"what a shame, lovely, you fell for me"
When her father dies suddenly, Kinsley moves to the "safe", cosy town of Hawkins. She eventually meets her brother, the students of Hawkins High and many other things far more treacherous than school bullies.

I wake up to the sunlight pouring in through my window, my thoughts travel to last night. The date, the conversation we had, the shapes he drew into my arm, the feeling off his lips on my cheek. I sit up, putting my hands behind my back to support me. I look over to my desk and chair and I see something hanging over the chair. I get up and walk towards it, I lift the brown leather up in front of me, the smell of cigarettes and woody cologne spreads throughout my room, it's from last night. I place it back on the chair and sit on the bed, my head in my hands. I cannot fall for Billy. I won't let myself. If I did, I might as well drive a blunt stick through my own heart.
I pull myself together and get dressed. Dustin and I get into my car and head to school. As I drive into school, I see Billy leaning against his car. I get out the car, grabbing my bag and moving my hair behind my ear. I look over at Billy to catch him mouthing a 'wow' while looking me up and down. He starts walking towards me, smirking, "How do you manage to get more and more stunning each day?" I smile at him and lean back against my car as a voice in the back of my head reminds me that I need to distance myself from him. My smile fades and I look towards ground, "Oh Bobby, how do you manage to get more and more full of shit each day?" I remark harshly, making the mistake of looking up at Billy's expression, into his beautiful eyes. His brow furrows with the same look of hurt flashing through his eyes as last night when I moved his hand from my thigh. However this time I can't replace it with the hope and gentleness that came after as I held it instead. He breathes out and opens his mouth to speak but nothing comes out, I stumble out my words before he can, "I'm sorry, I can't... I've got to go." I push past him walking towards the school, I look over my shoulder at him, he looks lost, "I'm sorry."

I sit at home alone, Mum is away for the next few days and Dustin is at one of his friends houses. I flick through the few channels we have before my phone rings. An unknown worried voice calls through the phone, "Is this- Is this Kinsley?" I answer quickly as they continue talking I become worried, "It's Nancy, she told me you would know what to do but she is really drunk so I don't know-" They gave me the address and I got changed into a quick outfit.
