hope you guys enjoy!

You couldn’t believe you were actually about to hangout with Steve. He was the coolest guy you’ve met so far despite what he had done to Jonathan’s camera, it felt so good to be able to call him a friend. You were making your way to the mall, a quiet ride that allowed your mind to think. You were the happiest you’ve been in months. 

Making it to the parking lot you find a good place to park your car. You saw that Steve was already there sitting on top of his car. You felt bad for making him wait. You couldn’t have been that late. You got out of your car and waved at him. You were only three lanes apart. He noticed you and immediately pushed himself off the car. You guys walked over to each other, you half running “hi!” You said and Steve said at the same time “Hey! You made it” you smiled before making a sorry face. “Was I late?” He shrugged “just by 10 minutes” you’re eyes go wide “10 minutes? Wait are you serious? I’m so sorry.” He laughs at your panicking. “Hey, hey, I was just joking it was just 3 minutes.” You glare at him jokingly “not funny.” He only shrugs with a chuckle.

The mall was not as full as other times. It was the perfect time to be there. You guys walked around for a while trying to find a good place to get food. “I know this place here that sells bomb ass food…but it’s on the other side of the mall.” You said trying to break the silence that was starting to get too loud. “Yeah? Is it worth it?” He asked before continuing “im starving you sure you wanna wait that long?” You looked over at him like he said something offensive. He raises his hands like he’s been caught doing something bad. “Trust me it’ll be so worth it” you say looking back ahead. “Well…while we wait…wanna go to the book store real quick?” You look up at him and smile. “Book store? Didn’t take you for a reader.” He chuckles knowing that was far from the truth. “I’m not. But I like making fun of the boring ass books in there.” You laugh at how ridiculous that sounded. You hadn’t laughed in so long. It felt so good. Steve smiled at the sight. He knew you’d been having a hard time. It felt good to make someone smile. “I’m serious. You’re not gonna wanna leave, trust me.” He says as he walks you over to the book store with a hand on your shoulder leading the way. The book store smelt strangely good. Steve let out a quick laugh and pointed at one of the books “look at that.” It was a book. You couldn’t help but laugh at the stupid cover. “Abracadabra” it read. “So stupid.” Steve looked over at you shaking his head. “Think that’s stupid? Just wait till we see the kids section” you rolled your eyes playfully. It was so stupid being here, but who were you to say it wasn’t fun. 

The book store was pretty big. So many books that didn’t even make sense. You guys eventually made your way to the music. A bunch of albums that were super popular. “God im tired of hearing this stupid song.” Steve said pulling a vinyl record from the artist Diana Ross “upside down” half way looking at it in disgust. “No.” You said quickly. He looks at you and raises a brow. “That’s literally my favorite song.” Steve laughs but your face stays serious. He studies your face then raises his eyebrows. “Oh!  you’re serious” he continues to laugh, you can’t help but chuckle slightly before looking away. This only makes Steve laugh harder. You guys make it out of the book store laughing about a cliche romance book you guys saw after a couple minutes. 

Steve was walking next to you hands in his pockets about to ask you a question. “Didn’t I tell you, you’d have fun?” He raises his eyebrows waiting for your answer. You scoff “yeah yeah whatever.” 

“Better than that lame party that’s for sure” Steve mumbled under his breath. You raised a brow. “Stop acting like you don’t love parties” he looks at you half offended still managing to laugh. “It’s the same thing every time. Gets boring after the first 3 parties” you nodded slowly at this. 

You and Steve walked around a while longer, half forgetting how hungry you both really were. The day was full of laughter, soon enough it was already turning dark. You weren’t supposed to be out this long but how could you leave? “Where’s that place you wanted to eat at” Steve asks suspiciously. Your eyes widen “oh yeah! Omg we passed it!” You said turning quickly as you got a hold of his arm, pulling him with you. Steve was caught off guard slightly tripping before catching himself. “Jesus!” 

“Can I tell you something Steve?” You asked as you sat at a table waiting for the food to arrive. Steve smiled, like he has been doing the whole day. “Go ahead” there was a slight pause before you started. “I’ve never tried the food here.” He finally looked up at you, his smile slightly falling but still holding its shape, he raised an eyebrow. He sort of wheezed. “Uh- okay? Why’d you lie?” 

