pinballing myself a new friend
The sun was beaming through the sky, the prettiest blue sky you have seen. The clouds were as fluffy as can be. Birds were singing their songs, and people were joyfully talking everywhere. The sounds of the birds and people were interrupted by a loud pinging and clanging.
Disrupting the peaceful afternoon, Inside the gas station filled with sweets, candies, medicine, drinks, food, and more extra stuff; there was a pinball machine. Finney was pushing it as he played very roughly on the handles. He was smiling bigger than a child on their birthday. His high score was 1145, and he was about to beat the strongest kid’s record, Vance Hopper’s. Finney had been playing pinball for a few days, and he already had the hang of it. Vance Hopper’s high score was 1150. Finney was so happy; he was going to beat Vance Hopper’s high score.
All of a sudden, something grabbed the back of his shirt, spinning him around to face the person…Vance Hopper- who was now holding Finney by his collar, lifting him about 3-4 feet off the ground. Vance looked so pissed.
“Why the hell are you playing my game?! That’s my game, you little cunt!”
Finney gasped for air as he tried to loosen Vance’s grip on his collar. At the same time, he turned pale; Finney bit Vance’s hand so hard that his hand started gushing blood. Vance threw Finney into the pinball machine. Finney was knocked into the pinball machine, ruining his high score, leaving Finney astonished and angered. Finney got up and punched Vance. Vance went to punch Finney, but finney grabbed Vance by his hair and smashed his head into the floor rapidly before Vance could land the hit. The police arrived at the scene soon after, surveying the two blood-covered boys. The cops were astonished about how much damage they inflicted upon each other. The boys had bruises, bites, cuts, and black eyes, and they were covered in blood. They both got cuffed and brought outside into the cop car. They both get pushed into the back of the cop car. Finney looks at Vance with a face of disgust. Vance looks at Finney with the evilest smile you ever could have seen, saying
“You’re pretty strong, What’s your name?”
Finney looks kind of surprised
“I’m Finney Blake. How old are you? ”
Vance groans, responding with
“ I’m 13.”
Finney looks so surprised. His jaw dropped, and he looked astonished.
“YOU’RE 13!?”
Vance looks at Finney with a confused expression on his face,
“Yea…? So…?”
Finney suddenly grows happy,
“Cool man! I’m 13 also! You don’t look 13… You look about 17.”
Vance then smiles and laughs.
“No, no, no, no! I’m not 17. I’m not that old, yet. I’m 13”
The boys then stop and stare at each other. Suddenly they break out laughing. Vance wipes his tears from laughing while still gasping for air and says,
“Man! You almost beat my high score! You are pretty good at pinball. How long have you been playing? It took me years to get that 1150 high score.”
Finney looks at Vance with a heartfelt look, saying
“Sorry man, I didn’t know that it took you that long to get the high score. I’ve only been doing this for a few days. I should get a different pinball game, huh?”
Vance looks at Finney with a soft smile. The smile made Finney’s heart flutter. Vance laughs softly as he says,
“It’s ok Finn, you can play pinball with me anytime, But you’ll never be better than me!”
Finney starts laughing,
“Yea, yea. I know. You are the best at it.”
Vance looks surprised as Finney says that, and he turns a little pink. Finney notices that Vance turned pink, smiles and laughs. Vance turns cherry red and starts yelling at Finney.
“SHUT UP, WHAT DO YOU KNOW?! YOU HAVE ONLY PLAYED PINBALL FOR A FEW DAYS! ”
Finney was laughing so hard that he was out of breath. Finney stops laughing as he looks up at Vance with a soft smile. Vance turns back to his normal color but has a little red on his cheeks. Vance looks up at Finney with the biggest grin you would have ever seen,
“Hey, would you like to come to my place after this shit…?”
Finney looks surprised as his cheeks turn pink,
“uh…sure I guess.” Finney looks out the window.
Vance smiles so hard and whispers
“YES!” as he punches the roof of the cop car. This startles Finney and Finney quickly turns around to look at Vance. Vance turns red.
“Uhm…There was a bug on the roof.” Finney looks kind of scared by Vance punching the roof. Vance notices that Finney looks scared.
He scootches over to Finney and then suddenly one of the cops knocks on the window,
“Hey! Don’t start fighting again!”
Vance stares at the cop in a very pissed-off way,
“I can do what I want, also we aren’t going to fight dipshits. ″ The cop scoffs as he turns back around and keeps driving. Vance looks at Finney,
“Are you alright Finn? ″ Finney looks at Vance…it’s like he isn’t even there.
Vance looks worried, and suddenly Vance’s thoughts start to scramble
“kiss him. Hug him. Put his soft lips to yours. ″ Vance blushes harder as he backs away to the other side of the car. Finney snaps out his thoughts, “oh…sorry I was thinking about something.”
Vance looks at Finney,
“Can we kiss?”
Finney turns red and looks so surprised. Vance then is confused why Finney turned red. He then realized,
“Shit…I said that out loud”
Vance turned to look out the window. Finney bites his lip as he looks so surprised.
Vance mumbles under his breath,
“how the fuck am I supposed to help it…your cute, and your lips look so soft” Finney’s whole face turns light red. Vance looks back at Finney. Finney is smiling uncontrollably. Vance grins,
“so…up for the kiss? ″ Finney starts smiling harder as he turns redder. Vance laughs,
“I’m just kidding man. ″ Finney stays red but stops smiling. Vance flickers his view from Finney’s eyes to Finney’s soft lips. Finney catches Vance looking at his lips. Vance then jumps at Finney, pinning Finney to the cop car door. Vance just stared at Finney’s lips.
Finney gulps, “Vance…what are you doing?” Vance snaps out of it and backs away fast.
Vance turns red, “sorry, I didn’t mean to.”
Finney’s mind scatters everywhere…” Why did he do that? What was the point? Did he want to kiss? Has he wanted to kiss me? Was he trying to make love? Why in the cop car?”
Vance looks at Finney and laughs,
“Sorry man, I didn’t mean to. You forgive me, right? This doesn’t ruin anything, right?”
Finney smiles softly, still red,
“yea, it’s alright I’m fine with it. I don’t mind”
Vance then looks surprised, “you didn’t mind…?”
Finney nods his head, “yea I don’t mind not at all.”
Vance then laughs, “so you would mind if I kiss you?”
Finney, as red as a cherry; then looks down at his hands, fiddling with the loose strings on his pants.
Vance smiles, “it’s alright dude, not like I will force you…or not like I will do it” Finney’s heart races faster than it ever has, “why were you staring at my lips..?” Vance looks surprised and he looks back at Finney’s lips. Finney tenses up, sitting straight and looking as if he wanted to kiss…Vance stares at Finney’s lips, pinning him to the cop car door again. Their lips touch as they close their eyes. They start kissing aggressively. Vance pushes Finney harder against the door as they kiss more aggressively. Finney felt himself get weaker and weaker; Finney was hot, and he could feel himself becoming red. Vance becomes more aggressive as he sits Finney up against the door, on himself. Suddenly the cop car door opens and they both tumble out on top of each other, stopping their make-out session. They look up at the cops who are looking down at them with disgust. Vance quickly gets off of Finney. Finney gets up, and he stands up. Vance then stands up also. The cops stare at them with disgust,
“Well we are at your house Vance, now Finney gets back in the car. We are going to take you home next. ″
Finney then tenses up again, in a scared way.
“No, I’m ok, I’m going to stay here with Vance″
one cop scoffs and rolls his eyes,
“Whatever, just don’t fight again” Finney and Vance both agree to not fight again.
