“They both are frozen. Now what?” GG asked.

“I got this.” ER said pulling out his phone.

He typed something and put his phone down.

“Let’s see what happens.”

Just then the AC in the theatre got really cold. To the point everyone started to either tighten their coats or get closer to their close ones.

Harry pulled Grace in closer.

“It’s getting pretty cold huh.” He said.

“Y-yeah.” Grace said pulling closer.

“Harry’s Stylin with that.” ER said.

“You own this theatre?” GG asked.

“What the- how did you know?” ER asked.

“I guessed. You gave this theatre to someone who asked for one.”

“I guess now I know how you became a detective. That guessing power is scary.”

They both turned to see a woman with a violin pendant sitting there.

“Sarah, what are you doing here?”

“Who’s this?” ER asked.

“Sarah Streams is one of our seniors. And the photographer for the university. But that’s beside the point. What are you doing here?”

“I’m doing the same thing you 2 are doing.”

“Stalking OMG?” ER asked.

“Technically. But I’m here to stalk my cousin’s date.”

“Harry?”

Sarah nodded. The other 2 just shrugged and continued their movie date stalking as the movie reached the intermission. Harry got up.

“You need anything? Food, drinks?” Harry asked.

“Get 2 of whatever you are getting.” Grace replied.

“Ok I guess we’ll have to collaborate on this.” Sarah said leaning forward. “Boys what do you think?”

“I’m thinking we get ER to discount whatever he’s buying.” GG said looking at his phone.

“Not a bad idea but what are you looking at?” ER asked.

“Grace is texting me about the date.” GG said. “I asked her how it’s going.”

“And?” Sarah asked.

“She said that it’s pretty fun.” GG said, reading the text.

“Ask her what she thinks about Harry.”

“Just did.”

They looked up to see Grace typing something for a while. Then she finally sent it.

“Is that a text or a news report?” ER asked.

Gus finished reading it and looked up.

“So what does it say?”

“She said that…”

After hearing the news Sarah’s eyes widened.

“Are you serious?”

“Yes.”

Harry came back just a few minutes before the movie came back from intermission. He was holding a massive popcorn bucket and a big colddrink.

“Where the heck did he get that?” Ashley asked.

“I called in a favou- wait what the hell? Where did you come from, AA?” ER asked.

“Well I was passing by. Give me an earpiece.” AA said.

“Never thought that “Dystopia to song of the dead” would be a good “Movie date” movie.” Carl said sitting beside ER.

“Great. Now the next thing we need is Leroy.” GG said.

Let’s go back to the date, shall we?

“That’s pretty big.” Grace said, looking at the popcorn bucket.

“They said that it’s a couple’s offer and I was the lucky one there.” Harry said.

“Couple’s offer huh.” Grace said as Harry sat down beside her. “Oh by the way, I’m sorry that the movie I chose wasn’t really date-like.”

“You think?” CC whispered.

“Shut up.” Sarah said.

“It’s fine. I don’t really mind it but it would be better if the next movie date is less… gory. Actually it’s funny and cute that you like this kind of movie.”

“Cute? Are you insulting, mister knock-off singer?” Grace asked bluntly.

“No no. I just find it interesting. It’s because you have the “rule-following elegant woman” vibe.”

Grace smiled.

“Thanks for the compliment.”

They continued watching the movie and walked out of the theatre. They then had dinner and Harry drove her home.

“Thanks you didn’t need to.” Grace said when they reached her house.

“I know. I wanted to.” Harry said.

“Smooth. Goodbye Harry.”

“Bye.” Harry said as Grace got out of the car.

He sat there in silence for a bit. He then got out of the car and ran behind Grace.

“GRACE.”

Grace turned to see him running up to her.

“What’s up Harry?”

“Did you have fun today?” Harry asked.

“I did. Thank you Harry.”

“That’s good. Say, hypothetically, if I asked you out on another date, what would you say?”

 

A few hours earlier.

“So what does it say?” Sarah asked after Gus read the message.

“She said that he’s very nice and cool. Even though she dragged him to a movie that’s not fit for a date, he was very understanding and actually had fun with her.”

“He does like violent movies.” Sarah said. “Ask her if he asked her out again what she’d say.”

 

In the present,

“Of course I will. I really had fun today and I’m looking forward to our next date, Harry.”

Grace smiled as she turned and walked into her house.

Harry turned to get to his car. On the way back he had a big grin.

Interlude – 2

“So that happened.” OMG said.

“And now the rumors have changed.” GG said.

“To what?”

“That you are now cheating on me with SH.” GG said.

“Oh lord.”

“People love drama, my dear.” SS said sitting on GG’s table. “That’s how the world goes around.”

“Since when did you 2 get close?” OMG asked.

GG and SS looked at eachother and turned to face OMG.

“Looks like she doesn’t know.” SS said.

“Well I haven’t told her yet and then SH asked her out.” GG said.

“What are you 2 going on about?”

“We are engaged.” they both said at the same time.

“What the-” The End.
