The Five Misfits

"Matty!" Alice yells, running into the store with Kat trailing behind her.
"Alice, I'm working right now." I fake a smile, forcing the words out. If my manager caught my friends in here again, keeping me from doing my work, I'll be fired on the spot. And I did a lot to get this job.

"Yeah, yeah. Just come to Robin's after your job thing, 'kay?" Alice asks- practically demanding.
"Fine. Just leave already." I push the small blonde off the counter. She smiles and skips out of the store. Finally, I can work in peace.

"Mathew, clean up on aisle 5." Spoke too soon.

When I arrive to Robins house, I notice Grayson's car in the driveway. Well, who could miss it? It was a dark blue minivan with a broken widow on the passenger side, dents everywhere, and writing in lime green paint on the back window that said 'Robin Wuz Here With Ur Mom'.

I parked next to the hideous thing and got out, only to be greeted by Alice at the front door. She grabbed my arm and pulled me inside.

Grayson and Kat were sitting on the large couch with Xbox controllers in hand, while Robin just walked into the room with a couple of beers.
"Matty! I'm glad you could make it!" Robin smiles while setting the beers down on the coffee table. I smile and take a seat next to Kat on the couch while Alice sits on the floor in front of her.

"How's the job?" Kat asks, not taking her light brown eyes away from the TV. She's totally beating Grayson right now.
"Yeah Matt how is the job? We are all dying to know." Grayson says sarcastically.
"Shut the hell up Gray, you idiotic twat." Robin says, falling back on the couch between Gray and Kat.

"The job is like usual. I stack things, clean things and ring people up. Nothing exciting about working in a grocery store." I say ignoring Robin and Gray's comments. No body seems to hear me though as they all continue with their own conversations.

"-like, who does he think he is? I could totally find someone better. I don't need him. All he does is get high and cheat. God, I don't even know why I started dating him in the first place." Alice talks about her boyfriend, Oliver. He is a pretty crappy guy. And its true, that all he does is get high and cheat. I think this time he cheated on Alice with Rebecca Johansen, another stoner within his group.

"Hey Matt, how's your girly-friend doing?" Grayson asks pausing his game.
"She broke up with me." I say shrugging.
"What? Again? Dude, what do you do to make all the girls hate you?" He asks. Wow, no sympathy at all. But I guess that's just Grayson.
"They just find out that I'm not who they think I am."

"Awe Matty, you still have us though. You don't need that Isabel chick." Robin says hugging me from behind.
"This one wasn't Isabel. It was Rachel." I say.
"Wait, when did Isabel break up with you?" Kat asks opening a beer and taking a sip.
"I don't know, two weeks ago?" I say unsure as I open my own beer.

"Wait man, I thought you were still with Tessa." Grayson says confused. I sigh.
"No, I dated her before Bethany who was before Isabel."
"Wait, then when did Holly come in?" Alice asks.
"Can we drop my ex girlfriend topic?" I ask annoyed. They always make fun of me because I get dumped all the time. It's not even my fault. The girls ask me out thinking I'm some badass, but when they find out I'm just normal, they break it off.

"Dude, Robin. This is cheap ass beer." Alice says putting down her second can.
"Cheap ass beer for cheap ass people." Robin mutters, only to get tackled to the floor by Alice.
"5 dollars on Alice." Grayson smirks looking at Kat.
"5 on Robin." Kat replies.

Long story short, Robin won.

For the rest of the night, we drank beer, played Xbox, listened to The Smiths and just hung out. Another normal night with us five misfits.