You shrugged not really knowing why, you just wanted to seem less boring. There was a long pause before Steve burst out into laughter. You looked up at him, surprised by his outburst. The laughter was human. It wasn’t like the laughter you’d hear in the hallways, this time you weren’t the joke. “You really are something huh? How could anyone hate you?” this causes your smile to fade. Steve notices. 

“Order for uh…er-” the person calling out your order tried hard not to butcher your name, you already knew it was your order, so you stood up. The guy managed to get your name correct before you got to the service counter. Steve walked a bit delayed right after you. He didnt wanna ruin the friendship so early. Steve rushed to grab the food for you. “Hey I’m sorry if what I said was…weird.” Steve started. “I meant to say that you’re cool. I don’t get why people don’t notice that.” He finished as he tried catching your eyes. You gave him an awkward smile as you two made your way to the table. “It’s uhm…it’s okay. It’s not you I just…god I hate them.” Steve slides your food over to your side. “Wanna talk about it?” He tries his best to make you look at him without touching you. “I- I don’t wanna ruin the fun” you say dismissing the topic, but Steve doesn’t seem to care for the fun. “I mean…it’s not like this is your last time having fun right?” Steve chuckles trying to make a comfortable space. “Hm…” you open your mouth to talk but nothing comes out. 

“How about this—“ he starts then grabs one of his fries eating it quickly. “Mm- let’s eat first yeah?” You giggle at this. He was great at making you feel safe. You tried eating your food, but you’ve lost your appetite, slowly taking bites of everything. 

Steve took notice of this, he looked away for a second thinking of what to say. That’s when he saw someone from school. “Holy shit is that…” you look up from your food and follow Steve’s eyesight. “Oh crap! Let’s get out of here!” You whisper-yelled. Steve raised his eyebrows. “No no no.. they won’t come up to us.” He started as he looked the person up and down. “Bad hair day” he laughed lazily. You pursed your lips. This was probably how people talked about you. You let out an awkward laugh. 

Steve looked at you. “Wanna talk about it now?” Steve asked softly still holding his “Steve” face. You looked to the side then back at Steve. “You haven’t heard?” You said finding it impossible to believe he hasn’t heard of what people have been saying. He looked around with a pout. “No..I mean I’ve heard what they call you yeah.” He says but you shake your head. He continues anyway. “I always see you around…the way they talk to you its…” you laugh a little, feeling a little warm at the fact that steve has been taking notice of the teasing that goes around in school. “You’ve been keeping an eye on my stevie.” steve puts a hand on his face at the nickname slightly chuckling. “Okay dont ever call me that again…” he starts. “Okay…stalker sound good?” you laugh, but he rolls his eyes with a small smile, holding back his laughter. “You calling me a stalker?” he grins hoping you wouldn’t realize how hard hes trying to hold back his laughter. “Thats what you are no?” you say and steve finally laughs. You laughed with him, finishing your final fry. “So…” 

“People think im a slut because i kissed my ex while he was in a relationship with someone…” you blurted out quickly. Steve raises his eyebrows and looks away. “Oh…”  he manages to let out. He honestly doesnt think what you did was even wrong, it just caught him off guard. “Wait…thats what its all about?” he asks and you nod not looking at him. “Thats so stupid.” you look up at him and raise an eyebrow. “Wanna know whos a real slut? Karen… she talks the most about everyone but shes the biggest problem in school.” you laugh, you didnt even know who karen was but it was nice to hear him talk like that about a rude person. 

After the whole talk you and steve walked out of the mall, your feet were tired, like so tired you accidentally forgot how to walk for a second causing you to trip on nothing. By the time steve noticed you, you were already on the ground. He laughed when he saw that you were okay. “Holy shit!” he said before you rolled your eyes “wanna help me out or are you to busy laughing?” he went to give you a hand and before he could pull you up you were pulling him down with you in the middle of the dark empty parking lot. “Woah!” you almost couldnt breathe from how much you were laughing. Steve was laughing too, hyperventilating through. The two of you stayed there until you were stable enough to walk.
