its late march in 1986. robin buckley is still a mess after last summers endeavor, i mean, damn. would being captured by russians and meeting a child with superpowers not leave a girl in a pretty rough condition? oh, not to mention, the mall she worked at "burnt down." now she was struggling to land a new job. something always felt amiss. over last summer, she grew close with steve. and the kids. and johnathan. but she felt a gap somewhere. that gap, would be nancy wheeler. despite being invited, mikes older -- prissy -- sister denied joining their mission. robin has come to the conclusion she's a bitch. she never even met the girl but always finds her gazing at her with the nastiest face known to mankind. everything changes when robin lands a job at family video towards the end of her senior year, alongside steve harrington. unfortunately for robin, steve would be her only form of transportation. and steve also happened to be close with nancy even though their relationship is long over. and to pile onto robins mountain of issues, she just so happened to be invited to attend prom. with steve. with nancy. (ALL CHARACTERS DO NOT BELONG TO ME.) - side note : ! spoiler ! this is really angsty, after chapter 5 is generally when i'll be implementing more interactions between robin and nancy so you can skip ahead to that if you'd like. i intend to make this a little bit slow burny.
