KFC

tw-mentions of abuse and drinking

"You coming with us or nah?" I heard someone ask from behind. I quickly looked back. I had gotten stuck in my thoughts, thinking about him.

"Yeah, I'm coming." I said and stood up from where I had sat, dingling my legs down the skating ramp. I took my skateboard. I smiled at the brunette who started walking.

Nick was my best friend. He had been all my life. We knew each other since we were in diapers, and we had always been very close. I told him everything, and he did the same for me. I cared about him so much, and I don't know what I would do without him.

We walked up to the others.

"We thought about going to KFC, you wanna join?" the bright pink haired asked.

"Yeah Techno, I'm starving." I replied, grinning as I patted my stomach.

"I kinda want some Chicken Littles, what about you guys?" the purple haired wondered while stepping on her skateboard and grabbed it.

"Minx, what the fuck, that's litterly the worst thing to get at KFC." the orange haired complained.

"Says the furry." Minx laughed, everyone joined in but Fundy. He just glared at all of us, crossed his arms and looked up in the air, pouting.

"Well I'm getting Mac and cheese." I responded.

"Dreamy, getting a bit cheesy, are we?" Nick laughed. I rolled my eyes at him.

"Can we go right now? I promised Will to help him take care of his, uh, I don't even know. Friends? I have to be there in like twenty minutes." the light pink haired, Niki, yelped. We all nodded and put our skateboards down to the ground. We started skating over to the bike path and went on from there. KFC was like five minutes away if we were fast enough, and we were.

When we got there we hurried inside. People looked at us when we got in, some smiled, some looked disgusted. Well, what can I say? We're six seventeen year olds rushing into a KFC with skateboards in hand and big grins on our faces, all with different hair colours. We laughed even more when we got to the counter where we were gonna order. The cashier looked all surprised and shit.

"Hey, welcome to KFC, what can I do for you guys today?" she said after a little while with a, very fake, beaming smile.

She had dirty blonde, thick hair. She was very tanned and had very glossy lips with way too much red-tinted lip gloss. I could see her look at me and wink with her mascara covered eyelashes.

"I want fucking everything." Nick whispered to me. "And she deffo wants you." he then added. I scoffed and shook my head. He just smiled.

"I'd like Chicken Littles, and Tall man over there wants Mac and cheese, else I don't know." Minx said and pointed at me as she said 'Tall man'.

"Alright! What do you other gentlemen, and lady, want?" she asked and smiled fakely.

"I'll have the Cole Slaw." Niki smiled. The girl behind the counter wrote down some things on a notebook and looked up again.

"I'll have the Pot pie." Techno muttered. Me, Fundy and Nick looked at him and put our fingers in our mouth, as if to show that we wanted to throw up. Pot pie, urk.

"I want, uh, fuck. Kentucky Grilled Chicken? Yeah, that sounds, disgusting honestly, but I don't fucking care." Nick muttered and I raised my eyebrows, smiling big.

"Crispy Colonel Sandwich, please." Fundy smiled lightly.

"Alright." the girl nodded and Minx paid for all of us, after some protests and promised re-payings.

We all sat down to eat at a table. People were still looking at us, mostly because we were very loud. Laughing, shouting and giggling were all that was heard from our table where it actually just fit five people, so the shortest, Niki, had to stand up. The table was pretty high so it worked.

"Hey, you guys, I have to go. Will says that Tommy is trying to burn the whole neighborhood down." Niki muttered and shook her hand to say goodbye. We laughed a bit. Tommy? He seems like an idiot. She walked away and soon we were finished eating. Techno and Fundy went home first, then Minx. It was only me and Nick left.

"Still thinking about him, are you?" he asked. I looked up, surprised, but then I nodded.

"Yeah, though I'd rather not talk about it." I said and gave him a small, ingenuine smile. Nick nodded and got up.

"I have to go, see you in school. Bye dude." he smiled and walked outside. I waved at him.

I didn't feel like leaving yet. I know that when I got home my parents would probably be fighting, maybe drunk. They both were often. They hit each other, then blamed it on their kids. Me and my sister. Mostly me, because I'm older and I wouldn't let her get hit or talked meanly to.

When I felt like I was ready to go I felt a tap on my shoulder. I quickly looked behind me and saw the cashier standing there, winking at me with those mascara covered eyelashes.

"Hey, I'm Tiffany. Like, you're, like, really cute and stuff. So, like, do you want my number? Like, I could, like, take you somewhere, like, maybe, like, the cinema." she said. What's up with this girl and 'like'. I didn't want her number. I didn't want to speak to her. I didn't want her to find me cute. I didn't want her. I wanted him. I needed to get out of this.
"Sorry Tiff, I'm taken." I replied. Frowning when I realised what I called her.

"Well, I see no girl here." she smirked. My first thought was 'Girl?" but of course she'd think I was straight.

"Sorry, I have to go." I tried. She started walking closer to me and put her hand on my shoulder. I tried to come up with something to say.

Just scream. Like really high pitched. She'll get scared.

Just fucking drop kick her and say 'monkeyyy!' and run outside.

No that's stupid.

Just go outside.

Kinda wanna drop kick someone right now though.

Just leave, idiot.

I took her hand which layed on my shoulder and put it off me. She looked disappointed. I let out a big sigh and started walking out, just to remember I needed my skateboard. When I walked back to get it she smiled again. I shook my head to show that I wasn't interested, took my skateboard, and walked out.

Cammy is having a sleepover at her friend's house. She'll be home by tomorrow.

It had gotten dark by the time we were eating. The cold breeze felt nice against my bare arms and face. I got goosebumps from the cold, but I didn't mind. The leaves were nicely swaying above my head as a whizzed forward on my skateboard. It smelled of grass and people barbequing. It was the middle of September. School had started a while ago. I wished so bad that I could go back to this summer. Fix everything I messed up. But you can't change the past, so I will have to make sure to change the future. If the future lets me.

When I got home I decided against using the front door. Instead I decided to climb up the tree that was next to my window. My window was a bit open. I never locked it when I went out of the house and my parents were home.

I smoothly slid through my bedroom window and plopped down on my bed as I did so. I was tired, so I decided that I should sleep. I went under my comforter with my window still open.

I fell asleep hearing loud noises and angry voices from downstairs.
