Meeting Steve Harrington (X Reader)

001

"Y/N come on you're going to be late" my mum shouts outside my bedroom door as I sleep through my alarm.

"Shit" I throw my covers off and get ready for school, more specifically my very first day at Hawkins High. "Shit shit shit" I continue to mumble to myself as I get changed.

"Surely some jeans and an oversized sweatshirt will do?" I stand with my hands on my hips in the mirror. I run to the bathroom, fixing my long (y/c) hair and applying some mascara and blush to look more alive. 

"Y/n I will leave without you if I have to call again" my miserable brother calls up from down the stairs. "Im coming" I shout back as I grab my backpack and sprint down the stairs.

"Have a great first day darling!" I quickly down my glass of orange juice mum passed me and run to the car. "3..2.. and she's here" I roll my eyes as I get in the front seat.

"Morning Max" I turn and smile. Max is my step sister, she's great though and I see her as my sister, there's no need for the step. "What about me" Billy groans. "Morning..." I mumble while Buckling my seatbelt. 

Billy is my twin brother, you'd think being twins you would be super close, best friends, have a lot of love for each-other, right? Wrong. I hate Billy, im sure you'll see why but hate is an understatment. 

"If either of you are late out im leaving without you" the car stays silent "Got it" he raises his voice causing me to jump in my seat ""yea got it jeez" I sit back and look out the window, our new home town, Hawkins, what a weird change.

"Thanks" Max smiles as I open the car door for her to climb out. "Ill see you later" I give Max a brief hug, pushing past Billy and into my brand new high school. 

First on the agenda, English class, great. I walk around the hall looking for my classroom which I eventually find. Everyone is standing around talking and laughing while I walk to the back, taking the empty desk that sits alone. I pull out my books and sit, observing the class as my heart races from anxiety. I bounce my leg and pick at my nails as the nerves really start to settle in. 

"Hey" the person at the desk beside me leans over towards mine. "Oh hey" I turn and give a friendly smile "Are you new? I haven't seen you before" she smiles from ear to ear, she seems nice enough. 

"Uh yea I am, its my first day, im y/n" I push my hair behind my ear and awkwardly smile "thought so, im Nancy" she sits back in her chair as our class is about to start. 

"Sorry sorry" a boy bursts into the class, rushing to his seat which sits infront of mine. "Hurry and settle down" the teacher demands as our class starts.

An hour goes by and the bell rings "Remember your readings for tomorrow" we all stand up, grabbing our belongings and walking out. "hey y/n" Nancy calls out as I walk ahead. "Oh hey" I stop and turn around.

"I sit in front of you" the boy that came in late points at me "Uh yea, I think so" I chuckle a little. "This is y/n" Nancy introduces me with a smile "Hey, im Steve". He pulls his hand out, to which I give it a gentle shake.

"Well Hi Steve the guy that sits in front of me in English" I pretend to note down, causing the two of them to laugh. "What class do you have next?" Nancy asks, I pull out my hand made timetable to quickly check "Uh Science?" I frown.

"Oh same, with Mr Brown?" Steve points at me "Uh yea" I fold the paper up and put it back in my pocket "Well I have math, im sure Steve will show you around, see you guys at lunch" Nancy smiles and walks away. 

"She's really nice" I say while walking beside Steve to our science class "Yea, she is" he lets out a small sigh. "You'll get used to it around here, its probably hard because everyone has their friendships sorted but you would fit great into ours" he turns and smiles at me "It would be great to meet other people, sure" I smile and nod as we reach our class. 

Everyone greets Steve as soon as we walk in. I awkwardly stand behind everyone as they speak amongst eachother. From this I assume Steve is the main guy here, Mr popular so it seems. "Hey Steve" A more calming voice says as we reach the back of the class. 

"Hey dude, this is y/n she's new here" the two of us sit opposite him "Hey, Im Jonathan" He smiles at me, a shy smile. "Hey" I smile back while getting comfortable in my chair. 

"You okay?" Steve asks as Jonathan stays quiet "Theres a new guy, and he's coming for your 'role' or something" he sits back in his chair and shakes his head. My stomach sinks, I don't need to hear anymore than that to know who. 

"Seriously? what a jerk, what's his name" Steve leans forward with a chuckle "Billy, or something like that" Jonathan shrugs. I stay quiet, swallowing the lump in my throat. How, its the first day and Billy is already causing issues within the first hour.

"He's trying out to be in the basketball team" Jonathan lets out a giggle "Alright well lets see how that goes, what a douche" Steve leans back in his chair, swirling a pen between his fingers and laughing. I force myself to let out an awkward laugh, thankfully, class starts...
