Stranger Things Short Stories

School Dances

Steve:

- He would go completely over the top for it.

- He's be like one of those crazy pageant mums who puts so much thought into everything

- He goes out of his way to match with your outfit

- Does the whole prom king thing 

     - You've caught him practicing an acceptance speech in the shower a few times

- He makes you both take dance classes because he wants to slow dance with you but knows you'd both mess it up.

Eddie:

- He simply would not attend because why would he.

     - He did not like the idea of spending his Friday night at school with a bunch of people he hates

- Instead you'd spend the night at his watching some random horror movie he rented.

- When the movie's finished he'd drive you to buy some thing for dinner.

- The two of you would sit at the side of the road eating whilst making fun of the people who actually bothered to go to the dance.

- You'd go home and both get high

Max:

- You would really have to convince her to go because she really can't be bothered.

- Once you tell her about how the rest of the party is going and you don't want to be left out, she finally agrees.

- Steve drives you both to school where you both awkwardly linger near the food table.

- Eventually you convince her to dance with you and that's when she starts to have more fun and actually enjoys herself.

- You also make fun of the boys a lot

Peter:

- You tell Peter about what a school dance is and how you had to go to them when you were in school.

- He thinks they sound stupid and pointless and you sort of agree

- You then move on to talk about more pressing topics like how attractive he is.

Dustin:

- The night of the school dance, your mom drops you off at his house so Steve can pick you both up.

- You walk in to find Steve giving Dustin a pep talk in the bathroom.

     - This causes Dustin to get embarrassed because you can't stop laughing.

- The whole time Dustin is very sweet and respectful.

- You do some dancing, you eat loads of snacks and just have an all over good time.

Will:

- It was very awkward to say the least.

- Neither of you really wanted to go but your parents got all excited about it and pretty much forced you to go.

     - So you obviously forced Will to go with you.

- You both weren't fussed with dancing so you instead sat at one of the tables.

- You impressed will with your origami skills

- You left after an hour, calling Jonathan to pick you both up.

- You fell asleep watching tv on the sofa

Lucas:

- He wouldn't admit because he wanted to seem cool, but he was really excited about the dance

- He couldn't wait to ask you

- He took so many photos of you all dressed up together to the point where Erica was full on making fun of him

- He would not stop dancing

- He took you to get milkshakes after

Mike:

- Despite dating you, he got really nervous when it came to asking you to the dance.

- When it came to the actual dance he had no clue what to wear or what to do so he turned to Eddie for advice

     - Eddie's advice was shit

- His outfit completely clashed with yours because he had to get his mum to buy it for him

- He was awkward the whole time but it was still pretty fun

Nancy:

- It was your senior year so you felt kinda obligated to go to the school dance

- You got bored pretty easily so you ended up annoying your girlfriend Nancy instead

- She was writing the report for the school newspaper on the dance 

- You spent most of the night trying to convince her to take a break and dance with you

- She eventually agreed and you didn't let her go again for the rest of the night

Jonathan:

- You blackmailed him into taking you.

- He wouldn't go but you really wanted to so you told him you'd tell Joyce about his 'purple palm tree delight' if he didn't take you.

- You only managed to convince him to dance a few times but he did manage to take some great photos of you together.

- You did leave halfway through though so that you could meet up with Argyle.
