Life's Mystery (stranger things/Billy Hargrove love story)

Chapter 2: New School

' RING, RING, RING' My alarm clock went off at 6:30 am. I got up and went to the bathroom where I started with this mop I call hair.

As I brush out the white strands of hair I look into the mirror to see my grey/ blue eyes. My mom always tells me my eyes are beautiful but honestly, I think they're dull. I sigh as I continue to get ready for my first day of school.

Once finished, I head downstairs and hear my mother talking to someone.

"Sure." Says my mom, "She should be down any minute."

"Hey, mom," I say to act as if I didn't hear anything. "Have you seen my sun..." I go quiet as I see Billy standing at the bar in the kitchen, I wave quietly to him while my mom holds my sunglasses out for me, so I take them from her and walk towards the door.

"Dear!" My mom calls.

"Yes?" I say as she and Billy walk towards me.

"Billy offered to take you to school." She says as Billy smirks.

I nod my head, "And?" I question. He looks surprised that I had said that.

"I like to walk so he can go and get into his prized car and leave," I say as I walked out the door, towards the school as Billy stands in surprise and my mom shaking her head.

As I walk to school I see Billy's car race by me and then hear a 'Honk' so I look behind me to see Steve pull his car over.

"Hey, you need a ride?" He asks half joking and half serious.

"Sure," I say as I walk up to the car and open the door. " Thanks for the ride." I say quietly.

"No problem, anything for a pretty girl." He says. I look down when I feel heat rises to my face.

Once at school, we head in and I make my way to the front office. 'Everyone is staring, why?' I look behind me to see Billy and Steve having a heated conversation and Billy would raise his hand in my direction so everyone would look towards me.

So I made my way towards them and said, "Hey Billy, I think your sluts missing you." I said referring to the girl wearing tight and very reviling clothes. She scoffs and walks towards me.

"Really, you're calling me a slut? Last I checked I still have my v - card, Freak." She says in a very irritating voice.

"Last time I checked I didn't give a fuck, so shut it before I do it for you." I snapped back raising a perfectly dark brow. 

She stands there shocked but the anger flairs in her face and slap's me, my head didn't move like she wished it had but the look on mine, Billy's and Steve's faces told her to run.

With a menacing look in my eye and start walking towards her.

"You should watch yourself." I say in a dark tone. She freezes and looks at me then jumps at me trying to fight. I let her tackle me and I swung a few times but then she got the upper hand and started to swing left and right but then somebody ripped her off of me.

Everything was hurting but I tried to sit up but couldn't, I heard voices mumble and then I feel someone's arms picking me up. All I hear is "Is she okay?" somebody asked and then nothing.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

When I woke up I had the world's worst headache. I look around me to realize I'm in my room. 

"How did I get here?" I ask my self as I sit up.

"I drove you here" Replies a deep voice.

I jump and look to where the voice came from and sigh in relief when I only saw Billy.

"How did you get into my house and know which room is mine and what floor," I say, looking him up and down.

"Your mom let me in and showed me up here." He says while standing up.

"Oh." Is all I say while getting up. "What happend after everything?" I ask quietly, to which he turned and look to me with an irritated look.

"Britney had almost broken your nose and you have a concussion and you're covered in blood from your nose and lip." He says.

"Oh, and I told her if I have seen her anywhere near you I would make her life a living hell." He says gently 

I look up in surprise. Why would he do that for me? "What do you want from me, Billy?" I ask in a hushed voice. He looks up in surprise, 

"What do you mean?" He asks softly, looking me in the eyes with a hurt expression. I look down feeling bad about the way I sounded, "I'm sorry." I say looking at him in the face.

"It's okay," He says quietly. I stand up and walk towards him. "Are you okay?" I ask and stand in front of him. He nods and looks down at me.

"Ash?" Calls a voice that I have sorta grown to know. "Yea," I call back as I move away from Billy until I'm at the doorway of my room when I see Steve coming up the stairs, and looks around the living room then at me. 

"Are you okay?" Steve asks as he looks me up and down to make sure I'm fine but winces when looking to my face. "What?" I ask as I look to my room praying that Billy won't cause any trouble.

"Your face looks terrible," Steve replies back. "Ohh," I say looking down.

"What are you doing here, Harrington?" Calls Billy.
