Year 6

Eddie's PoV
First day of grade six, I dragged my feet as I was walking into school. My last year of primary school and then it's done, I've just got to get through it then I can go to boarding school far away from here.

A group of boys my age pushed past me and I watched as they ran in a pack down the corridor. I recognised a few, Steve Harrington, Tommy Hagen, Chris Smith, Ethan Anderson. The main four, the school royalty. They were assholes.

As I walked down the hall I tried to keep my head up. I was going to start this year strong, the states from the younger grades couldn't stop me, I was officially one of the eldest kids in the school.

I peered into the classroom that would be mine for the rest of the year. The group of boys from before were sitting on top of the desks talking loudly and Steve looked up at me. We locked eyes for a second before he looked away and I continued looking around the room.

There was a group of girls sitting on the floor at the back of the room, messing around with eachother, although two girls were sitting at their desks quietly, I recognised one of them as Robin Buckley. There were a few other kids who were new or didn't have any friends in this class yet.

I sat down next to Robin, she was nice enough that I knew she wouldn't ice me out but mean enough so that I probably wouldn't have to talk to her much.

She smiled as I sat down. "Hey Eddie."

"Hi Robin."

"I'm glad we're both in this class. I mean, not glad because the asshole boys are here but glad that I don't have to put up with them on my own, you know?"

I nodded. "Yeah I had a few of them in my class last year.. that wasn't fun. I can't imagine the havoc they'll cause all together."

Robin shrugged. "Who knows, maybe they'll cause too much havoc and be split into different classes."

I turned around and watched Steve put Tommy in a headlock and run his head, like some shit you'd see in a movie.

The teacher entered the room and everyone made their way to their seats. Mrs Tucker smiled at us all and I sighed in pity. She was new and had no idea the hell storm that was about to enter her life.

"Goodmorning everyone." She said.

About half the class repeated "Goodmorning Miss" back to her and the other half started whispering to eachother.

"So as you know, I'm Mrs Tucker. I was thinking we could all introduce ourselves and one thing we're looking forward to this year."

Steve put his hand up first and she pointed to him, indicating he could speak.

"I'm Steve Harrington and I'm looking forward to getting out of this shithole at the end of the year."

Mrs Tuckers smile quickly left her face and she clapped her hands together. "Well then, you must be the Steve Harrington I was warned about. Good to know."

"What'd you mean miss?" He responded, he knew exactly what she meant he just likes to shit stir.

Mrs Tucker smiled sweetly. "I was told you're a bit of a trouble maker and I was given your fathers work number and told to call him at any minute."

I was watching Steve's face carefully and for a second his mask slipped and his face reflected pure fear, he quickly regained his posture and smiled. "Alright miss."

A few of his friends snickered and I glanced at Robin who was also watching Steve with a confused look on her face.

"Did you see that?" I whispered to her.

"See what?"

"For a second there he looked really really- scared."

Robin shrugged. "I dunno. I mean if could've been, but probably not- he's unfazed by everything."

I nodded, still not really sure what to think. Something at the back of my mind told me something was wrong but I couldn't quite put my finger on it.

I turned back to the teacher and sat in anticipation for the rest of the year.

A/n
I have a bit of a writers block atm cause I'm trying to get chapters saved up for when I go away, and have chapters written for this week as well.

Gonna start giving you guys Christmas song trivia at the end of these cause it's fun. So, what famous Australian song has the following line; "I guess the brothers are driving down from Queensland."?

There's a hint in the comments if you need more info to guess!
