3: hello, ladies.

"BECAUSE I DON'T want to go by myself." Nancy whined down the phone as i sit on my makeshift windowsill chair. Of course she decided she wants me to accompany her to Steve's house 'party' if you can even call it that.

I sigh whist simultaneously rolling my eyes in sheer annoyance that my peaceful plans at lying in my bed and playing my Kate Bush albums would be ruined.  "Why can't you just go with Barb and Barb alone?" My question was incredibly valid. Barbra was going, but Nancy wanted me to go too. I don't think either of us were too impressed with the brunettes decision.

There was silence for a few seconds, almost as if i had made an incredibly valid point and Nancy didn't know how to come up with a better one. "Look... it's Barb, you know what she's like, she'll just sit in the corner and wait for me to be done and go home. Look please; I'm begging you, i'll even promise to babysit Dustin one time as a thank you."

To be fair the second she mentioned babysitting Dustin i was sold. Don't get me wrong i love my curly haired little brother but sometimes all i want to do is go out but of course mom forces me. Saying it's my 'duty' as an older sister. Thankfully he is at the house of the girl i'm speaking to at this moment in time.

"Okay. But i'm holding you on your babysitting promise." My words make her sigh in relieve before finishing the conversation.

"Okay so, i'm going to go get changed, any chance you can pick me up? At least then we can arrive together and we won't need to do the awkward standing alone thing because Tommy H and Carol- Fuck, sorry, i'm rambling and time is getting on. Bye!"  Nance puts the phone down faster than i can say the words 'what time' so i'm guessing i'll just need to freestyle with that one.

My house and car keys jingle as i make my way to the run down ford that belonged to my mom before me. The light footsteps of my converse sound ten times louder in the empty street, late on a Tuesday night. Like seriously, Steve, a Tuesday.

I hop into my worn down car, the black paint on the outside peeling on the edges and the engine always choosing the worst times to fail. I understand though, single mom looking after two kids. She's never home too busy making enough money to support us. She doesn't have time to buy me a new car.

It only takes me a couple of minutes to head towards the younger girls house; honking the horn once to tell
her i'm outside. I observe Nancy's outfit, the same thing she wore to school. At least i know she isn't so utterly obsessed for Steve that she would try harder for him.

"So what's happening with Barb?" I question, the redhead must be going on her own which i'm
surprised she hasn't took the chance to bail like i want to. "She's meeting us there at eight; said she needs to have dinner with her parents first. Pull over. Elizabeth. Pull over!"

I huff and pull towards the edge of the road. "What, Nance? I wasn't going to park on his driveway but maybe a little closer than three blocks?"

"I don't want the neighbours to see." She responds meekly and embarrassed. All of a sudden she starts pulling her top off revealing a bra. "Is that a new bra?" I exclaim

"No." She defends a little to fast and placing a fake quizzical face on and putting the new top on.

I say a sarcastic 'mhm' before switching off the engine and stepping out of the car, Nancy following suit.

We walk a couple of steps in silence before i decide now might be a good time to give her a elderly sister speech. "You know, if he just wants to get into your pants, you better knee him in the dick." I turn my head to look at her. The light coming from the houses illuminates our faces enough to see one another.

"He doesn't. Don't worry. And even if he did then i'll just leave before it got to that." Nancy, always the mediator. Wanting to talk it out rather than act. That's where we differ.

I giggle to myself about the thought of an orgy between the four and imagining me and Barb running out terrified. "What are you laughing at?"

"The thought of it secretly being an orgy and me and Barbra running out together in order to save our poor eyes." I let a full fledged laugh out at this point and Nancy looks a little horrified before joining in. "Like dude, it's possible. It's a Tuesday night, no parents, I wasn't actually invited."

It takes us another couple of minutes to complete the walk to Steve Harringtons overly big house. The loud music can be heard clearly through the thin walls.

Suddenly both of the double doors open, and Steve stands slap bang in the middle.

"Hello, ladies."
