AN: this is also a modern AU so they live in 2022, minus covid

•Third person POV•
all the boys piled into Bruce's car. Bruce in the driver, Vance in the passenger, billy and griffin in the middle row, finney and robin in the very back.

|Finney POV|
Of course finney had to be stuck next to the guy he hated. Robin arellano. He had a huge crush on him in middle school but he got rejected by the boy, he kept the thoughts he had to himself but he still kind of had a crush on him. Robin was a major asshole to everyone throughout middle and high school but he was especially mean to finney. Bullied him and beat him up whenever he could. Of course, his best friend bruce was always there for him. But now he HAS to be in a band with robin. He didn't even want to be there, he was dragged along by billy and griffin who really wanted to see them play. He was mostly there for Bruce but he also went just to get away from donna, she was a fucking bitch at times and those times were all the time. As you roll down his window he heard the long haired boy next to him sigh, maybe he didn't want the window down? He didn't care. The brunette looked out the window, the breeze blowing his hair slightly.

|Robin pov|
He fucking hated this. He didn't want to be here with that stupid son of a bitch. Thinking he can talking about his playing like that. Finney fucking Blake just had to be friends with Bruce Yamada. He wished it was middle school all over again, making Finn cry and terrifying the shit out of him. Those were good times, especially when gwen tried to save him. How he loves that memory to replay over and over. Robin shifted in his seat as removes his guitar from its position and set it to the empty seat next to him. It was special to him, and it was only his. God he could beat the shit out of Blake if he ever touched it. Even by accident. It was already worse that he had to sit in the back seat with him. As if backstage wasn't enough for his game. Robin crossed his arms and rested his head looking up. Huffing out in boredom as Bruce started the car. The ride was easy at first until Billy wanted to play some music. It was good at first until it was just trashy white music playing. He wanted to rip his ears out as he did NOT want to be here even more.

|Finney POV|
finney took off his backpack before he set it on the floor between his legs, he just wanted the car ride to be over, they were playing horrible music and he had to sit next to a horrible person. He wished he would have just stayed home but then he would have to deal with Donna all day. if he was being honest, he hated donna. It was a stupid middle school relationship and now there getting married next month. Why did he made that decision? Probably to stop her from crying every time he said he didn't want to date her anymore. He took out his phone and started playing music though his bluetooth headphones, trying to drown out the awful music billy was listening to.

|Robin POV|
He sighed as he placed his arm on the only arm rest out of the back seat. Turning his gaze towards the flashing lights of cars and the blur of the road signs. He was only looking at the bottom part as he was disgusted by Finn's reflection on the top of the window. He looked peaceful listening to music, almost made him what kind of cute. God, he hated his guts. He was a nice guy, pretty, and- NO, he shouldn't be thinking that. He has to hate him! The long haired boy could only hold a conversation with the brunette for so long before he started to get annoying.
