I stood in the kitchen with a tired expression on my face as I stirred coffeemate into my coffee.
I don't seem to be getting much sleep lately, not for any reason in particular, I just sleep late and wake up early.
My eyes quickly shot up to the door where my dad had walked in with two grocery bags in his hands.
"Hey hun!" He exclaimed with the smile I adored "I got groceries... and bread"
"Thanks pa" I said with a smile as I walked up to him, wrapping my arms around him once I was close enough.
"Alright you gotta help me with these" He chuckled, handing me the bags "They're too heavy for your old man"
"You walked all the way back with these?" I asked as I placed them on the counter
"Yeah" He replied while scratching the back of his neck "Look what I got you"
I pulled the bag handles wide open and a colorful red box came into view, I immediately knew what it was. "YOU GOT ME FRUIT LOOPS?" I exclaimed before engulfing him in another hug.
I know to you it might not seem like much but to me it did. It's no secret me and my dad weren't rich. After my mom left, my dad started drinking a lot, one thing led to another and bam, next thing we knew he became an unemployed alcoholic who sold his house and moved us into a smaller one. It stayed that way for my first 5 years of life. It was hard watching my dad go through all that but he's a lot better now, he works at a junk yard which pays very little but we're pulling through. Ray talked to his boss and managed to get me a job at motorz a couple months ago which helped a lot. I'm actually really proud of how far my dad has come. He on the other hand blames himself for everything that went wrong in our life.
I felt guilt wash over me once I realized that the reason he had to go and waste his money was because I was acting like an ungrateful brat and made him feel bad. I really do hate myself sometimes- or most of the time.
"I love you" I told him as I released my grip on him
He placed a kiss on my forehead and mumbled a "I love you more"

After helping my dad put away the groceries, we made pancakes and ate together then he had to go to work. I was currently in my room looking for a clean shirt to wear, a task easier said than done. For me at least.
I gagged as I took a whiff of one of the shirts I had picked up from the ground, it smelled of sweat and weed, not a very pretty combo.
I seriously need to do my laundry
As I was rummaging through all the clothes on the ground, I glanced at myself in the mirror and realized that the shirt I was currently wearing was pretty clean. Shrugging, I pushed off my pijama shorts and pulled my denim shorts off my shoulder before throwing them on.
I sat on my bed as I pulled socks over my feet and put my shoes on. And with that I was ready to go, I glanced at myself in the mirror one last time, running my hands through my hair to look more presentable, then I left to go to motorz.

"Have a good day" I told the customer with a welcoming smile as I watched him walk out "So then what happened?"
"Well..." Ray mumbled "She told me that she liked me. As a friend"
I couldn't help but laugh at that, Ray really needs to work on his flirting
"What did you tell her again?" I asked him
"THAT I LIKED HER! I TOLD YOU" He yelled, throwing his hands up in the air
"Ok but how? How'd you say it"
"How do you think I said it? Theres only one way to say it" He replied. At that, Ruben laughed
"See ray even Ruben knows more about this than you. What does that tell you?" I teased as I shook my head
"What? Am I supposed to have my dick in my hands while I tell her?" He asked, causing Sunny to crack a smile
I facepalmed at his words "I don't know how to help you Ray, I'm not good at this stuff either. Ask fuckshit when he comes"
"Clearly" Sunny mumbled loud enough for everyone to hear.
I sighed at how tiring it was being around someone who hates you all the time. I didn't even have it in me to talk back in that moment. I was already in a bad mood and didn't feel like arguing.
"Ask me f*g im right here" Ruben said as he nudged Ray's shoulder
"How about we don't ask the 9 year old who says slurs?" I suggested
"IM NOT NINE" He groaned as he ran his hands over his face
"9, 14. Potato potaato" I mumbled as I turned my stool left and right
"Bruh you're only like 2 years older than me"
"Well technically I turn 17 in a couple months so..."
"My problem's solved now by the way" Ray said sarcastically, crossing his arms
"Look, tell her again but actually tell her dont be a pussy" I told him while gesturing with my hands
"Yeah that makes sense" He rolled his eyes
"Dude just kiss her" Sunny shrugged
"Ok" Ray said with a nod "Ok yeah. I can do that"
"Whats up bitches" Fuckshit exclaimed as he walked into the shop
"We were just helping Ray get with lila" I replied
"We? Bro you didn't do shit" Sunny said, earning a scoff from me
"Aww don't get mad" Fuckshit giggled as he wrapped his arms around me and placed a sloppy kiss on my forehead
"Get off of me" I groaned, shoving him away which caused him to stumble backwards and knock over two boxes of equipment that were piled on top of each other
We all went quiet as we stared at the mess on the floor. Fuck.
