Colors ~ Fack AU

red is for roller skating

~ this takes place in illinois. this is an au, so their parents don't care, they go to school but it's never mentioned. IT and Stranger Things never happened. always in finn's pov unless further specificied.

clunk, clunk, clunk.

our roller skates get plopped in front of us. caleb, gaten, millie, sadie, noah and i all thank them and sit on the benches to put them on.

i untie my laces on the dull, grey skates. i take off my vans and attempt to put the skate on. it doesn't fit, and is half a size too big.

i stand back up, holding the pair of skates in my left hand.

"mine are too small also, can i come with?" i only nod to gaten.

we get to the front to meet the blonde girl again. this time she's not working alone. a small, freckled brunette is working in the back. i watch him fix skates before gaten nudges me to speak.

"i got a 10, but i need a 9 1/2," i announced. the girl, named reylynn, took the skates and placed them under the counter.

"jack," she began, which i'm assuming was the cute boy's name, "we need an 8 and a 9.5."

he picked up both sets after a bit of fiddling and placed them on the counter, first looking at gaten, hearing his thank you.

we met eye contact, and he rushed to the back, without letting me thank him. "um, thanks?" i whispered quietly.

reylynn chuckled. "seems like he's shy. i've never seen him like that before."

i wondered for a bit, looking at the door he had escaped through. i saw his curly locks a little bit under the window. i saw his chocolate brown eyes peek over, then pop right back down.

i looked down at my roller skates, to see the wheels were no longer dull colors.
