So Long And Good Night

Chapter Two (You Asked For It Pretty Boy)

We got here yesterday, and I unpacked all my stuff then and finished it quickly. I don't have that many belongings *to* unpack. I put up my pride flag, my band posters, set up my record player and found a place for my vinyls, hung my guitar and bass up and other stuff, and lastly, set a picture of me and my dad next to my bed on the bedside table.
I lied down on my freshly made bed.
Yay it's Sunday afternoon, and I have nothing to do. At all. Fucking murder me.
I decided to go downstairs to see if my dad needed help with anything. Turns out he didn't.
I had an idea.
"Hey dad, since we've just moved here can I go explore. I'll bring my phone, money, and I'll be back by 6:30." I asked him.
He didn't need much time to think about "Yeah sure I'll put some pizzas in for when you get back."
I opened my mouth to tell i want a mushroom and sweetcorn pizza when he cut me off
"Don't worry, mushroom and sweetcorn pizza for your vegetarian ass. Now go explore and *socialise* with people." We both laughed at the last part and how he emphasised the word socialise. Oh yeah, did I not mention, I'm vegetarian, and have been for about 6 years. Well now you know.
I picked up a spare key that was next to the door, and left. I was wearing my American Idiot tee, that was cut by me to be cropped, leather trousers, my black denim jacket, my dark green platform doc martens, and my black Panic! beanie sat on my head, with light curls poking out nicely.
I started walking around, looking for a shop of some sort to get drinks when I remembered that if my dad's getting pizzas, he'll obviously be getting drinks as well. I looked at the time and saw it was 5:20pm. I started to turn around to walk back to the house when I walked into a boy around my age, around the same height as me. He was skinny, had glasses covering his hazel eyes, and was wearing a beanie over some light brown hair. He also had a jawline that looked like it was carved out of stone and could cut anyone and anything. He was wearing an anthrax shirt and black jeans with a zip up hoodie and didn't have any face expression. I think I might have made my first ever friend.
"Sorry, I wasn't looking where I was going." I started when he cut me off.
"I haven't seen you around and you're clearly British, your highness. You new here?"
"Ummmm yes I moved here yesterday. Why?" I asked him, tilting my head to the side and rolling my eyes at his 'making fun' of my accent. If I'm being honest, I have no fucking clue how to speak to people, let alone make friends.
"I can show you around if you want. I'm Mikey, by the way. Mikey Way." Nice of him to offer, but I really needed to get back. My dad said this was a dodgy area and it was 5:45pm now.
"I would say yes, but I have to get back to my house now and I don't wanna worry my dad." I responded with an apologetic smile on my face "I'm Phoenix Quinn though."
"Well, I'll see you around then, Phoenix Quinn" He nodded at me as he said this.
"See you Mikey" I smiled at him, again. I'm actually socialising for once. I heard him mutter something under his breath as I walked away. Something like 'dumbass'. He obviously thought I couldn't hear though, so I turned around and asked him what he said.
"Oh don't worry, I said nothing." Sarcastic, wow. Two can play that game bitch. If he's gonna be a dick, well then, friendship is chucked down the drain.
"Don't try and get all sassy with me Way" I growled at him, showing no emotion on my face.
"Oh I wasn't, I was just saying the truth." He said, still being sarcastic as anything.
"Whatever, I need to go." I turned and walked off, shaking my head and laughing slightly. Psychotic right? Nope. I just found it funny really how he thought he scared me.

~time skip brought by closing the god damn door~

"Hey dad, pizza smells great." I shouted through to him. I took my shoes off and chucked the key where I found it before I left. I took my beanie off as I walked into the kitchen, only to have my dad ruffle my hair and me to scrunch up my face with mock disgust.
"Daaaaaad, not the hairrrrrrrr" I said dramatically, pretending to wipe away a fake tear.
"Hey sweetie, you're just on time." He laughed at my face as I tried to fix my hair in the oven reflection. "Did you find anyone to be your next victim besides me."
I laughed at him calling me trying to find friends 'finding victims'. "Eh, I did find one guy."
"Ooooooh a guyyyyyyy" he cut me off before I could finish.
"Yes, a guy. He was a dick though." I rolled my eyes at him jumping to conclusions. Again. "And why would it matter if he's a guy, I'm bi remember." I said laughing. He did seem a bit downtrodden that I didn't like the person I met earlier. He just rolled his eyes at me.
"Alright sass queen." We both burst out laughing as he said that while taking the pizzas out the oven. We went through to the living room, sat down on the couch and ate our pizzas, watching whatever was on tv until I went upstairs and to my to sleep.
