———— Vance's Pov

I'm walking home. It feels so strange. I feel strange.

She kissed my cheek. It was such a simple gesture so why am I so flustered over it?

I keep walking. I can't actually like her. She's super annoying.

But then again I was ready to beat up a group of random guys for her. I would do that for anyone else, wouldnt I?

God this girl has me so confused.

I walk up to the door. I look outside and see a black van. Confused I shut the door.

"You're back earlier that usual." Mom says.
"Yeah." I say.
"Did something happen?" Dad asks. I shake my head in response.

"No, I walked a friend home though." I say. I'm not sure if we'd even be considered friends. She slapped me after all.
"Oh cool, what's his name?" Dad asks suddenly interested on my friends since I don't keep many.
"Her names Y/n." I say.

"Oh a girl? What's she like?" Mom asks.
"She's annoying. She slapped me." I say.
"What'd you do?" Dad asks.
"I poured my coke on her during lunch."
"Oh." Mom says.

"Anything else about this girl?" Dad asks. "She got looks?" I look away from him.
"I mean she's pretty. Her eyes are great." I say. Mom smiles.

"Well I'm going up to my room now." I say before they can ask any more questions.

I walk up the stairs and into my room. I fall into the bed. What is going on with me?

After a bit of thinking my phone rings. I pick it up.

"Hey asshole." The voice I recognize so well say.
"Hey Chippy." I say. I chose to ignore the smile that's now across my face.
"Sorry if you're busy or something I was bored." She says.
"No no no. You're fine." I say.

I pull the phone away to take a deep breath.

"Okay, so what are you doing?" She asks.
"Nothing really, just laying in bed." I say.
"Me too."

"Well, I would like to thank you again." She says softly. "I don't know what I would've done without you there."
"Well, I'm glad that I was."
"I owe you a snack." She says laughing softly on the other end. I laugh too.
"Good how about tomorrow?" I ask.
"Depends on my very busy schedule and when we go." She says.

"Well, how about I go to your house at like 2?" I ask.
"I don't know, I might have to go talk to my other chair stealer." I chuckle softly.

"Yeah, I might have plans with this other random girl who slapped me." I say. She laughs.
"I just checked my calendar and it seems that 2 works just fine, it's your lucky day." She says.
"Okay, well I'll be there." I say.
"I'll be expecting you." She says. I can feel my smile grow.

"Who are you talking to?" Mom yells.
"No one!" I yell. I can hear Y/n laugh. "Shut the hell up." I whisper to her only making her laugh more.

Once she's calmed down she speaks again.
"Well, I should go then, sounds like your mommy wants you." She says ending in a baby voices.
"You think you're so funny, don't you?"
"I am."
"Sure."

"Goodnight Dickhead." She says.
"Goodnight Chippy." I say before she hangs up the call.

I pull the phone away and smile. I suppose I'm seeing her tomorrow.

I put the phone away and lay back down.

After a couple seconds the door opens.
"Hey how was your talk with her?" Mom asks. I roll over not wanting this conversation.
"I'm not talking about her to you." I say.
"You like her don't you?" She asks.
"Fuck off!" I groan.

"Okay, okay." She says.
"It's okay to like her, the crazy ones are the most fun." Dad says.
"Can you guys just shut the fuck up?" I ask sitting up. "You're being so fucking weird."

They walk out and I just lay there for a bit.

I end up falling asleep. I wake up early and take a shower.

Once I finish getting ready it's about noon. I walk downstairs. Mom hands me some food. I sit and eat.

"Are you going to the Grab 'n Go today?" Mom asks. I nod.
"Yeah." I say.
"Are you going to be with that boy?" She asks.
"Mark? You know I can't stand him. No." I say.
"Okay." She says.
"I'm going with Y/n." I say already prepared for the questions.

"To play pinball?"
"No we buy stuff and talk." I say.
"Awe okay, you guys should go see a movie or go walk around or something." She suggests.
"Uhh okay." I say.
"Here." She says pulling out a $20. "Now use this well." She says.

I smile and take it.
"Thank you mom."
"Of course my hunny bear." I push her hand away and go back upstairs.

I look in the mirror and fix up my hair.

I look at the time and it's almost 2.

I walk out of the house and start to make my way to hers. I'm excited and slightly nervous. Why am I nervous?

I'm now on her street.

I walk up to her door and knock.

After a couple seconds it opens. It's a woman.

"Hello." I say trying to sound kind.
"Are you here for Y/n?" She asks.
"Uh yeah." I say.
"I'm coming!" I hear her yell from inside.

She walks outside and I instantly feel the smile form across my face. I ignore it.

"Bye Aunt Mary." She says before grabbing my arm and pulling me away.
