Monday
You thought that you would never hear that final bell ring. When it finally did you were out of your seat and almost on a sprint out of the classroom. You were so ready to just go home and not worry about anything. You would probably end up going out later that night to hang out with Randy seeing as he was off work for the night, something you picked up at lunchtime.
In the mixt of your thoughts, you heard the sound of an engine approaching where you walked on the sidewalk. You looked over your shoulder at what car it was thinking that it could be Tatum but of course, it was Stu's car driving your way. You rolled your eyes as the boy drove up next to you slowing down his car to match your pace.
"Y/N, you want a ride home?" Stu yelled out the window as you looked at him then kept walking not giving the boy a response as he sped up to catch you.
"Y/N I know you can hear me" He spoke up as you kept walking a little more 'pep in your step' as the boy soon was pulled into a driveway in front of you forcing you to stop as he got out of the car raising his hands in a 'what-the-fuck' manner towards you as you raised yours in the same way back at him.
"Okay, you ignored me in Calculus which I get, probably were just tired, I let it slide" Stu spoke as he was slowly making his way around the front of his car towards where you stood.
"Then ignoring Billy at lunch was kinda crazy and not even acknowledging me was even crazier" Stu spoke as you looked at him wondering where this long-winded explanation was going even though you knew ultimately it was going to end in him asking you what was wrong.
"Then just now, you never turned down a ride home before, so what's up?" Stu spoke as he now stood just before you looking down towards you while you avoided his eye. You ultimately looked up meeting his eyes when you decided to speak.
"Just thought that that was our new thing, ignoring each other you know" You spoke in a bit of a hurt tone as you watched him stand a bit taken aback by the words that just tumbled out of your mouth. You chuckled at the boys reaction.
"It's been almost a year Stu, how is it I can talk to everyone else except for you and Billy since being gone?" You spoke irritation seathing in your voice as you watched the speechless boy standing in front of you fumbling for words that were going to exit his mouth, maybe to save his ass, but you were already going again.
"I have called and left messages multiple times so I don't understand how you could have possibly been just ignoring me, then thinking we were just going to be perfectly fine when I came back-" You spoke spewing off before Stu cut you off leaving you to just sit there and listen.
"I didn't know if you were ever coming back Y/N!, I was so dependent on you and I couldn't let myself stay dependent on you just in case you decided to never call back, It's not like I could just walk to your house and make you talk to me" Stu spoke to you as you looked at him who seemed like he was hurt by you almost accusing him of not caring about your relation- friendship anymore.
"Stu, you know that I wouldn't, not to you" You spoke as there was a hitch in your voice, you looked at the tall boy who stood in front of you. he looked as if he was planning on saying more but you found yourself just pushing past him. You thought you were done with that conversation when Stu grabbed your hand pulling you back to him this time into a hug.
You originally tried to fight to get out of the hug seeing as you were mad at this tall pretty boy with whom you used to be so close. Eventually, your arms were wrapped around him as well and you felt his chin rest upon your head. "I never meant to hurt you Y/N... I'm so sorry" Stu spoke as he released you from the hug that you were originally imprisoned in... but now you found yourself missing the warmth of the boy's body against yours.
"Do you forgive me?" Stu spoke as he looked you in the eyes putting on puppy eyes as he looked at you. You wanted to forgive him right then and there and go back to your friendship, but maybe what you needed was for him to genuinely prove that you mattered to him and that he wasn't just doing this so he had more attention on him.
"I need some time Stu" You spoke as you gave the boy a weak smile walking past him and past his car that sat in a random neighbor's driveway. You felt bad for leaving the boy standing alone but he deserved it after ignoring you for almost a whole year. What's a couple more days to allow him to prove that he deserved you as... a friend...
...
You had gotten home a couple of hours ago and had been just sitting in your living room watching movies when Randy showed up. You smiled as you watched the boy walk in through your front door with a pack of beers and a bag of potato chips. Your eyes skimmed the boy who walked in with no one following him watching as he closed the door behind him taking a seat next to you putting everything he brought on the coffee table that sat in front of the couch that you both were now sitting upon.
"Hey Randy" You spoke simply as you wrapped your arms around the boy's neck hugging him as he hugged you tightly back. You two hadn't had much catch-up time together making this the perfect opportunity to hear all about what had happened while you were gone.
"Hey pretty girl, it's so nice to finally have another movie night together... you are the only one who watches horror movies with me" He complained a bit as you laughed in response. You have missed the little shpeals that he would give about the rules about death for horror movies.
"What are the rules this time?" You spoke with a smile playing on your lips as you got up making your way to the kitchen to make some popped corn for the two of you. Your dad had gone into the station to start his first twenty-four-hour shift just an hour prior so you and Randy were the only people in the house.
"Same as usual-" He spoke before you cut him off chanting the rule to him.
"No sex!, No drugs!, No Alcohol!, No Leaving!" You yelled as you heard Randy laugh at your enthusiasm. you couldn't believe that you had remembered them after such a long time away but here you were reciting them with little to no cares in the world. The popcorn had just begun popping when you heard another knock on the door.
"Randy, who is that?" You asked from the kitchen as you were watching the popcorn making sure that it wouldn't burn you heard Randy getting up from the couch and opening the door.
"Parties here!" You heard Tatum chant as you smiled peaking out the door to see Sidney and Tatum run-in with a bottle of Vodka in hand. Tatum placed the drink on the coffee table as the two of them ran up to you hugging you tightly as you hugged them back with a huge smile plastered on your face.
"You invited them?" You asked looking towards Randy who looked just as confused as you did but then Tatum nipped that in the but before explaining their train of thought.
"We thought we would come and have one of our special movie nights, you know just the six of us" Tatum spoke with a bright smile on her face you smiled in return before realizing that six... six meant that, almost like clockwork, in walked Billy and Stu. You were lost in your thoughts watching them walk in before you heard the popcorn rapidly popping making you run over to where the popcorn sat taking it off the burner.
"We can now start the party!" Stu announced as he was assumedly cut off by Tatum kissing him. You were a bit preoccupied with the popcorn while their entrance was happening but you assumed it was about as special as ants entering an ant hill. You poured the popcorn in the bowl feeling a body pressed behind you making you jump a little bit as you saw Stu's hands taking the popcorn from in front of you.
He looked at you then over you before he returned to the living area as you gained your composure making your way back into the living area where the couch was now overtaken by the couples and Randy was moved to the oversized chair. You chuckled gently to yourself as you turned off the lights grabbed a beer from the table and you took a seat in the oversized chair next to Randy as he drooped his arms around you.
"Hey did you hear that Steve is throwing a party tomorrow night?" Tatum spoke excitedly as she looked amongst the group. You nodded your head but you were still very much interested in the movie that was playing before you.
"Oh we are so there" Stu spoke in a girly tone back to Tatum making you giggle a bit, quickly you realized composing yourself again as you adjusted yourself in your seat next to Randy.
After a bit more conversation about the party that would be happening at Steve's the next night you slowly found that you were drifting to sleep in Randy's arms. You had a long day, your first day back, your first day being mad at your best friend, things were tough. Your head rested on the boy's shoulder as you yawned allowing your eyes to flutter shut as your body fell into a peaceful state of sleep...
