Everyone knew Becca Hopper wanted out of Hawkins. Her social life consisted of a middle schooler she babysat, his friends she occasionally drove around, and that was it.

But with gates into other worlds opening and Dustin Henderson dragging her into trouble, she has no choice but to get to know the people she'd spent so long ignoring. And catching Steve Harrington's attention? That didn't matter to her in the slightest. Really. Stranger Things Fanfic Steve Harrington X OC COMPLETED UNTIL SEASON 5
