𝐒𝐎𝐌𝐄𝐁𝐎𝐃𝐘 | Steve Harrington

003, hey back, hair guy

  Reese walked around the school seeing Nancy walking up to her. "Have you seen Barb around?" She asked walking with her to her locker. Who was next to her own. "I don't know if you know this but, I don't actually talk to her much anymore. I would be the last one knowing." Reese said while both of them opened their lockers, Nancy's one being closed again. Reese looked up to see Steve standing there, great.

  "Hey!" steve greeted Nancy. "Hey!" Nancy nervously laughed. Reese got her books out of her locker and walked away. "Well, also hey too you weirdo."

  "Hey back, hair guy." she said and continued walking off. Reese was used to be called weirdo, not because of what she wore, that was mostly a basic flared trousers, a tank top or shirt and a jacket. Nothing weird. It was mostly the way Reese was different, gave zero fucks about what other thought of her. Well, so they thought.

  Reese sat down on her seat hearing Nancy ask another kid from her class ask if she has seen Barbara. Probably sick you would think right? In this case, not so right...

..

  Reese walked into the cafeteria hearing Carol and Tommy H moan Steve's name. Steve and Nancy looking at them briefly. Reese walked by them a disgusted look on her face. Then she remembered she had kind of no where to sit so walked out of the cafeteria. Yeah, it sucked that her only friend was be where to be found, but she got it. He wanted to be left alone.

..

  After school Reese walked over to the her car. Seeing Jonathan standing in front of Steve and his three sheep's. He went to walk towards his car but Tommy H grabbed his bag. Reese walked over to them. "Oh, look your weirdo friend came to rescue you." Tommy H laughed.

  "Just leave him alone, he didn't do anything to you." She shrugged trying to stay calm. She walked over to them trying to grab Jonathan's bag from Tommy but he threw it to Steve. Jonathan also trying to grab it. "Man, he is totally trembling. He must really have something to hide." Steve opened his bag. "Here we go. Ah! Here we go." He grabbed the photos out of his bag. "Oh, man."

  "Let me see." Tommy yelled. "Dude." Jonathan stood there his mouth shut. Reese looked at them confused. "Yeah, this isn't creepy at all." Carol scoffed. She dropped the photo's walking over to Reese. "You knew about this weirdo?" She started.

  "What?" She asked. Steve then held up the photo's. all photo's off Steve, Carol, Tommy H and... Nancy? why would Jonathan do that?

  "I was looking for my brother." Jonathan defended himself. Carol still standing in front of Reese. "No, no, this is called stalking." He nod. Nancy then walked over to them.

  "What's going on?" She asked her them making everyone look up. "Here's the staring lady." Tommy H said. Nancy smiled confused. "What?"

  "These creeps were spying on us." Carol exclaimed. Reese opened her mouth ready to say something. Nancy looked at the two. "You have more pictures? huh?" Tommy H asked Reese, walking over to her.

  She backed up. "I have nothing." She hissed at him. Steve walked over to Jonathan patting his shoulder. "See, you can tell that he knows it was wrong, but. Man, that's the thing about perverts. It's hardwired into 'em."

  "You know, they just can't help themselves." He then ripped the photo apart. Tommy laughed. "So... we'll just have to take away his toy."

  "Steve..." Nancy tried. "No, please, not the camera." Jonathan walked forward tommy stopping him. "No, no, wait. Wait... Tommy, Tommy. It's okay." Steve told him as Tommy chuckled. "Here you go man." He fake handed the camera to Jonathan, dropping it before he could get it.

  Reese felt sorry for jonathan. "Come on, let's go. The game's about to start." Steve walked off. His sheep following him. Nancy got down grabbing a picture. "Hey Nance!" Steve yelled. "Come on." Nancy grabbed the pictures walking off.

  "Jonathan—" Reese tried but he interrupted her. "No, just go. I don't need help." he hissed. Reese sighed. Probably the 'brother went missing' thing. Reese hoped. "Go!" Jonathan yelled. Reese turned around and quickly walked off. To her car. She slammed her car door. She punched the car wheel, she may just have lost her only friend.

  "Great work, Reese. Awesome." She then drove off. It'll wave by, right?

..

  "Mom, i'm home!" Reese yelled kicking of her shoes. She walked around the house. "Mom?" She yelled again. She'll probably be home soon.

  Reese walked over to her room grabbing 'the shining' then walking over to the couch. She started reading the book for the millionth time. She loved scary books, or book in general.

  "Ree, i'm home!" Jane yelled walking inside the house. She walked over to her daughter. "The shining? again?" She asked.

  "It's a great book! You should read it." She told her mom. Jane scoffed. "Yeah, right. I'll stick to romantic books." She told her daughter, picking up her feet and sitting next to her. "I thought you were going to the Byers's house." Jane said.

  "Yeah, i don't think jonathan would like to see me."  Reese said not looking up from her book. Jane frowned pushing the book out of her daughters face. "What happened?"

  "It's nothing, probably just all the stress of Will being missing. I won't worry about it." She said flipping over a page. Jane raised a eyebrow. "He just doesn't want my help okay? That's all." Reese pushed the book in front of her face again.

  Jane held up her hands. "Fine." She then grabbed a book from the small coffee table in front of the couch.

  After a while of reading Jane broke the comfortable silence again. "Why don't you go out some time? Outside of school you almost never go out of the house."

  "Well, no." She quickly told her mother. "You need to live your life! be crazy, go to party's, get drunk!" Jane yelled. "Don't get drunk!" She slowly corrected herself. Reese laughed at her mother.

..

  "Reese! Something's wrong!" Jane yelled. Was it Will? Was he found? Reese quickly put on her shoes and a jacket. They ran outside towards where the cops where. Joyce was standing there crying, with Jonathan in her arms.

  "Joyce? What happened?" Jane asked her friend who pulled away from her son. "They found Will's body." The woman cried as she hugged Jane. Reese walked over to Jonathan, pulling him into a hug. tears streaming down her cheeks now too.
