Selfish || Vance Hopper

3. Game Day

It's Friday meaning we're all going straight to Finney's game after school.

"We should get some snacks and stuff before the game." Robin suggests.
"Yeah sure." I say.
"Grab 'n Go is right up here." Gwen says.
"Yeah and Y/n you get to see your favorite person ever." Finney says hitting my shoulder playfully. I roll my eyes.

We keep walking until we get there. From the window I can see Vance playing pinball.
"Great he's here." I say sarcastically.

We walk inside.
"Let's get our stuff." Gwen says.

I start walking and walk past Vance.
"Hey Chippy." He says not looking up.
"Vance." I say.
"Why don't you pick me up some chips? Same ones as last time." He says looking up as he has just finished his round.

"No, I didn't slap you today." I say smiling at him.
"Go ahead, as long as I get my free chips." He says pointing at his cheek. I roll my eyes and turn around.

"I'll also take this." He says pointing at a chocolate bar.
"Will it make you shut up?"
"I'll say yes if I can have it." He says.

"Are you guys done?" I ask turning to Finney, Gwen, and Robin who are all watching us.
"Yeah."
"Okay, me too."

We all get in line and Robin pays for his stuff.

"Im already getting them you don't have to follow me." I say to Vance.
"I know." He says. I look at him confused and he just smirks and looks away.

I get up and pay.

Once we've all payed we walk to the door.
"So where are you guys going?" He asks me.
"Finney's baseball game." I say. He nods.
"Good luck, I guess." He says. I hand him his chocolate bar.

"We're leaving now." I say we walk out
"Bye Chippy! And thanks again." He yells.
"Later dickwad!" I yell back. He flips me off.

We keep walking.
"Since when have you two been good?" Robin asks.
"I don't know, we both kinda just fuck with eachother for fun." I say.
"It's weird, he's like super nice to you." Finney says.
"No." I say laughing.
"He gave you a nickname." Gwen says.
"You guys are looking into it too much." I say.
"If you say so."

We finish walking to the game and we sit down while Finney runs in to start warming up.

We talk casually until the game starts.

Finney pitches and strikes a guy out. The three of us cheer for him.

The game ends and Finney's team won. He walks out and we congratulate him.

We all start walking home after. I turn towards my house and they keep going to theirs.

I walk inside.
"Hey Y/n." Tom says.
"Hi." I say.
"How was your day?" Mary asks.
"Good, we went to Finney's game." I say.
"Did they win?" Tom asks.
"Yeah." I laugh.

"Well I hate to ask you again but do you mind going and picking up cookies?" Mary asks me.
"No, of course not." I say.
"Thank you so much." She says.

I walk out and start to make my way to Grab 'n Go.

I get there and see Vance through the window.

I walk inside and notice Vance step away from the machine.
"I guess it's your turn you little shit." He says to the guy. He turns and sees me. He smiles.
"Chippy!" He yells.
"Dipshit!" I yell back.

He walks over.
"Awe, did you miss me?" He asks.
"No." I say confused.
"You had to. Two visits here in one day?" He says.
"My aunt wants cookies." I say.
"Of course she does." He laughs.
"You know you wouldn't see me here if you didn't spend all day here." I say. He shrugs.
"Have nothing better to do." He says.

I shake my head softly as I turn to walk down the cookie section.
"These are my favorite." Vance says pointing at a box.
"Okay, I'm trusting you." I say. He smiles gently.
"You should." He says handing them to me.

"So no free snacks for me?" He asks as we walk.
"Nope." I say popping the p.
"Well-." He starts to say before someone interrupts him.

"Hey." Some random guy says looking at me.
"Hi?" I say confused.
"I thought you were pretty so I'm here to talk to you." He says.
"Thanks." I say.

"Come on man!" A couple guys from the door yell. I assume they're his friends. "Get a grab of that ass!" They yell laughing. The guy infront of me laughs.

"Excuse me?" I say looking between them.
"Can you fuck off?" Vance says grabbing my arm and pulling me closer to him.

Is it bad I feel safer closer to him?

"What are you like her boyfriend or something?" The guy asks looking at Vance carefully.
"It's none of your fucking business! And you interrupted us!" He yells. I've never seen him yell like this. It's honestly terrifying.

"Look man, I just wanted to compliment her." He says raising his voice.
"And have your friends cheer you on obviously." I say. He looks at me really offendedly.

"You know I hate girls like you. You try so hard for guys to like you then get bitchy when they do." He says reaching out towards me.

Before I can even blink Vance pushes him. His friends run over.
"Shit, Vance!" I yell.

"Hey what's going on over here?!" The cashier yells.
"Shit." I mutter.

"If he can't maybe we can." One of his friends say to me. I take a step back and hit the chips.

Vance throws the guy off and turns to us.

"Any of you shits lay a finger on her and I will fucking kill you." Vance says. The guys look between us.

"Alright all of you get out!" The cashier yells.
"No." The first guy says.
"Do it or I'm calling the cops!"

The boys run out. I let out a shaky breath and look at Vance.

"Are you guys buying something?"
"Yeah these." I say.

We follow him to the counter and I pay.

We walk out and I look at Vance. He looks so pissed.

"You okay?" He asks. I nod.
"Yeah, thank you." I say. He nods.
"They're fucking assholes." He says breathing heavily and clenching his fists.

I put a hand on his arm.
"Vance, relax." I say. He looks at me carefully. "Everything is okay."
"Okay." He says.

"Do you want me to walk you home?" He asks.
"Yeah, I'd like that." I say noticing it's almost dark.

He walks with me until we get to my house.

I turn to him.
"Thank you Vance." I say.
"See you later, Chippy." He says.

I lean close to him and kiss his cheek.
"Bye asshole." I say walking in.
