episode 1 (pt 2): Mad Max
On her way to the school bathroom, June stumbled across someone. An oddly familiar, muscular boy with a long curly mullet.
Billy Hargrove.Billy Hargrove was a new kid at her school. He-for some reason-seemed to get most of the girls in the high school. She was confused because from what she's perceived, he was some cocky guy. He has such an ego and he thinks he can be the next "Keg King" in Hawkins High. Even Tommy H hangs out with him now.
Besides that, he was blocking her way, making her unable to enter the bathroom. She huffed and looked at him with frustration, "Can I help you?"
He smirked at her. "I've heard about you." She furrowed her eyebrows.
"I really don't care. Move." Saying that, she shoved him away from the door frame, but he just moved in front of her again. Staring at her with intimidating eye contact, in a bad way.
"Oh my God, seriously! What's your problem?!" She yelled at him. He inched closer to her trying to make her blush or whatever 'charm' he thinks he holds on women. But that wasn't the way she thought of him, she thought he was disgusting and a genuinely frustrating person.
"I don't have a problem, you're the one who has a problem here. You've got a real ego." He mumbled the last sentence under his breath, but loud enough for her to hear.
"You're the one acting like you own the place." She grinned.
"What did you just say?" He stared at her angrily.
"You heard me."
Billy scoffed and pushed her aside, walking away. As he turned his back, she flipped him off and walked in the bathroom. Finally.

"Hey again," A voice called from behind while June was washing her hands. She slightly jumped then looked behind her. It was Michelle. "Oh, hi."
"I overheard people arguing, didn't think it was you but here we are." Michelle said walking to the sink.
"Yeah, it was that douchebag Hargrove." She answered. The black-haired girl looked up at her. "Did he do something... like-to you?" She was trying to find the right words to make sure she's not offensive.
"Oh!" June realized what she meant after a second of trying to process. "No, no, no. Don't worry," She started, "He was trying to hit on me, I really couldn't care less though."
"Wow. Some real douchebag, huh?" Michelle laughed. "Exactly! I really don't understand the guys in this school. Sometimes I wish they were like Tom Cruise." She said looking down on the floor.
Michelle clicked her tongue then leaned on the counter. "Standards too high." June laughed at the statement and nodded her head in agreement. "But, hey, Harrington looks like he's changed." Michelle added.
June gasped, "Maybe. I still don't believe it, though. Just because he isn't hanging out with the popular people now, doesn't mean he's a good person. I'll always hate him." She crossed her arms and leaned her back against the wall.
"Woah, 'always hate' is too extra. What'd he do? Kill someone?" She wasn't totally wrong though. He did kill something. But that was for a good cause, if he hadn't done it she would've died.
"No, obviously, but he's just... Ugh! I don't know where to start," She began on with her rant, "Like, okay, sometimes he can be nice, but he hung out with Carol and Tommy H! Hanging out with Tommy H automatically makes you a bad person. He was also known for 'owning' the school. That leaves me to my final statement, he's the clingiest boyfriend in the UNIVERSE."
"You do realize ninety nine percent of what you said had past tense?"
"Yeah, so?" She shrugged.
"So, you don't know him now."
"Well you don't either..." She sighed.
"Fine. Let's just talk about something else, yeah?" Michelle suggested. She did not want to hear someone ranting about their worst enemy. Would've stressed her out. Once she's stressed, she starts breaking out, and that's terrible for her.
"Yeah, sure."
