Take a Picture, it'll last longer- Vance Hopper

FIVE - Pretty Girl

"Vance what the- get off me!"  I say struggling.

"Maybe if I carve my name into your arm, you won't be hanging out with Robin so much, yeah?" He responds.

"Vance! Get off of her man!" One of Vance's friends say. "Hmph, your lucky I won't hurt a girl." He says getting up. A girl with blonde hair walks by. "Um you've hurt me before!" She says quickly.

He looks back down at me.
"I won't hurt a pretty girl."
He walks off and the blonde girl looks defeated.

I get up and scratch my head.
"What the fuck are you guys looking at?!" I shout at everyone and proceed to punch my locker very hard. My knuckles start to lightly bleed and everyone walks away fast.

>>>> (lunchtime)

I sit down with Finney and Robin. They both look so tired. Probably from our accidental sleepover.
"Who's parents are gonna kill them when they get home?" Robin says. We all proceed to raise our hands.
"I haven't seen or contacted my Dad in over a day, he's gonna murder me." I say. Finney nods, "Amen."

"Hey can I talk to you?"
I look over and fucking Vance is tryna talk to me right now?
Robin stands up and is about to start yelling at him but I stop him.
"It's fine. I'll be back in a second." I say and Robin sits back down and Finney is wide-eyed and speechless.

I walk off with Vance and we go to the hallway. It's fully empty.
"I'm really fuckin sorry y/n." He says quietly.
"I let my anger get the best of me, like always." He says. He looks genuinely sorry.
He looks down at my knuckles and see they have bandages. "Holy shit. I didn't do that did I?" He says grabbing my hand. "No no, I uh punched a locker." I say quickly.
"I'm so so sorry." He says. "It's okay. Anger is hard to control. I understand." I say and walk back into the lunch cafeteria, leaving him standing in the hall.

"What happened?!" Finney says when I sit down.
"He apologized, but like an actual apology."
Robin scoffs and keeps eating.
"What?" I ask Robin. "I just think he doesn't mean it. Vance is manipulative y/n." He says.
"Your right." I say. But did I mean it? Maybe not.

The bell rings and we all stand up and go to class.
"Alright today we are going to be dissecting frogs."
The whole class groans. "Alright everyone pair up!"
Robin walks up to me. "Partners?" He asks. "What about Finney?" I ask. "He looks fine to me!" I glance back at Finney and he's got his crush, Donna, with him.
"Oh hell yeah! Go Finney!" I say.

"I would fist bump you but that would fucking hurt a bit." He chuckled. I glance down and remember we both got bandaged knuckles. "Yeah might hurt a little bit" I laugh.

"Do you have a crush on Vance?" Robin asks me.
"What? No, maybe? I don't know." I say.
"Well if you do, you might wanna take my shirt off" He smirks at me. I laugh. "Man don't even i wasn't going to walk in today wearing a shirt stained with coke or no shirt at all!" I laugh.
