chapter 4

You wait next to some random door for him to come back. You peek in and see people. A kid notices you and you wave. She waved back you duck down when her teacher asks who's shes waving too. You then scoot away and crawl to another door. But before you can you find a water fountain. You take a sip and find that the waters warm. You can feel some kid looking at you. You turn around and low and behold theirs a child. "Sup" you say with a smile. You move out the way so he can use it. He has short brown hair, he looks like hes 13 or something. Still he hasnt spoken a word to you "you good bro? That's a long drink" the amount of water hes drinking is concerning. He starts coughing and stops using the fountain. "Yeah uh sorry." He seems very awkward. " you drink like a dog" you tell him. "Actually what's ur name little dude" you swipe your hands through your hair. "I'm finney blake" he gives an awkward smile. "Omg like the fish finns" you smile. Its dumb to smile at but with the way he drinks and his name he was a literal fish. "Anyways um I'm going to class. Bye random dude" he walks off to a random class. You still wait on vance and hes taking forever. You start looking through random classes to find him. Occasionally a teacher will ask who are you, you pretend to be an older sibling of someone. It worked most of the time, other times they yelled at you. Some teachers are so very rude to people they dont know.

After what felt like years finally you see vance. Hes with that one finney dude and some other kid. "You're friends with 12 year olds? Creepy" you scrunch your nose. "They're 13. And they're gonna get us into a movie tonight" he keeps walking with them. "If its tonight why are we leaving now" you cant tell if hes dumb or has a plan. "Don't question me." You roll your eyes and follow after him. Both of this kids have their own bikes. But you and vance have to share. "Dont you have a car or something" you tell him. He shakes his head and keeps peddling. You dont even know where the hell you guys are gone. Its sunny out and you see a girl walking througha tree lined street. She looks up at the trees. Gaps of sunlight like spotty dashes of color are seen on her skin. She walks faster not seeming to be in a good mood. You all arrive at a store. The grab n go where you and vance met. Maybe if you could youd redo that moment. So that the first time you both met wasnt because of a fight.

You guys walk inside, a gust of cool air hits you. Along with the smell of sugary drinks and teenage angst. This is the most perfect store ever. Vance walks around a corner and finney grabs a basket. They start randomly grabbing things and throwing it in. "Wait who's paying I'm confused" you stare at them and they stared at you. "Didnt you tell him" the boy with a bandanna says. "Oh shit am I paying" vance scoffs and tells you to just out stuff in the bag. You assume hes paying. You grab some chips and some drinks. You also add a pudding cup in. Now that you thought about it, no one was even in here. You look around and just as you think vance is gonna pay. He walks straight out the door, your heart drops. They leave as though it's not even a big deal. Since you dont wanna get caught you just walk out in shame. You hide your face "what the fuck vance" out of everything in your life, you didnt wanna go to jail over stealing. "Shut the fuck up and hurry up before he comes out". You glare at him and get on the bike. When you sit down someone comes yelling at you guys. Vance takes off and the old man chases you guys for a while. When he runs out of breath you start laughing. It was kinds fun, doing things that everyone says is wrong. To be actually free to do whatever you want.

You hold onto him, your arms wrap around his waist. His back stiffens up a bit, and you smile at him. You guys end up at the bandana kids house. "Where the hell are we" you get off the bike. "My house" the kid says. "And you are?" you realize that it sounds kinda rude to say. "I'm robin" why does everyone remind you of animals. "Omg like the bird. Tweet tweet" you smile at him. "Sure" he leads you 3 inside and you meet his mom. Goddamn his mom is fine. You're very awkward and just let people drag you along. Robin brings out a small list from under his bed. It's a list of movies that you can see tonight. Theirs a short list

Grease
Halloween
Jaws
The sister of Ursula
Pretty baby
Slave of the cannibal god
Texas chainsaw massacre
Behind convent walls

They all look and seem pretty interesting. "We should watch grease" you say and smile. You get a weird look from everyone. "What" you say and cross your arms. "That's a girl movie dude" Robin says. "I do not care. Can we please watch grease" Vance rubs his temples and sighs. "What about jaws" he says pointing at it. "I was thinking texas chainsaw massacre" robin says with a smile. "Yeah I wanna watch it with you" finney smiles at him. They look at you for a yes "whatever" you say and roll your eyes. You wanted to watch grease. Your mom said it was good. You lay down and stare at the ceiling. It looks like popcorn you just stare off. You end up zoning out and your mind wanders. You think about vance and how nice his arms look when hes gripping onto your bikes handle bars. The way his hair sways in the wind. He makes your heart skips beats and your stomach twist. Is this how all friends are? You've never felt this way for a friend before. Maybe this time is different. "Robin your moms hot" you tell him still staring up. He hits you with a pillow and yells at you. "That's my fucking mom dude!" You laugh as he attacks you with a pillow. Finney joins in and you end up getting teamed up on. You grab a pillow and hit vance on the head with it. Vance stands up towering over you trying to appear intimidating. He grabs finneys pillow and starts beating you with it. You're getting beat with pillows by 3 people. You try to hit them as much as you can. Vance's face has a sweet and sincere smile on it. His once angry glare was softened. The other boys are laughing and hitting eachother.

It was nice to have friends.
