Downtown #1

Every now and then, after school, a large group of friends and I walk downtown. We normally see a movie. One such time, a group of about fifteen students, including me, went to see a horror film. However, the movie we wanted to see was not running at the correct time. So instead, my movie-starved friends went to see Prince Caspian.
As most of you know, Prince Caspian is a book from C.S. Lewis' Chronicles of Narnia. Now these books, though having underlying themes of christianity, are fantastic despite their relentless subliminization. But the movies are different.
Not only do they cut out at least half the content of the original books, they make all of the dark and disturbing parts replaced by scenes with talking rats and mice. So, yeah. I didn't feel like seeing that movie. But that was alright. I had people to hang out with. Ten of my friends went to see Prince Caspian, while the other five of us were left alone. Cold and lonely, carrying a twenty pound wheeled chair. Uh...I can explain.
Earlier this day, three of my friends and I found a chair outside the school with a piece of paper reading 'free' taped to it. When we saw this, a thought sparked into our heads.
At the time we thought it was a brilliant idea to push each other downhill on this chair at alarmingly fast speeds. So we did. Now there were problems with this chair, such as its faulty back (which we later fixed with super glue, but that's a story for another time). This resulted in many painful injuries on our part. We made use of the free paper, of course, as we converted it into a makeshift free hugs sign. A stroke of genius.
So there we were, five seventh grade children wheeling a faulty desk chair around downtown Seattle, leftover Subway sandwiches from lunch clutched tightly in our shivering hands, displaying a halfheartedly made Free Hugs sign proudly.
We were bored.
So we went to a mall.
