"Friends to ...?" Harringrove

Chapter 2:

Steve's pov:

The alarm ring the same way it did as usual.I groaned as the ringing pounded my ear , I slowly turn to turn off my alarm before laying back sprawled out on my bed staring at the ceiling. My eyes felt heavy after a good minute or two , so i thought I might catch five more minutes in bed.

I woke up again, this time with a rather rude one,this time it was no alarm clock, but a very loud scream down my ear. I jolted awake whilst letting out a loud scream before finally realising who it was. "what the hell mom?!"

"Steve Harrington! You're late to school again!"

"So? It's only school .. it's shitty anyways.." I trailed off before my mother left my room looking very annoyed , not even a second later I heard her scream upstairs "YOU BETTER BE READY IN TWO MINUTES STEVE OR YOURE NOT GETTING YOUR CAR FOR TWO WEEKS!"

Fuck. I thought. If I lose my car then how the hell am I supposed to go around and hang around with my mates? I couldn't even finish my thoughts before I realised I still hadn't gotten ready.

SHIT. I quickly grab my jeans , and a blue top before I made a quick stop at my mirror to fix my hair, dashing out the door only a moment later.

I walked through the empty halls making my way to chemistry.I always hated the subject. The only reason I like it better now was because I was next to my best friend Billy.I had known him for years, he'd been my best friend since 3rd grade, he was always by my side no matter what.

I quietly snuck into the class room before only getting halfway before I was caught by Mr Clarke. "Mr.Harrington you're late, again.."

"Sorry mr Clarke I was helping a grandma cross the street" I could hear Billy's chuckling behind me, that sound always used to calm me down , his voice...his eyes...his laugh .. he was just perfect. "Mr Harrington!" I quickly snapped out of my trance and focused back on the teacher, "yes sir?".

"What are you doing standing? Go sit down!"

I nodded before making my way to my desk. "You want a puff?"Billy said holding a cigarette, "nah I'm good"

"Alright..." the class went by pretty slowly and by the end Billy and I had already lost all of our attention and started throwing paper aeroplanes across the room.

I threw one around the room whilst mr Clarke wasn't looking and by some bad luck, it had hit the back of his head.He slowly turned around and only said very calmly, "who threw that?" He paused for a brief moment, "WHO THREW THAT?!" He screamed leaving everyone to point at me.

"OH FUCK YOU" I looked up and met the fiery gaze of our teacher before. He then regained his calmness and simply told me "you have a detention"

I plainly replied with an okay before heading on out.

Later after school I reluctantly made my way to detention, and to my surprise the only person I found there was none other than Billy. The boy that was my best friend. The boy that is so perfect that it hurts sometimes because I know he doesn't like me back. But we had to be rivals, nobody knew we were friends, let alone best friends.

He turns around and once his eyes met mine, he had a huge smile plastered onto his beautiful face "hey pretty boy"

"Hey.., the fuck are you doing here?"

"I called a teacher a cunt"

Classic.. Billy the bad boy.

The bad boy that had all the girls falling for him left and right, he's got the reputation for dating everyone and being able to get who he wants whenever he wants.

If only he knew how much I liked him, then maybe he would actually want me for me , and not as just a new boyfriend every week.

"Helloooo?????"

I snapped back to reality to realise Billy was right in front of me , "you okay? Did you not hear me? I said I liked your shirt"

"Oh - t-thanks" I smiled awkwardly as a light blush creeped up my neck. Billy only responded with a smile, he then looked at me straight in the eyes and oh, how I could melt into those eyes any day , his gaze made my knees go weak and before I knew it within every second we were getting closer and closer until suddenly he kissed me.

I couldn't even think straight, all I could process was the feeling of his soft lips against mine.. before I felt him pull away. I slowly opened my eyes to his staring in mine , we stayed like that for a bit vendors the teacher walked in and let us go home. That car ride home I thought of the things that just happened. Not believing anything.

I got out of the car, still shocked, I unlocked the front door and walked towards my room upstairs. I didn't really wanna talk to anymore but Robin, cus she gets it. I closed the door, and quickly called Robin.

On the phone:

"Yes dingus?"

"Robin. We need to talk, like please."

"What's wrong dingus? Ofc we can talk?"

"It's.. something happened at school today."

"What happened? Did someone do something to you?"

"Yes.. we'll it was in detention"

"You got detention?!?!?!"

"Yes but that's not important rn."

"Yes it is, tell me about that tomorrow at work, but what happened in detention?"

"Billy.."

"What did he do? Did you guys get into a fake fight again?"

(She knows about it being fake)

"No no.. he uhm.."

"What did he do dingus?"

"He kissed me Robin!"

"He what???"

"Yeah.. he did"

"Omg!!! Why don't you sound happy about it?"

"It felt different.. I'm not sure how I feel about it, he never did that before Robin!"

"Maybe he likes you? Maybe he just wanted to taste~" she said with a laugh afterwards

"Robinnn!"

"Sorry sorry, but maybe he does?"

"I dont know robin.. he flirts with everyone at the school(that are girls) "

"Yes but he calls you pretty boy, and I see the way he looks at you(when he goes to scoops)"

"Maybe.. i dont know robin, I don't wanna overthink anything"

They talk for about an hour about it

"Ok ok, we can talk later dingus, it's getting late, cya at scoops!"

We both say bye, and we hung up, I change into pjs and get into the bed, but I can't sleep..

"Why did he do that?"

"Does he not want to be friends anymore?"

"Does he like me?"

"Does he like someone??"

Those words kept going in my head, maybe he did like someone.. after an hour of thinking again, I tried to drift back to sleep.
