takin' what's not yours

6

I WOULD TELL YOU THAT I LOVE YOU IF I THOUGHT THAT YOU WOULD STAY.

SUNLIGHT FLOODED THROUGH OPEN BLINDS AND CURTAINS, y/n sighed turning off her lamp which supplied her with artificial light until the early sun rise blanketed the town.

6:50, she had twenty minutes before vance showed up. She woke up late again which was to her annoyance. The sun rose at 5:10, exactly the reason she left her blinds open yet the beams seemed to have no effect.

Y/n swore she only blinked and the time hurried 7:10 and she hadn't even put her shoes on yet.

exactly on time, heavy knocks blasted through the house, Jesus, was that boy trying to take down the house?

"y/n who the hell is that." her fathers harsh voice warned the girl of her father's presence.

"um i don't know pa, i'll see when i go out" Her hasty voice mumbled, shoving her feet in her shoes as fast as she could to get away from her fathers remorseless mood, which ultimately led to her spiriting out of her house with her two laces undone.

SMACK!

y/n face planted straight into vances chest. The scheming boy who towered over her looked down at the girl with a confused expression.

"eager to see me huh"

With the rush of her lateness and fathers dooming mood she hadn't had time to think
of the fact her boyfriend, well ex boyfriend had broken up with her just yesterday.

Remembering the real reason vance was here made her heart pang a bit, immediately ruining her mood.

vance noticed her shoulder's immediately dropping and decided to hold the girl, just one time before school.

"hey look, you're fifteen. I'm surprised you haven't had six different boyfriends and broken up with them all yet it's what people do. Trust me i've heard about half the school's population break up in the grab n go it's okay"

Vance immediately regretted his sobby words, Despite trying to make someone else feel better it didn't have the satisfactory feeling everyone raved about. Maybe he was being too nice.

"Sorry my lace was undone you'd never believe it i woke up late again! anyway race you!" The way the girl went from depressed to chippy in a matter of seconds was confusing to the boy.

Of course y/n wasn't any less hurt it was just an excuse to take her mind off the pending, painful situation that was going to be school.

Whispers rang from ear to ear and out loud as y/n and vance road their bikes to school.

A glare shot from bruce's eyes, which was ironic due to his arm clinging around the shoulder of another girl.

"y/n. Can i talk you you."
A taller boy walked towards the two who stood still in the banana coloured bike shed.

"uh yeah!" the girls unsure mood melted as the boy was unmasked to be her older brother.

"Alone." his voice stood stern as y/n simply looked at him with blank big eyes.

"Ohh.. vance i'll be back real soon." the girl smiled at the curly hair delinquent blonde to reassure him, despite not knowing she would indeed not be back 'real soon'

"what the hell are you doing running around with vance hopper. Are you crazy" her brother spat in disgust, shocked his sister would stoop to vance hopper low.

"what? he's nice. It's your fault anyway, ya know. He said something about you saying something about dad. I had to move the conversation on you told me not to say a peep, it just led on to something else" the girls mouth fell parched as she felt she just uttered out a tongue twister to defend herself.

"okay? and you could have just said 'oh sorry vance i don't talk to dicks' instead of plotting around with him!" Stan mocked the girls voice making her eyebrows furrow.

Vance had completely been out of line with what he said, there was no way to palm it off as simple as that.

"whatever stan you're being a bitch" the girl turned to walk off in a scoff when her arm was pulled back by her brother.

"listen here, don't go near him. Don't even try. I will find out and i will beat his ass until he's a ball of that beautiful hair on the floor" Stan spoke before quickly shoving his sister forward and walking away

Y/n could help but laugh at her brothers comment, he was funny but he was also a man to his words, and she wasn't willing for vance to get his shit rocked.

Unfortunately for her having a brother on the baseball team gave stan a unlimited supply of knuckleheads at his finger tips.

"y/n wait up!" vances eyes lit up as the girl passed him in a scattered mess, yet blank.

she totally just blanked me didn't she.

vance strode up to his friends as he rejected the brush of embarrassment he just encountered.

"so the y/n chick huh" his friends teased him, making kissing noises and chants of 'vancey i love you!' causing the boys skin to crawl with both fury and humiliation.

"baby? no. She broke up with bruce so i'm pretending to like her, mac betted me on it"
It panged vances heart to talk about y/n this way. Of course, there was no bet and his feelings were very much real, ever since middle school. But he wasn't going to admit that. Especially after what she pulled out of the blue today.

"sick dude! let's all do it. $10 if you get with with her before we go to sophomore year, so this month and  summer break." The rest of the boys hastily agreed and put their bets in.

"psshh, that's like what nearly three months, that's a breeze"

A breeze?
A breeze.
