Hey, I know it's been awhile since the first chapter, I'm sorry it took so long and I hope you enjoy this as the beginning of the story. I would love to hear your thoughts and ideas.

Anyway, here it is!

Chapter 2

I guess I should start from the beginning; it was Joyce Griffin's 4th birthday party. Her parents had "forgotten" to invite Eric and I. So, we just sat literally 1000 feet from a huge birthday party, all my friends had been invited and I was super jealous. Her parents had brought a clown, face painters AND an inflatable zoo.

Eric and I did the only thing we could; we snuck over and stole all the candy under our shirts. Apparently leaving a trail behind us right into our garage. Eric and I celebrated and started eating like kings. Suddenly, the garage door opens and in comes Joyce's dad.

"Eric and Jackie Forman! Why am I not surprised? What are you doing with all that?" He yelled. Eric started crying but I just stood up, looked him straight in the eye, face covered in chocolate, and said,

"This is ours', I don't know what you're mumbling about. We were good and got this as a prize!"

He rolled his eyes, "We'll see what your parents say, if they bought you all this candy obviously, they'll know about it right?"

Shit. He caught my bluff. I got to stay behind what I said so I repeated his words,

"obviously,"

He grabbed me and sobbing Eric by our forearms and dragged us to our kitchen. Mommy was cooking something and Daddy was eating a sandwich, then Mr Griffin tried opening the screen door holding us both, only to give up and let us go and try again. It was locked. He knocked on the glass and Daddy opened it with a mad look on his face.

"Forman, your kids stole all the candy from Joyce's birthday party. They won't admit it but I caught them red-handed!"

Mommy had already come to the glass as well and looked at us in the eyes.

"Griffin, listen I don't know what you thought you saw but leave my kids alone!" Daddy said,

"I saw them eating a bucket of candy, Forman! You should teach to stay the hell out of…"

"I should teach you to stay the hell out of my property! Where did you even find them, huh?"

Mr Griffin opened his mouth and whispered out, "your garage..."

"Now what the hell were you doing in my garage? You better run off before I kick my foot up your ass!"

Mr Griffin ran away before Daddy could get to him.

I turned at blew a raspberry at Mr Griffin's back, stuck a lollipop in my mouth and strutted my way to the living room.

Let's just say that for the next couple of months Joyce and her family didn't really bother us. Then, one great Friday afternoon, after they had long left the neighborhood. A new family moved in, little did I know how important that family would become...

I think there are going to be maybe one or two chapters of her meeting the gang and then the story will go to present day ( 1976 not 2020 lol)

I would love to hear your thoughts in the reviews! I hope you enjoyed it and thanks so much for reading!
