Breathin》Stranger Things

Two

Jonathan wasn't really that bad...the first ten minutes. He was a bit shy and awkward. He didn't talk to me that much during class before heading out. By lunch, everyone around school was talking about me. The mysterious new girl. I was by myself at the lunch table, journal in hand as I wrote.

September 7, 1984.

I could hear them. I could hear people talking about the new girl who just showed up out of nowhere. The guys who want nothing more than to get into her pants and the girls who are already gossiping about what kind of hair products I use.

Hawkins seem like the place for me to lay low. At least for a few years or until Damon shuts his humanity back on. Last I heard, he left Kansas a bleeding mess. Stefan and I had to slit. He can't torture the both of us if he doesn't know where we are. Stefan promised to call once he finds a place to settle in. But we both agreed not to tell each other in case word gets to Damon.

I was still writing in my journal until I heard someone clear their throat. I looked up to see this guy, who probably use more hair products than I do. He motioned towards the empty seat in front of me.

"This seat taken?" He asked.

I shook my head. "No. Go ahead. I was just about to leave."

"You don't have to." He placed his hand out. "Steve Harrington."

I shook his hand. "Bela Salvatore."

"Well, Bela, welcome to Hawkins."

Ok, so this is the Steve Harrington I've heard the whole school talk about. The way people described him made him seem like he only care about his image, his popularity. But Steve sat with me through the whole lunch period. We even shared a few classes, where he kept talking to me. When school was over, we walked towards his car.

"If you don't mind me asking, what made you decide to move here?" Because my idiot brother decided to shut off his humanity.

"I wanted to start fresh."

"Any siblings?"

"Two. My twin brother, Stefan. My older brother, Damon."

"Do they go to another school?"

I shook my head. "They're still in Mystic Falls." The last I heard.

"What about your parents?"

"Dead."

Steve's eyes softened. "I'm so sorry to hear that."

I shrugged my shoulders. "Don't be. My mother died when I was a kid. And my father..." I took a sip of my water. "He wasn't exactly father of the year, if you know what I mean."

"So is it just you?"

"No," I lied. "My uncle lives here. Stefan suggested I move here. He's ok with my decisions."

"Well, I hope your first day hasn't been that tragic," Steve joked.

"Besides the whispers about me, today hasn't been all that bad. I made a new friend."

"Oh, really? Who?" I could tell he was kidding, so I played along.

"Jonathan." Steve's face fell. "And you."

Steve laughed. "That's good." I heard someone call Steve. This chick came up. Steve smiled at her as she neared us. "Bela, this is Nancy. My girlfriend. Nancy, meet Bela."

Nancy smiled warmly at me. "Oh, you're the new girl."

"So they say," I joked. "It's nice meeting you two. But I should really head home."

"Do want to come over?" Steve asked.

I shook my head. "Thanks for the offer, I still need to unpack."

"You sure?" Nancy asked.

I nodded. "Yeah. I need to grab a few things anyway before I go home."

"Ok, we'll see you tomorrow then," Steve said before he and Nancy got in his car.

I smiled at the pair and waved as they sped out of school. I sighed happily as I started walking towards my car. I got in and revved the engine before speeding out.

Today has been a good day.
