y/n's pov "this is really stupid." i look over at liya. "it's not, just try it out. he's really sweet." she touches up my makeup.
"yeah i know. i've met him before. we just don't connect, it's always so awkward." i shake my head at the thought. "yeah yeah whatever. hurry up and change." she pushes me into my bathroom.

"y/n.. this is a DATE! you can't wear that." maddy observes my outfit. "yeah that's what i told her." liya adds in.
"i'm not wearing a dress or dressing up for him. i really don't care." i tie my laces and grab my keys. "only doing this for you guys." i point at them and walk out our house.
"TELL US THE DETAILS!" i hear them yell.

vinnie's pov "she literally doesn't like me at all." i tell kio as i dry my hair. "but she does.. she's just- uhm- stand offish. she's really nice tho." he shrugs.
"yeah.. right. she's always mean mugging me." "she just has a resting bitch face. now go, you're gonna be late!" he rushes me downstairs.
"damn relax." i laugh. "GOOD LUCK!" "he's gonna need it." "y/n isn't the easiest." i hear them say as i walk out the door.
i shake my head and drive to the restaurant.

narrative vinnie is currently waiting for y/n. she's five minutes late only because she's nervous. she takes a deep breath and walks into the restaurant.
"i'm with vinnie hacker." she tells the waitress. she nods and leads her to the table.
she sees vinnie sitting down and sits right infront of him. they both smile awkwardly and have no clue what to do.
"i like your outfit." vinnie compliments the girl. "thanks, i like yours too..." she trails off once she sees her ex.
vinnie notices and turns around to see what she's looking out. he knows that's her ex, he's seen and heard about it from his friends considering the fact that they're her friends also.
"you good?" he focuses back on y/n. "yeah.." she brushes her legs and tries to calm down. "come here." he pats the seat next to him.
she gets up and sits next to the boy. "just relax, okay." he faces her. y/n slowly nods and calms her breathing pattern.

so far the date has been going good, it's not awkward anymore. "i didn't think you liked me at all." vinnie blurts out making y/n stop eating and look at him.
"why?" she laughs. "i don't know. you always mean mugged me and we never really talked." he stops eating too.
"oh, sorry about that. it's not on purpose. i just observe before i make friends or anything." "no need to apolo-"
"oh hey y/n, who's this little boy toy?" brandon, y/n's ex, interrupts their date.
"i'm sorry." she mouths at vinnie. he ignores her worries and wraps an arm around her waist, pulling her closer. it's a way to keep her "safe".
she notices the action and smiles to herself. "i'm talking to you y/n. you can't even say hi?" he gets close to the girls face. vinnie instantly gets up and places y/n behind him.
"relax, all we want to do is enjoy each other. you lost her, let her be happy." vinnie and brandon face to face.
"what you gone do about it." he chuckles as he side eyes the caucasian boy. "vinnie please let it go." y/n steps in knowing what brandon is capable of.
"yeah listen to that bitch." the ex snickers. one thing vinnie can't stand is when boys call woman, bitches or bitch. y/n notices vinnie's hands clenched together as does brandon.
brandon puts his hand on his back grabbing something making y/n get up, "let's go vinnie, NOW." she drops a hundred dollar bill and attempts to grab vinnie's arm. but he won't budge.
"vinnie please.." she looks up at him. y/n hears a click behind her and closes her eyes.
