One night

Chapter 2: Pinball

A week has passed since Y/N's tragic first day of school, it's a gloomy Monday and school had just let out. Y/n decided to start a job at an Arcade store, why not have something to do rather than school in this small fucking town?
Her and Robin had become pretty good friends almost instantly and he introduced her to one of his friends, Finnley. Finn was nice but pretty shy and he was pretty conserved, which was fine, Y/n didn't mind.
Robin walked her halfway to her job before he had to go down a separate road, they side-hugged and said bye. Y/n kept walking to the store, when she got there she put her backpack behind the counter and slipped on her uniform shirt, the other employee started her break and kids from the school started filling the store up. Every time the door opened it made an annoying bell sound that made Y/n look up subconsciously, she would look at the people who had entered, then look back down at her book. About an hour into her shift the bell rang once again and she looked up then looked back down, but then her brain registered who had walked in and she did a double take. Vance. He was so hot, Y/n found herself making eye contact multiple times through classes with him. Every single time, he gave this stupid hot signature smirk that made her blush and break eye contact first. He knew exactly what he was doing, but refused to make a move, how annoying.
Vance walked to the pinball machine and shoved some guy away from it, the guy got all pissed but as soon as he saw who had shoved him, he shut up and moved onto a different game. Y/n laughed at herself, she had a crush on a complete jackass, she was surprised at her own stupidity. Actually no, it wasn't a crush, she refuses to have a crush on an asshole. Vance would sit there for hours playing that same game, every time he lost he'd get annoyed and hit the side of the game, it made Y/n jump every time too.
Near the end of her shift, Robin walked into the store and leaned against the counter, her and him started talking. Y/n glanced behind Robin and saw Vance had stopped his game to stare at her. He never stopped his game for anything, she had noticed that before when multiple of his friends tried talking to him and he yelled at them to shut up, but he had stopped mid game to stare at her. He obviously lost and his friend who was standing next to the game was looking very surprised and confused. Y/n tried to ignore it and went back to conversing with Robin, he started joking about their 5th period and she was laughing. Honestly this past week was better than Y/n thought it would be, Robin was really funny and nice, she's glad they met.
Vance started walking towards them and Y/n invited Robin to stand behind the desk with her, "Are you allowed to do that?" Robin laughed slightly, "Probably not, but we close in 30 so who cares?" Robin nodded and walked behind the desk, He sat down in the stool next to Y/n and she stayed standing. Vance hesitated before continuing walking, but he made an abrupt turn and started talking to a random girl. Weird, it was like he made a last minute change in plans.
Y/n guessed they were friends because the girl was giggling, Vance looked pretty unhappy though. And, he kept looking at Y/n.

Y/n continued to try to ignore him and kept talking with Robin, someone walked up to the desk and bought a few things with their tickets, after the transaction was complete there was only about 15 minutes left before the arcade shut down for the night and Y/n put her elbow on the counter and leaned against it. She glanced at Vance who was already staring at her, his little girlfriend or whatever they were, was practically begging for him to look at her and was very obviously annoyed that he wasn't paying attention to her, I quickly looked back at Robin who was talking about a recent test he had taken, which he said he totally bombed and that it was most definitely the teachers fault.
Robin kept trying to tuck a piece of his hair back under his bandana but couldn't see what he was doing so Y/n stepped forward to help him, she was standing in between his legs and pulled up on his bandanna to tuck the piece of hair back, Robin had placed his hands on the back of her thighs. Y/n felt blush creeping up her cheeks but quickly dismissed it and put her hands on his shoulders, "There you go, perfect and pretty again." They both laughed and Y/n stepped back to where she was before, Robins hands dropping. Vance was burning holes into the side of Y/n's head, but she refused to look at him.
