"Why do we have to come?" Barbara asked, "I mean, we're not exactly friends with any of them."

"True," Samantha piped up from the back seat, "In fact, I'm pretty sure we hate them."

"Guys, please." Nancy begged, "I need you there for moral support!"

"You really think he's just inviting you over there for a party?" Barb continued to express her concerns, "You know he's just using you for sex!"

"Carol and Tommy H will be there." Nancy protested and the other two girls rolled their eyes.

"Oh come on. Carol and Tommy have been having sex since like the seventh grade. It'll probably be like a big orgy."

"Gross!" the two Wheeler's exclaimed, making Barb snicker.

The two girls watched as Nancy started pulling off her cardigan and the redhead's eyes narrowed, "Is that a new bra?"

"No!"

Samantha quickly leant forward and pulled at her cousin's top, seeing that she was indeed, wearing a new bra and she gasped, "It is!"

"Shut up!"

Samantha knocked on the door to Steve Harrington's large house, looking over her shoulder at her two friends, "You're the reason we're all here. Why am I the one knocking?"

Before she could get an answer, the door swung open and Steve smirked, leaning against the frame, "Ladies. Come on in."

Nancy eagerly followed him while the other two hung back and Barb leant down to whisper in Samantha's ear, "We're so gonna regret coming here."

"If it gets too much, we'll just leave." she whispered, following the other two through the house, "Simple."

"Like Nancy is going to leave lover boy."

"Well...we'll just have to make her leave." the blonde said with conviction. As if it was actually going to happen.

She had to admit, Steve's house was pretty amazing. She didn't know anyone else who had a pool in their backyard. She took a seat on a lounger beside Barb, pulling her cardigan tighter around her.

Steve came out of the house carrying some cans and tossed one to each of them and Samantha took a hesitant look at Barb.

"Are they serious?" the redhead whispered as everyone else started to open their cans, Steve going as far as to pierce the bottom of his and drink it from there. "God." she whispered as the two of them watched him down the can of alcohol and Samantha silently put her can down.

This was going to be a long night.

"Nance," the blonde whispered in her cousin's ear, "Can we go?"

She moved back as Tommy leapt into the pool and Nancy looked at her, "What? No! We're having fun."

"Fun?" Samantha hissed, "Nancy, you're drinking and Barb has cut her finger!"

Just as she finished speaking, the redhead came out of the house and she got up from the sun lounger to go to her friend, looking over her shoulder to see Nancy get pushed into the pool by Steve, who jumped in after her.

"Are you okay?" she asked Barbara, taking her hand to inspect her injury.

"I'm fine," she whispered, "I just...it won't stop bleeding."

"Okay," she nodded, "We're going." Barb mumbled an agreement and picked up her jacket while Samantha grabbed her bag, "Nancy, come on, we're going."
