'Chapter Two: Trick or Treat, Freak'

'Drinking the night away'

"Go Kyle!" I yell cheering him on as Jenni takes his photo. "How you gonna call-" Jenni declares "GHOSTBUSTERS!" I yell laughing. Kyle continues to pose, I know there's only four main guys and there's five of them one of them is bound to mess up something, knowing them.

"Jules get on in there!" She says tapping my shoulder and I smile running into the picture. I pretend to be the green guy and Kyle points his shooter or gun thing at me. I know that's wrong but I don't know what to call it. "Perfect shot!" Jenni squeals. She turns the camera to her and holds me and Kyle. We smile as she takes the picture.

I hear a car beep outside the front letting me know it was Steve picking me up for school. "Gotta go" I smile kissing both their cheeks. "Love you" Jenni shouts as Kyle says the same. "Loves you!" I yell running to the kitchen to grab my back and running outside the door.

I see Steve beeping again and again telling me to hurry up. Surprisingly I look next to him and see no Nancy. Odd. That's not like Nancy to not get in the car with us. Did their dinner go okay last night? So many thoughts scramble through my mind as I jump into the car. "Took your dam time!" Steve whines hitting the wheel and I roll my eyes. "Shut up Steve since when do you wanna get to school early?" I question and he scoffs.

My heart starts beating as I begin to feel hot. I don't like this effect he has on me, the worse part about it is he doesn't even know he's doing it! "Where's Nancy?" I question curiously as he steps on the gas and starts to drive. "She decided to meet us there apparently" he shrugs his shoulders. I turn my head to the window watching as he drive pass the trees. I feel like I can't pull my head away it's addicting to keep looking out here for no reason. Does anyone else feel that?

I feel so close to Steve now I could even smell his fresh scented cologne he wears which makes me weak in the knees. I need to get out of this car to breathe. I turn my head over to Steve's direction and stare at him. Luckily his eyes linger on the road since he's driving which gives me a chance to take in all his features. He can dress himself, his outfits do something to me I don't know why or it's just the fact I'm falling for him now which is not something you hear everyday since I use to hate the guy. I still do by the way, that's not changing.

I want to run my hands through his hair and play with the soft strands which fall on his forehead. I want to tug it softly driving him insane. His everything is just so...mesmerising. It's Steve Harrington of course. I know I shouldn't be thinking these things since he's my closest friends boyfriend but I can't help it. It makes me want to think about him ever more.

Apart from that he's so sweet from the little bits I've seen, I wish I could see all of it. I play with the heart dangling on my neck. This necklace is making me think. I want to ask him why he got it for me and what it means but I don't want to put him on the spot. He loves Nancy and she loves him. It breaks my heart but I can't do anything about it, which is the most heartbreaking thing.
