"You think it would be a really good
idea to do what?" Clara looked over at Sophie, her scepticism clear on her
face. Just because it was the first day of the holidays, and it was chucking it
down with rain, didn't mean that they should give up having any fun at all.
"I'm not spending a good portion of our time off watching movies we hate.
It's stupid. Most of the time we'll be
able to go out and do stuff. Today is a one off and there is no need to punish
ourselves."
"Ah, but we are also poor, and Netflix
and our DVD collections are free!" Sophie enthuses, she is looking more
and more excited by the moment, brown hair swirling round her shoulders as she
turns to look at her, admittedly impressive, DVD collection. "And you
weren't listening to me, it’s not about bad movies! We're going to decide on
the top twelve worst movies that most people, including us, think are
great."
"That is still stupid," Clara
insists, "it doesn't even make sense."
"It does! It's like... Frozen, we both
love it... you're still braiding your hair like Elsa's," Clara's fingers
twitch as she resists tugging on her hair, which was braided, "buuuuut, if
you examine the plot of the movie it all starts to fall apart. Or Beauty and
the Beast, which is basically just Stockholm syndrome. Huh, I guess Disney isn't
going to do well on our list based on that. Maybe, we should limit it to just
one. That would be really difficult to do…"
"We're not making a list!" She
breaks that train of thought as soon as she can, or there would be no stopping
Sophie. Flopping back onto Sophie's bed, Clara raises her hands to examine her
nails. "Why twelve and not the top ten, anyway?" Slowly but surely she is
admitting defeat.
Sophie sighs and Clara just knows she is
rolling her eyes. "We each get a free pick that the other person isn't
allowed to question - obviously. It’s one of the worst movies, no matter what."
Picking at the peeling blue polish, Clara
purses her lips. Time to give in with dignity. "Want to watch
Frozen?"
They're good enough friends that Sophie
doesn't crow in triumph as she goes to
grab the film.
