Claire's pov
When I woke up the sun was shining through my window hitting my face. I laid there for a few minutes before getting up and washing up. After that I walked downstairs to be met with an empty house. There was a note from my mom saying she had gone out to work.
Oh did I mention the other reason why we moved here was because her job thought it would be great if she had gotten transferred over here. Having the house to myself was something I was used to. Back in Cali my mom always left on bissness trips and I was left to live on my own.
I made myself some breakfast as I was eating I heard a knock on the front door. I looked out the window and saw it was Steve. I opened door and was met with him smiling.
"What are you doing here." I asked with a confused face.
"I'm here to show you around like I said last night and to get to know you if that's ok." he said with a soft smile.
"Yeah that'd be nice just let me get changed, you can come in if you'd like." I said opening the door more.
"Yeah thanks." he said walking in.
"I'll be down in a few, make yourself comfortable." I said runnning up the stairs.

Claire ran up stiars as I looked around the living room at all her pictures. There was many of her Mom and her at the beaches.
I looked around alitte more until is stopped in front of a frame. The picture was of her and Billy at the beach. They were holding hands as they ran into the water looking back at the camrea with smiles on their faces.
She really was friends with Billy, they must've been really close how was i gonna tell her now.
somethings else I noticed was that her dad wasn't in any pictures. Wonder what happened with them.
"Hey I'm ready to go, sorry I took so long all my clothes are still in the boxes." Clair said coming downthe staris
"Nah you're good, ready to go." I said/asked walking to her.
"Yeah let's go explore." she said with a big smile.

Steve and I walked around for about 10 minutes and stopped at a high top. It had the most beautiful view ever.
"Wow it's beautiful." I said looking out at the view.
"It's even better at night." he said coming to my side.
"Was that a way of telling me we should come at night." I said a smirk appearing on my face.
"Oh uh no no, I mean unless you want to cause I would want too only if you do." he said with a nervous voice.
"Steve chill I was joking but yes I would love to come at night." a soft smile came on my face.
"Uh cool cool yeah well let's get moving there's a couple more places I wanna show you, one including my job." Steve said running his finger last through his hair.
We walked another 15 minutes before stopping in front of a movie store that was called 'family video'.
"You work here?" I asked as we walked into the store.
"Yep and I want to introduce you to someone." he said walking to the front desk.
There was a girl with short brownish hair and she was wearing a rock band shirt.
"Hey dingus." she said.
"Claire meet Robin, Robin meet Claire." steve said leaning against the counter.
"Nice to meet you." I greeted with a soft smile.
"Same to you, are you new here." she asked.
"Yeah just moved yesterday and so far it's not as bad." I said.
"Well we better get going just wanted to introduce you guys." Steve said pushing off the counter.
"It was nice meeting you Robin." I said as steve pulled me out of the store.
"Ok so now where." I asked looking around.
"Well there's a coffee shop about 5 minutes away , care for some coffee."
"Sure why not." I said following Steve's way.
•••
When we made it to the coffee shop was sat down and ordered.
"So Steve how long have you lived here." I asked resting my chin on my hands.
"My whole life, I never get out of Hawkins, my parents on the other hand are always out." he said looking down.
"Business trip parents." I asked as our drinks we given to us.
"Thanks." Steve and I both let out.
Steve grabbed his mixing it a little before talking.
"Yeah, my dad travels a lot and my mom goes making sure he doesn't cheat or something."
"Same with me well my mom, back in California it felt like she was never home, always away." I saiid taking a sip of my coffee.
"What about your dad, if you don't mind me asking." he asked.
I took a deep breath and looked down at my drink.
"Uh he was.... no good I guess you could say after he had a few drinks."
"I'm sorry for bringing it up, I just saw the photos at your house and-."
"No no don't worry about it's fine really, I've never really talked about it" I said letting out a sigh.
"My mom always told me I could speak to her about anything but she's never home so." I said taking another sip of my coffee.
Steve looked out the window and then back at me.
"How about we take out drinks to go and go back to your house, I could help you unpack more." he said.
"You sure?"
Ikllknk
"Yeah gkkkkllnlcome on." he said getting up and holding this hand out for me.
L
I grabbed it and stood up. Then muttered a like thanks. Lo

We made it back to my house and we were now dancing around to the music on the stereo as we put unpacked my stuff.
My clothes were all put away and we were now just hanging stuff up on the walls.
"Never took you for a scorpions girl." Steve said holding up one of my posters.
"Oh yeah Billy actually got me into them, he said it was better than the crap I listened to." I said.
Steves face changed again, it was like every time I said Billy's name he got tense. I shook it off and started jumping around to the song and the radio.
It was 'wango tango by Ted Nugent. I jumped around Steve dancing and playing the air drums. He joined in and we were laughing and for the rest of the day that's what we did. Forgetting we were supposed to go out to look at the view tonight.
