Summer had started and I was relaxing by the pool with my mom and her friends. She says she likes to come down the pool to sunbathe but really it's just to eye up Billy Hargrove. She'd always encourage me to go swim as it was ''the best way to loose weight'' thought personally I don't think I need to loose any.  We had just been on a family vacation to Hawaii which sounds fun but really it was mom and dad doing their own thing most of the time while me and Steve hung around the pool of the hotel. 

''Y/n sweetie, your dad and I will be going to Italy tomorrow so Steve will be in charge'' Mom said while flicking through her magazine. 

I nodded and got up from the sun lounger. I walked over to the changing rooms and called Steve to pick me up and got changed as I was getting quite bored. Mom and dad often go away, I feel like I don't really see them much anymore. 

''Hurry I can't park here!'' Steve shouted as I quickly got into the car.

''Sorry, also did you know mom and dad are going away tomorrow?'' I asked.

''Yeah, dad told me this morning. I'm going to have a party tomorrow,  invite some friends if you want'' 

''Cool, I'll ask''

''I'm going to stop off here to get something for dinner, I'll be two minutes'' Steve said pulling in to the store carpark and getting out.

I sat in the car waiting for Steve to get back when someone walked past who I recognised from school. I'd never spoke to him before but I always noticed the bats he had tattooed on his arm which were cool but I could never get a tattoo myself, my mom and dad would kill me. He looked at me and smiled as he walked by which I returned. 

''Who's that?'' I asked Steve as he got back in the car.

''Eddie Munson, why?'' he asked.

''Just wondering'' 

When we got home mom and dad weren't there so we ate nachos by the pool and I called a few of my friends to invite them to the party tomorrow. Steve threw his scoops hat on the bench and we chilled in the living area.

''You invited Nancy?'' Steve asked. Although Steve and Nancy weren't together anymore he still had a thing for her.

''Nancy? Johnathon's Nancy?'' I joked.

''Yeah, yeah Jonathon blahddy blah'' he says throwing a cushion off me which I threw back.

''Don't ruin it for her Steve, she looks happy.''

''I wouldn't, I'm glad she's happy''

''Yeah you look it'' I say rolling my eyes, knowing he would adore to be Nancy's again. I looked back over at him and he didn't find it funny. ''I'm sorry Steve, I didn't-''

''It's fine Y/n'' he interrupted, ''Want a beer?'' he asked getting one out the fridge for himself.

''You know mom and dad would kill me if they walked in and saw me with that'' I said.

''Fair enough'' he said shutting the fridge door and going back to sitting on the sofa.

The rest of the night we chilled watching TV until mom and dad came home and we went upstairs to sleep.



Such a short chapter I know but longer ones will be coming!
