CHAPTER ELEVEN - babysitting blues ( episode six ; the spy )
❀
⠀⠀PEYTON FOUND HERSELF UNUSUALLY UPSET UPON DISCOVERING Steve's BMW was one hell of a smooth drive. This was, however, no surprise considering its novelty. What was surprising, was that Steve's cassette collection didn't entirely suck. With Queen blaring from the speakers, Peyton's heavy boot weighed down the accelerator as they raced through the dimly lit country roads.
"Wait a sec," began Steve, already bewildered at the idea of being suddenly hauled back into the world of the supernatural "How big?" the Henderson kid sighed, poking his head between the drivers and passengers seat so unceremoniously it caused Peyton to swerve.
"Careful, man!"
"You wanna kill us all?" the elder teens yelled atop of each other, although blatantly ignored by the unbothered 13-year-old, his peers exchanging anxiety-ridden looks as they gripped their seatbelts for dear life.
"First it was like that," began Dustin, fingers held barely two inches apart, "Now he's like this," arms suddenly spread, Peyton found herself once against swatting him away when he accidentally blocked her view of the road.
"Okay, we get it, sit down!" launching himself backward with a huff, Steve and Peyton exchanged a look that, for once, was one of mutual annoyance at someone else's behavior rather than each other's.
"I swear to God, man," Steve shook his head suspiciously, glancing at the boys through the rearview mirror, "It's just some little lizard, okay?"
"It's not a lizard!" insisted Dustin, increasingly annoyed at their lack of faith in his story.
"How do you know?" questioned Steve; at this point, Peyton was growing suspicious of whether he truly had that many questions or if he simply enjoyed bugging the Henderson boy.
"How do I know if it's not?"
"How do you know it's not just a lizard?"
"Because his face opened up and he ate my cat!" anger getting the better of him, Dustin hadn't realized what he'd done until the words left his mouth. Sure, Steve finally believed him. But it meant a life-changing detail had been suddenly revealed to a certain Harrington sister.
"What?" the first time she'd piped up in what felt like hours, Peyton stared through the rearview mirror with wide eyes at the clueless young girl sitting behind her brother.
Suddenly dawning on them that Sidney was the only person in the car that had no idea about the Upside Down and the monstrous things that came with it, a look of sympathy met Steve's saddened eyes. And she was tempted to ask if he wanted to take her someplace safe but, knowing her Harrington genes, she wouldn't leave them without a fight.
