The Babysitters | STEVE HARRINGTON {1}
Katherine Byers has always preferred the background. Quiet, cautious, and fiercely loyal, she's the kind of girl who blends into the crowd, until the night her entire world unravels. After a normal evening at the Wheelers' house, Kate and her younger brother Will are attacked by something neither of them can explain. When she wakes up the next morning, Will is gone without a trace. With Hawkins spiraling into panic, Kate is thrust into the chaos alongside her twin brother Jonathan, her best friend Nancy Wheeler, and Will's closest friends. Together, they embark on a terrifying journey into the unknown, where the line between science fiction and reality begins to blur. But as Kate faces unspeakable horrors and the growing darkness beneath Hawkins, an unexpected light finds her in the most unlikely of people: Steve Harrington. Arrogant, charming, and nothing like the guy she thought he was, Steve becomes more than just a reluctant ally; he becomes the one person who truly sees her. As the clock ticks and the dangers multiply, Kate must confront not only what's lurking in the shadows but also the feelings she's tried so hard to ignore. In a town where nothing is what it seems, love might just be the riskiest mystery of all.

Lucy Harrington wasn't much like her brother; she was dorky and she was nerdy and she was unpopular and she continuously tripped up on her own feet. She only really had two friends; Josette Holland and Will Byers. She got high grades in all her classes, her favorites being English and Science. She spent a lot of her free time writing the Essays that her brother payed her to work on, the rest spent at the arcade with Josette or drawing with Will. She didn't mind though, Steve said that it helped him out, plus she got money for it that she could spend at the arcade and on candy. She did, however, miss spending time with her older brother. They spent a majority of their time together. That was at least until Steve fell in with Tommy Hagan and Carol Perkins. Now all they did together was sleep in the same house, and that was only on occasion. Steve refused to be seen with the clumsy middle schooler that was Lucy Harrington in public for longer that he forcibly had to. Even when Steve was home and not out with his friends, he acted like Lucy wasn't there. When Will went missing, being the closest thing she had to a brother anymore, she went to help Will's other best friends to find him; Michael Wheeler, Lucas Sinclair, and Dustin Henderson. ~*~ Season 1 - Published Season 2 - Published Season 3 - Published Season 4 - Writing Season 5 - Prepping
