i heard the front door open and close, knowing it wasn't my parents and grace was the only person, well one of the only people who had a spare key. i screamed out her name, because what else would you do when your best friend comes to visit, because she couldn't spend the night.
"BITCH IS YOU HERE?" i yelled
"HOE YOU KNOW" she yelled back i laughed and went down stairs, running up and jumping on here back after she closed the door.
"Jesus crispy chips how many pizzas did you eat last night?" she joked, dropping her two bags.
"Bro how long are you staying?" i chuckled, she grinned at me.
"until your parents get back.."
"i have to deal with you for 2 weeks?" i groaned
"damn i feel so welcomed" she sarcastically smiled
"you know your we-" we had slowly made our way to the kitchen because we're fat and we the front door open. Guys voices filling the house Grace grabbed my arm and dragged me out, she's one of those people who die in the movies, but if she's dying so are you. we walked out and my eyes met with full brown ones and brighter blue ones. my childhood best friends. and brother, but i thought of him as a best friend you live with. i looked at grace and she was about the same i was.
"Crystal i think i'm gonna pass out" she mumbled.
"maybe if we just walk away they'll disappear and we can eat a bunch of junk food in my room?" and with that in the same moment me and grace ran towards the stairs and i could hear their footsteps behind me, i'm not fast and i'm pretty clumsy falling on the last step, making me break into laughter because falling is so funny to me. Grace started laughing with me, because we're both children until we remembered the situation, a warm hand wrapped around my arm, before it could tighten i yanked my arm away and stood up walking fast towards my room hearing, the Jacks, Skate and Sammy, trying to get me to stop. i wasn't gonna. i plopped on the bed now in a terrible mood.
"Stop." grace cut off my self depression.
"let me feel bad for myself" i pouted, we laughed together for a few seconds and grace jumped on the bed next to me.
"Hey, just because your here doesn't make your life hell alright, we have so many good memories in the this house and the neighborhood, they can't change that ok?" she put her middle finger out and i locked mine with hers. a middle finger promise, stronger than any other, we both laughed having some flashbacks.
"remember how we met?" i snorted covering my mouth
"oh my god that was a terrible day"
"you tripped and got you finger stuck in a fucking water fountain!!" i continued laughing, "and i had to help you and then we both got out of school for accidentally cussing in front of the principal and the hallway, on the first day." i laughed standing up pointing at her,
"you're terrible, i got in so much trouble for that shit" she grumbled laughing too.
"what's your favorite memory?" i asked once our laughs died down, she looked at me for a second then looked down.
"Probably the night you opened up about everything, your brother, and his friends, and your father. but also that night we spied on that kid right after a party and found out he came out to his girlfriend" she smiled lightly at them memory. i laughed, that night was crazy, to say the least. "what's really funny about that was when we went out the next morning, there was a bottles of half drank vodka" i laughed lowly and suddenly got the feeling we should do something, it had been a while since we got out and did something. i looked outside at the actually nice weather and jumped up walking to my closet pulling out some clothes, i ended up in a cropped hoodie and black shorts, and i threw something similar to Grace which hit her in the face
"That hurts you bitch!" she yelled i laughed
"Do you wanna fight right now bro let's go" i yelled pretending to square up and and she pretended to punch me.
"ow why'd ya do that" i said making my voice babyish and laughing, finally we grabbed our phones and headphones and our boards from very deep in my closet.
"yo do you remember in like 8th when we were best friends?" i said putting air quotes around 'best friends' she nodded shaking her head as we walked down the stairs going to grab some breakfast. we made a plan, so if they saw us or tried to talk or whatever we would completely ignore them and continue discussing what we were. as we entered the kitchen i could see their eyes burning through me, they didn't know Grace.
"i hated your dumbass" me and her said at the same time and looked at each other laughing.
"you were just easy to hate, like you were a bipolar mess and i was hormonal mess and i decided to hate you rather than all my fake friends" i vented and we looked at each other at the same moment
"Julie" we both said
"i hated that bitch." i said bluntly, 'cuss' words not affecting me much but i swear i heard Jack gasp.
"Alright Miss. G you have no good food and i'm starving so shall we ride to iHop and grab something then do something?" she said making herself a coffee
"sounds good" i said my phone cutting me off.
"it's my mom i gotta take it, meet me in the front" i mumbled
"what" i said rudely before even exiting the kitchen, i dropped the board down and rode it out of the kitchen and out the door.
Grace POV
****
As Crystal left i waited for my coffee, i forgot the guys were there until i heard the front door slam.
"Who are you?" G asked, he was Crystals brother, i rolled my eyes.
"better than you that's for damn sure." i snapped at him
"Are you and Crystal friends"
"nope i just like showing up randomly" i said more rude than needed, what the fuck is wrong with this damn coffee machine.
"are guys best friends?" i finally grew a pair and looked up, they all stared back at me, i rolled my eyes once more before chugging my finished coffee, let me say, it hurt, but it was so damn worth it,
"her one and only" i said before leaving the kitchen, i went straight outside and jumped on my board that Crystal set out for me, and we rode down the street hand and hand screaming lyrics to our favorite songs.
