Collision Course | Billy Hargrove Fanfic|

2. Lets get Sheet Faced

The sound of excited chatter and metal clanging against metal as students slammed their lockers shut filled the hallways of Hawkins Highschool. The school day had drawn to an end and everyone was racing out of the bricked building, to get their last minute costumes in place and ready for the Halloween party that night. It turns out Tina had invited over half of the school to her house, hoping to take the medal for " the best party of the year.

At first Quinton was a little apprehensive about the party, filled with sweaty and drunk teenagers who she didn't know, all stuffed like sardines in a random girls house. But the more she thought about it, the more she wanted to go, the anxiety and never melting away to excitement and giddiness. Besides she could be spending the night alone or serving greasy burger and fries at the only diner in town, where she worked. 

Her best friend though wasn't so lucky, failing to get the night off at the arcade and being forced to miss possibly the party of the year to watch little brats wanted to play over priced video games all night. 

" I promise you Luce, I'll tell you everything that happens on Friday night. " It was Tuesday night, Quin was laying stomach down on her bed, talking on the phone with Lucy as she twirled the spiralled cord around her finger. 

" Yeah that's if you even remember what happens on Friday night! anyways it'll probably just make me upset I missed out on all the fun.."

" Ah shit I'm sorry Lucy, Keith is such an asshole, I bet he doesn't have any plans for Friday night!"

" Probably not! But its fine I guess," A sigh came in from the other end on the line, " Just promise me one thing Quin?"

" Yeah sure what is it?"

" You'll make out with at least one boy."

" Y'know what Luce? I'll make out with every boy there if it makes you happy! I really have to go to bed now though. Sleep tight and don't let the boogie man bite." 

Turning from her own dusty blue locker, Quin started to make her way towards the doors. She had made plans with Nancy and Steve to get ready with them for the party, not wanting to do it by herself, obviously not dressing up with the power couple, that would just be well, weird. But her path to her destination was cut short as she slammed into something she would describe as a brick wall. The sudden stop in movement made her lose her footing, causing the girl to fall back onto butt, a yelp of pain and surprise  escaping her lips as she did so. 

" Whoa watch where you're going there, short stack!" 

Looking up Quin already knew who to expect it to be, not from any actual conversation of any sort but this name had been floating around school like a wild fire since Monday. The girls swooned and the boys envied. Billy Hargrove. 

Her warm hazel eyes locked with icy blue ones as she stood herself up and dusted off her hands against her jeans. Her small 5'2 stature bringing her just about chest height for him, making her have to clear up at the boy. 

" Watch where I'm going?! Last time I checked, asshat, I wasn't almost hitting people In the parking lot with my car and you're the one that walked in front of me!" 

" Watch out guys she's a feisty one. Be careful or she might just kick your shins to death. "

With a cocky smirk and a little chuckle, Billy shouldered his way past, followed by his little  entourage. All pointedly staring at her and making small remarks as they made their way by.
