On a busy night was the tigers basketball game where they had an entire band, audience and cheerleader group to cheer them on. Chrissy was a cheerleader and the queen of Hawkins High so she was well respected. Robin on the other hand was rebellious and no one really cared about her. Just before the game had started, Robin wished the team good luck and headed onto the benches.

The game had began. It was going terrible for the Tigers until Jason figured out a strategy. It was the final few seconds and Chrissy was sick of cheering. Lucas threw the ball and it bounced out of the basket but fell back through after. The tigers had won! Everyone was cheering and chanting Lucas but Robin decided to leave early and go back home.

When Robin went home she heard a knock on her door. Thinking it was Steve, she shouted,"GO AWAY STEVE."
A few moments went by before she heard a voice.
"Robin, it's me Chrissy, can I come in?"
"Oh yeah, sure." replied Robin, feeling a bit confused.
"Why are you here, I thought you were still at the game?" asked Robin.
"Well I was but I don't wanna go back home to my mom, so I came here." answered Chrissy quietly.
Robin placed her hand on Chrissy's back  before saying,"I was just making my dinner, you want some?"
"Sure!" stated Chrissy.

Robin picked up the pan and began placing the Chicken stew on the table.
"Sorry, I'm vegan." said Chrissy hesitantly.
"It's fine, I made some vegetables on the side and I also have some tofu in the fridge if you want any." stated Robin
"Okay." Chrissy said with a smile.
As they began eating, all they heard on the news was "Tigers are victorious" and "Lucas Sinclair scores the winning basket" and everything related to that.

"Are you staying for the night or are you going home? I have a spare bedroom or you can sleep on the couch." Robin asked expecting for her to leave.
"I would rather stay." Chrissy replied feeling slightly embarrassed.
"Of course! The spare bedroom is down the corridor and the second door to the left!" Robin exclaimed whilst smiling.

The next morning, the two girls woke up to the sound of the ringing phone. Robin answered it and said,"Hello, Robin here."
"You're not Chrissy!" The woman on the other end of the phone exclaimed.
"CHRISSY ITS FOR YOU!" yelled Robin as she passed the phone to Chrissy.
"Sh!t." Chrissy thought to herself before holding the phone up to her ear.
"Hello." she said, worried about what would happen next.
"CHRISSY CUNNINGHAM, GET BACK HOME RIGHT NOW OR YOU KNOW THE CONSEQUENCES!" screamed the woman who was Chrissy's mother.
"NO!" shouted Chrissy to her mother with her heart pounding in her chest.
"WHAT DID YOU JUST SAY TO ME!?" screeched the lady
Chrissy slammed the phone back onto the wall and burst into tears.
"Who was it." Robin asked feeling concerned for the girl.
"My mother." muttered Chrissy feeling disappointed in herself.
