Party | Chapter 2

ON THE WAY HOME, Rose once again thought about the situations she had experienced today. She had never been treated in such an encroaching manner. And it was strange, however, besides the aversion to this person, she also felt a little spark of excitement.
She had already had a date or two and apparently she had been really lucky so far. None of the guys had treated her like this. Not even Steve Harrington had been that rough on her, and he'd been kind of a jerk before he'd really hit it off with Nancy Wheeler. Rose knew Nancy somewhat, they weren't good friends, but every now and then they had met and talked. In the process she had said a thing or two about Steve and he actually seemed to have developed something like decency. Steve was also sometimes present at the meetings and he actually seemed much more mature.

That couldn't be said for Billy. So Rose couldn't understand this spark of excitement at all.

Lost in thought, she drove slowly down the street. And only now did she realize what Billy had been talking about. She was driving past the blue Camaro parked just two houses from her home. She had heard a few weeks ago that the old woman who had lived there before had apparently died and the house was empty.

Someone had bought it up very quickly and a new family had moved in. Therefore, the red-haired girl had also seemed familiar to her. She had seen her a few times skating on the street.
So she had cut Billy this morning, when he just wanted to park. He wasn't really right about that though, she had the right of way when she was on the main road and he wanted to pull out.... But he didn't seem to be the kind of person who really cared about traffic rules.
You could see that very well in his driving style, the way he had overtaken her and raced past her.

Rose now arrived at her house, parked and got out. She would now watch her little sister Ebony for a few hours while her parents went out. When the two of them got home again tonight, it was then time for her to go to a party herself.

She didn't know the guy very well and didn't plan to, but Steve Harrington's former best friend Tommy Hagan was throwing a huge party today. Pretty much everyone was invited. So Steve and Nancy had also asked Rose if she wanted to come, it would be fun. Rose liked to go to parties, but she wasn't sure if it would be that good if half of the high school would be there. Just the fact that she had to see Tommy was not a point in favor of the party. She disliked him very much with his whole manner. She would definitely check it out though. If she didn't like it she could always leave.

The evening came quickly, her little sister was not really exhausting and after she had put Ebony to bed, her parents also came back home.

Roselyn would now quickly get ready for the party, which had certainly been going on for an hour. She was also curious how the alcohol level would be there, she knew exactly, hardly anyone at the high school cared about such rules. She herself liked to drink a few beers, and she had no objection to something stronger in the punch bowl.
She would therefore also run to the party, if she would drink the one or other beer too much, she could then walk home comfortably in the pleasant night air.

So Rose set off on her way. She said goodbye to her parents and let them know that it would be late. Her parents were fortunately very relaxed, they let her do pretty much everything as long as her grades in high school worked out and the simplest rules were followed.
Every now and then, like tonight, she had to watch Ebony, otherwise she didn't have many obligations. It was just a round together, not many rules were needed at all. And Rose was very happy about that, so she herself had all the possibilities to develop and behave the way she liked and thought it was right.

Rose just walked past Billy's house, the blue Camaro was not in front of the door. Of course it wasn't. A thousand percent Billy was at the party, too. That would fit well with his behavior. There he could let all the girls stare at him and then just take what he wanted.
