"can you believe that we graduate in a few months?" billie asked.
"no," my eyes widened a bit. "that's crazy as fuck."
"mhm," she agreed. "do you know what you're gonna do after you graduate?"
"well, i kinda wanna be an actor." my face flushed a bit.
"for real?" she raised a brow and i nodded. "that's cool. have you looked for any auditions or anything?"
"not yet, but i will," i assured. "what about you? do you know what you're doing after high school?"
"oh, i have no fucking clue," she snorted. "i'll figure it out though."
she dipped her french fry into the ketchup. "i'll probably work at jamba juice or some shit."
"really?" i snickered.
"yeah," she nodded. "what the hell else am i gonna do?"
"you could post your music." i suggested.
her face flushed. "what? no," she waved me off. "it wouldn't even go anywhere."
"are you kidding?" i looked at her in disbelief. "of course it would! you're talented as hell, bil! people would love your music!"
"whatever," she mumbled. "i don't think so."
i took one of her fries and her eyes widened. "hey, get your own!"
"nah, i only want a few." i snickered.
"well, damn, at least dip it in the ketchup."
"ew, no. ketchup is disgusting." i shook my head.
"what?!"
"yeah, it's nasty as fuck. i don't see how people like it. it's just so— nasty. that's the only word i can think of to describe it as." i explained.
"you're crazy." she scoffed.
"nah, you're crazy."

i gripped billie's hand as we walked into the small parlor. all of the walls were covered in a bunch of different art pieces. they look sick as hell.
"what if i got a tattoo?" billie asked as she looked around.
"you should," i nodded. "you would look sexy as hell with one."
"shittt," she dragged out. "i might. not today though."
she led me to the back of the parlor, where we were met by a tall guy. his skin was fairly dark, and he was honestly not that bad looking.
"hey, demetrius!" billie greeted with a grin as she dapped him up.
"hey, bil!" he grinned as well. "it's been way too long since i last saw you!"
"i know! but hey, i'm here now."
he then turned to me. "you must be bil's girlfriend, yeah? i'm demetrius." he held his hand out.
i took his hand and shook it. "i'm hope."
"that's a pretty name for a pretty girl."
billie kicked his shin. "watch it, d."
he held his hands up in defense. "chill out. i can't compliment her?"
"no." she answered shortly.
he let out a soft chuckle. "fine, fine. you know, it's really hard for me to believe that you have a girlfriend. you've never been the type for relationships."
"yeah, well, things change." she shrugged.
he turned back to me and raised an eyebrow. "so, you're here for a belly button piercing, right?"
"mhm." i hummed as i nodded.
"alright, then follow me."
he brought us back out to the front. he then pointed to a glass display counter. "there's all your options to choose from."
me and billie walked over and looked at all of them through the glass. billie pointed at one of them.
"if you wanna match mine, then that one is the one i got." she informed me.
i nodded. "alright," i looked up at demetrius. "can i get that one, please?"
"of course." he nodded.
he walked over and got it out. he then gestured for us to follow him again. we went back got the room we were in before. he told me to lay down in the chair, so i did. he started to get everything ready.
"you nervous?" billie raised a brow.
i nodded. "yeah. my pain tolerance is pretty low, so i know this is gonna hurt like a bitch." i pouted.
demetrius rolled over in his chair and started sterilizing my belly button and everything. he then set everything up. the last thing he had to do was stick the needle through, then put the piercing on.
"are you ready?" he asked.
i first reached for billie's hand. she gave it to me. "alright, now i am."
he counted down before sticking the needle through. i winced as he did and squeezed billie's hand tightly. my eyes watered up a bit.
"you good, tiny?" she asked softly,
"yeah, it just hurt a lot." i pouted.
"i know, my love," she sympathized. "do you wanna go get some ice cream?"
"ouu, yes, please!" i nodded. my eyes lit up. "can we go get ben and jerry's?"
"of course, angel." she smiled.
"damn, who knew that the billie eilish was soft." demetrius teased.
"shut the fuck up." bil threatened as she punched his shoulder.
"and there's the billie i know." he chuckled.
he finished up the piercing before we walked out to the front again. i paid him for the piercing and thanked him. we said our goodbyes after that and went to get ice cream.
"so, how was your music class?" i asked billie as i licked my ice cream.
"oh my god, it's amazing! i love it." she gushed.
i beamed at her as she went on to ramble about it. she's so cute whenever she talks about music.
after she finished rambling, she blushed. "why are you looking at me like that?"
"no reason; you're just cute," i smiled before giving her a kiss. "and i love you."
