How To Not End Up Dead ~~ A Vance HopperXReader Story

Cute Pants

"Get on." he told me after starting the thing. I got on the back which meant i had to rest my feet on the bars and i had nothing for my hands to grip onto. "Here" he grabbed my hands putting them around his waist. "Right." i pressed my lips together. "And we're off" he pressed on the gas racing out of the school lot. "Holy shit" i yelled as the wind blew my hair out of my face. "Where are we heading" he asked me. "Turn left when i say so." i waited patiently for the turn to come up. "Turn" i said and he took a sharp turn causing my to grip onto his jean jacket. "What the fuck" i pulled his hair which was sticking out from the helmet. He laughed a genuine laugh which was nice but unsettling at the same time. "Ok pull in" i told him and we stopped in front of the thrift store. He got off first and helped me off second taking my helmet from me. "You go ahead inside i've gotta chain this up." he nodded his head towards the store. "Got it."

"I should've never brought you here." he sighed and rubbed his head almost massaging it. "You didn't answer my question. Are these jeans too long? I feel like they make my legs look stubby which would be completely unproportionate  to my torso." "They look like the last 4 pairs you've tried on." he groaned and laid down on the couch that sat in front of the fitting rooms. "Maybe we need to find you something to try." i said. "You're joking." he scoffed. "I'm actually not." i walked over to the men's section and picked out a pair of wide leg jeans which looked about his size, a shirt that was similar to his and baggy sweater. "Here you go." i handed him the clothes. "I'm not wearing this." "Just try." i pushed him into the dressing room and waited on the couch. After a few minutes he came out and stood in front of the mirror awkwardly. "I look like an idiot"
"A well dressed idiot" i added and turned him to look at me. "What are we going to do about your hair?" i mutter to myself.
"Woah, i don't know about this" he seemed scared. "hold on." i went into my backpack and grabbed hair gel. "Why  do you just have that?" "How do you think Robin keeps his hair so fabulous?" i laughed. "Right Robin, your boyfriend?" he looked at me. "Oh God no, he's my cousin." i chuckled and took some gel into my hands and took some of his undefined curls and joined them together. "And finney?" he asked scrunching his nose as i was pulling his hair a bit. "Just a friend." i coiled his curls in my fingers trying to make them more neat. "ok." i finished and turned him to look in the mirror. "i still look stupid." "Yeah i think that's just you" i shrugged and walked over to my bag putting the hair gel back in. "I'm taking this off and then we're leaving." "Ugh why." "I gotta get you back before the baseball game." he said from inside the dressing room.
"Right. Are you gonna come?" "No i have a feeling Robin doesn't like me very much."
"That's just because he thinks you're dangerous." "But you're cool." "I know." he shrugged.

"That was fun, we should hang out more" i nudged his side and walked towards the school. "Oh please no you're so annoying" he rolled his eyes. "Shut up" i laughed and he smiled. "Y/n!" finney yelled and came towards me running with his baseball uniform on. He looked up at Vance and gulped like a character from a cartoon. "Hello." he said quickly and turned back to me. "Robin was looking for you but we can meet up still cause he hasn't left yet" he said almost holding his breath. "Yeah for sure." i grabbed my backpack from Vance. "See you." i nodded and walked with finney. "Vance Hopper?" he asked me. "He's not as bad as people make him seem." "Right no i know" he nodded. "Finney." i looked at him. "I said i know!" he laughed.

"And where were you?" Robin looked at me crossing his arms like my mother. "I got lost" i lied. "Right well we have to get going Finneys riding with us." he said opening the door to the truck and letting me in.

"Yes finney, Nice finney" Gwenny yelled. I had met her like an hour ago but i swear she's my soulmate. Another strike. The black haired boy swung his bat around a little before standing steady again. Finney looked over somewhere and threw again this time the other boy hit it out of the park. "No." i gasped letting out the breath i had held in.

He dropped the bat and ran a steady jog around the bases. Finney's face drops and he walks back to his team getting ready to shake hands. I walked to Finney along with Gwenny. "You were great." i assured him. "Donna walked away." he looked at where she was standing. "Hey , dude. Man your arm is mint. You almost had me." Bruce smiled. "Good game." "Good game" he nodded acknowledging me and gwenny and ran off. "At least he was nice about it" i smacked finney's arm and walked off. "Y/n is it cool if we call off plans today i gotta help mena with laundry." Robin sighed. "Yeah it's cool i'll be walking around." i smiled. "Nice."

I walked around the neighborhood and got tapped on the shoulder. "Hey." he smiled. "Y/n right?" "Yeah how'd you know?" i asked. "People talk, not just anyone hangs around Vance Hopper." he joked. "You're Bruce." i confirmed. "Yeah how'd you know?" "It's hard to miss people chanting your name." i smiled referencing to the game earlier. "Oh well since your new and everything i just wanted to say anything you need, i'm right here" "Thank you that's really nice i'll be sure to ask" i laughed and looked up at the sky as a small rocket flew over us. "Finney" i chuckled. "Baseball boy?" "Yeah that's the one" "He's good i almost lost my cool there." "He is good, i just wish he could see that." "Do you wanna maybe go grab something to eat i know a place that has really good burgers" he asked.
"Im supposed to be going home right now" i started "I mean it's fine if you can't" he rubbed the back of his neck. "How about tomorrow? After school." i added. "Yeah that'd be great" he smiled. "Cool" i smiled back and started heading home. "Cool."

I turned the corner to see a black van pulling around to where Bruce was and kept walking forward waiting to meet Robin back at home.
