school had just ended, and I was walking home. usually, I would walk with finney and gwen but finney had baseball practice right after school, and gwen was told to stay with him, so I couldn't walk with them. my friend robin offered to take me home, but I said I wanted to walk by myself.

I was just listening to music when I felt a tap on my shoulder. I turned around and saw no one there, so I looked the other way and saw Vance. he always liked to play tricks on me, and pranks too. it was kinda annoying but I enjoyed it.

see, I've had a crush on him since the day we met, which was 3 years ago. I've never been able to express my feelings to him because he's like the toughest kid in school. if I get rejected by him then it'll ruin everything. it'll also be awkward between us, and I don't want that.

imagine having a crush on someone for 3 years..

I smiled at him and playfully hit his arm. "hey, mind if I walk you home? I have nothing else to do." he said. "thats shocking, since you always play pinball." I replied, rolling my eyes. "well I barely talked to you, my best friend, today." he said, chuckling.

"fine, I'll let you walk me home." I said, in a voice that sounded like I granted his wish. he chuckled. "besides your mom likes me anyways." he said, looking at me. I looked at him for about 3 seconds then looked forward. "yeah, whatever." I've realized that Vance is only nice to his friends and their family, but everyone else, he would give zero shits for them.

we got to my house and saw my mom gathering her things. "hey honey. oh hi vance!" she said, noticing Vance. "hi, mrs, y/l/n. how've you been?" he asked, nicely. "well, thanks for asking. I hope your doing good as well. y/n, sweetie, I have to go to work so I'll probably see you in 2 days. I'm sorry, it was last minute. Call me when you need to. bye guys!" my mom said, leaving the house.

well that was quick. I didn't even get to talk to her for long. honestly though, I'm already kinda used to it, even though it still hurts. she always did this. she always put her work first, and me second. oh well, there's nothing I can do about it. I've tried to talk to her but she would just say the same thing, 'work is very important to me'

I didn't even notice I was looking down, until vance put his hand on my shoulder. "hey, it's alright. forget her. she's a piece of shit to you, but don't let that get to your head. you know what, you should treat her the same way she does to you. then, she'll know how you feel." he said.

He never really had good advice or was good at comforting someone, but he always found a way to make me smile. I looked up at him and was about to say something, but realized I was kinda close to him. both of us kept looking at each other, without saying anything. he was staring back at me and he didn't break eye contact.

my heart was beating fast and I tried to control my breathing. I saw him quickly look at my lips then back at my eyes. I wanted to lean in so bad, but what if something goes wrong? we were cut off when my phone started to ring.

great job, y/n. you didn't just hesitate to kiss him but you probably just caused awkwardness and embarrassment between you guys.

I closed my eyes and sighed to myself. I looked down as my phone and saw robin was calling me. "oh, it's uh..it's robin." I said to him. "what does he want..?" he said, furrowing his eyebrows while still looking at me. I could tell when vance was jealous by his eyes, and now I could see the same look...
