Eddie POV

Me and Steve hang out for awhile, we talk and get to know each other, and the more I spend time with him the worse I feel about turning him down and being rude to him, but I can't just change my mind now.

I still want to be in a good mind set before being in a relationship.. not that I'm really ever in a good mindset, but I want to try and pass this test of Wednesday and if I don't think I'll just get drunk and it'll all happen again and Steve shouldn't deal with that.

Maybe if I graduate this year  I'll think about being with him. Yeah I'll do that, if I passed the test then I graduate and I can finally do something with my life and that's when I can date Steve. Only if he still wants to.

"Dustin wanted me to take him and the others up to his radio tower so he can talk to his girlfriend to prove she's real, you wanna come?" Steve asks

"Yeah ok, I guess I can help babysit" I say half joking. he smiles as we get back in his car to go pick up the kids.

"Why are you two hanging out so much" Mike asks from the back. This kid is so whiny all the time jesus.

"Cuz you're all so annoying and need a second babysitter" he reply, putting my feet up on the dashboard then get out a cigarette

"No drugs in my car, I don't want lung cancer" Steve grabs the cigarette from my hand and chucks it out the window

"What the hell?" I mumble and lean back "you'd be more fun if you were high"

"Mhm well I've seen you high and you're not fun" he replies. I sigh and roll my eyes

"I had good reason to be high" I say under my breathe. He looks at me then looks away

"You're just upset that Someone actually wants to help you, it's no wonder you're single" he says quietly. I ignore him and look out the window "You know you can leave if you don't wanna be here" he says in a passive aggressive tone. I look at him and open the door "Jesus wait for me to pull over!"

"Fuck off" he's going so fucking so it'd be a miracle if I got hurt. I just out of the car and start walking home.

After a few minutes his car is driving next to me "Eddie get in I'll drop you home ok, but we're ages away from your place"

"Leave me alone Harrington" I refuse to look at him and keep walking

"Eddie? Can you get in the car cuz this is getting kinda annoying" max says through the back window.

"Fucking hell fine it'll make you all shut up" I get back in the car and slam the door shut. Steve reached over to my hand but I hit it away "don't touch me"

"I'm sorry.. I shouldn't have said that im just in a bad mood" he says softly to me but im like 90% sure the kids are all listening.

"Just drop me home, I have shit to do" I put my feet up on the seat and hold my knees. We eventually get to my place and I get out of my car and quickly go inside.

I go to my room and grab a book to start studying. But my mind keeps going back to Steve, is he right? Do I just push people that try to help away? Maybe I do, but I need to stop fucking thinking about him or I'm going to fail this test.

I end up staying up pretty late studying and and fall asleep with all my notes all over my bed but I don't really care.

On Tuesday I kinda just spend the whole day studying and ignore all my other responsibilities. eventually Wednesday rolls around and it's time for my test again

I walk in to the school and go straight to my class to wait for it to begin, while I'm waiting in the classroom Chrissy Cunningham walks into the classroom and sits next yo me "hey.. are you doing to make up test as well?" She asks

"Yeah.. you are?" She just nods. I'm a little surprised, I wouldn't have thought she's the kinda person to fail a test, according to the school she's pretty much perfect. "Cool"

A few other idiots come into the class and the teacher gives us the test.  My the end of it I'm relatively confident. A few people leave my me and Chrissy stay to get out marks back as soon as possible. "Are you graduating this year?" She asks while we wait.

I look at her "yeah hopefully, what about you?" I ask

"Yeah, I just need to pass this then I will" she smiles "um hey this is kinda a weird question but I head you sometimes sell stuff to people?"

"You want drugs?" I clarify and she nods

"I swear I'm not like a drug addict or anything I just.. I've been having a hard time and I want everything to feel better"

"Yeah it's no problem I can get you some stuff, we can meet in the woods after school if you want, but just so you know taking drugs won't always help" i reply

"I know.. I just want it for a bit" she plays with sleeves of her jumper.

I nod and soon the teacher gives us our test back then walks out. I look at the mark and smile, 64% holy shit I'm actually gonna graduate "Did you pass?"  I ask Chrissy

"Yeah did you?" I nod and smile. She hugs him "that's great! I'll see you later today then" she walks out of the classroom.
