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

SIX - Maybe I Don't

Y/N's POV:

I walked home from school today with Finney and Gwen again. Luckily it's a Friday so I don't have school tomorrow.
"Hey Finney, I'm going over to Susie's house! So can you watch Dad?"
"Yeah I'll watch Dad." Finney and Gwenny converse before Gwen turns to a different route.
"So, you and Donna a thing yet?" I smile to myself.
"What? No!" He says blushing. "You guys should be. She totally likes you!" I respond.
"You think?"
"Hell yeah, I think she really likes you Finney, you should go for it!" I reassure him.
He smiles as we approach our houses. "Bye y/n!"
"Bye Finney!"

I go into the house and grab a cup of water.
I go to make a sandwich but we are out of all the meat you would use for one.
Maybe I'll try the corner store to see if I'll be allowed back in?

I walk to the corner store a little worried for being such an asshole last time. My emotions tend to blow up first, and regret it later.
I pull open the door and the clerk makes eye contact with me and lifts an eyebrow.
I walk up to her as friendly as I can be.
"Hello, I'm really sorry for last time I was here, I was super angry and took it out on some fuckin iced tea" I say apologetically. She smiles while looking surprised and starts to talk.
"It's okay, but don't ever do it again! My son has the same problem."
Problem? What fucking problem would I have?!

"What do you mean?" I say raising my voice a little.
Before I had a chance to pick an argument, I get interrupted by someone in the store.

"FUCKING HELL!"
I turn around to see Vance at the pinball machine. Where I first met him.
I waltz over to the machine and stand beside him.
"Whatcha doing?" I asked him.
"What?! I'm obviously!-" He cuts himself off when he sees me. "Oh hey y/n, it's just this fucking damn machine is so fucki-" He gets agitated again and just keeps going round and round on a roller coaster of trying to be chill and getting pissed off while talking.

I laugh a little at him. He can be scary when he's mad but he looks damn cute today.

"What?" He looks at me. "Nothing, nothing at all." I smile. "Where do you find some ham? I need some for a sandwich." I ask him, sounding a little bit complainy since I'm hungry.
"Why don't you just buy a whole sandwich pre-made here?"
"Because Vance Hopper, nobody makes a sandwich like me, not even the corner store! You'll learn that one day."
He chuckles at me. "Yeah right."

"Wanna have some iced tea with me outside? This place may have some bad sandwiches but their iced tea is heavenly" I ask him hoping I didn't embarrass myself when he says no.

"Yeah sure." He responds. I mean at least he didn't say no.

I pay and he opens the door for me.
He sits down on the seats of the lunch table and I hop on top, where the best seat is, just the whole damn table.
As I'm chatting with Vance I glance up and see a girl, curly black hair, quite pretty, but with not great fashion sense. At least in my opinion.

She's giving me a death stare, I give her one back, my stare was better I can tell. She looks at Vance and raises an eyebrow at me. With a flicker of jealousy.
Ohhhh I see, this bitch wants Vance.

"Who's the curly bitch?" Vance asks breaking my trance. "Oh I don't know, but I don't think she likes me very much."
"She probably is looking at me, some people don't like me." He says.
"No no trust me she likes you, that's why she hates me." I respond, laughing a little bit.

He laughs too, catching me a bit by surprise. Although, he's been full of surprises this week.

I thought I was gonna hate him. But then again, maybe I don't.

>>>>>>

I was back home now, going through VHS tapes to see what movies my dad has.

My dad just loves movies, especially scary ones. He says he likes movies that make you feel something. But not movies that make you depressed, angry or horny, but movies that make you tuck your feet under the blankets for a couple nights. So basically he only likes horror.
Which is alright by me.

I decide that I will pop in a movie, specifically Texas Chainsaw Massacre because I fell asleep half way through it at Robins house.
It starts to rain and the atmosphere is amazing. I'm not exactly sure where my dad is but I'm sure he's just at a buddy's house.
I hear someone knock on the door expecting my father. But when I open the door, it's Vance motherfuckin Hopper.

"Well isn't that a pleasant surprise!" He says.
Why would he say that? He clearly knows that I'm gonna be here?

"Huh what's a pleasant surprise?"
He glanced down at my outfit really quickly.
Wait shit shit shit
I'm only wearing jean shorts and a short crop top that is basically a bra, that's why it's my home-alone movie shirt.

"Damnit" I groan. "Wanna come in?" I ask him since he is standing in the rain. "Of course." He walks and takes off his shoes.
He looks at the TV, "huh didn't take you as a horror person y/n!" He says.
"You should see my room!" My room has tons of horror posters, ones that my Dad would torture me with as a kid that I do love now.

"So what are you doing here?" I ask Vance.

He just looks at me blankly like he's lost for words.

"Vance? Hellooo" I say waving my hand in his face.
He grabs my hand and pins it to the wall.
Without thinking, I'm the one that kissed him first.
