Robin Buckley has been your best friend since you were 7. She was 6.

In first grade, Robin started walking with you on the way home after classes. She swore it was too scary to do by yourself. She would make sure both of you stayed safe, no matter what.

In third grade, Robin would ask you to sleep over every weekend. She always made sure her dad picked up the best snacks from the grocery store, somehow always remembering your favorite.

In sixth grade, Robin would play her dads cassettes for you. She would point out which songs reminded her of you, and why.

In the ninth grade, Robin started telling you she loved you at the end of a conversation. She hadn't forgotten to since she had started. You said it back, never missing the chance to remind her.

Going into tenth grade was hard, Robin had told you over the summer she couldn't hang out with you anymore. It was in your backyard, somewhere between the early morning hours. She was blunt about it, telling you she just wanted space. She didn't tell you how bad you were, or how you had hurt her, she just gave you a little wave and took to the sidewalk.

Tenth grade had gotten easier though, you had separated yourself from her almost entirely. Robin was her own person and so were you. You had even made a new friend.

Well, kind of. Eddie wasn't supposed to be your friend.

You were just helping him with English, and then you and then you started hanging out with him after class. Which had eventually spiraled into spending most days after school in his trailer.

He taught you everything about his guitar, and he let you sit in during hellfire. He had even asked if you wanted to join, and after you had declined the offer he had of course acted broken-hearted. 'You've wounded me!' What ever will I do without you y/n?'

Eddie had taught you more than that though, he had taught you that being yourself was what mattered at the end of the day. Eddie was the first person you ever told, and he sat there and listened. He really listened, not that fake bullshit you were expecting, he wanted you to trust him with your story.

So you told it, down to every last detail. You kept her for last though, savoring the way Eddie's eyes shot open at mention of her name.

"Robin Buckley?"

*Yeah," you laughed it off, "she was the world to me,

"Why?” he paused,

"why don't you guys- uh?" He motioned his hands, unable to find the words.

"I think she knew, 'ya know?" A bittersweet smile finding its way to your lips, "She wasn't- you know? Into me like that."

Eddie nodded, "Steve Harrington.”

"Huh?"

i think the main reason as why the relationship btwn the fentons and mansons is more tense compared to their relationship w the foleys is bc of them having differing personalities that clash w one another

also control freaks isn't canon to me so as far as i'm concerned instead of sam's parents inherently seeing tucker/danny as bad influences on their daughter

i imagine pamela and jeremy were def the kind of parents who prior to sam befriending tucker/danny would try to set her up on playdates w their acquaintances' kids but she ended up almost always never getting along w any of the other kids so it was practically a lost cause

so they eventually threw in the towel and then at one point ida just told them that have they considered just letting sam yk make her own friends w/o their help bc while sam doesn't necessarily have the easiest time making friends w ppl like they do that doesn't mean she's incapable of finding ppl that she will get along w and so they take her advice it proves to be right

with pamela it's like on one hand she is happy that her daughter finally found some kids her age that she actually gets along w but on the other hand she preferably would like her daughter to be friends w other girls her age instead of just surrounding herself w boys™ but there's only sm she can do abt that
