Days Later
Sam laughs, "You're such a dumbass." She snickers as she watches him.

He chuckles, "Hey, I was protecting myself." He lifts his hands in surrender as he explains.

Sam's head tilts with a sarcastic smile, "Oh I'm sure you were,"

Steve laughs, "Okay so I dropped an expensive vase but at least they never found out."

Sam shakes her head with a smile, "My mom would've killed me."

"Let me guess, the princess has a curfew and it's somewhere around 8." He teases, earning an eye roll from Sam.

"I don't, asshole." She punches his arms playfully, Steve lets out a teasing laugh as he mocks her for her weakness.

Sam tilts her head to him, "You remember New Years?" She asks with a raised brow.

Steve stifles a laugh, "Last years or back in '76?"

Her eyes widen, "You remember that?" She asks excitedly.

He runs a hand through his hair, "How could I ever forget?"

"Jesus, we were idiots." She looks into his brown eyes and can't help but get lost in them. But quickly enough she snaps out of it.

Steve shakes his head with amusement, "Woah, woah, we were innocent, there's a difference." He replies teasingly.

She smiles, "You have to forget that happened, Billy will kill you if he ever hears about it."

Steve lets out a deep laugh, "He might have you now, but at least I'll always know I was your first kiss."

She swats his arm, "Steve we were 7!" She giggles loudly, earning glances from the people around them.

"What can I say? I've been charming since I came out of the womb." Steve lets out a chuckle as his eyes scan her.

She was beautiful. Even her flaws were beautiful so Steve wasn't sure if they even counted as flaws.

Steve and Sam had meet back when they were little, their parents worked together for business so it was only obvious that they'd known each other since then.

The world proved to be a small place when after years of no contact, Sam moved to Hawkins with her mom. They of course, were unaware that the Harrington's resided there.

Sam shakes her head, "Don't let it get to your head, I didn't know there were other options." She scrunches her face in fake disgust.

Steve's eyes widen and he falsely gasps, pretending to be hurt. "Woah, turns out Samantha Brooks still has some fire in her after all."

Before Sam can reply, the bell rings loudly, causing teenagers to begin gathering their stuff to head to their next class

Sam grabs her things and as does Steve, they walk and laugh out through the door.

Sam giggles, "Everyone was doing it, I just assumed it was something you had to do."

Steve scoffs, "Oh ok, sure. Truth is, I was just as irresistible as-"

"Flirting time is over, Harrington." Billy's voice booms, wrapping an arm around Sam's waist.

"Hi Billy." Sam says as she pecks his cheek.

Steve's jaw visibly clenches but he smiles at Billy, challenging him. "We were just talking, no need to get all insecure."

Billy lets out a sarcastic laugh, "Jesus, Harrington. Seems to me like you're the one getting riled up."

Sam turns to him, "Billy-" she snaps.

"No let him," Steve says, interrupting Sam's scold to Billy. "Hargrove just needs to let his emotions out, probably that time of the month again."

Billy's jaw clenches and in a matter of seconds he pushes Steve into the lockers.

Sam gasps, "Billy don't-"

"Huh? What's that?" Billy spits in Steve's face as he holds him by his collar.

Steve jaw ticks but he doesn't look scared, "Come on Billy, don't get scared. I haven't even made my move on her yet and you're already pissing yourself over losing her."

Sam rolls her eyes, "I'm not some fucking toy." She crosses her arms as she watches them with a clenched jaw.

Billy laughs menacingly at him as his tongue laps over his lips. "Get off her ass, everyone knows you always want what's mine."

Steve grabs Billy arms and pushes him back, releasing himself of Billy's grasp.

Billy's smile is still there and Steve's also begins forming. "One day she's gonna realize how much of a piece of shit you are, and when she does, I'll be right here." Steve spits to Billy and pushes past him, walking off to god knows where.

Sam glares at Billy, "Did you really have to do all that?"

Billy's jaw hardens and his eyes burn holes into her, "I've told you to stay away from him."

Sam scoffs and walks next to him, heading to their next class. "And I told you I can be friends with whoever I want."

Billy stops in his tracks and surprises her when he harshly grabs her wrist. He gets close to her face and puts more pressure on them, "Stay away from him Samatha, I fucking mean it."

Her jaw hardens and she tries ripping her wrist free but fails, "Don't tell me what to do."

Billy lips curl as he smiles menacingly, "Either you stay away from him, or I'll make him stay away from you." With that, he gives one last hard grip and lets her go.

Sam watches Billy walk off as she rubs her wrist, hoping he doesn't leave any unnecessary discomfort on them.

She swallows a gulp at what happened, sure Billy was an asshole, everyone knew that. But she had never seen him quite livid like he was seconds ago.

He wasn't mad,

He was angry.

And when Billy was angry,

He broke shit.

And she knew that.
