Laying down on my bed later that night I heard Billy's car pull into his driveway two doors down from mine. Ever since he moved here he annoyed everyone with his loud car and music. Thankfully he turned off the music and took it elsewhere tonight because I was not in the mood for any more bullshit to be thrown my way. But what was worse than the music was the yelling. Always every day at 7 when, who I presumed was Billy's dad, got home the fighting commenced. Sometimes it was a short terse argument and other times it was huge screaming matches that always ended with an audible bang that no one could figure out what it was. The fights usually happened between Billy and his dad but sometimes it was with a lighter female voice, and when that happened a young red headed girl always ran out the door with a skateboard in hand as fast as she could. Sometimes she turned left and escaped the neighborhood completely and other times she'd lightly knock on our door asking if Dustin was home. When all was quiet again she'd make her way back home, silently slipping in through a window and by the next day everyone seemed to forget or at least ignore the ordeal.

After the longest math class of my life I skipped through the halls towards Nancy's car, excited to go home.

"Hey Nancy!" I exclaimed while waving to her from across the lot. Of course my favorite person Billy Hargrove was leaning against his car watching me approach her from two parking spaces over. Right as I walked up, so did Steve.

"Hey Harrington.." I said suspiciously as they both giggled at each other. "So what's up?" I asked hesitantly pointing at Steve.

"Oh uh nothing." Nancy giggled.

"But I uh-" Steve started.

"You uh what?"

"We had a- you know Margaret."

"A thing!" Nancy chimes in.

"Oh.. like what kind of thing?" I said confused as I clutched my backpack to my chest.

"A school thing, a paper. Like uh AHA a project. We have a science project!" Steve boasted nervously.

"So I'll see you later Margo?" Nancy said smiling nervously at me.

"I guess.." I said knowing she was ditching me and I'd have to walk home alone.

"Cool!" She said smiling from ear to ear. "Love you!" Nancy called out leaving me in the middle of Hawkins High parking lot alone and looking dumb.

"You've got to be kidding me." I grumbled to myself. "Thank you for asking Nancy I'll be fine walking home alone!" I tell myself sarcastically as I begin to walk.

I was halfway home when I hear a familiar sound. Billy. Billy Hargrove and his stupid loud ass car and crappy rock music went zipping past me. Thankful he didn't try to bother me I let out a sigh of relief. Then he slammed on his brakes and starting backing up. You've got to be fucking kidding me right?
