|Hanging Out|

I arrive home. As silent as a mouse I sneak into the living room full of dustins friends.

"Uh. Hey?" I stutter confusingly.

They all look at me weirdly. Dustin crashes in with his weird little box that he never lets me go near. He looks at me weirdly Aswell.

"Do I have something on my face or something?" I blurted.

They all shake their heads signaling a no. I take a long stride of a slow walk not taking my eyes off them. I get into the hallway and continue walking to my room to find Steve coming out of the hallway bathroom.

I gasp.

"Oh My God! You need to actually stop coming out of nowhere." Still looking scared as.

"I can't help it! Always in the same place at the same time I guess" He smiled.

He was 4 inches taller than me. He was arching over me looking down at me. I have already had enough socialization today so i open my door and go to start cleaning my room.

He follows me in.

"That little rat has been in my room!" I moan.

"Or do you just not clean your room?" Teasing me.

"What does it look like I'm doing right now..." Teasing him back.

Dustin yells causing me shout back at him to shut up.

Steve smiles and walks away. Why are people talking from school talking to me?

Of Course, when there's 1 more day of summer, I actually get friends...

|Time Skip to Sunday 10am|

I stretch my body like a starfish. I was so comfy yet i was so excited for today i didn't want to get out of bed. I wake up to a message from Dustin and a message from Steve.

"Can you drop me off at Star court at lunch pleaseeeee?"-Dusty buns

"Fine Be ready in the kitchen at 12"

|New Chat|

"So, are you still free to do something today?" - Steve

"Yeah, I have to drop Dustin at star court at lunch so maybe i could meet you at scoops again and go from there?" I reply.

I force myself out of bed and droop to the kitchen seeing mom making sure the house was clean before we go back to school which is something she always did. No clue. she just loves to clean.

PING!

|Message from Steve|

"Alright, I'll meet you there captain."- Steve

I smile gently at the small message.

"Who's this making you smile like that?" Mom seemed intrigued.

"It's just Steve, I'm meeting him when I drop Dustin off at the mall" I said as i grab some orange juice and head back into my room to get ready.

I put on some shorts a checkered short-sleeve top and a GAP jacket on top with the usual converse. I left my hair down for a change since I couldn't be bothered.

"DUSTINN!" I scream down the hall.

"Coming!!" He comes running with some funky sunglasses on.

We say goodbye to our mom and head down to the car.

"So, are you going to tell me why everyone was staring at me when i came home from work?" i ask while buckling myself in.

He pulls his unique but funny laugh.
