Chapter 16

~chapter 16 : accusations~

~Y/N's pov~

It's been a week since me and B/N were at Dees house. From that day on, Heavy has been hanging out with us at school and he has officially joined our friend group.

I think it annoys Dee, but it's nice to have two sibling dynamics in our group instead of just me and B/N.

The metals have invited us over for some poker, and I've got to say, I do like a bit of poker. Father is a deceiving man, so it used to bring me much joy when I'd beat him at a game of 7-Card Stud. I've had lots of practice, just so that I can see that distraught look on the sly man's face, but obviously, we haven't done that in a while.

I'm very excited, I just need to remember not to be too competitive. I've always been competitive at poker, because of my father, but this time, it's nothing to do with him.

Me and B/N are walking to their house now. I have my violin case with me, because I have an assessment afterwards. It's stressing me out, because if I'm not the best, father will be disappointed and punish me.

It's okay though, I just need to keep my mind off it. I'm sure playing poker will do the trick.

B/N knocks on their door, but no one answers.

"Maybe it wasn't loud enough," I say to B/N and he nods.

I prepare to knock again, but someone appears behind us. We both notice the shadow and turn around.

"Are you guys Dee and Heavy's friends?" He says while breathing out an enormous amount of smoke.

He has long, brown hair, and a light beard. He is wearing a gray shirt, a plaid jacket and jeans. Some accessories he has are a necklace, wrist warmers and piercings in the lobe of his ears. He also grasps a cigarette in between his two fingers.

"Um yeah, who are you?" B/N states, looking up at the man.

"You can call me chive and I'm a family friend. Glam told me you guys would be playing poker with us." Chive explains.

"Oh right, are they in? They won't answer the door," I asked

"Then just use the window dudes," He said "I do it all the time. I'm sure they won't mind."

He smiles at us and gestures to the window on our left, but he notices an old lady down the street and starts walking away.

"I'll catch you guys later," he says, lifting his hands to finger-gun us.

"Hey, but-!" I start, but he's already leaving.

"I guess we take the window...?" B/N resorts, giving me an unsure smile.

"...right..."

~Later~

We had to explain why we entered the house through the window to the metals. They weren't surprised when they found out chive was involved.

"Oh come the fuck on, where the-. Ah here, found it," Vicky says from another room before joining us at the table.

She slams down a box of poker chips, a deck of cards and a small purple book of rules.

"Let's go over the rules of poker my fellow degenerates!" She smirks.

"Umm... whoever wins gets...umm," Heavy begins, while scratching the back of his neck.

However, Dee interrupts him "we're playing with you Heavy, we repay our losses with hard labour."

Heavy just tilts his head, still confused.
