bruce is sick and fucking tired of listening to his mom and dad whine about how he's still single with all these people all over him. so, he decides to do something about it. through family drama and anger issues, can the two work it out? - !! number 1 for #secretlyinlove !! based off of the song : 18 - anarbor this is a modern day, band au!! :) (meaning, cell phones, no grabber, a time skip as well!) bruce is a junior in high school, vance is a senior. (17) (17, soon to be 18) i know other people have done this idea before 🧍🏻‍♀️ credits to them 🫶

Bruce feels disgusted by himself after the Grabber touched him. [The kids that were kidnapped before Finney weren't killed, just locked in a room with connection to the black phone in Finney's room. They helped Finney kill the Grabber the way they did in the movie and then got rescued. In that time the 'dead' boys became friends and hung out, including Finney in their group.]

• aged up • Vance always thought he liked girls. nothing ever really made him question that. until he saw someone who caught his eye, bruce yamada, the "golden boy"

bruce; a boy who gets perfect grades, has the perfect family, and is an amazing baseball player. theres no possible way his reputation could be ruined. except when he gets closer with 'pinball' vance hopper; who just so happens to be the town bad boy, he beats up kids for tiny things, skips classes and is failing school. •based off the song 'where is my mind', hence the chapter names. yippe yippe i love brance yippe OMG ILYSM THANKYOUTYSNJYOU FOR ALL THE READS, VOTES AN EVEEYTHING ❤️

this story is actual shit and idk where i was going with it but read if you want🤷🏼‍♀️ Bruce Yamada was a perfect child. He got straight A's, he played baseball, he was perfect. Other parents reffered to him as "president perfect". Vance Hopper was quite the opposite. He got into fights, skipped school, he was a problem child. No one excpected Bruce to be-friend Vance. But here we are...
