Stranger Things

Chapter 2.

               I rubbed my face and groaned, opening my eyes I looked at the foot of my bed to see Atlas look at me. 

           "Good Morning Buddy" I sat up and rubbed his ears, he gave me a lick on my hand in return. I got up and changed into a black shirt and a pair of white skinny jeans, I'll get looked at for wearing jeans but whatever. I brushed my dark almost black brown hair and threw it up into a ponytail. I grabbed my bag and double checked that the camera was still in there, which it was.

               "Come on Atlas." I patted my leg, he got up off my bed and followed me into my kitchen. I took out an apple from the refrigerator and gave half of it to Atlas. Apples are really good for your dogs, that's why it's usually his breakfast along with mine. I finished my apple and headed for the front door, Atlas followed with my car keys in his mouth. 

           "Thank you, I'll see you after school." I rubbed his head and left the house, I locked the door. I looked over to my car dreading another day of school. I noticed someone leaning on it, Steve. I looked around my driveway and around the trees. 

               "Hey,  I'll drive you today." He said standing up properly. I titled my head to the side in confusion. 

            "Uh, Why? If you don't mind my asking?" I walked up to him. 

                 "What? I can't drive a girl that I want to be seen with to school?" He asked looking at me. My eyes widened, Steve Harrington the school heartthrob wanted to be with me, Tessa Arrow. The school's loner? 

              "I didn't say that..." I looked down at my feet kicking at the ground. 

                    "Well come on." He said nodding his head to his car out of the street, turning his back and walking to it. I followed after him quietly, He opened my door so I got in and he shut it for me. Just why would he do this for me? I didn't think he knew who I was at all, even though I've known him for a lot of my life. Not personally but I didn't have a class with him pretty much every year. Even now I do but I also sit in the back and be quiet as much as I can. 

                 "Are you ever going to talk again?" I heard a snap of Steve's  fingers took me out of my thoughts. I looked over at him, blushing a little bit from drifting away into my thoughts.

              " I-Sorry." I looked down at my hands that were in my lap. 

                  "Don't worry about it, I like girls that don't talk constantly. Those are rare now and days though." He looked over and me and back to the road, we were pulling into the parking lot. He pulled into a spot and looked at me. 

              "Thanks, Steve," I said unbuckling myself and getting out. He followed my actions and caught up to me. 

                  "We're not going in together?" He asked I looked around to see if Jonathan was anywhere he was in the middle back of the parking lot.          

       "I actually have to go give something to Jonathan," I said walking backward and eventually turning around and running up to Jonathan. I stopped and caught my breath. 

                   "Hey, I uh. I had an extra that I don't use and probably won't. I thought you could use it." I pulled the camera out of my bag and held it out to him. 

        "Oh, Thank you." He took it from me with both hands, he brushed against mine a little bit. He's really warm. I looked up at him, he smiled down at me. I blushed and looked down.

                 "We should go to our lockers and get our stuff for class..." He said pointing to the other students pouring into the school in groups or couples holding hands. 

       "Oh yeah."
