OLIVIA TUCKS THE 20 DOLLAR note into her back pocket, grinning to herself that she actually managed to salvage some money from the pile of unwashed clothes in the corner of her room. Checking her outfit once more, the young girl tucks her long dark hair behind her ears before running down the staircase. Steve sits at the dining room table, studying for his finals. "Where are you off too?" He asks, glancing up at her as she runs into the kitchen, grabbing a toasted eggo from this morning. 

"Arcade with Dustin, Lucas, Will and Mike." Olivia turns to him, hoping to God that he'd let her out. "I can go right?" 

"Yeah but you know the rules. No using your powers." He mumbles, sipping his coffee. 

"Yep, of course, no powers. Thank you." She runs round the table, kissing his cheek but then making a face and looking at the growing stable on the side of his cheek, "Maybe have a shave before I get back." Steve's hand slaps to his cheek as he gasps, looking at her running away laughing too herself. 

"Fuck you Liv!" He shouts, flipping her off as she closes the door behind her. She picks up her new sleek black bike, slinging her leg over the top and then biking along the driveway and towards the arcade. Steve had gotten her a bike for her birthday as her father had sent her bunches of new designer clothes and some new makeup with some expensive perfume and a check for 10 thousand dollars. Olivia really realised that her father is loaded too the brim with money. Steve put her check into the bank too save her college funds and a car when she's older which he realised is only 2 years. 

She slides her bike into the bike rack as the three boys bike up the parking lot towards her, "Hey Liv." Lucas waves, as he jumps off his bike, pushing it towards her and then into the bike rack along with Dustin and Mike, "How much you got?"

Olivia smirks, pulling out a 20 dollar note. "Holy shit!" Dustin gasps, "Where do you get that kinda money from?"

"I'm loaded, mate." The Harrington girl smirks, "I did the math the other day which took almost 2 hours, my dad is a multi millionaire." She whispers the last part, glancing around for any eavesdroppers. 

"Bloody hell, your buying all our cars when we turn 16." Mike points at her, smiling hopefully. 

"Uh, no." She makes a face, raising an eyebrow and glancing over Mike's shoulder when she sees Joyce's green car pulling into the waiting bay of the parking lot. She is talking to Will for a good 5 minutes before he's finally let out of the car and runs over to them. He greets Olivia first, they do their handshake they made up over the summer and then he greets the others before waving goodbye to his mom.
