Key

Mike and I arranged to go to the cinema and we decided to meet at my house. He planned to drive us
there in his new car. I only consented to go out with him because promised to pay for the tickets. It was
a disaster. As we got out of the car it began to rain and I had forgotten to bring my umbrella. We tried to
run to the cinema but we failed to avoid the rain. Mike hurried to the door by himself, refused to lend me
his coat and neglected to hold the door open for me. What a gentlemen!

I wanted to watch a horror film but Mike begged to watch the new Star Trek movie. I consented to watch
it if he swore to buy me some popcorn. I didn’t expect to like the film but it was so bad that I struggled to
stay awake. I couldn’t wait to go home.

We intended to drive home but the car failed to start. As we were walking home we happened to see
Ana and David . We didn’t stop to talk to them because they appeared to be arguing. She was
threatening to leave him. I didn’t mean to listen but I wasn’t able to stop myself. If you ask me Ana
doesn’t deserve to have a guy like David. He always strives to make her happy and she continues to treat
him badly. I wouldn’t dare to tell her that though!

When I got home it was really late so I attempted to sneak upstairs. However my parents were waiting to
speak to me in the living room. They proceeded to tell me how worried they’d been and threatened to
stop me going out for the rest of the month. I attempted to explain what happened and they agreed to
lower it to one week. I don’t aim to go out again anytime soon anyway!
