Xavier drums his fingers against his thigh as he waits for Jonathan by the front doors. He hums as a car speeds by, music blaring and furrows his eyebrows. He was unsure if there was someone new in town.
"Boo," whispered someone behind him.
Xavier jumped, turning around with a fist raised. "Mother fuck-"
"Mhm, nice to see you to Xavi," Jonathan said raising his eyebrow.
"You suck."
Jonathan laughed as they two walked into the building, pulling the younger boy with him. Xavier grumbled about it only happening because he was distracted.
"New kid?" Jonathan asked.
"Think so," he replied. "Dust was complaining about a new high score on the arcade to me- did you know that little twat took my quarters? No dejo ni por favor o nada and-"
"New kid Xavi," Jonathan inturrupted softly.
"Right," he said. "Anyways, he said something about a Max but who knows really," he finished shrugging.
Jonathan hummed and the two walked into their first period class, heads low whispering to each other about Bob. The pair seperated between second and third period and when the bell for lunch rang, Xavier was leaning against the wall in the hall where Nancy's locker was. He watched as kids rushed past trying to get off campus for lunch or simply head to the cafeteria.
It wasn't until Steve surprised Nancy, grabbing her from her waist that he turned away for a second, feeling his heart tug for a bit. He scrunched his nose and watched as Jonathan walked by.
"Hold up Jonny boy," he said as he walked after him, swinging an arm over his shoulder.
"We got invited to a party," the older boy told him handing him the orange sheet of paper.
"Come get sheet faced," Xavier read. "Clever. Hey who do you think comes up with these things really?"
Jonathan shrugged and unlocked his car, settling in.
"What?" Xavier asked him.
"Nothing-"
"Is it Nancy-"
"Drop it Xavi."
"It isn't embarrassing if that-"
"Right cause your little crush on Harrington isn't either."
Jonathan closed his eyes letting a sigh exhale from his nose. "I'm sorry," he said.
Xavier hummed, picking at his cuticles. "I'm gonna go," he said after a moment of silence and got out the car.
Moments like that the younger boy knew he had pushed the other too far. Neither of them truly knowing how to set their bounderies on what they could and what not to talk about. The walk back to the school was quite. He sighed softly, shaking his head to clear his thoughts.
He found himself in an alleyway at the school and pulled out a cigarette. There was something slightly refreashing about smoking after an argument. Xavier sighs as he lights it up and smokes. He hears footsteps and expects to see Eddie or Jonathan, even Steve or Nancy.
It's none of them.
"Mind if I bum one off of you man?"
Xavier hums softly and hands the other boy a cigarette. He watches as the boy grabs it from him and he hands him a lighter.
"You're the new kid aren't you?" he asks.
The other boy had a grown mullet, blonde and taller than Xavier.
"Yeah," he replies. "Names Billy."
The bell rings and both boys put out their cigarettes.
"See ya 'round." Billy tells him.
Xavier nods and walks to his locker. Jonathan stands there with a grimace.
"Xavi.."
"Chill, we're good."
Jonathan looks like he wants to say more. Xavier watches as his face goes through the different motions of the thoughts.
"You gonna go to the party?" Xavier asks as he nudges the boy to walk.
"I dunno.." he replies.
The younger boy hums as they sit in their seats.
"Mom wants me to take Will trick or treating." Jonathan tells him.
"Still scared?"
"Yeah."
"Well... they should finish around 10 latest." Xavier says. "If anything we can meet at the party if you show."
"You're gonna go?"
"Jon, my man, it is free alcohol and Munson will be doing party favors."
"Aren't you mad at him?"
"That's neither here or there."
"I'm pretty sure-"
"Dude I will kick you."

Xavier sat outside his house waiting for Dustin. He looked out in the darkness, a hand on a hidden knife.
"I figured it out!" Dustin yelled out as he biked into the driveway.
"How you're gonna pay me back?" Xavier replied.
"What- no! Who MadMax is."
"Lame."
Dustin gets off his bike and starts walking towards Xavier.
Chirp.
Both boys look at each other and then towards where the noise came from.
"Did Mews get out?" Dustin asked.
"No Dust, Mews is inside." replied the older boy.
Silence passed and Dustin shrugged. Xavier took off the boys hat and pushed him towards the door.
"Pa dentro," Xavier said.
"Yeah yeah, I'm going."
