Late Movie Experience

 Last semester’s holiday, I had a unique experience. I went to a midnight movie with a friend from my neighborhood. I went to a midnight movie because I never go to a late movie event and the tickets were very cheap. Actually, the price of the tickets was the main reason. I made a plan to meet up with my friend in his house at 10pm. We decided to take a walk to the movie because we failed to borrow a motorbike and the movie theatre was just about 1km far. We were young, we could do that.

My mistake was I did not ask for permission to my parents. I just left my house silently. I thought they will never realize. I did that because I know that they will not allow me to hang out in a midnight. I locked my room’s door and went out at 9.30pm.

The movie was great. It was science-fiction movie. It was over at 2am. I was very happy until my phone rang and shows me 9 missed call and 5 messages from my parents. I opened one message. My father told me that he realized my obscure. My brain was searching a plan how to dodge their anger. I had a plan to make a lie and told them I was having sleepover at my friend house. And because of that, I had to go to my friend’s house in 20minutes because my father will check me.

We decided to cut through a cemetery in order to shorten the time. I am actually a big coward. Cutting a cemetery in daybreak is not my hobby. I was praying all the time when walked out the cemetery. Suddenly, my friend screamed loudly and run like an Olympic athlete. He made me follow him to run as fast as I can. I was imagining all of the horror movie characters I have watched. And “brakkkk”, I felt to a big hole in the middle of a cemetery. I screamed as loud as I can to call my friend. He was shocked and tried to help me. I had some wounds and can’t continue my walk. What made me mad that my friend actually just kidding me and never imagine that accident would happen.

Finally, we decided to call my parents and ask for help. I had no other choice. I explained the entire story. I and my friend were crammed by advices. I felt so guilty at that time. I promised to my parents that I will never do something like that again. My parents was happy and surprisingly said that they actually let me hang out wherever and whenever I want as long as I ask for permission and not do something negative because I am a grown man and could separate good things and bad things.
