"Hey, food after you're out of school?"

"Yeah, I'll have to see if I can leave the house though so I'll let you know."

"Smh, Vic you are 17 years of age you can't let your parents keep bossing you around you're a big boy now. kinda."

"Boy it's not like I can stand up to my parents and they'll change you know that my parents are literally crazy yours don't even care if you leave the house"

"pussy" Kellin is such a brat.

"Wow, Fuentes, what a nice wonderful phone you've got here, wow the 6+? I wonder if it'll fit in my pocket it's huge hm, lets try it out and I'll let you know after class, in the meantime how about you pay attention to what I'm teaching here." I groaned and handed my phone over to my chemistry teacher while getting a few snickers from other kids in the class. I wish I didn't even have to take this dumb class like it's just math but like 4 times harder with more shit I don't even understand. We hardly even do interesting experiments other than putting like, baking soda in pop or some shit. Wow! Amazing!

I keep glancing at the clock and breaking the time down, so now i only have to get through ten minutes twice and I'll be out of here. I continue on taking notes on different equations and stuff that we have to remember for our upcoming big test. I'm just waiting till school is finally out and I can go get food with Kellin. It's always fun going out with him.

The bell finally rang signifying that 7th period is over so I grab my stuff and go to the teachers desk.

"Fuentes, here's your phone and if I catch you again I'm gonna message everyone in your phone and say you have a crush on the lunch ladies." I awkwardly laugh but he tries to be funny and sounds completely ridiculous.

"Okay, I'll keep that in mind." I take my stuff and head out. My 8th period is the only part of the school day that I actually enjoy which is photography. We have a shooting day today so it'll give me time to unwind. I walk down the hall and to my photography class and put my stuff away and grab my camera. The school provides us with really nice Nikon cameras and I love it. They take such amazing photos. I sit at a random spot as the bell rings and the last few kids trickle in.

"Okay, today is a shooting day so all I have to say is you guys have until 3:25 and it's 2:57 so get to shooting. Go." Everyone gets out of their seats and files out of the class to take photos around the school. This school is so boring and everyone complains on how there's nothing to shoot, but it's not that hard to turn something boring into something that looks like it's professionally shot somewhere else, I guess you just have to have the eye for it. I feel my phone buzz in my pocket and take it out. It's of course Kellin texting me.

"boy you'd better have a damn good reason for ignoring my texts."

"Kellin shut up you got me in trouble for being on my phone. I'll text you when I'm out."

"Boohoo. Okay, Meet me by the side doors." I lock my phone screen and take the last few pictures and I head back to class.

"Already done, Vic?" My teachers asks.

"Yeah I got all 10 pictures so I'll develop them tomorrow."

"Way to stay on the ball." I nod my head and put my SD card into my bag.

The bell rings and I get up and head outside. I see Kellin's familiar black car sitting out front waiting and I walk to the car. I open the door and hop in.

"Hey, Hey." Kellin says.

"Are we 13 now?" I ask with a smirk.

"Yes we are. Okay so you wanna go to a Chinese buffet because that sounds so good right now." I agree and we take off to downtown. We talk about random stuff on the way there and listen to music. I get a text from my friend Alex and I unlock my phone to read it.

"Yo Vic, just got new shit. Got some xanx too, i can give ya 2 on the house because you helped me out last time."

"Hell yeah, I'll pick them up around 5:30-6:00, cool?"

"yeah man see you soon." I lock my phone and put it back in my pocket.

We get to the restaurant and get out of the car and walk up. Kellin looks nervously at me wanting me to talk to the person at the register. I smile and walk up to the counter.

"Hi, 2 adult buffets please." I hand him $20 and Kellin and I head off.

"I was gonna pay you know." Kellin said. "Nah I got it." He shrugged and we got out food. Kellin kept talking about how happy he was because the food was fresh. I look at him and smile to myself. He's so dumb sometimes. We find a booth at the back of the restaurant and sit down. He takes out his phone and takes a picture of me and the food.

"Kellin why do you always have to document every time we eat?" He smirks. "Because I am a food enthusiast and I have to share with the world my adventures with you at restaurants." I laugh at that.

"We're literally at the China Buffet, and by 'The world' you mean your 28 friends on snapchat?" He makes a dumb face at me and mocks my sentence and that dumb voice people make when they mock eachother.

"Sorry I'm not the life of the party, Mr. Popular." I roll my eyes at him and mutter an "Okay, whatever you say." I eat a little bit of my food, but not even half before I decide I'm done. Kellin eyes me and my food while drinking his pop.

"What are you staring at you weirdo" he puts down his drink.

"You ate like, a bite." I shrug. "I'm not that hungry I guess." He rolls his eyes.

"Literally you never eat anything anymore. Eat your food before I kill you."

"Good, kill me then." He throws a piece of meat at me and snickers to himself. I really think he's trapped inside the body of a 10 year old. We finish up eating and Kellin takes me back to my house. We pull up to my house and I internally groan.

"I'll see you later." Kellin smiles. I lean over and kiss his cheek and I see him blush a little bit.

"I'll text you." He nods. "Oh, hey, please try not to get anything while you're home. Don't fight with your parents or brother." I nod and wave a goodbye and walk up to my house. I walk inside and walk into the kitchen. My mom was sitting in there on here phone.

"Hey Vic, I need you to do the dishes and tidy up the kitchen." I look at her already annoyed. "I don't even get a hello, or how was your day?" She rolls her eyes at me.

"Just do what you're told and stop being bratty for once." I mutter insults in spanish under my breath. My mom is the only one out of the family that doesn't know spanish so she's the only one I can do it to. I start start cleaning up the kitchen when my brother comes home.

"Hey Vic, you think you could loan me some money?" I roll my eyes. "I can't buy all this stuff for you Mike maybe get a job and do it yourself." He glares at me.

"Si no compraste drogas todo el tiempo tal vez lo harías." (translated to 'maybe if you didn't buy drugs all the time you would') I drop the plate I was holding in the sink and push Mike against the wall. "You'd better fucking stop before you really piss me off." My mom stands up and starts yelling at us.

"Victor get off of your brother right now or you can kiss your car and phone goodbye."

"What, the phone and car I paid for? Start paying for my shit and we'll talk." She yells at me to go up to my room and that I'm not leaving the house for 'a good long time'.

Except I am, and I don't really care what she says at this point.
