{A/n Hey! I'm sorry for taking actually so long to update, I got grounded and almost died lol, and I had writers block and kinda still do. I might switch around the point of view its in. Like 1st and 2nd. Because I'm not sure which one would fit my writing better so I'm gonna play around with it a little. And I know that some people don't like 1st person soo... Also im using some like older terms from the 80s to be more authentic🤩}

It was finally Wednesday. You had managed to avoid conversation with Billy for the most part, other than when you had to discuss things about the project. It was your last period of the day and only 20 minutes left. You had a singular friend in this class and it was Steven. 

"Yo! Is number 7 a or c?" Steve whispered quietly to you. You were all in the middle of taking a Biology test and like always you and Steve were help-cheating with each other. You checked over your paper quickly and drew three dots on the paper. You and him had a system so you didn't get caught but obviously Harrington forgets that sometimes. 

Everyone finished up in about 10 minutes giving you another 10 left of free time. Since the teacher didn't give a shit she let you all leave the classroom if you wanted and hang out in the hallways or roam the school. 

Both Steve and you immediately went to your lockers and picked up your stuff, waiting for the bell to ring. Suddenly Steve spoke, "Y'know that Hargrove kid?" you nodded, "Well he is a pain in my ass. He came to this school, MY school, and thinks he can just steal MY title! I'm the king of Hawkins High! And he busts in all 'high and mighty' swooping every girl off their feet and kicking my ass in basketball and just in general!" he had a whine in his voice that made you laugh lightly. 

"Kicking your ass? As in you've already tried to fight him? No offence and remember that I totally love you, but have you seen the size of him? I mean his muscles have muscles. You could definitely get your ass handed to you by him any day," just because you didn't like the guy doesn't mean you cant see the obvious.

"Wow Y/n wait to let me down gently. But you're wrong, I could totally beat him. I'm just a bit.. rusty," he said sheepishly.

"Just skip the fighting entirely, I don't want you to get hurt Steve. At least not too badly," you grinned.

He was going to continue talking but the sudden shriek of the bell interrupted him. You both darted your way out of the school and to your cars. Leaning to set your stuff in the backseat you simultaneously turned the radio up while waiting for Dustin to walk up so you could take him to the arcade.

The song 'Bad Reputation' started quietly playing out the speakers. You quickly turned it up, the speakers vibrating from the loudness. You loved the song, one of your favorites. Only because you never really had the chance to even get the slightest of bad reputations. Always held with high responsibility because of good grades at a young age. You never even really got to have a rebellious phase. (Not that you really needed one since your mother was amazing). 

Tapping the steering wheel to the beat, you saw Dustin walking over. You turned down the music and honked so he saw you.

~ time skip ~

You were sitting in your bed, reading The Outsiders again. You checked the clock and it read 3:40. You groaned, dreading what was to come. Slipping on a band tee so you weren't indecent when your partners showed up at your house.{cuz sometimes u just gotta lay down in your bra,, idk what to say} In the middle of picking objects up off of your floor, you heard a knock.

Who already came?  Going to open the door you realized it was Eddie. He grinned and gave a little bow type greeting. Someone was standing behind him, but it wasn't Billy. The guy had half purple half black hair. He had a few face piercings, a nose ring and a stud on the other side, a septum and a bridge piercing, and his ears were gauged. And a shit ton of tattoos. You had always wanted a nose piercing but never got one.
