Young and Tired of Everything

"Look Sean, when I said i'd hang out after school I wasn't expecting it to be at the school. Or more specifically near a dumpster."

"Oh come on, I got you lunch at the drive in before coming back. And plus you knew robotics was tonight and the best part is always the pre-party before anyway."

"Pre-party?"

"Yeah. It's where some of us come a little early so we can hang out before we go in and start. Since it doesn't start till 6:30 and most of us have to hang in town for it, we started it so we aren't always totally alone forever."

"Fair point. But if school gets out at 2:30 why don't they just have it start earlier. 6:30 is pretty late. And who all comes to this anyway. I mean, as fun as hanging around in the cold next to a dumpster sounds, the market's only a few blocks down and it's both warm and your less likely to get attacked by some hungry raccoons."

"Okay for one, there's really only ever wood in that thing so it doesn't even smell. And typically it's Morgan, Richard, Kade, Charlie, Dom, and some others but i don't really know 'em much. Plus myself"

"Dom? Who's that? I've heard the name I think."

"Dominic Johnson, class A weeb."

Why did his name sound so familiar but no face comes to mind..

"Huh..."

Before I could say anything else, Two hands were placed over my mouth from behind. A quick wave of panic washed over as my stomach dropped and my eyes went wide.. only to realize who it was by the held back laugher and in an instant i was holding back laughter myself.

"Comomnoh"

"What was that.. I couldn't hear you" He tease, stretching out the you.

Can't hear me huh..

"eWW ROSE WHY WOULD YOU DO THAT!?"

"Why does your hand taste like pickles?" I scrunched my nose in disgust.. greasy pickle at that,

"Oh! We got a ton of fries and deep fried pickles at Hal's!" Kade explained eagerly as Noah continued wiping saliva off of his palms.

"Oh, makes sense. Sean and I went earlier too," I nod my head towards my half empty milkshake cup "My gut definitely regrets it though."

"Wish I could say the same.. I'm still hungry!" Sean pouts,

"You're always hungry!" Kade, Noah, and I say at once shaking our heads.

"Stop attacking meeee" he lets out a small pout before sitting on the platform, near the dumpster.

"Nobody's attacking, just stating facts, Jughead"

"Jughead? Do I look skinny to you?" Sean laughed, poking into his stomach and watching his fingertip disappear through the fabric of his hoodie, "At least I stay warm compared to all you bitches."

"Not true! I'm not necessarily considered thin or anything close t-" "You thick" Noah mentions, cutting me off, "Right, but, it literally does not matter on weight 'cause I am always cold to the touch without actually being cold."  I pointed out, hating to be *that girl* but still being that girl.

"Fair enough," Sean shook his head in defeat, "I suppose."

"You suppose what?" Someone questioned,
It was a familiar voice but no recognition of it came to mind, causing me to turn towards its direction and see a guy walking towards the group,

"Oh, I was pointing out my fat being my source of heat and Rose figures that weight has nothing to do with it because she is, and I quote, "thick", but is normally still always cold. But I'm pretty i'm just fat and hot because of it." Sean fills in the new guy, while I can't take my eyes off of him, still puzzled as to who he is,

"Well she's not wrong. I'm pretty thin myself, to say the least, but act as a human heater ninety percent of the time." He states, laughing to himself slightly afterwards.

That laugh... how, or better, who's?
I really need to start paying more attention to people, wow.

By now more people started showing up and talking to one another, as 6:30 was only minutes till
