"I didn't need a hero, Billy." Darian sneers, dusting off his coat, eyes glaring.
Billy only smirks, reaching over and untangling one of Darians dark curls, quickly catching himself, pulling his hand back. "It didn't seem like that a minute ago." B...

Darian entered his car, taking a deep breath before starting the ignition. Nancy left the keys with him. She was going on a ride with Jonathan, he had no clue why but he wasn't going to argue. Before he can pull away from the school, a group of kids slam their grubby hands along his window, startling the shit out of him.
"Fuck." Darian screams, clutching at his chest, his heart pounding. Dustin's face appears at his window. He was saying something, but he couldn't hear him through the window. Darian rolls his eyes and he reaches over, rolling his window down.
"What?" Darian asks with a small sneer. "Can you give us a ride home?" Dustin asks, Lucas shoves his face into view, widening his eyes, making himself look vulnerable to get into Darian's heart. "Please." Lucas asks, pouting. Darian looks at him deadpanned. "You guys are shitting me right?" Darian asks
"Come on, we wouldn't ask, Will was stuck in some sort of trance and we are shaken, too shaken to walk home." Mike states, pushing himself into view as well. "Come on, I'm your brother." Mike begs "Is that supposed to mean something to me?" Darian asks, lifting a condescending eyebrow.
Mike scoffs, moving away. "Asshole."
Darian smirks. "Where are your bikes?" Darian asks "There at Will's, Jonathan took us to school. Please, Darian, you know you're like family to me." Dustin teases
Darian chuckles, he then nods to Max, who was quiet the whole time. "What about her, I don't know where she lives and I'm just a stranger to her." Darian says
Lucas shrugs. "She's cool, anyways her brother ditched her." Lucas says
Darian sighs. "Fine, get in." Darian states
....
Darian wished he could say the car ride was quiet, but that was wishful thinking. Not a single one of them could stay quiet even if their life depended on it. Dustin was the first to be dropped off. He pouted the whole way out. Lucas was next. He flipped him off, making Darian chuckle when Erica screeched out at him.
The sassy kid threatened to tell their mom. Lucas only flushed in embarrassment.
When they pulled up to the house, Mike looked at his brother confused. "Why are you dropping me off next, we live in the same house." Mike says
