Just Ellie

Aracde time bby😛

Ellie's POV
We all went inside the building and found a bunch of old games. 
"Wow Bubbles I think some of these might just be as old as your car" Ryan joked
"Very funny Ryan, come on I want to go play Galaga" I grabbed his hand and pulled him through the large room, I found the game and started playing.
"I'm surprised you don't suck at this bubbles."
"Shut up, you're distracting." I said playfully while using the joystick.
"Well if I remember correctly you're the one that dragged me over here." He retorted
"Yeah yeah whatever go find Nick.  We left the poor boy at the entrance."
"Fine, but when you lose come find us the street fighter machine."
"You play street fighter?" I asked not taking my eyes off of the game.
"Ever since I was little, I'm really good at it if I do say so myself" he said cockily
"Well I bet I could beat your ass"
"We're swearing again, wow you must be really serious."
"Yep"
"Okay well I'll meet you there, I'm gonna go look for Nick bye bubbles."
"Bye Ryan."
After I was playing Galaga (which I did very well at) I went to the street fighter machine to see Ryan and nick. I ended up playing Ryan in street fighter...I won.
"What the hell!"
"What?"I asked innocently
"Don't "what?" Me, have you played before?"
"Maybe, maybe not". I snickered "yeah actually, my dad used to take me and Lilia down to this arcade when we were little."
"Wow, you're so what's the word, old."
"What's that supposed to mean." I ask nick turning my head towards him
"Well, maybe more vintage." He changes his mind
"That isn't any better." I playfully rolled my eyes "but please do explain"
"First off your car, really like you couldn't have gotten anything...modern."
"Hey that's my baby, she will be very offended if she hears that you're talking bad about her."
"Oh yeah and your room."
"How do you know about my room?"I questioned, Nick's never been in there.
"That's not important right now, really Ellie? Records on records on records on-"
"Yeah I get it I have lots of records."
"And vhs tapes, really who has vhs tapes.  Don't even get me started on your clothes or aesthetic.  You thrift Ellie, you LITERALLY THRIFT FOR FUN."
"I find nothing wrong with that.  It's cheap and you could get some really good pieces.  That's usually only on a good day but you know there are multiple shops near us that carry nice second handed clothes.  It's also so good for the environment, I mean the U.S's carbon footprint is absolutely-"
"Shut upppp, you're so boring" Ryan groaned.
"No I'm not," I laughed and hit his arm.
It was a couple hours we were there and now it was about 7 p.m. yeah we've been hanging out for a long time. Anyways we ended up going to the gas station by the arcade and got a bunch of snacks. I drove back to my place, the boys following me so I could drop off my car. I got in Ryan's and we all went to his house. I saw his mother when we went inside. She was cleaning.
"Hi Mrs. Anderson." I said slightly yelling.
"Hi Ellie, hi boys." She said smiling.
"Let's go upstairs, bubbles come on." Ryan grabbed my hand and pulled me up the long spiral staircase.
"Where did nick go."
"He's already in my room."
"Oh, okay."
We talked and ate for awhile, by the time we were quieting down it was midnight.
"Guys I'm boredddd." Nick said
"Yeah same."
"Do you want to go to 7 eleven, I want a slurpee." Nick asked
"Bruh, we just went to the gas station." I argued
"Yeah, like 5 hours ago. Anyways the 7 eleven is way better than the gas station. I don't know it just hits different." Nick explained
"At this point I don't even care, so sure." Ryan said.
"Yayyyyyyyy" nick screamed
"Okay bubbles get up."
While in the car the boys were rapping some song. I didn't pay attention because I don't really like rap. I mean don't get me wrong it's not bad but if I listened to it, the music would probably be from the 90's instead of today.
We got to 7 eleven and nick sprinted into the store. We all got slurpees. Nick got cherry, Ryan got blue Raspberry and I had a mix of the two flavors. I ended up paying because I want to be nice.
It just felt good to be with people who cared about me after what happened. It's not like I don't think about her. Of course I do, I just don't want to waste all my time being sad. I need to keep living life and I know she would want me to be happy. So that's why I'm living and trying to have fun. It's all for her.
"Hey do you guys care if I post some of the pictures we took today?" I asked them
"No" they said.
"Can you send them to me I wanted to post one." Nick said
"Yeah me too." Ryan agreed
"Okay." We we're back at Ryan's house by this time just hanging out in his room. I sent both of them the photos and we all posted some on instagram.
