‼️VERY LONG CHAPTER‼️

It was 3 hours into the ride and they will be arriving at the carnival in 20 more minutes. Bruce was asleep on Vance's shoulder, Billy was asleep drooling, Finney was asleep on Robin's shoulder, Griffin was looking out the window pretending to be in a music video, and Vance and Robin was just talking about random shit. "I'm surprised how you kids aren't sleep yet. It's been 3 hours." Vance stepdad says chuckling. "I can't sleep Vance's dad! I have so much energy. Robin says with a huge grin on his face. "I'm actually im Vance's dad. He's the stepdad." Vance dad rolls his eyes. "Same thing." Robin says with a little bit of attitude. Vance mom smirks at Robin's attitude towards him. Vance's mom knows that Robin knows that he isn't a good guy. "Vance dad then looks back on the road taking a sip of liquid out of his brown bag. "What's in the bag?" Vance's stepdad says picking at the bag. Vance dad chuckles. If I say the woman might go crazy. Vance's mom snaps her neck to face his way. "What do you mean i'll go crazy? Are you drinking?" Vance mom says with a little bit of worry. While Vance mom and dad was fighting infront, Robin and Vance was arguing about whos better at baseball, Finney or Bruce. Griffin rolls his eyes. "Okay I get it your both gay now shut up. Griffin says rolling his eyes. "Yeah shut up Robin." Vance slaps his hand. "Aye! If anyone's gay it's you." Robin says slapping Vance's hand back. "Are you seriously trying to challenge me to a game of chicken right now?" Vance smirks. "If she shoe fits." Robin says. "There will be no slapping eachother. You are both childish." Bruce says stretching his arms. "Well your boyfriend started i." Robin says crossing his arms. Bruce face turns so red it looks like a tomato. "Me and Vance aren't dating I have no idea what your talking about how are we even supposed to be dating if we haven't kissed yet and if we haven't kissed we aren't dating why would I date Vance anyways that silly of me. Bruce says really fast. Robin, Griffin, and Vance all looks at him confused. "Anyways.. I can start to see the carnival!" Griffin says pointing out the window. They all start looking out the window and is in awestruck. The colors were bright red, yellow, blue and a light shade of purple. "We should all go on the bumper carts first!" Griffin says. "What, no! We should all do that punching thing to see who's the strongest." Robin says cracking his knuckles. "I kinda agree with Griffin here. Bumper carts sounds so fun!" Bruce says. Robin groans and rolls his eyes. "You guys are lame."

(Vance's pov)

