Flower Girl (Billy Hargrove)

Chapter one

* not fully edited so if there are any mistakes please let me know*

The loud beeping noise from my alarm clock snapped me awake. It was 7:30, I slept for a whole eight hours yet I still feel like I haven't had an ounce of sleep in my body for weeks. Normally school isn't that hard but since it's moving close to fall break we have to get ready for fall testing. I don't understand why we have to do major testing almost every season, of course there's the opportunity you can get where they allow you to be exempt from the test and you don't have to take them but you have to have good grades and a good record oh and good attendance which I'm honestly slacking at. Some people need a break from school for a day and I'm one of those people.

After contemplating if I wanted to go to school or not I finally decided to get out of bed and walk to the bathroom to get ready for the day. The cold tile floors sent shivers down my spine and made goosebumps appear. I did a quick brush through of my hair so it doesn't get too tangled in the shower while I'm washing it. I got the two towels that I needed out and put them on the counter while I turned on the shower to let it warm up so I'm not freezing when I first get in. I slipped my nightclothes off and put them in the hamper and then I slipped into the shower. I knew that if I slacked today on time then I'm going to be late and I'm trying my hardest to at least be able to get out of two of my test so I need to start being there on time so I rushed and washed my hair and body. I shut the water off and got out and slipped one towel around my body and then the other on my head so my hair can at least dry some before school so I'm not walking around with dripping wet hair. I got to the sink and brushed my teeth and washed my face. My routine isn't extra nor perfect I literally don't have the time to do a routine but ofc when I'm feeling good on time I'll do something special.

I walked out and went to my closet and picked out my clothes for today. I grabbed my bra and underwear and my denim jeans that fit okay, they weren't tight to the point that they were uncomfortable but they also weren't supper baggy. Mom jeans in a way. I got a simple black shirt and my black docs and some white low rise socks. I slipped everything on and put on some deodorant and some perfume. I went to my mirror and put on my chapstick and my mascara. I made sure to put my Walkman and my tapes in my bag so I can have something to listen to whenever I wanna tune Steve out. I grabbed my bag and walked to the kitchen, it was just Steve there eating his breakfast. Mom and dad went out on a business trip like normal. Growing up it has just been me and Steve basically, of course when we were little we would get sent to a family relatives house during the holidays but normally we would have a babysitter up until Steve was 12 and I was 11. After that our parents decided we were old enough to do shit on our own, which yes they were right because me and Steve took care of ourselves pretty well but still. It would've been nice to have parents that were around.

"Hey today we have to pick up Nancy so eat a quick breakfast." Steve and Nancy have been together for a bit now and things have been rocky between them. I didn't have a problem with Nancy, she was a sweet girl and me and her would go together to the Byers house to randomly check up on everyone after wills disappearance and then him being found. It took a toll on them and they really needed people there by their side yet only few supported them. Will even gets bullied and gets called zombie boy and honestly it's heartbreaking. I put my waffles in the toaster and grabbed a napkin so when they popped out I can just eat them in the car. Steve put his plate in the sink and then grabbed his keys and his bag, perfect timing because my waffles just popped out too. I grabbed my waffles and put my bag on correctly and we walked out to the car. Well Steve's car to be exact, I've been scared to get my actual license so right now I only have my permit which is kind of embarrassing though, being 17 with only a permit. We finally got to Maple street and picked up Nancy, I was already in the back so I just stayed where I was while eating my waffles and listening to my music.

After a bit we finally got to school and like normal eyes were on us. Only for king Steve of course. He's the king of Hawkins high and that's the same reason I'm mainly known as Steve's little sister which definitely does suck. When people dream of going to highschool they dream of making a name for themselves not having to live in their brothers shadow. Obviously I do benefit from it so that's also good. We got out and all stood at the hood of his car when suddenly a loud engine came pulling into the parking lot. It was this dark blue 1979 Chevrolet Camaro. It was beautiful but I've never seen it before. Once it parked in the spot next to Steve out of the passenger side a young girl with fiery red hair and bright blue eyes pops out, she throws the skateboard that she just had in her hands and skates off on it to the middle school. That makes sense, she looked around 13 anyways. The guy who popped out of the drives side got everyone's attention. He was a tall guy with broad shoulders and abs that was easily poking through his tight white shirt that was tucked into his denim pants which matched with his denim jacket. He had curly blonde hair that was cut into a nice mullet that sat right at the base of his jackets collar. He had small curls that sat on the side of his face basically framing it. He looked good and he had good style too. Normally I don't see a ton of people pull off denim on denim unless they're a celebrity in a magazine but the new boy is pulling it off nicely. Tina and her group of friends instantly grabbed my attention "Look at that ass, do you see that." I mean like they weren't wrong tho so I just shook my head in agreement and then headed inside because I wasn't about to deal with anymore of that talk.

As I was walking down the hallway I felt a tap on my shoulder "Hey beautiful, could you show me the way to the office." The little smirk on his face instantly told me his intentions, somehow the first time I've talked to him I'm already disgusted by him. "Sure let's go." I rolled my eyes and led the way to the office. Of course I said hi and waved to everyone who said hi to me, like I said sometimes you benefit from being the little sister of the King of Hawkins high. With every wave I got I saw his eyes get wider and wider and honestly it was funny. After a couple minutes of walking we finally got to the office I saw the office staff and they looked at me with big smiles on their face. "Well good morning Miss.Harrington. What can I do for you." I looked over at Ms. Lilly as I gave her my response "Well I personally don't need anything, I was just walking this new kid up here because he didn't know where to go." I pushed Billy forwards a bit so he could step closer to the counter "Ah yes you must be William Hargrove." I could see him roll his eyes as soon as Ms.Lilly said his name "I go by Billy but yes I am." I'm assuming Billy is his middle name or something, it does sound better than William anyways. I was getting ready to turn around to go back to the hallways until I got stopped "Miss Harrington could you possibly show Mr Hargrove around. It seems here that you two have the same classes anyways so you wouldn't be going out of your way much. Just do a basic tour of the school and then take him to first period. Tell them I sent you to give him a tour if they try to say anything about you being late." Billy was looking at me with a cheeky grin and I don't know how I feel about it. The bad intentions are obviously there. "Sure, follow me Billy." and with that I turned around and headed out the office with Billy hot on my trail.
