A/N as promised, here it is! (Btw i thought of writing this as a joke, but i kinda need to get better at writing, so im taking this as practice! So be expecting some author writing skills development ig)

Just when Eddie finished explaining to the rest of the group why he'd be postponing it, the bell rang, signifying that there was only 2 classes left and then we could go home. Well, I wasn't exactly going home.
"Guys, sorry for postponing it, meet at my house at 10:3pm to watch a short film?" Asked Eddie, in compensation.

As Eddie and I walked to class, he said "You don't mind it that at 10pm we watch a short film at my place, don't you? Or do you think we need more time, if you need more time i'll cancel that too."
"No, No, I doubt we'll need that much time, we have plenty" I smiled, god i never had someone care about me so much in the span of a day.
"Good, does your mom let you?" He asked.
"Yeah, yeah of course." I expressed calmly

After the classes finished I waited for Eddie outside of school, he was taking a bit long, but he's always late, right? Right. I started shaking one leg and lit up a cigarette, it had been a while since I last smoked. I opened my eyes only to find Eddie next to me.

"Fuck! Eddie! You scared me!" I screamed-whispered, he chuckled.
"Let's go, ey?" He started walking towards his car and i followed.
We got in his car, it wasn't the nicest car but it was better than mine, so much better. I got in the passenger's seat, then he got in the driver's
"Let me get some of that" He said, grabbing my fag, and took a drag, then he gave it back.
"Thanks!" I smiled.
"Want uh.. want some music?" He asked, "If you wanna look at what i have, they're in that black bag beneath your feet," He added. He started driving off to the nearest location he thought they might be looking for someone.
I went through his cassette tapes, reading off the labels "iron maiden, AC/DC black sabbath, Metallica..." then i saw something that caught my eye. "Violent femmes? You like violent femmes!?" I asked, maybe a little too excited.
"Yeah, don't really listen to them much, but yeah." He answered, "Glad you like 'em."
"God I just like you so much already for the simple reason that you listen to them-" I quickly cut off the sentence and out in the cassette tape. No, I did not like Eddie, not in that way, shit, maybe the thought i was weird? I shouldn't have said that. I mean obviously even if i did feel that way for him, he couldn't have thought that, right? I mean i only knew him for a day, but still, that's just weird shit to say between mates, yeah, mates.... And Eddie was not gay... definitely not.

I didn't expect any kind of response to the thing i just said, i thought he would just maybe brush it off? But he did, he did react, he chuckled.

And that was a relief.

We took turns on the music we decided to put on the car, our taste in music was pretty similar, so it didn't bother me. I noticed the pick he had on his necklace.
"You play guitar? Or maybe someone special plays guitar?~" I teased. He laughed.
"Yeah, I play guitar, and, well, i'm single." He smiled.
"I play the acoustic guitar! And (preffered instrument) too!Well, played the (preffered instrument) I had to sell it, I wanted to sell the guitar, too, but it has some weird shit carved onto it, so nobody wants it..." i laughed.
"Yeah? What stuff does it have carved on it?" He grinned.
"All kinds of stuff! Dicks, dumb-ass quotes, insults, poorly-carved mandalas, and my initial with a plus sign and the initial of all of my ex-bo- i mean, ex-girlfriends, probably some shitty romantic lyrics from the movie grease, y'know? Stuff that middle schoolers and early high schoolers do, i guess." I laughed, remembering the memories.

Eddie and I spent around 3 hours chatting, laughing, and of course looking for jobs and all of them failed, i only had one place to visit, and it was already 9pm. I groaned.
"We've got only one place to visit.. if this doesn't work out i'm getting into sex work!" I joked. Eddie laughed, too. "God i am so tired, i miss where i live, it's hard coming to a brand new city practically alone." I let out.
Eddie stopped the car.
"Here it is, good luck, Y/N, you got this! I'm sure this time will work out fine!" He patted my back. Just as he'd done every single other time.
"Thanks.." I gave him a tired smile

*timeskip*

I walked out skipping like a little kid.
"EDDIE!!" I said walking in "I GOT THE JOB I GOT THE JOB I GOT THE FUCKING JOB!!!!"  Eddie smiled "See? I knew it! I guess Im never wrong." He said, sarcastically proud.
"I guess you never are!" I smiled. "They pay 400 a month, that'll do. If i can get my mom to work at a job paying around 300 a month that'll be great! I work Mondays, Wednesdays and Thursdays, starting in two weeks!" I said excitedly.
"That's great! Let's go to my house! It wont take long until The rest come, too." He said, and i nodded and gave him a thumbs up.