I was really exited for the carnival that my legs starting bouncing up and down. I look out the window once more to see that we're getting closer to it. "Alright guys. I just have to find a parking spot and then BOOM. We can start having fun!" Dad says taking another sip out of the liquid. I wonder what's in the bag that he's drinking so much. He's been drinking it ever since he came to the house. I'll ask him when we get out of the car. "Are you exited Vance?" Bruce says turning his head towards me. I nod my head multiple times in reply. Bruce just smiles at me placing his hand on top on mines. I turn my hand over so Bruce could hold it instead of letting it lay there. Bruce looks at my with a small hint of pink on his face before turning the opposite direction. He hola my hand as he finishes his conversation with Robin. I'm pretty sure Griffin saw this because he kept on making kissing faces towards me. I roll my eyes in return to him. "Finney, Billy. Wake up." Robin says shaking the both of them. Billy then jolts up, "Are we here yet?" He says still clearly out of it. Robin and Griffin let's out a laugh. "Yeah we're here Bill." Griffin says looking back out the window. "I'm so excited!" Finney says shaking his hands. Suddenly, the car stops which means we could get out. Me and Finney both was the first to exit the car pushing everyone out of the way. "Woah." Finney says looking up at the carnival. The first thing we saw was a huge red Ferris wheel. The rest of the comes running out of the car looking at the ferris wheel also. "Thats ginormous." Griffin says his jaw dropping to the floor. "Okay so i'll give you each money so you can go have fun, okay?" My stepdad says taking out his wallet. "Nono, I got it davey." My dad says pushing him to the side. My dad then each hand us $200. "Spend it wisely. And have fun." My dad says flicking his hair. "Thanks dad.". I say smiling. "Your welcome. And how could I forget. Your birthday present." My dad says. I was invested to see what my dad got me. He then hands me a white bag. It looked like a trash bag almost. I look inside to see vodka inside of it. I was about to say something but was dragged away by Bruce and the gang. I look back to see my mom already yelling at him. If I was being honest, I didn't really want Vodka. I wanted an actual gift like maybe a teddy bear or some shit. Not Vodka. I am underaged so I don't understand where he was going with this. "What did your dad got you? Bruce says about to grab the bag. I hurriedly move the bag away from Bruce. "Just some dumb clothes." I say. "Ohhhh." Bruce says still trying to peak inside of the bag. "Come on guys, we have to get to the bumper carts." Griffin says sprinting away from us. Finney and Bruce starts chasing after Griffin. "We have to stick together or else we'll get lost!" Bruce says yelling at Griffin. Billy starts chasing after Griffin after Bruce and Finney starts running out of breath. "I don't understand how they could run of breath when they play baseball." Robin says. "They're probably still tired from that 3 hour long car ride." I say laughing. "Yeah probably." Robin says trailing his eyes on the bag. "He didn't give you clothes did you." Robin raises an eyebrow.It doesn't really matter." I mutter under my breath. "If it didn't matter you would have showed Bruce." Robin was right. I wish I was as good liar like Finney. He can lie until the end of the world. Like when he lied about not having a twin, I thought he was being serious. Turns out he wasn't. He has a twin sister named Gwen and she is just like him, just more chaotic. "I found the bumper carts!" Griffin says jumping up and down really high that I bet even Finney could see him, and he's 5'2. Robin looks at me and then smirks. "Robin.." But I was too late. Robin started sprinting towards Griffin and I would never lose a race to Robin Arellano. So I start sprinting 10x the amount of speed to Griffin. I was a little out of breath and chest was starting to hurt a bit. But I can deal with it. "Careful Vance. You can't mess up your perfect outfit." Bruce says fixing up my sweaters. "Aw, couple goals." Finney says making a baby voice. "I will smash your head into the concrete Finney." I say. "Enough guys. Hurry up and pay the man so we can go on the bumpers!" Griffin says jumping in excitement. "Calm down Griffin. Your going to waste all of your energy on jumping." Billy says settling Griffin down. "Okay so how much of you guys will be entering the bumper car ride?" The worker says. "Six of us!" Finney says to the worker. "Okay so that'll be $10 each." We all hand the worker the money and hop inside of the cars. I sat by Bruce (obviously) Robin sat by Finney, and Billy and Griffin say by each other. "I fee like we should specifically target Robin and Finney just to make them mad." Bruce says staring Finney dead in the eye. "I wish you would try something Bruce." Finney says staring back at Bruce. The worker then turns on the ride and that's where the fun starts. As soon as the carts turned on, Bruce started going full speed at Robin's and Finney cart which causes me to fall back. "Fuck off Yamada!" Finney says charging back at us. I look behind me to see Griffin and Billy taking pictures together. Typically couple goals. I roll my eyes and then feels a big bump to me which causes my chest to hit a part of the bumper cart. Finney and Bruce was going at it and is putting me and Robin in pain. "Okay baby we get it relax." Robin says trying to turn the wheel away from us. "No way i'm going to hurt Bruce in every way possible." I don't think i've ever seen Finney this invested into something that's not baseball. It was pretty scary not gonna lie. Finney was about to charge at us so I steal the wheel away from Bruce driving us away which causes us to crash into Billy and Griffin. Griffin lets out a little girl scream which causes Bruce to burst into laughter. That laughter soon turned into a scream because Finney had crashed behind us causing Bruce to scream like a little girl. "WAIT, I need to take a photo of this." Bruce says pulling out his phone taking a photo. Bruce tries to take a photo but Billy and Griffin bumps us back.
