AUGUST 25TH 1979
LUCY'S POV

I was passed out on my back till cold immediately hit my face. "OH MY GOD" it shocked me and I was now wide awake "JAMIE WHAT THE HELL" she was laughing "oh.. sorry whew you just wouldn't wake up!" I rolled my eyes "now I have to change" I said annoyed. "Well you better hurry the game starts in 20" she said grinning from ear to ear.

"Oh my god hurry up" Jamie said sitting on my bed as I pulled my shirt over my head. "Oh calm your tits it's only been 2 minutes" I said as I get my jacket on. " Molly hurry up we have to go" I shouted at the end of the stairs getting my shoes on. She came running down, got her shoes on and we left.

‹·~·~·›

As we got there Jamie started to fix her hair up and Finney came jogging over. Molly ran up to Gwen and Finney finally reached us. "Hey Jamie, uh h-hi Lucy" i could tell he was scared of me by the way his shoulders tensed up when he saw me. "Sup" Jamie hit my side for my response. "Ow what was that for" she rolled her eyes. Even though our siblings were close I never really met Finney. Mainly he was to scared to be anywhere near me, he's always avoided me every time I would go over to his house to pick up Molly. Finney and Jamie started to talk and I walked over to the bleachers. Soon the game started.

I turn to Jamie "I don't get any of this what the fuck is going on" as she starts to explain what's going on someone sits down next to me " so when the pitcher ge-" Jamie stopped mid sentence and her jaw drops. I turn the direction that she's looking in and I see Vance fucking Hopper my blood starts to boil "what the fuck are you doing here?" I said pissed "that's a stupid fucking question to watch a game what else would I be doing here dumbass" he said cockishly. " I swear to God if you don't get the hell away from me I'm going to beat the shit out of you" I said bitterly.

" Oh really? Like you did today right? " 'god this man gets on my fucking nerves' " I was high and you knew that" Jamie then stepped in" hey c'mon you guys don't fight I don't want to get banned from here" she then moved in-between us to distance us.

‹·~·~·›

Once the game ended me and Jamie headed up to the team, but Molly and Gwen stayed to play in the dirt. "Hey Jamie and uh Lucy" I raised my eyebrows in acknowledgement. "Congrats on the win" Jamie said smiling a bunch. "Thanks! Uh Jamie? Can I ask you a question?" He said nervously "yeah sure!"

"I was wondering if you wanted to go to the drive-in with me on Saturday?" I knew that Jamie was going to say no, we have plans to have a sleepover at her house and I even felt bad for the kid I could tell he was nervous. "Really! Yeah sure!" I look down at her confused. " Really?! Ok! I'll pick you up at 7 is that alright? " At this point he was smiling ear to ear. "Yeah! Here let me give you my address" she the  grabbed a paper and pen out of her pockets and wrote down her address "there! I have to go now bye Finney" we started to walk away "dude what was that?  We have plans Saturday" " oh shit your right! I totally forgot, it's fine we can just do it Sunday"

"Oh ok then" I said disappointed. And we walked home. Once me and Molly dropped Jamie off, Molly went over the her friend Susie's to hang out with her and Gwen so I decided to go on a smoke walk. As I was walking I walked past the grab 'n go. ' Vance isn't at that stupid machine why don't I try it? How hard can it be? ' I walk up to the doors and then walk to the machine. I put out my cigarette and fished for a quarter, and started to play, focusing only on the machine.

VANCE'S POV

I was pissed. After that stupid fight with Lucy I got a week suspension. ' god I hate her' I tried to calm down, and decided to play my pinball machine. I open the door and see people huddled around the machine. "What the hell" I muttered under my breath and push through the crowd to see Lucy fucking Parker I was about to shove her out of the way till her score caught my eye. It started to flash. ' WHAT THE HELL?! SHE BEAT MY SCORE!? '  it flashed 3476108. Just 8 higher than mine.

3476201

3476270

I was getting pissed. And I knew she could tell cause she stopped and let the ball drop and the crowd started to disappear. "You seem pissed" she said cockishly. "Yeah no shit Sherlock of course I am you just beat my fucking hight score" she started to smile. "What if we bet? If I  win you have to buy me a slushie"

"And if I win... " I thought about it for a bit. Till it hit me. My friend Chris has a crush on her, and she hates him. "If I  win then you have to go on a date with Chris" her eyes widened she sticks out her left hand and we shake on it. We flipped a coin and Lucy won and she started to play.

Lucy's POV

I put in my quarter and started to play as Vance leans in the machine watching as my score gets higher and higher.

480

519

I started to zone out thinking of anything. I started to think of Molly, and how I was going to keep her safe if dad was there. I started thinking about how bad I needed a cigarette. Then Jamie, 'how could she forget about our plans? '

908

Once I reached 923 the machine shut off. "What the hell??" I got mad and kicked it. Which turned it back on. Vance grins "its going to be easy to beat 923" and he starts the game. After a bit a group of guys walk in, I only noticed them because Chris was with them. ' of fucking course Chris is here'
the group starts to walk towards me and Vance, but I managed to swiftly move and I lean over Vance's shoulder.

The moment before Vance hits the button Chris and his group bump into his game. ' oh shit' was all I could think as Vance attacks them "YOU MOTHER FUCKER YOU MESSED UP MY GAME" I stood there watching as he fought them, eventually winning and he started to walk out and I followed him.

"You called me a stalker yet you're the one following me"" well, you owe me a slushie" I said grinning.

‹·~·~·›

I walked in the front door with my cherry slushie and see dad home passed out on the couch with a bottle in his hand. I make sure that Molly has her door locked because she got home while I was with Vance. I put on Paranoid by Black Sabbath and smoked till I fell asleep.
