imagine: as high school juniors, you and steve develop an unlikely romantic relationship on a november night in mirkwood.
high school had always been a drag. i had been a junior homecoming queen in the fall, been one of the most popular girls in the school, and i had gone to prom my sophomore year with the star senior quarterback. but it had been that year at prom that had broken me. i became a laughing stock because the senior boy's ex showed up and ripped up my prom dress in front of everyone. it was unbelievable that i managed to maintain a reputation. i guess i had steve harrington to thank for that.
when mr. quarterback and his ex broke up, she took the most popular and gorgeous sophomore boy as her prom date. he became an unforgettable name: steve harrington. when mr. quarterback and his ex left prom together that night, steve had been the one to help me salvage the night and my dress. we had become good friends because of it, but we both knew we had feelings for one another. but we both also knew if we ever let the feelings overtake us, the popularity pyramid would overtake us. so we just didn't talk about it.
the fall of my junior year, my younger brother, jonathan byers, started giving me a hard time about my relationship with steve. i came home one night after seeing him and jonathan came out of his bedroom when he heard the door close.
"you're home late," he said.
"it's 10:30," i replied, "i'm sorry i wasn't given access to the early bird special at luby's like you were."
"you were with your boyfriend again, i assume," he ignored my comment entirely and raised an eyebrow.
"he's not my boyfriend." i rolled my eyes, "and why does it matter who i was with."
"you remember will disappearing, right?" jonathan asked.
"how could i forget? i was home that night, i shouldn't have let it happen," i replied.
"steve was here too, and i know it." jonathan said.
"and? what difference does that make?" i shot back. "you were supposed to be here but you were off disobeying mom like always."
"besides the point," he rolled his eyes, "i'm not gonna have something like what happened to will happen to you."
"oh so you don't want me out at night because i'm a woman?" i crossed my arms.
"i just don't appreciate how steve makes you drive home alone. he should drop you off." jonathan said. "as much as i disapprove of the guy, i think he's decent enough to do that."
"okay," i said slowly, "i'll ask him to do that."
"goodnight," jonathan said, going back into his bedroom.
ever since i had known steve, jonathan had been like that. it was always about how steve needed to do this and steve needed to do that. but then again, i appreciated jonathan's concern. will didn't really care. he was cool with steve but he didn't understand why we didn't just date already.
