pairing : steve x fem!reader

warnings : starts as fwb and the group knows about it, smut, unprotected piv (wrap it before you tap it), lots of kissing, suggestive, slight fluff, mini angst(?)

summary : summer means short shorts, loose tops and bikinis all season. heatwaves in the middle of june has everyone all hot and bothered. everyone is out at your backyard either cooling down in your pool or the pool house. after a fight with steve about the “fwb” thing, he brings a girl to your pool who was not even part of the party.

auth’s note : no proof read my apologies, still not familiar with writing smut but i tried :p happy reading

It was a whopping 89°F outside. You were in your kitchen in your polka-dot bikini making pink lemonade for the group. The boys were playing chicken in your pool while Max tanned with El on the row of lounges on the side of the pool.

You picked up the wooden tray that you had all five glasses on. Five because you were technically babysitting for the party while the others like Robin, Steve and Nancy who were working still and will be coming soon enough. So it was just you and the kids. You step out of your kitchen.

“Lemonade’s ready!” You yelled out, walking towards the girls. You set it down on the small table in between the lounge chairs. The boys get out of the pool dripping in chlorine water to get the refreshments.

You sat on the end of Max’s chair looking at them drinking.

“Are you guys hungry?” You asked out of curiosity.

The boys nodded rapidly. You thought of making sandwiches for them but that would not really fill them so you went back into your house and went to the phone. You dialled the only person who might be off work already. You sighed.

The phone rings and you twirled the cord. The other line picks it up, “Uh, hey, are you still at Starcourt? Do you think could you stop by a KFC or something to get food for the kids?” You hoped he would say yes because there is no way you’re leaving these teenagers alone in your house.

“Why can’t you?” Steve asked.

“Really, you’re asking me that?”

“I just got off work.”

“Fine whatever, I’ll ask someone else.” You hung up immediately leaving no space for him to speak. You lied, you were not going to ask someone else. You got started on the sandwiches. You brought out fruits too just in case.

When you walked out, the fence door at the side of your house opened up. You quickly went to set the tray down with the kids before going to see who it was. Robin walks in and you knew that if Robin was here, he was here too. She gave you a wave. Steve walks in next with his arm around a girl? This is going to be fun.

You went to the door, “Hey, finally.”

You gave Robin a ‘tell me what is going on?’ look and she shrugged, mouthing ‘I don’t know’ to you. You shut your eyes, letting a sigh out before facing Steve and this girl who looked really familiar.

“There you are!” Steve smirked, pulling the girl closer to him.

You pulled your lips into a tight line and nodded. “Here I am.” You sarcastically replied him. You folded your arms. Looking this girl from head to toe subtly.

“Oh right, Lacey, [your name]. [your name], Lacey.”

Steve introduced Stacey to you. Stacey held a hand out for you to shake, you looked down at it and back up. Not shaking it. She had an awkward look on her face when you did not shake it. Steve passed you the KFC bag and you raised an eyebrow at him. “Oh, thanks.” You took it and grabbed Robin’s arm.

You placed the food down on the same table and took a detour to your pool house. You shut the door behind you. “Why is Lacey Miller in my backyard? And why is she with Steve?” You immediately started talking.

“Wow. Straight to it, I guess.”

You narrowed your eyes at her.

“He asked me if I was going to your place after work since you invited us and I obviously said yes then he told me that he could drive me there since he was going too but then he said he would have to pick someone up first.”

“Your point being?”

“I thought he was going to pick up Nancy or Johnathan but suddenly we were on Lacey Miller’s driveway. I sat up front obviously but her being in the car was excruciatingly awkward since you two y’know.. is it considered cheating?”

“Shit, I forgot to tell you that I fought with him a few days ago.”

“You what?!”

Your hand covered her mouth. “Keep it down.”

“Why? Is it because of the—see I told you—”

“Okay, okay. Listen first.” You cut her off before she started her rambling about how she told you so and that she was right about everything.

“You know how he doesn’t want a label to whatever we were right. Well, I obviously like him and he knows so that’s why we had that ‘with benefits’ thing. Besides that, I asked him if we were ever going to be more and he hesitated. Earlier, I told him to buy food for us and he said no at first so I told him that I’ll find someone else but since he did buy it, I don’t know if that means he wants to start things over with me again but seeing that Lacey’s here.. that might not happen?” You wince at the end, teeth slightly bared.