"Im not cleaning this shit up" Fuckshit declared
"Huh?" I asked with a dead face "you made the mess so you clean it"
"Are you serious right now" Fuckshit questioned as he turned to me "you pushed me"
"I GAVE YOU A LITTLE NUDGE ITS NOT MY FAULT YOU'RE SO WEAK" I exclaimed in disbelief. To be fair, it was my fault, but I was NOT about to clean it.
"Bro you pushed him why would he clean it?" Sunny asked with furrowed eyebrows
"For realll" Fuckshit stressed, using the most annoying voice known to mankind
"Ruben be a good little bitch and clean the mess" Ray said, shoving Ruben onto the floor like he was a twig
"Yo stop" Ruben snapped before he got up and stormed out the back of the store
I furrowed my eyebrows at Ray and he did the same at me. Everyone kind of knew Ruben was a moody kid but that was a little extreme, even for Ruben. Guess I'm not the only one in a bad mood.
"I'll go check on him" Ray announced after a short pause
I nodded and he walked out, leaving me, Fuckshit and sunny to decide who was going to clean up the mess. Clearly the odds were against me
"You keep pissing people off. Why do you still even come here no one wants you" Sunny sighed as he got up to clean the mess
"If y'all are gunna start fighting again don't do it here" Fuckshit told us as he sat down and turned on the tv
"Leave the mess alone I'll clean it" I said while getting up from my stool and tugging at his shirt. If I had let him clean the mess then he would've been the bigger guy. Not today.
"And no one wants you around here either but you still show your face" I mumbled while picking up a pair of wheels and throwing them back into the box
"Everyone wants me here" He replied as he took a seat before lightly nudging a wrench towards me with his foot
I looked up at him after I picked up the wrench and put it in the box "name one person"
"Easy, Fuckshit" He said as we both turned to Fuckshit
"Ay don't look at me" he put his arms up in surrender
I sighed and continued to pack things into the boxes. Today's gunna be a loooong day.

After Fourthgrade showed up at the shop, we all decided to get something to eat and went to mcdonalds.
"When I was skatin away her eyes followed and dropped straight to my dick!" Fuckshit exclaimed, gesturing to his crotch
"Ay but you know that girl was looking at me forreal" Ray argued
"N**** no. You know I got these looks son" Fuckshit said with a smirk while rubbing his chin as his mouth was full of fries, causing me to burst into laughter
"What looks" Ray asked with a chuckle
"Im an 8" Fuckshit declared
"An 8?" Ray exclaimed with disbelief in his voice
"No way in HELL you look better than me" Fuckshit shrugged, leaning back into his seat
"I will BLESS you with a 6 n a half" Ray said as he copied fuckshit's actions, leaning back into his seat
"A 6?" Fuckshit asked, not believing what he was hearing
"And a half!" Ray justified
"So you think you look better than me?" Fuckshit asked with crossed arms
"One hundred percent, its not even a question" Ray responded, nodding
"Tell me the number" Fuckshit demanded while leaning onto the table
Ray paused before saying "I cant do it to you"
"Whats your number? Just say a number- its one word" Fuckshit groaned, fed up with Ray's ego
"Im a humble 9" Ray confessed, driving fuckshit crazy
"A 9! OH MY GOD!" Fuckshit yelled, bringing his hands to his mouth in disbelief
I chuckled to myself at their stupidity as I dipped a french fry in ketchup before popping it into my mouth
"Alright lets settle this" Sunny spoke up "Im a 10, and you two are...." He trailed off "7 n a half"
I once again burst into laughter. This boy cant be serious.
"Alright" Ray sat up straight "Miley, rate us"
"Fuck no" My laughter came to an end "Not me"
"Yes you. You're the only girl here, you know what girls are into" Fuckshit replied
"She doesnt look like a girl" Sunny mumbled while clearing his throat
I stopped myself from flipping him off and turned to Ray. "First of all, different girls have different types, I'm not the female body president. I don't speak for every girl on the planet and second of all, you guys are my friends, it would be weird"
"Can you stop over analyzing everything and just rate us" Ray groaned
"Fine okay" I sighed "Ray's an 8" I looked over at Fuckshit "8" Then at fourthgrade "7.5" I skipped Sunny and looked at Ruben "5" And with that, I crossed my arms and leaned back into my seat as I watched world war 3 break out right in front of me.
