I Choose What I Want To Hear | Billy Hargrove x Fem-Reader

Chapter 8: Basketball

Recap:

I entered my room and lay on my bed and sighed. I then remembered how she looked at me with those vulnerable eyes at the party and at her house. My face heated up.

"Jesus Christ...You're driving me insane, Y/N," I muttered under my breath

Present (The Next Day):

Y/N's POV:

I got out of the locker room and sat in the bleachers and decided to watch the basketball game. Shirts V.S. Skins. I then see Billy appear from the locker room with no shirt, and the girls started to giggle at his appearance. Billy and I made eye contact and he then winks at me. The girls then squealed thinking it was for them. I chuckled when he decided to flex his muscle.

'Show off,' I shook my head

Steven was part of the Shirt team. He dribbled the ball putting them under his leg and back. While trying to get through Billy, he tried to get through but Billy blocks him and pushes him away. They were having a conversation and I can hear them, perks of having enhanced hearing...

"Harrington right? I heard that you used to run this school. That true?" he asks cockily "King Steve, they used to call you, huh? Then you turned bitch,"

 "Hey maybe you should just shut up and play the game," Steven pants, Billy then steals the ball from him and Steve falls to the ground

'OoooOOoooo that's gotta hurt...' I thought to myself, Billy then makes his way to the hoop and the ball went under his leg and he shot into the hoop, Billy then turned to me and tries to make me say something, I rolled my eyes and smiled and slowly clapped for him, he chuckles and runs back to the game

"Whoo!" he hollers "That's what I'm talking about!"

Steve looked tired and Nancy appeared and called for him, he seemed pissed, I wonder what happened last night. Steve came back from a brief recess and the game started again. Someone threw the ball to Billy and he caught it. He started to dribble the ball.

"Alright!" Billy announces "Alright! Alright! King Steven everyone! You playing tough!"

"Jesus! Do you ever stop talking?" Steve complains, Billy then chuckles

"Huh? You worried the coach might bench you or something?" he then looks at me "This one is for you Y/N,"

I chuckled and I feel eyes staring down at me.  He then shoves Steve out of the way and dunked into the hoop. Everyone then cheered. Billy walks down to Steve and leaned forward to help him out. Steve took his hand.

"You were moving your feet. Plant them next time. Draw a charge," he tells Steve he then shoves him back to the ground and makes his way over to me, he then smirks

"Not bad, Stud...Not bad..." I smiled "Quite impressed,"

"Thank you, Sweetheart," he says wiping sweat from his forehead 

"You were right..." I smiled

"Bout what?" he cocks his head to the side

"Those muscles are impressive," I chuckled, he then smirks cockily

"Staring now, Sweetheart?" he says flexing his arm

"Maybe just a little," I tell him, I then got off the bleachers "I'll see you later,"

I left and changed back into my normal clothes. I then left the school since it was over. I then see Max waiting in the parking lot. She notices me and runs to me.

"Y/N!" she says running over

"Hey kiddo, how was school?" I asked her

"Eh it was fine, there are boys that keep annoying me..." she sighs

"Popular hm?" I asked

"Nah, they're nerds," she says, she then looks over "Speaking of the devil,"

I then see four boys on bicycles riding toward us. They then stopped in front of Max and me, I recognized one of them, Lucas.

"Hey, Y/N," Lucas greets me

"Hey, Lucas, who are your friends?" I asked

"This is Dustin Henderson, Will Byers, " he introduces me to a boy with curly hair and another one with a bowl cut, I shook their hand "And this is Mike Wheeler,"

"Are you related to Nancy Wheeler?" I asked Mike, he nods his head as I shook his hand "Hm..."

"Well see you, kids, whenever, I gotta go home and do homework," I said saluting them and getting on the motorcycle

Mike's POV:

There's something I couldn't get off of my mind. That girl had a similar tattoo to El. But instead of Eleven, it was Twenty.

"Damn! She's so cool! She rides a motorcycle!" Dustin exclaims

"Forget about that!" I said "Did you see her wrist? She had a tattoo saying 020,"

"I saw that too..." Dustin says "She couldn't be related to El...Could she?"

"There's only a way to find out," I said "We gotta do some digging. After we go to the arcade and play D&D,"

"Also, Lucas, how come you've never told us that she had a tattoo," I turned to ask him, he shrugs his shoulders

Y/N's POV:

I entered home and I saw a ghost in the living room, she looked familiar, but I couldn't put my fingers on it. I slowly made my way to the ghost. She had red hair. I then saw her face. Barb? 

"Barb?" I asked, she then slowly walked toward me

"It's coming," she whispers 

"What's coming?" I asked in a confusing voice

"It's coming soon," she says and then disappears, I sighed
