Lapping Up The Horror

(My friend and I both love horror movies and try to see as many as we can. We’re at the local cinema and are about to sit down to see one. There’s four girls sitting on the same row as us. We’re also girls.)

Friend: “Hey, [My Name], can you sit next to them? You know how I dislike sitting next to strangers.”

Me: “Sure, it doesn’t matter to me.”

(We sit down, my friend to my right and the group of strangers to my left. Being used to horror movies and having an odd sense of humor, we laugh a lot at the scary scenes. The girls to our left are more jumpy, but we don’t think about it, until a sudden scare.)

Girl To My Left: “Ahh!”

(Something hits my lap. I look down, and the girl directly to my left has been so scared, she ducked to the side for safety – ending up with her head in my lap. I burst out laughing, as does my friend. The other girl looks up, and upon discovering she just threw herself at a complete stranger, looks mortified. Her friends start laughing, as well.)

Girl To My Left: *sits up* “I am soooo sorry! God, I didn’t mean to. I am so sorry!”

Me: *still laughing* “It’s fine; I understand why you did it. No problem.”

Girl To My Left: “Sorry again!” *turns to her friends* “I thought one of you were sitting there!”

(We all turned our attention back to the movie, still chuckling. That’s one way to deal with a scary scene in a movie!)
