——————- MADMAX
It's been almost a year since Mia was confirmed dead. Since Valerie discovered the other dimension. And since she fought an evil being from said dimension.
Although So much has happened, so little has changed. She wore the same clothes, had the same hair, went to the same school. Life was moving on. She had to move with it.
And she was. She has completely healed from the trauma from another world. And is starting 11th grade. But even if she wanted to sob for the rest of her life, she couldn't. she couldn't worry about what might've been or what could still happen. She had to move on.
She woke up like any other day, with her dad screaming that she was gonna be late. She ate breakfast, took a quick shower, and decided on an outfit. Dark blue jeans, with an off white long sleeve, a stripe going across the shirt. She grabbed the same converse she started 10th grade with, as well as grabbing her dark green jean jacket with a dark grey interior. She grabbed her bag, and was headed to the door.
"hey, hey, you forgetting something?" her dad said, making her stop in her tracks. "dad I'm gonna miss my buss" She said, stressed. He raised his eyebrows. She sighed, and went to give him a Kiss on the cheek.
"I love you" she said as she made her way out the door
"yeah, yeah love you too."
---------------
Valerie walked through the door being greeted with an orange piece of paper "better be there, Valerie ." Tina said as she handed the paper with a smile. She smiled back. She didn't really talk to Tina, she was more of a friend of a friend from Nancy.
As she looked at the paper it said 'come and get sheet faced', With a ghost drinking a beer under it. She sighed, putting it in her binder.
As she was walking the halls of school, she couldn't help but feel like something was watching her. It made her neck twitch.
When she looked up, Steve Harrington with sunglasses inside, blocked her vision, making her jump.
"Jesus Steve, give a girl a warning" She said shaking the nerves
"you okay?" he asked as he lifted the glasses to rest on his head
"yeah, I'm fine" she said as they walked to her locker.
He nodded, leaning against the lockers beside Valeries as she opened her own.
She stopped putting her books In the locker, realizing he was still there
"what's up?" she said, surprised he was talking to her without Nancy there. Or at least that's what he did last school year.
"huh-- oh nothing... hey you coming too that?" He asked looking at the neon orange sheet in-between her binder. She looked down at it.
"uh-- I don't know--" Steve interrupted her "oh come on, it'll be good for you" He looked at her pleadingly.
"please" he said giving her puppy dog eyes
she squinted her eyes, sighing, she said "fine." He smiled.
She closed her locker walking side by side with Steve until they were about to turn the corner. He put his finger to his lips, resting the glasses back on his face, as he tried to turn the corner, without notifying Nancy as she was talking with Jonathan.
Quickly, he came up behind her, grabbing her by the waist, and spinning her around.
"oh my god! take those stupid things off!" she squealed as she slapped him on the chest.
"I missed you" he said as the rested on the locker
"it's been like an hour" Nancy said
"tell me about it" Steve said as him and Nancy started to kiss. It started to suddenly get awkward for Valerie.
She saw that Jonathan was walking off so she decided to take the hint "I'm gonna go..." she said about to walk off.
"wait" Nancy stopped, pulling away from the kiss with Steve. As they both looked at her "you coming to dinner with the hollands tonight?" she asked, hopefully. She didn't want to go without Valerie.
"that's today?" Valerie cringed, not wanting to see the parents.
Nancy nodded, Valerie sighed "um, no-- I'm sorry nance. Have to make it back home" They both looked at her, a little bit disappointed "my mom" she said, justifying. They nodded.
As she walked away she felt guilty about lying to them. though she knew, she was not ready to see the Hollands
-----------
She was sitting in 3rd period, waiting for the time to go by. Doodling in her note bad, or staring down the clock.
"psst" a boy whispered, she didn't listen "psssssssst" catching her attention. She turned
"yes?" She asked. This boy had a cocky smile on his face
"I'm billy" He smiled "hmmm.. interesting" she said turning around, wanting this conversation to be over
"what's your name?" he called back. She rolled her eyes, turning back around "Valerie."
"well nice to meet you val" he winked at her, She kept a straight face " Don't call me that" she simply said.
He raised his hands defensively "whatever you say Valerie" he said, turning his attention back to the front
She has never had a guy be this interested in her before. At least not to her face. It was weird. She didn't like it. At least not from him.
