Teenage Love

Chapter 1

Date written: Sunday, October 3rd, 2021

My name is (Y/N) Pepp and I am friends with the Goonies. Well most of them anyway. The only one I don't get along with is Mikey Walsh, but I get along just fine with his friends Mouth, Data, Chunk, and Brand (his brother). I'm fourteen, have curly black hair that goes midway down my back, and light green eyes. Currently I'm on my way over to the Walsh residence to see my friends for maybe the last time. See, we live on the Goon Docks and Mr. Perkins wants to buy it so he can put up a golf course. Who plays golf anyway? Its stupid. My parents plan to from Astoria, Oregon to Glasgow, Montana. There are less than 4,000 people living there and is over four and a half hours from the nearest metropolitan area. How lame is that? Anyway I'm getting off topic. I'm almost to the Walsh house, I can see it. I decided to run the rest of the way.

Once there I hop over the gate so I don't have to wait for Mikey to set off the Rube Goldberg Machine just to open the fence gate. I think its a waste of time, but it is cool to watch. I make my way up the path and into the front door. I don't see anyone so I make my way up to Brand and Mikey's room. I see Brand working out and Mikey read a MAD Magazine.

"Hey guys." I greet them.

"Hey (Y/N)." Brand greets me while still working out.

"What are you doing here?" Mikey glares at me.

"Wow way to make someone feel welcome." I roll my eyes. "I'm here to spend my last day with my friends before I have to move to Glasgow, Montana."

"Montana? That's like over a thousand miles." Brand said putting down his weights.

"Depending on the route. The quickest one is 1071 miles, its a 16 hour drive." I say plopping down on Brands bed.

"Well that's good for me then." Mikey says finally looking up from his magazine. I felt my heart sink a little at his words. I can't help that I'm in love with Mikey.

"Haha glad to see your happy about my suffering." I say throwing the closest thing at him. Turns out it was Brands sweaty shirt he had just taken off and replaced. It hit Mikey straight in the face. I couldn't help but laugh at the noises and face Mikey made.

"Nothing exciting ever happens around here anyway. Who needs the Goon docks? Who needs this house? I can't wait to get outta here." Mikey says picking his magazine back up.

"Is that really how you feel?" Brand asked now on the bench press.

"Nah, I was just trying to delate myself. No, no... y'know, um, uh, dictate myself." Awe he's so cute when he can't talk right.

"That's delude yourself, dummy." Brand corrected him.

"That's what I said." He jumps onto Brand's chest, pushing the weights down. "Thanks."

"Aw, its alright I'm gonna miss this place too." Brand says while pushing up on the weights, lifting both them and Mikey.

Someone is knocking at the front door. Brand and Mikey both rush to get up, but Brand picks up Mikey and tosses him to the side.

By the time Mikey and I get down there Brand already knows who it is.

"It's just Mouth." Brand says going over to the armchair, stretching a spring-type chest exerciser. I go over to let Mouth in and then go to the couch with Mikey, I sit on the opposite end.

"Hey guys. What's going down?" Mouth asks putting his foot on the coffee table.

"Get your foot off the table, Mouth." Brand tells him.

"You got it. Hey, what's the matter with you guys? Is this a nuclear Saturday or something? We should be out doing something. We gotta go out with a big bang. Not pouting around like a bunch of babies. If only Brand didn't flunk his drivers test. How'd you manage that?" Mouth asks.
