FOUR: WHERE IS HE?

FOUR: WHERE IS HE?

"Apparently Nancy and Steve are a thing now. Or at least, on the way to being a thing," was what Heather was greeted with that morning. "Barb just told me that they snuck into the bathroom to make out a few minutes ago."

Heather, already bored, groaned, "Am I really supposed to give a shit?"

"He's clearly trying to get you jealous!"

She reacted only in a monotone, "I don't think I'm the one who's actually getting jealous. Why won't you just admit you like Nancy? It's so fucking obvious. Like, it's getting out of hand just how fucking gay you are around her and that's not cool."

"What?" Veronica asked, her voice going quiet as the careful topic of her sexuality came up, "It's not cool that I like girls?"

"Not everyone is gonna be as chill with it as I am. Every time you talk to her you're practically radiating the word "queer" on your forehead. Steve isn't making me jealous at all, but he's definitely making you jealous. Just stop thinking about her."

"H, you know it's not that easy," she whined, her voice still barely above a whisper. The first bell rang and the girls watched as Nancy left the bathroom, her hair just slightly ruffled and her lips puffed. So she had been in there with Steve. For some odd reason, Heather did feel a small pang in her chest. She ignored it.

"We're going to the party," she said in a split-second decision.

Veronica, who had previously been upset, instantly perked up. "Seriously? You actually want to associate with Steve Harrington? Holy shit."

"Well, if he's with Nancy," Heather shrugged, looking unbothered but feeling anything but, "then I don't have to worry about him anymore. Simple."

"Mhm. I'm sure that's it," Veronica scoffed, sounding unconvinced. "Whatever. You're in denial."

Heather laughed, "Yeah, I'll let you believe that I would ever fall for an idiot like Steve Harrington!"

"REMEMBER!" Mister Clarke's voice got louder as he tried to shout over the ringing bell and the students rushing to pack up and get out, "To read chapter 12 and answer 12.3 on the difference between an experiment and other forms of science investigation! This will be on the test, which will cover chapters ten through twelve! It will be multiple choice with an essay section."

"Ugh," Daniel groaned, "I wish I knew shit about Science. Mike, you'll help me?"

"Of course," Mike nodded as if it were the most obvious thing in the world, "but forget about that!" The four boys eagerly rushed up to Mister Clarke's desk despite all of the other students rushing out of there like the room was on fire. Daniel never understood why so many kids seemed to not care about their schooling at all. He found most of his studies fascinating, however, he never seemed to quite have a knack for science the way his other four friends did. He didn't mind, though, because Mike and the others were always happy to help him out.
