*year later*

"we're going to be late!"

.........

"y/n!!!!"

"oh my god shut up max" you scramble with your keys to unlock the car door. billy's car door. "took you long enough"

"it's fine we won't be late" you smiled. max frowned and crossed her arms "nancy is literally going to fire you"

"don't say that max!!"
you have been so nervous of getting fired from the schools news paper. after billy had passed, you lost motivation to live. getting up everyday was a struggle. since your dad had left, susan welcomed you with open arms to live with her and max.

you believed max was just as depressed as you. billy's death hit her hard, possibly harder than you.

nancy understood what you were going through but she had warned you that showing up late a lot may mean she will have to fire you. you and nancy were good friends, but not that good to the point where she would let everything slide. you appreciated her getting you a job.

"see you after school max"
max have you a half smile, put on her headphones and walked off.

you pulled the rearview mirror towards you and touched up your makeup. you took a deep breath in and remembered how billy would fix his hair in the rearview mirror, cigarette hanging out of his mouth while he tried telling you to hold it for him so he could use both hands for his hair.

you smiled weakly as a tear trickledown your cheek.

you missed billy. a lot.

he was your other half. your twin.

you wiped your tears, fixed the rearview mirror and gathered your things ready to enter the school to face nancy.

"fuck my life" you mumbled to yourself

*time skip*

"y/n hey" someone said and nancy snapped her neck to look at you, "y/n." she said friendly bur sternly "10 mj-"

"10 minutes late" you cut her off, "yeah i know. i'm working on it nance"

"at least it's not 20 minutes late this time" some kid said in response

"hey! shush" nancy said to them

"y/n, you're getting better at being on time. like way better than you have been. keep working on it, okay?" she smiled

you let out a sigh of relief. no getting fired today. "i'm trying nancy". she smiled and gave the thumbs up. "thank you" you mouthed and she nodded.

"nancy!" mike yelled, slamming through the doors. he scanned the room and then spotted you "y/n! do you know where nancy is?"

"i'm right here, mike" nancy crossed her arms

"oh! do you wanna play d&d tonight with hellfire club?" mike said

"no." she hissed, "what about you y/n" he pouted and did the praying hands

"sure why not. you'll have to teach me how to play it though."

"okay sure! meet me in the cafe at lunch and i'll teach it to you and you can meet hellfire club"

what the fuck did you just agree too. if billy was here, he would bully the shit out of you for even agreeing to play a nerdy game.
