Hey,
So as you can probably guess, instead of doing the revision I was meant to do (i’ll do it tomorrow!) I went on a date with Him. The original plan was to get a train to Brighton, walk several miles, go to Cineworld then head back. However, logistically this ended up being a nightmare… so we ditched that plan and went into Worthing town instead. We went to the Dome cinema to go see Night At The Museum 3 and Kingsman: The Secret Service. I have to say, as much as I love NATM movies, Kingsman had it beat with hilarious scenarios, pugs, chavs, spies, a killing virus – and did I mention pugs? It was great.
I woke up at 8:30, got dressed and headed into town to get a train at half nine. I arrived far too early and had to hang around at the station. Besides the cold weather, this wasn’t an issue. Eventually, I got onto the train and quickly arrived at Worthing station, and could see him standing on the other side of the gate smiling. Naturally, my ticket wasn’t working so I had to get this older employee to help me out. Great start.
We walked to the cinema, bought tickets for both films at the same time, bought popcorn and went upstairs to the screen we were meant to be in. However half way up the stairs we got stopped by the lady who served us popcorn. Apparently she served us the wrong flavour – salty instead of sweet. She quickly rushed away with us following behind her, and gave us another bag… also salty but I wasn’t gonna bother her about it.
We watched NOTM and then went to go get lunch at Mcdonalds. The place was filled to the brim with people so we decided to eat on the beach. Big mistake – it was freezing and we were literally surrounded by seagulls from every direction all anxious to steal some food. They were pretty fearless too, each trying to come near us and see if they could steal our food.
After we’d eaten, we realised we still had an hour and a bit to kill until the next movie so we wandered around Worthing. We even popped into Old Simm’s Sweetshop and bought a Twinkie each to try (really nice, very sweet though!). I also ran into an old Acquaintance when in WHSmiths buying drinks.
Eventually we found ourselves back at the cinema with still just under an hour left till the film that was playing in the screen we were meant to be in even finished. This meant we hung about in the hall way, talking quietly and watching everyone who walked around at the cinema. Eventually the film emptied. We went to go use the bathroom and when we came back there was a huge queue to get into the theatre as the staff cleaned.
Eventually we got into the cinema screen we needed to be in (Same screen, same seats!), watched trailers, ate food and watched Kingsman: The Secret Service. When the film finished, it was ten to six and I could feel the blisters on my feet from all the walking. However, we still needed to walk to the cinema so we walked quite quickly. He even put his coat around my shoulders over my coat as I was shivering.
The train I needed to be on wasn’t for just under half an hour and he already had insisted on walking through the subway with me, so he hung around until quarter past where he decided he should probably go before they lock the gates. Just about this point, I noticed the rather loud half drunk leering men on the same side of the platform as I was on, making me rather uncomfortable. As he was about to exit through the gates, my Mum appeared from the other side of the gates and insisted I get a lift home ‘as it’s freezing and your train is ages away’.
All in all, I had a great day. Two movies, PLENTY of food, the beach, and wandering around Worthing with my best friend in the whole world. What else could I want?
I have school tomorrow once again but half term isn’t too far away. However, I am slightly dreading half term as it means my exams are going to be really close… and I am SO not prepared for AS level exams. I passed my mocks (C1 in Sociology, D in Psychology and a B in Biology) but that doesn’t lessen the nervousness very much.
Well, until next time.
