Steve: That's not fair to say, it's definitely a top five for me!
Robin: Harrington are you insane? It's not even a classic!
Steve: Whatever, you just didn't have a childhood I guess.
Ashley: Ladies, ladies, you're both pretty. It's just a movie calm down! And you know what Steve it is a classic, I'll give you that. I'm just not sure it makes top five, that's all.
I rewound the tape to play from the beginning on the Family Video store television. I didn't exactly work here, but my friends Robin and Steve do. And my dad owns this place so I'm always up here hanging out with them. Every shift they watch a new movie form the store, but it usually results in some sort of argument.
Robin: Whatever, I'm picking tomorrow.
Steve: Sure you can pick your Disney bullshit. But when it's my turn I'll keep it badass.
Robin didn't even give him a reaction, she was so over it. A customer came in and she went to assist them.
Ashley: I am not ready to go back to school. I can't do it. I'm just gonna drop out.
Steve: Yeah thats probably a reasonable response.
He mumbled as he scratched in his crossword.
Ashley: That doesn't helpppp. I haven't done any of my homework. I just need to graduate. But apparently in order to be a functioning adult, I have to know how to measure a triangle.
Steve: Oh please, I'll help you with that. You better not fail.
Ashley: I got everything else down, math is just dumb. And no offense, but I don't think I want you helping with that.
Steve: None taken, just ask Robin. She's good at that shit.
Ashley: Yeah, yeah.
Steve: Sometimes I don't know how you've made it this far with that as your motto.
Robin made her way behind the counter to check out the customer. Me and Steve went around to the other side.
Robin: Have a nice, day! We hope to see you soon Mrs. Gilman.
Steve: I'm hungry, can we close up early and grab food?
Ashley: I second that. Also could I catch a ride? My dad is home for the day and it's a little cold to walk.
Steve: Yeah I guess I can take both of you guys.
Robin: We're technically supposed to stay til 8.
Ashley: No body ever comes in past now.
Robin: Would it piss off your dad?
Ashley: That sounds like the best part.
Steve rolled his eyes.
Ashley: For real though, I doubt he'd even notice if we went to dinner and I got home past 8.
Robin: Okay let's close up. Steve turn off that movie.
Steve: You better believe we're finishing it tomorrow!
Robin: We'll see.
They shut off the electronics and the lights and we grabbed our coats. Steve locked the door and we all filed into his car.
Steve: Drive through?
Robin: Sounds good to me.
Steve drove down the street a bit and came to the local diner. He pulled through the drive through.
He made a ridiculously long order and kept adding things. He probably spent every dime he'd made today.
Once we got the food, Steve pulled into a parking spot.
He dug through the bag and grabbed himself two burgers, a large order of fries, and a milkshake.
We stared at him wide eyed as he casually handed the bag off to us.
Robin: Holy shit Steve.
Steve: I'm hungry!
Ashley: Clearly!
I took my burger and drink. Steve devoured his order like it was nothing at all. It was terrifying to watch.
Robin: Well, break has come to an end. Ready to wake up bright and early tomorrow?
Ashley: Don't even. I'm in denial.
Robin: I hate to break it to you, but I won't be there in the morning.
Ashley: What!?
Robin: Yeah I booked an appointment in the morning and I won't be through til like 12:30 or something.
Ashley: Dammit, I have to do first period all alone, it's the new class.
Robin: Shit, I'm sorry.
Ashley: It's fine, maybe it won't be that bad.
Steve: What class is it?
Ashley: I don't even know. Some "environmental science" bullshit. I didn't sign up for it, but apparently I failed it freshmen year and now I have to make it up.
Steve: Ash you really can't fail, you gotta walk across that stage.
Ashley: You aren't my mom, trust me I know Steve I'm trying.
We talked for a bit longer before finishing eating and Steve drove to drop me off a few minutes away.
Y/n: Thanks for taking me home. Bye guys!
I dreaded going inside. I stared at the door for a few seconds. Praying dad was asleep on the couch.
I turned the knob and walked in quickly, not looking around, trying to get to the stairs. I got upstairs and shut my door quietly. My collapsed on my bed.
School tomorrow.
