64. Overthinking

CHAPTER SIXTY-FOUR
OVERTHINKING

After Kimmy had caught up with the others, she quite frankly had to force a certain sandy blond haired boy from her mind, knowing there were more important matters at hand than her feelings regarding that said blond.

The brunette wanted Aaron to come with the group, either that or she would stay in the mall with the others, at least it would save her some worrying. Kimmy didn't really want to leave the blond, she knew he'd be fine, but she wanted him with her. It may have been selfish of her to think so, but Kimmy didn't really care.

Instead she focused on the four walking ahead of her, nearly tripping over her feet as she did her best to keep up.

"Hey, Steve?" Kimmy yelled curiously at the boy who was leading the group out towards the mall exit. "I thought the Russian's took your car keys?"

"They did." Steve shrugged simply, not bothering to explain any further as he continued to walk at quite a rapid pace.

Kimmy scoffed at his answer, throwing her arms up frustratedly as she looked ahead dumbfounded.

Kimmy was puzzled beyond belief at what the older boy would supposably be driving, even further perplexed at how no one else seemed to be questioning it.

However the girls questions didn't go unanswered for too long, the second the exit doors were pushed open by the boy he began to laugh.

"Oh, man, now this..." Steve laughed, completely in awe as he exited the mall. "This is what I'm talkin' about."

Since Kimmy was behind the group, she couldn't really see what he was looking at until she too left the building. Her eyes widening when she did so.

A very expensive looking car was parked right ahead of them, Kimmy didn't know the exact brand, but with the way Steve had reacted she could have guessed it would be a big deal to drive it.

Her brows furrowed at the number plate - it was clearly a private reg, however she had no idea what it was actually meant to say.

"Toddfather?" Robin scoffed, clearly much less impressed than Steve was over the car.

"Oh, screw Todd!" Steve exclaimed excitedly, moving closer to the car to inspect it. "Steve's her daddy now."

Kimmy rolled her eyes in disgust at what Steve was implying. Sure, the car clearly was somewhat expensive, the girl had never seen a car like that in Hawkins before. Although, she didn't think that something such as a car deserved to be praised the same way Steve was praising it.

"How is a car that's not even for you that serious?" Kimmy asked utterly perplexed - no malicious intent behind her words, just curiosity.

"Why did you just talk about yourself in the third person?" Robin asked the boy bluntly next as the group made there way to the car doors.

"Did you just call yourself daddy?" Erica scoffed at Steve as she climbed in the car, Kimmy going into the car to sit beside her.

"Alright," Steve spoke in a clearly happy voice, completely ignoring the three girls who had spoken to him. "Where we going?"

"Weathertop." Dustin answered calmly from the backseat.

"Weather-what?" Steve retorted with his face scrunched up, going to turn in his seat to face the three in the back but halting when Dustin replied.

"Just drive." Dustin groaned in an annoyed tone, his voice raising slightly from stress.

"Okay. Jesus!" Steve snapped in a low voice, revving the engine before speeding off at such a swift pace that it had Kimmy clutching onto the car door as her eyes widened.
