"We have the same car" Billy said with a shit eating grin and pointing towards a blue 1979 Chevrolet Camaro "I guess we do but, mines better"I say patting him on the shoulder and getting inside my car and then I drove off to my house.

I was getting ready to go to the arcade with Steve I had on jean shorts that show my ass cheeks a little and I had a bright pink and blue tank top and I just left my hair how it was I put lip gloss on and some mascara then I was off.

That's the outfit⬆️

As I was walking down the steps I heard my parents arguing I didn't really care about it at this point I checked the time it was 4:45 so while I was walking down the steps I grabbed my keys that were in the living where my parents were arguing my parents heard my keys and stopped arguing "WHERE DO YOU THINK YOUR GOING"my mother yells I rolled my eyes "I'm going out"I say without a care in the world "No you aren't you are staying home and cleaning this filthy house"My mother says "I HAVE BEEN CLEANING IT EVER SUNCE WE MOVED IN GIVE ME A FUCKING BREAK" I shouted I was so irritated that's when I noticed Billy outside in-front of his car the curtains were open to the whole living room before I could say anything my dad grabs me by the collar and slammed me against the wall I felt 100 needles on the side of my face and I noticed that he just slapped me across the face"You will be staying home and cleaning while I am busy"My dad says I was so irritated I didn't think twice to say what I was gonna say "BUSY WITH GOING TO THE BAR AND GETTING DRINK WHILE CHEATING ON MOM?" I shout at him his face looked pale I got away from his grip and I grabbed my keys and drove to the arcade.

It's already 5:10 I've been waiting a little just as soon as I was about to leave I felt somebody grab my hand "sorry I'm late" Steve says "Wait you've been here this whole time?"I said upset because I had to yell at my parents for this and when I get home I'm gonna get my ass whipped "Uh yeah I had to help some of my friends" he said with a sad smile "Let me meet them" I say confidently "Wha-" Steve says surprised by my actions "I said let me meet them"I say with annoyance in my voice "Okay alright then" Steve says and puts his hands up in defeat as we were walking towards them "So you see they aren't exactly our ag-" Steve try's to say something but gets cut off by someone "STEVEEE" A kid says with curly dirty blonde curls "yep there is one of them" Steve says with a nervous smile "Steve, have you seen my-" the blonde kid pauses and looks at me "Oh hello I'm Dustin" he says with his hand out "I'm josey" I say "Steve is she your new girlfriend and if so then I just wanted to say-" before he can finish his sentence Steve interrupts him "She is not my girlfriend she is my new friend" Steve says pointing towards me "Yes just friends"I say with a thumbs up and I try to smile but I wince in pain I forgot that my dad slapped me so a bruise is starting to spread on my cheek now "Woah josey are you alright" Dustin says with his 2 hands up "yep I'm alright I just uh got into a fight" I say with a nervous laugh wincing in pain again "Josey I think you need an ice pack let me go get one I'll be right back" Steve says while running off. It was now just me and Dustin "So uh do you like dnd?by any chance" I say trying not to smile because of my bruise after I said that his eyes seem to sparkle "WOAH uh I mean uh yes duh yeah I do"Dustin says obviously trying to act cool I heard running foot steps so I looked behind me and I saw Steve running towards us with a ice pack and a big smile and then he says "I GOT THE ICE PAC-" but he got cut off by him tripping over a cord that connects to a game and he fell face first I couldn't hold it any longer me and Dustin started dying laughing Steve got up and walked towards us "STEVE DON'T TRIP" I say jokingly he flinches and looks down then looks back up at me, me and Dustin kept laughing "Hahaha so funny here's your ice pack loser"Steve says rolling his eyes at us "Thanks Stevey" I say laughing "She's a keeper Steve try not to mess this one up" Dustin says to Steve "WE AREN'T DATING" Steve says "Thanks kid" I say smiling with the ice pack on my cheek "Anyways uhm Josey is it alright if I stay at your place?" Steve asks with a nervous smile meanwhile my smile faded thinking about my parents "It's okay you don't have to say yes" Steve says "Oh no it's oaky you can stay at my place kiddo" I say to him "You do realize that I'm the same age as you right?" Steve says rolling his eyes.
