"I tell you Robin, you are the best and the prettiest, you'll do just fine!" You assured her as she changed into her concert clothes.

"Really?" She stepped outside with her full attire on except for the hat.

"Of course! After the concert we'll go to my house, my mom prepared us dinner. You can even stay over if you want" you answered giving her a sided hug "And if someone makes fun of you or something I'll kick their asses, I promise"

"Thanks Y/N! You're the best"

You smiled at her brightly and walked towards the school's gym. She quickly made her way with the other band members and you looked for an empty place to sit.

You placed yours and Robin's backpacks behind you and sat down, waiting for the concert to start as you looked at the other kids and some parents. Robin's parents couldn't go because they had work or something, some adult stuff that was incomprehensible for you at that age but Robin didn't cared, with you there was more than enough.

Meanwhile, Steve really didn't wanted to go, but still he did, their English teacher would give extra points if they attended the concert and Steve needed them to pass so his friends agreed to go with him too and after the concert they'll go play somewhere else and enjoy some snacks they've bought before going to the school's gym.

"It'll probably be boring as hell as always" one of his friends said as they parked their bikes on their usual spot

"Yeah" they argued "Full of losers too"

"I know but I really need those points, my parents will be mad if they see I failed again"

The boys kept silent and walked towards the gym.

They were surprised to see that the gym was packed, when they spotted a place for all to sit they sprinted towards it. Steve was distracted and when he noticed his friends were missing he groaned running behind them. Everyone was already seated and there seemed to be no place for him. His friends laughed.

"You were way too slow"

Steve groaned "Once this is over let's meet at the entrance and we'll go back to my house to continue playing"

They all agreed and Steve started looking for another place to sit. He finally spotted one next to a girl. He smiled and walked towards it, his hands on his pockets.

"Is this taken?" He asked, the girl looked at him and softly said no, he sat down and looked around awkwardly.

"I'm Steve" he said breaking the silence

"I'm Y/N"

"Are you here for the extra points?"

"No, my best friend is part of the band"

"I see"

Conversation flowed easily between the two kids, Steve occasionally joking and you laughing at how stupid he was.

The headmaster appeared and introduced the band and you quickly spotted Robin. You waved happily at her and she smiled at you, frowning as she noticed someone sitting next to you, she knew that boy, his name was Steve Harrington.

He was with her in one of her classes. She couldn't understand how every girl found him attractive ir cool. If you asked Robin, she thought he was messy and not so smart, he'd probably turn into a jerk when he was older.

She flinched at your attitude, she has never seen you like that before and it gave her an uncomfortable feeling in her belly. You were smiling but it wasn't your usual smile, it was nervous, almost shy, you were constantly playing with your hair placing it behind your ear or just twirling it between your fingers. But what caugt her completely off guard, were your eyes, they were looking at him in such a way she could not describe, you have never looked at her like that before, hell, you've never given anyone that look before. Her stomach twisted as she watched you laughing at something Steve said.
