By the time it got to science class I was drained even if it was an easy day for me, I just wanted to go home and take a nap before beating Vance ass at pinball.

"(y/n) wake up" Finn said, nudging my side. I lifted my head off the desk looking at him like how dare you disturb my peaceful nap. He turned back looking up at the chalkboard full of a list that the teacher needed us to do while he was tapping his rocket flashlight against the desk. I took one quick glance at the board laying my head back down taking a nap further. Soon the bell rang as I grabbed my bag looking over to Finn.

"Finn, do you know where Robin will be?"

"He might be in English"

"Thanks" I said walking off. I didn't feel like going to gym and Robin was always up to skip any class he could unless he was failing that class. People were pushing their ways through the hallway trying to make it to their last class of the day. I pushed my way through the crowd stopping in front of his English class waiting for him.

"Hi (y/n)" Robin said, stopping right in front of me. "What's your little plan today?"

"Want to skip class?"

"Hell yeah"

"Good" I whispered, grabbing his hand in mine rushing off. We had to be quick before a teacher would catch us as I took the lead looking around for any great spot to hide out. Robin took my hand leading me off to the boys bathroom pushing me inside.

"No teacher comes by here so will be safe"

"Good idea" I said, dropping my bag to the floor and kicking it to a corner. Robin went to the sink running his hand under the cold water washing away a bit of blood that was pooling out from his knuckles. "Need help?"

"Yeah a little" he said, still running his hand under the water. I took some paper towels holding out my hand as he set his injured hand in my touch while I wiped off the water.

"I'm surprise moose decided to pick a fight with you"

"Me too" he said, watching me. I put the paper towel around his injury letting him do the rest.

"Do you think he'll pick another fight with you?"

"Probably"

"I want front row seats for the fight then" I said, making us both burst out laughing. Robin kept fixing his wound wrapping it up in a makeshift bandage.

"Hey (y/n) would you like to go to the drive-in on Saturday?"

"yeah, they're playing Texas chainsaw massacre again?"

"You know it" he said with a smirk plastered on his face. I flashed him back a smile deep down. I couldn't get rid of the thought from last time we were both at the drive through the first time we talked. We kept talking about other things for a little bit until the bell rang. Finally, school was done. I got up from the floor grabbing my bag about to walk out with Robin. Suddenly Finn came bursting through the door running to a stall not noticing me and Robin and soon we found out why when the trio Buzz, Matt and Matty came in. they turned their heads looking right at me and Robin. A thought all swirling in their mind.

"I told you if you fuck with Finn again, I fuck with you" Robin said to them. They turned on their heels walking out the bathroom as Finn poke his head out.

"Thanks" he said to Robin. I couldn't stay around for long as I left them both by themselves walking back home falling on the couch for a quick power nap.

I woke up around seven o'clock with my brother tugging on my hair trying to get my attention as he pointed to the kitchen whining a little. I got up picking him up, setting him down in his highchair while I searched the cupboard, pulling out some fruit snacks, handing it over to him, walking back into the living room, dropping to the couch, and turning on the tv, wasting the rest of my hour watching some show. I got back up grabbing a slip of paper pulling out a pen writing down a note for my mom.

I'll be at the grab and go. I won't stay out too late, love you mom.

I gave my brother a kiss on the forehead rushing out the front door, the night cold air greeting me wrapping around my skin. I took off running down the street not noticing the black van quickly driving away to not get caught by the young girl.

Vance was already standing next to the pinball machine when I got inside. It again wasn't busy like last time beside the middle-aged women who was working in the back.

"Ready to play?" Vance asked pulling out two quarters, one for me and one for him. I nodded my head snatching the quarter from his grasp as he rolled his eyes taking the first go popping his quarter in. I was leaning against the machine watching what he did as a ding kept filling my ears from every point he hit until the ball dropped down then it was my turn. I took a glance at his score. 7,000.

 I pushed the quarter in laying my hands over the buttons watching the ball drop as I pushed the button focused wherever the ball went. The ball suddenly got stuck as I bump into the machine letting the ball drop. I took a look at my score. 5,000. I didn't mind it unlike Vance who was cheering himself on for winning.

"FUCK YEAH!" he shouted. I shook my head walking to the door heading back home greeted by an empty silence once I entered as I snuck back into my room dropping to the bed curling up.
