Coming up to Tina's house, Judy chained her bike to a light post. There were cars parked up and down the street. Judy would've looked for Steve's but they all looked the same. Walking up the driveway, filled with cars and teenagers, Judy was already regretting coming, and seeing Billy Hargrove doing a handstand over a keg made the decision that much more dreadful.
Slipping by as fast as she could to avoid Billy, Judy walked through the front door to find pretty much the entire student body of Hawkins high. It was honestly pretty incredible how many bodies could fit into one home.
Judy tried her best to step on her tiptoes to see if Nancy or Steve was anywhere close by. Weaving in and out of people dancing and drinking, Judy could finally see the tall head of hair that belong to Steve, and then Nancy who was standing next to him.
"Nancy! Nance!" Judy tried to yell over the music, but figured she didn't make much noise, since her two friends hadn't looked up from their awkward stance. "Steve!"
At one more call, Steve finally looked up, surprised to hear his name called over the crowd. He took off his sunglasses as he looked over the dancing heads. A small hand came above in a wave, the arm connected to Judy. She had a small smile but was visibly struggling to push through some people.
Just as Steve was going to help Judy by grabbing her hand, Billy came up behind her. Steve only stopped to watch the strange interaction. As a hand suddenly held onto Judy's, behind her back. Shocked at the sudden contact, Judy tried to yank her hand away, only to be faced by Billy, sweaty and wreaking alcohol.
"You said you wouldn't be here, sweet cheeks. I missed you." He said, exasperated, grabbing onto Judy's face with both hands. In his drunken state he tried to kiss Judy, who only ducked as far as she could away from him.
"Gross!" She yelled with a grimace, struggling to peel his hands off her face. Billy only seemed to relish in the challenge. "Steve!"
Judy yelled again, turning out of Billy's grasp on her face, which only then moved to her hips. With the pressure of Billy's body on Judy's back, and the gyrating teens around them, Judy was beginning to feel like the world was caving in. It was hot and she was bothered, but finding Steve on the other side pushing his way to Judy, she was hopeful.
Like a knight in shining armor, Steve came up and warned off Billy who only laughed and winked at Judy. Steve led the two of them back over to Nancy, who was visibly annoyed. Whether it was at Judy or not wasn't very clear.
"Come on, let's go over here." Steve said, guiding Judy with a hand on her back. Nancy followed close behind them into the kitchen, away from Billy.
"Who are you supposed to be?" Nancy said snarkily, looking Judy up and down for the second time today.
Confused by where her friends attitude, Judy returned the favor, "Angus Young." Judy said, matter of factly. "From AC/DC."
Nancy only rolled her eyes and turned around, standing in front of the punch bowl.
