I let Ethan take me out to a late movie after practice on Tuesday. It was weird, because when I mentioned that I had plans that evening Mitch didn't tease me about it at all. Maybe she was trying to be good because I was helping her with math. She didn't press for details like Carrie did, but she did get surlier the more I talked about it, so I dropped it. For some reason teasing her with Ethan had lost a lot of its fun.

He let me choose the movie, but I didn't force him to sit through the biggest chick flick on the roster. We sat near...
