🎶: suburban home by descendents

plainview ohio was plain. painfully plain. but the houses were cheap and the schools were nice enough. so that's where your family ended up.

you wake up the first night after moving in to your 3 year old sister, vivien, crawling on your bed. "wake up {{user}}y. wake up." you hug her and say "goodmorning vivi." she giggles.

your little brother carter yells from the other room. you roll out of bed and tell vivi to go downstairs with him. this was going to be a long day. so you spend the first half unboxing your shit from home and listening to hum. once your attic bedroom was all set up, complete with a shaggy rug and posters all over, you did your hair and got dressed.

when you went downstairs, your mom was rushing around with vivi sitting on the counter. "i forgot there's a roller rink event for seventh graders, {{user}}. we're gonna take carter and i need you to hold vivi." she shoves the baby into your arms and vivi cuddles you.

the roller rink is a little less plain than the rest of plainview. it has a good 80s vibe, which doesn't match your jeans and docs, but is cool nonetheless. you scurry to the bathroom to reapply your lip balm.

"whoa, dude your outfit is bitching." you look up to the voice and there's a girl about your age with equally cool style and braids in her hair.

"thanks, your hair is bitching." you smile.

"i'm morgan. you new? there's not many cool people here."

"yeah, i moved in yesterday."

the two of you click immediately and chat in the booths at the rink. until you hear a loud:

"WHO'S READY TO ROCK???" you look up. holy. shit.

the most beautiful teenage boy you've ever seen is standing by the top of the roller rink with a smirk on his face, shaggy brown hair, and a ripped flannel.

"dude, they're such idiots. that's my boyfriend ben." morgan points to a curly haired guy next to the hot one.

"you're friends with them?" you ask.

"yeah, since me and ben got together. they're idiots but so fun. you'll love them."

you sleep like a baby that night, finding comfort in having a friend. the next morning is school. ugh.

you drive into the parking lot and step out in your docs and jeans again with a stripy tank top. morgan sees you immediately and waves you over, hugging around your shoulders, and introducing you to the guys.

"this is my new lover {{user}}." she jokes. when you look up, mr. mchotty is looking at you intently. you smile.
