Chapter 2

Chatper 2 (Tatum's POV)

        THE FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL

   "Bye, mom," I say. It was my first day of school, also Halloween. I got out of the car and walked into the school. Couples were making out in the hallway, and people were laughing, but as soon as I walked in, everything stopped. All eyes we on me.

 I took a deep breath and confidently walked down the hallway. My dad always told me to be confident. People liked confidence, which is what he said. I looked around for Nancy. She was talking to Jonathan Byers. Jonathan Byers was always weird, but we were friends when I was little. 

"Hi Nancy!" I say joyfully. 

"Tatum! What are you doing here?" Jonathan says.

 "I don't know if you heard, but my dad passed, so I'm living with my mom and Dustin again." I say. 

"Oh, I'm so sorry I didn't hear that." He says. 

I shrug, "Anyway, Hi Tatum." Nancy says.

"Hi." I say.

 All of a sudden, this boy comes around the corner and grabs Nancy by the waist, and starts kissing her. He was wearing sunglasses so I couldn't tell who it was, but he had some nice hair. I looked over at Jonathan to see if he knew, but his eyes were on Nancy. He looked sad.

 "Take those stupid things off." Nancy says. The boy takes the sunglasses off, and it is Steve. As soon as he took the glasses off, we immediately made eye contact. He looked extremely shocked. 

"Steve Harrington?" I shout.

 "Tatum Henderson?" He shouts back. He suddenly lets go of Nancy. Steve Harrington was my ex-boyfriend. Our 8th grade relationship was complicated. Me and him were always referred to as the 'The King and The Queen', and we were always on and off, but we loved each other. Maybe it was a little serious for being 14. Anyways, back to the point.. I had a biggest crush on him, and Nancy knew that.

 I felt betrayed, "How you been? I heard your dad passed. Sorry about that..." Steve says akawardly.

How did he know that? Only a few people knew, and Nancy wouldn't tell him that, right? I mean, she never even mentioned him to me, so why would she mention me to him.

"I've been doing good..." I say. I look over to Jonathan, and he is almost all the way down the hall. "I gotta go to class." I say.

I chased after Jonathan. "What just happened? Can you like explain." I say.

"Did Nancy tell you about my brother going missing?" He asks. 

"Yeah.. she also told me about everything else." I say jogging to keep up with his pace.
