For the First Time || Robin Arellano

As i walk closer to the store, i notice a black van. I eye it and then notice a man drop his groceries, he looked a little creepy, he was wearing a black hat, he had white face paint on, and his van read Abracadabra, "oh man would you look at that!" He says, a little annoyed, "would you mind grabbing my hat sweetie?" I hand him his hat, and help him grab his groceries. He opens the back of his trunk. "Are those black balloons?" I ask, taking off my headphones, "Yes, Yes they are! Would u like to see a magic trick?" He asks, "Im sorry but i gotta go" i say quickly walking off. I can feel his stare, if looks could kill, i'd be dead.

I walk in the store and grab some gummy's, m&m's, and skittles, i pay and start walking over to donna's. I get there about the same time as bruce, as i see him turning the corner. "Hi Kami!" "hi bruce!" Do u need help, i can help you" he says grabbing the candy bags, i take off my headphones. "Oh thank you bruce!" "No problem, when did you move here?" "About a week ago" "like it so far?" "Its alright" "yeah Denver's nothing special but it's pretty cozy here, nothings really happened here, for the most part its a safe town, well, besides the grabber. He hasn't grabbed anybody in weeks, the last kid he's took was Vance Hopper, and he was the strongest kid in school, so, just make sure to be careful okay walking anywhere by yourself, always be aware of your surroundings." He tells me

I nod "have you ever seem him?" "No, but I've heard about him, he drives around in a black van, he pretends to be a magician of some type." My eyes widen. "What Have you seen him?" Bruce asks, "Yes, i saw him earlier on my way to the grab-n-go. He dropped groceries, i helped him, he asked if i wanted to see a magic trick, but said had to go."

"Oh My God. You know what i'll walk you home from now on, i don't need another one of my friends being taken. "Im sorry about that, and thank you" i say "it's alright, there wasn't much anybody could do."

We finally get to donna's. Robin, Finney, and Gwen were already waiting there. "Hi Kami & Bruce! Welcome cmon in" "Kami brought some snacks for the movie, ill put them in a bag." He says, patting me. Robin gives bruce a stare.

Robins POV
did he walk her home? Is that why she declined our offer to walk her home?  A bit of jealousy overcame my head. I snap out of it when i hear kami. "Hi Robin!" She says, smiling, i guess that made me feel a little better about myself, "Hi kami, did bruce walk you home?" I ask. Shit i didn't mean to say it. "Uhm no i walked home by myself and then on my way over here bruce saw me and helped me out, why?" She said. "Oh i was just asking" i say, tryna laugh it off. I felt a big feeling of relief wash over me.

Back to Kamila's POV
I awkwardly laugh back at robins question. I walk over to the garage where donna is and she's packing and loading up some blankets to take to the movie. "Ill help you do you need more blankets?" "Nope this was the last of it, thank you though!" Donna says with a smile. We walk back inside, and see Gwen and bruce sitting together on the couch laughing. Me and donna look at each-other with a smile. We sit down at the table, Gwen comes over and the boys are sitting in the living room watching tv.

"So Gwenyyy, you and bruce?" Donna asks giggling. She turned red, "SSHHH donna keep it down!!" Gwen says giggling too. "Yes i like him, do you guys think he likes me back?" She asks us. "Girl from the sight of what we saw on the couch it sure looks like it." "We'll help y'all get together. What about u and Finney donna? Finn talks about u allll the time, says how pretty u are, how he gets nervous around u, he said he wanted to make a move on u tonight" Gwen says

"Really? Gwendolyn Blake u better not be fucking with me right now." Donna says, " Im being deadass." "Oh my god! I needa go fix my outfit, re-do my makeup, Kami do you think you could do my makeup? And Gwen braid the tom of my hair?" "YESS"

we start walking upstairs, then Gwen yells "WE'LL BE UPSTAIRS, DON'T COME UP AND CALL US IF U NEED ANYTHING WE'RE LEAVING IN THIRTY" she says, they nod. Donna chooses a pretty and also comfy long-sleeve top with ripped jeans and some white converse. As were doing her makeup and hair, donna asks, "sooo Kami dont think your getting out of this, u and robin??? U were wearing his bandanna, he's totally into u." She tells me. "Uh it was just robin being ni-"

"yep thats enough kami, he could've took you to the nurse, could've asked me for some bandages, i have some in my backpack and he knows that cuz he always asks for some. You had some tape in ur backpack, u could've wrapped it with that like u did to his knuckles, but u kept the bandanna on, see? 'Him being nice' no thats a lame ass excuse to hide ur feelings, and yk it kami." Gwen says.

"damn Gwen" i say with my mouth dropped, giggling, "you got me." "I KNEW IT I KNEW IT U GUYS ARE GONNA BE SO CUTE TOGETHER OH MY GOD!!" "GWENNY CALM DOWN THEY CAN HERE U IM PRETTY SURE." says donna.

We head downstairs, get the boys up, and head over to Donna's moms car.
