Chapter 10 - Movie Theater

Its Sunday and Sunday means fun. Its the universal rule of humanity...

​The road of Shanghai is filled. The wind is not blowing. Everything is calm but noisy. Kids playing and laughing in their phones.

​Me and my son, I mean Xun, are now in a movie theater watching a romance movie.

​Its an action movie. Xun whispered.

​Shut up!

​How are we affording the movie?

​No, no, we did not pay for this. That is the perk of Student Council. We are very respectful members after all.

​And Xun still owes me that 55 yuan. He is currently broke as fuck.

​...

​We are currently sitting in the back row. The whole theater visible. The theatre is clean but dirty. Dark but bright because of the screen.

​Taraka, can you stop talking? We are in the movie theater. Xun whispered in my ear.

​No! I said in Xun's face.

​But its a movie... Xun tried to say.

​You still haven't paid your debt. I said, looking at him smirking.

​Uh, whatever. Xun looked away.

​The whole council is watching the movie from the front row.

​And about the toilet incident?

​I and Xun both confidently turned the situation by.

​Doing nothing, Xun said.

​We did absolutely nothing. The meeting was postponed.

​Thus we are still alive. Xun said calmly.

​Xun, I was narrating; why did you talk? I shouted.

....

​Anyway, the movie is now starting.

​Its an action anime movie of the manga called Saw Man...

​Animated by Pamma studio.

​Director:

​Eh? Start the movie already. I don't give a fuck about this guy. Xun said, biting his popcorn.

​Well actually... I don't care too. Just show us the movie. I said, agreeing.

​Fuck the credits...

​The movie finally started after wasting 5 minutes of our life.

​10 minutes into the movie. The character Benji said something.

​"Peze, you are both pretty and ugly," Benji said, staring at Peze like she was some kind of zombie.

​"What do you mean, Benji?" Peze said, confused.

​"You are pretty ugly," Benji said.

​The whole theater burst into laughter.

​Was it that funny? I asked Xun, eating my popcorn.

​Just laugh, Taraka, or everyone will think we are some kind of weirdo. Xun said, laughing like a maniac.

​Well, I think I should laugh too.

​Hahaha...

​Halfway through the movie.

​We heard some strange noises from the corner.

​We both looked at it.

​A couple kissing.

​What the...

​Eh?

​Are you sure it was a movie theater, Taraka? Xun said, mouth opened, stuffing some popcorn.

​It's a movie theater and I didn't book it; its the president's work. I said.

​But why are these guys kissing? Like, its not a hotel. I said.

​Maybe they are showing love? Xun said.

​Maybe...

​Should we stop them? Xun asked.

​No... we are just jealous of them. I think we should just move our attention. I said.

​Well, I think you are right. I think I am jealous. Xun said.

​The last 10 minutes of the movie.

​Every line is important.

​Yes, tell us why Peze betrayed Benji. Yes, tell us! Xun and I got thrilled as Peze was revealing the thing.

​I did it... because Benji... I....I.. I.. was..

​WAHHHHH!!

​Eh? Xun made a sound.

​Eh?

​The woman who was holding a baby in front of us.

​Her baby started crying like crazy filling the theater.

​This motherfucker!! I stood... ready to shoot it.

​Taraka, wait; its a baby. Xun ran, holding me.

​Xun, let me go... I will... kill this motherfucker... I said, clenching my fist.

​Taraka, you can't; we will get in more trouble.

​__

​And that was our movie experience with student council members.

​But we didn't even talk to them. Xun whispered.

​It doesn't matter.

​And it was our first movie in a theater. Xun smiled... I will never forget it...

​But I will kill that baby. I couldn't hear the reason of Peze because of that motherfucker... my whole experience got ruined because of that thing.

​I will never forget his face!

​Calm down!! Taraka... we are outside!
