"We've seen Texas Chainsaw Massacre Friday night, you seen it?" Robin leaned against the stall door. "That movie's rated R my dad would never take me to see that." Finney threw his paper all into the stalls trash can. "Our uncle takes us to the drive in we see everything." he messed with my hair. "Get off" i laughed. "But man, that movie, it's the best ever" "Better than Enter the Dragon?" finney raised his eyebrow. "Okay maybe second best" he laughed.

"You know i'm gonna see a Bruce Lee movie one day like you know if it comes on television or something." "Yeah, yeah you will. Hey um you got time to stop at my house after school?" he asked. "Is it math again?" "Mr.Johnson talks too fast, he doesn't explain right not like you." Robin chuckled.
"Can you walk me through it, if i get another F im suspended." "Yeah sure." finney agreed.

Suddenly the door opened and a boy walked in and walked back out. "That's my cue." i laughed and gave each of them a fist tap and walked away.

"You're not coming with me?" Robin asked. "No i told Gwenny I'd walk her home, sorry but we can hang out tomorrow" i told him and walked the other way.

We walked together and Gwenny slid her hand across the fence. "There they are." i looked over and the red head boy from earlier was staring at finney. "What was that?" Gwenny asked. "Nothing." i said and kept walking. "I just remembered i'm staying over at Susie's tonight, you know what that means." "I'll look after dad." "Sorry y/n i totally forgot." she waved goodbye. "It's fine." i smiled and kept walking with Finney. "Want me to walk you home?" "I'm okay thank you though see you Finney." i smiled and crossed the street. "Bye!" he waved.

I walked down a small narrow street passing by old rickety houses. I had never gone this way before but it cut through a small neighborhood that led me to my house quicker. "Hey." i heard a raspy voice come from behind. "What the fuck!" i turned around and pushed Vance. "Shit! What the hell you'd do that for." he rubbed his shoulder. "You scared me." i laughed. "Right." he furrowed his eyebrows. "What are you doing here?" he asked. "I took a shortcut." "Where's Robin?" "We separated" i exaggerated.
"It getting late" he rubbed his neck. "Yeah." i awkwardly said. The tension in the air was so thick you could cut it with a knife. "Why are you being weird?" i laughed. "I'm not." he shrugged. "Sure." "I'm not!" he yelled. "Right. I'm agreeing with you." i mocked him. "You know what i was gonna walk you home to be nice but you can forget it." he scoffed. "Okay." i smiled and walked forward. "I'm being serious." he stayed back. "I'm sure you are!" i yelled. "Damn it." he groaned and caught up with me. "So Vance i don't really know a lot about you." "Niether do i." "But i asked first so go."

"What do you wanna know?" "Are these real?" i took one of his golden curls into my hand. "Yes they're real." he smacked my hand out of the way. "Do you have any siblings?" "Nope only child." "Something fun you wanna share?" He looked around for a moment. "I know every police officer by a first name basis now." he smiled. "Impressive." i laughed. "What about you?"

"Only child, I've only been detained by the police once and i talked to bruce before he was abducted"
But i didn't say that.

"Only child, i've only been detained by the police once and i'm actually not even supposed to be in middle school." i scoffed. "Yeah me neither, i've gotten held back like twice." "No way, how you get held back in 8th grade?" "I didn't think it was possible but proved myself wrong."
"Now tell me about this police situation."
"i beat someone up." "Details?" "He stole money from me and then tried hitting me when i wanted it back to be honest it was completely his fault but he was the store owners son so i got the cops called on me" i rolled my eyes. "Did you win?" "Always." i nudged his arm.

"we're here i gotta go." i smiled and went inside. "Hey Vance?" i yelled. He turned around and to face me. "Thanks for walking me home." i smiled. "Whatever loser." he smiled and continued walking the other way. I couldn't help but look at him go, not in a creepy way just making sure he left alright.

I closed my door as i walked in. "New boyfriend?" my mom asked me as soon as i turned to the couch. She was sitting there with a small handful of baby carrots ."God did you watch that whole thing?" i sighed and walked over to the living room. "Not the whole thing, just enough to see "Hey vance," she fluttered her eyelashes. "Thank you so much for walking me home."she said dramatically.
"You're a jerk." i laughed. "But you love me so what can you do." She took a bite of her snack and got up dusting her hands off.

-

"Hey Y/n!" My mom called from downstairs. "Yeah!" i yelled back. "Have you seen Robin today?" she called. I got up almost immediately walking downstairs. "Yeah i saw him before i walked home." i sighed. "He's not home." she laid her head against the wall.

"Mom, i'm sure he's fine. He's probably with finney i'll call him right now."
I took the phone and dialed finneys number in. "Hey." he whispered. "Why are you whispering?" i said quietly. "My dads asleep." "Is robin with you?" i asked him. "No he said he had some stuff to do today that we would study tomorrow." "Ok thanks." i hung up the phone.
"Well?" my mom opened her eyes to look at me. "He's not there but you know Robin he can take care of himself." i shrugged. "I know but Mena is absolutely freaking out." "I'll go out to look for him." i offered. "Yeah just don't be out too late, as soon as the street lights turn on i want you back in here."
"Got it." i headed out.

I unchained my bike from the pole outside my house. "Damn it Robin." i mumbled under my breath.

I looked left and right while riding through the neighborhood. "Robin!" i yelled not knowing if he heard me. "Swear to God." i cursed.

The street lights turned on, i sighed and began to peddle back home.

"I don't know where he is." i walked in. "Y/n you don't think..." "No, no way." i scoffed and opened the fridge taking out a bottle of water. "Menas freaking out i don't know what to do." my mom sighed and fell back onto the couch. "Look if he's not here by morning Mena can file a missing persons report. The police will take care of it but i'm 100 percent sure he'll turn up." i headed to the stairs. "Yeah your right." she nodded.