They asked for it didnt they?
After watching them almost rip each other's faces off for what felt like forever with a smile tugging at my lips, Ray turned to me with furrowed eyebrows. "Wait a minute" He caught everyone's attention "What about sunny?"
A bunch of "oooo"s irrupted from the rest, making me mentally curse Ray for putting me under the spot light
I slowly looked over at sunny who had been quiet for a while and then back at the rest "I'm not doing it, he's annoying as fuck"
"No you have to" Fuckshit shook his head with a smirk on his lips
I looked back at Sunny and he was looking at me with an expression I couldn't read.
"Zero" I shrugged, earning a bunch of groans and a scoff from Sunny. Does he ever stop scoffing?
"Come on you have to be honest" Ray told me "If it was your first time meeting him, what would you rate him?"
I turned back to Sunny and began taking in his features. Narrow green eyes, sharp cheekbones that could cut through glass and a jawline even sharper, perfectly shaped brown eyebrows, a nose that pulled everything together. I hated to admit it, but this man was sculpted by a Greek god. He must've really taken his time on this one.
I'd never say it out loud though.
"Helloo??" Fuckshit said as he waved his hand over my face, snapping me back into reality
"HUh?"
"You were supposed to rate him..." Fourthgrade mumbled
"Oh. Right." I looked back at at Sunny who had the smuggest grin on his face. I hate him.
"He's just not my type" I told them with a shrug.
"Oh my godd" Ray groaned while rolling his eyes
"Alright im bored" Fuckshit announced as he grabbed his skateboard and got up
I smiled to myself at his short attention span
"So I woke up this morning right?" Ray said, changing the subject "my baby sister, she shat herself"
"Aaaand we're done with the chicken nuggets" I said as I pushed them away from me
"oooo" Ruben smirked while pulling them to his side of the table
"Thats not even the worst part" He stated as he leaned in closer to us all "my mom, SHE MADE ME CHANGE THE DIAPER" He exclaimed as he looked at us with disbelief "Can you believe that? She said I needed to start practicing for when I get my own kid. IM NOT HAVING KIDS MA"
We all chuckled at his words but stopped moments later when we heard fuckshit say "ohh fuck, my bad"
We immediately turned around and saw him standing in front of a guy who didn't look too pleased
"The fuck?" The guy mumbled
So heres the thing about fuckshit. He does NOT tolerate any form of disrespect, especially not from strangers. I could already see where this was going.
"Wassup n****" Fuckshit fired back
"Oh shit" Ruben chuckled
The guy stood there silently for a moment, looking dumbfounded
"What the fuck" He mumbled again, making fuckshit even more furious
"You good?" Fuckshit asked while getting up in his face
He went quiet again, but this time looking at us almost as if he was studying his environment to see whether or not this was a fight he could win. In case you were wondering, It's not, if he so much as lays a hand on fuckshit, Ray would beat his shit.
"Wassup n****" Fuckshit yelled again as he stepped forward, forcing the guy to take a step backward
"What you tryna do n**** you just standing there" Fuckshit questioned with furrowed eyebrows
The guy was still silent, trying his best to not lash out
"I think he might've shit himself" I mumbled as I nudged fourthgrade with my foot "Ray you wanna change his pampers?" I asked, making the rest giggle "so you can practice for when you-"
"You just gunna stand here pussy ass n****?" Fuckshit chuckled bitterly, losing his patience
"Ay white boy you gunna let this blonde bitch talk to you like that?" Ray yelled
Fuckshit flicked his nose up with his finger, making all of us laugh "What? You not gon say shit? What you gunna do?"
Finally, fuckshit brought his hand up to the guy's face and pushed it back while laughing, and with that, the guy stomped away.
(The guy isn't Sunny's brother here btw)

"He's right behind you bitch!" My dad yelled at the girl on the tv screen who was about to get murdered as he stuffed a hand full of popcorn in his mouth
All of a sudden, screams were spilling from the girl's mouth and I couldn't help but laugh at my dad imitating her. He could do a really good white girl impression.
"I told her" He sighed as he sat down the bowl that was once full of popcorn
"Alright" He clapped his hands together "Time for bed kiddo"
"Alright" I groaned. I really didn't want to sleep, but my dad had been begging me to for the past 3 hours, each time I suggest we watch another movie and I was finally giving in
I kissed him on the forehead once I got up then walked into my room and shut the door behind me. I took my shorts off and changed into my pajama shorts before collapsing onto my bed and falling fast asleep minutes later.
