"alright Steve we gotta head to 3rd period" Robin cut Steve out his daze. he picked up his tray, and headed to put it away. on his way out waving to Mike and Lucas who smiled and waved back.

"who do you have next?"Robin pried her schedule in her pocket which was folded the same as Steves. He pulled his out and checked it, both stopped at the stairwell. "i have" he clicked his tongue as he scanned the paper. "Mr. Smith, Phys Ed" he said in a displeased tone, folding his paper and shoving it in his back pocket. "damn, i have English" she chuckled at Steve's face, biting his cheek with his arms crossed like a middle aged dad. "come on, we go the same direction" she put the paper in her pocket and patted his shoulder, leading them to their classes.

"this is my class, see ya Harrington" she winked before opening the door. Steve nodded before walking to the gym, his hand held on his backpack strap and the other in his jean pocket. he walked in the gym to people warming up, playing basketball and others sitting on the bleachers sitting out, mostly girls. he walked along the wall to not get it with the ball, heading in the teachers direction who was writing on a clip board.

"uh, hello" Steve greeted, looking to the teacher who he had spooked. "oh your.." he gave Steve a look up and down then looked to his chart. "Steve Harrington?" he nodded, straightening his back as the teacher smiled. "well welcome, we're just warming up. you can join those boys over there" he rested his hand on Steve's shoulder then pointed to a group of boys who were huddled up at the end hoop. "alright." he gave an awkward smile, uncomfortable with the teachers unneeded touchiness. setting his backpack down next to him then walked to the group. the group murmured among each other as Steve walked up, giving Steve quick glances before he walked up. "hey" he nodded, looking at each of the players. "your Steve Harrington?" One of the guys asked, his hands on his hips. "uh yeah.." the guys eyes went wide, his hands falling down off his hips, "is it true that you beat the shit out of Billy?!" another kid butted in, stepping in front of the other guy. he gave the player a glare who bumped in front of him, then back to Steve. "i guess" surprised people still believed that somehow believable rumor, but went along. "holy shit!" a 3rd play yelled, jumping with his hands on another's shoulder.

Steve crept his hands in his jacket pockets, startled by the reaction. it wasn't that big of a deal in Steves opinion. sure billy was hella strong, but wasn't a WWE player. but that's what people took him for.

"can we just play now?" Steve waved his hands at the bouncing players, shaking his head. "yeah" they all stopped, looking at Steve. "what's your names?" "i'm Daniel, this is Cody, and that is Ryan" Daniel answered as he pointed them out. "now pick teams" Steve felt as if he was a teacher to children. "i'll be with Steve" Cody said, moving to Steves side while the others gave him a glare.

"alright, we'll start" Steve said lastly, kicking the ball up with his foot, twisting his hands on the ball. a quick snicker slipped through his lips, feeling superior to these guys. Steve and his teammate lined up, ready to start. "ready?" Daniel asked, cracking his fingers and neck like this was a bet on money. "sure" Steve rolled his eyes at the guys seriousness. then started to game.

Steve and his teammate won by a long shot before class ended, the opponents gasping for breath. "god damn Steve.. i forgot how good you were" Ryan huffed out, his hands on his knees. Steve crossed his arms looking at the guys. "i did too" he smirked. maybe the title Steve "The King" Harrington suited him fairly.

"Alright everyone drop the basketballs on the rack and head to 4th period!" the teacher shouted. all the students messing around one last time before returning the balls. Steve set his ball on the rack, turning around to grab his bag. as he turned around he bumped into someone's chest. "oh sorry man" Steve apologized, backing up with his hands held in front of him. "Steve" Chance looked at Steve with snob painted all over him. Steve took a swift breath and sighed through his nose.
