The school day went by pretty quick surprisingly, I would check my phone every 20 minutes to see if henry texted me but he didn't, not until around 3, 20 minutes before school gets out.

3:02 pm

🥴Henry🥴

H: I got belch to let us use his car, how about after school you meet me in the parking lot and we go on a little adventure? 😈😼 it's not a trap (I promise)

S: hmm...

H: please?

S: sure, since you asked so nicely. <3

H: fuck off

I couldn't help but smile, as much as I wanted to hate Henry.. I just can't say no to him. I wonder what he could possibly have planned. I hope he's gonna get me that weed he promised while we're on our 'adventure'.. but what if he tries to.. do stuff... I'm really not ready for something like that, and what if he gets mad if I reject him again? This could go wrong in so many different ways. The possible danger of the situation made me anxious but at the same time it made me want to hang out with him even more. The fact that henry is a complete psycho and can snap and get angry any second is what makes it so exciting. It sounds kind of fucked up but my whole life has been so boring.. I'm 16 and I've barely done anything fun in my life. Other kids are out partying and being dumb, I've been so cautious my whole life, I haven't really been living, and I think it's time I changed things up a bit. It's time I start taking risks and living my life the way it's meant to be lived. So if that means taking the risk of getting hurt by Henry then I think I'm willing to do that. Maybe he can show me how to live.

  Henry's POV

I stood outside of belchs car, leaning against the passenger door. I looked down at my phone to check the time, 3:22 pm.. he should be coming out any second.. I can't believe he agreed to hang out with me after the fucked up stuff I texted him last night. I wonder if he saw what I said about my dad... hopefully my spelling and grammar was so bad he couldn't understand what I was saying. It's gonna be so awkward if he brings that up, especially because I know I won't be able to keep myself from breaking down. I've been nothing but emotional this past week and I think it has something to do with the fact that for the past 17 years of my life I've been devoted to making everyone else's life as miserable as mine but finally I have someone that I can be open around, Stanley won't judge me.. and I wouldn't judge him.. I'll judge everyone else and be mean to them but-... not Stanley. If I'm being completely honest, I also want to acknowledge the fact that I literally don't think I've seen a physical human that is more stunning than Stanley uris. There I said it! He's fucking gorgeous and no one can tell me otherwise.

   I lit a cigarette and put it to my lips, I was so caught up in my thoughts I didn't realize Stanley walking towards me. He held onto the straps on his backpack and looked down as he stood in front of me, he looked nervous.. cute. "Hey Henry..." I grinned and looked him up and down, "hello heart breaker.." his eyes shot up, "heart breaker?" I opened the door for him "I can see the future" I laughed and walked over to the drivers seat, when I got in Stanley was putting his seatbelt on. "Do you even have a heart for me to break?" I pretended to be offended, "ouch.. already breaking my heart.. told you I can see the future.." the boy next to me coughed from the cigarette smoke filling the car, I cracked the window and continued smoking it as I started the drive. Then I heard something that completely shocked me. "Could... I hit that?" I looked at Stanley and then back at the rode, "What? The cigarette?" He nodded and reached his hand out, "I want to start... taking risks.." I grinned and handed him the cig. "Oh?... what kind of risks?" After his first hit he coughed a lot, once he could breathe again he answered my question. "Well.. I want to do what everyone else my age is doing.. I want to smoke and drink and make mistakes and do things that are absolutely stupid and crazy-... I want to feel alive, like actually.. alive..." I couldn't help but grin "that's so cheesy... what is this? A high school coming of age movie?.. you want to feel alive so bad? I'll make you feel alive..." as we passed the 'welcome to derry' sign I sped up, pushing my foot further onto the gas peddle. Stanley sat up quickly, throwing the cigarette out of the window. "Jesus Christ Henry slow down-..." you could hear the engine starting to roar the faster I sped up. This road is almost always empty, mainly because no one really comes to Derry.. or even passes through it. There's hardly ever people who aren't from here passing through.

  "You want to feel alive? Stanley first you have to feel afraid before you can feel alive. We could crash any second.." of course I wouldn't crash though, I wouldn't be doing anything I think would seriously harm Stanley, but he doesn't know that. He held onto the arm rests tightly. "This isn't what I meant!!.." I rolled down the window next to me, air came rushing in as the speedometer passed 80 mph, slowly moving towards 85. "HENRY SLOW DOWN!" I slowed down but only back to 80 mph. I could hear the boy next to me breathing heavily. I laughed "we're practically flying down the high way!" He closed his eyes and held on for dear life. "THATS EXACTLY WHY YOU SHOULD SLOW THE F U C K DOWN HENRY!" I started speeding up again and just as I approached 90 mph, Stanley yelled. "STOP THE CAR RIGHT NOW BEFORE I THROW UP!" After deciding he had enough, I finally slowed the car down gradually. Eventually I pulled over on the side of the road, I'd say we're about 30 miles out of town. As soon as the car came to a stop Stanley got out of the car and started walking away. I got out and walked after him. "Oh cmon.. it wasn't that bad.." he didn't turn around, he just kept walking, "we could've crashed henry! I could have died!" I sped up a little, "ok?! We could die right now! The sun could fucking explode right now and we'd be dead in a few minutes... so what?! that was so fucking fun! Admit it, that rush felt amazing.. you're out of breath from how hard your heart was pounding right? From the adrenaline?" He turned to face me finally, he looked angry. "You.... you piece of shit! How is the fact that I can't fucking breathe right now a good thing?" I stood about a foot away from him, because of our height difference I have to look down at him. "Have you ever felt more alive?" He looked me in the eyes, it looked like he was searching my face to tell if I was joking or not. "Well-... well of course I feel alive I almost fucking died!" I smiled, "exactly! The reason everyone else gets so fucked up on drugs and alcohol and then makes stupid decisions is because the danger makes them feel alive.. you have to be willing to put yourself in dangerous situations that could mean getting hurt.." he stared into my eyes. "How can you expect me to trust you?" I laughed at him, "I don't expect you to trust me at all.. you have to trust yourself" he sighed and turned around, looked across the field we were currently standing in. After a minute he turned back around. "Fine... lets get back in the car.." I grinned and grabbed his hand, walking back to the car. Things are about to get wild.
