TWO | HALLOWEEN
"So how did it go last night?" Olivia asks Nancy at her locker.
"Terrible." She sighs. "They hired some private investigator to "find her" because they think she's missing. And they're selling their house. You should have seen the looks on their faces. They're so hopeful."
"Well unfortunately there's nothing we can do about that."
"I suggested that we tell them some of the truth."
"Suggested to who? Steve?" She nods. "Come on Nancy you know that we can't say anything. Those guys from the government are assholes and they were willing to kill anyone just to get to Eleven. We can't risk putting the spotlight back on us again. So if that means that Barbara's parents have to believe a lie, then so be it." The bell rings for first period. "I gotta go. I'll see you at the party tonight."

Billy flops down in a chair next to Olivia during class.
"Peterson."
"Hargrove."
"You remembered my name. I'm shocked." Olivia rolls her eyes. "You going to the party tonight?" He asks.
"Why do you want to know?"
"Just wondering. I'm going."
"It's good to know you're being social."
"Speaking of being social... did you want a ride?"
"Where? To the party?" He nods. "I'm good. Thanks."
"I'm trying to be friendly." He whispers.
"Good for you."
"Well seeing as how you put a knife to my throat yesterday I think--"
"Don't do that."
"Do what?" He asks.
"Think. You might hurt yourself."
After school, Billy leans against his car waiting for his half sister Max.
"You're late again." Billy says.
"I had to get catch-up homework." Max says.
"Jesus Christ. I don't care Max. If you're late again, you're skating home. Got it?" Billy looks a couple cars down and sees Olivia watching their interaction. Her eyes narrow. "Just get in the car." He snaps.
She watches them get in his car and zoom off.

Billy walks outside after parading around Tina's Halloween Bash after being crowned Keg King.
It may be a hick town to him but they know how to party. He scans the crowd sees Olivia on a lawn chair with a cigarette in one hand and a beer in the other, taping her foot to Mötley Crüe blasting through the speakers.