Robin facepalmed herself and shook her head. This was exactly what she did not want to happen. “I don’t want to say I told you so..” She started. You rolled your eyes, knowing that she was right.

“I know, I know.. you said that being more than friends with Steve would fuck up our friendship and we won’t be the same, bla bla..” You dragged your words. She sighed and reassured you that Stacey is not staying for the long run.

Robin went to go change. You headed out again. You see the kids enjoying the KFC then looking a little more to the left was Steve and Lacey on the same lounger that was supposed to be yours.

You smiled as Dustin had two drumsticks in his hand. “Is it good?” You asked them. They agreed in unison. You chuckle, shaking your head at the growing teenagers.

From the side of your eye, you see Steve and Lacey. You asked him how much the food cost so you could pay back whatever was needed.

“No, I asked you to help buy it. How much was it?” You asked again without looking at his face even once. He insisted that he has got it covered because it was for the others.

“No need. I’ve got it handled.”

You two got interrupted by El.

“Who is she?” El asked you. She pointed to Lacey.

“Oh. Umm, that’s Steve’s… friend?” You looked at Steve, tilting your head. He nodded. Lacey looked taken aback.

“Friend? I think we’re more.. right, Steve?” Lacey’s hand rubbed his thigh. Steve tried to think of an answer. El asked Max why you and Steve were not together anymore.

“Uhh, I don’t know too..” Max answered El.

“Same here.” You said before going to the last available lounger.

By then, Robin had already came out of the pool house in shorts and a big t shirt. You pulled your hair into a bun to beat the heat and also in hopes of getting his attention in a non-desperate way.

Robin sat down beside you, nudging your arm. A way of asking what had been happening since she was in the changing room. You shook your head and passed her the sunscreen.

“Care to help me?”

“Sure. Turn around.” She uncapped the sunscreen and lathered some on your back. You tilted your neck to the side. The sunscreen covers your back.

Steve looks over at you, seeing Robin helping you with the sunscreen on your back. If you guys were still talking, it would be him doing it while trying to kiss your neck till he made hickeys. Your eyes caught him staring and you smirked.

Robin capped back the sunscreen and you thanked her. She went to go sit by the pool side and listen to her walkman. You took your tanning lotion and lathered yourself in it. You could still feel his eyes on you so you took your time with yourself.

The imaginary lightbulb above your head lit up and you got an idea. You tapped Steve’s shoulder. He lifts his sunglasses. You held the tanning lotion bottle out. “Help me?” You smirked.

He raised an eyebrow at you. You rolled your eyes.

“She’s not even here right now besides, you haven’t made it official with her yet right.” Steve knew you were right, you always were. If you were not, he would have still helped you either way. He stood up to shift to your lounger. He takes it and helped you lather it.

“Make sure to get it everywhere.” You instructed.

“You’re so bossy.”

“I know.” You replied. You have got to admit, you miss his hands all around you.

His hands get more and more bolder in where they were touching. His hands moved from your shoulders, down to your back, to your waist and slightly lower before going back to your waist then your sides, trying to get a feel of your chest.

“I miss this.” He lowers his head to your ear. You scoffed amusingly. “The feeling of my hands.. on your soft skin.” He whispered into your ear. Your breath hitched. You shrugged him off.

“I think we’re done here.” You turned. Taking the tanning lotion from his hands and laid down in your front. You swore you heard him groan when you did.

Lacey came back from taking drinks. She had one. Skipping to Steve. He laid on the chair, hands behind his head. She sat on his lap. “Hey, one only? Where’s mine?” Steve asked her. She laughs.

“We can share.”

“Really?”

“Yeah, that way we’re indirect kissing.” She giggled.

You try not to cringe at what is happening beside you right now. You sat up from your position and left. You laid a towel down beside Robin who was still soaking her legs in your pool where Max and El were having girl time too. The boys had retreated into the pool house where you unfortunately had an Atari and Pac-Man. There was no getting the boys out of there now.

“Gag me with a spoon.” You remarked. Lying on your back.

Robin looked at you. “I know I heard.”

You sigh, pushing your sunglasses down over your eyes. The two younger girls swam up to the both of you. Hair dripping.

“Hi.” El smiled. Max was beside her, kicking her legs in the water slowly.

“Hey, girls.” You propped yourself up with your elbows.

“Why is that random girl here?”

“Trust me, I wish I knew too.”

“I thought Steve was your boyfriend.”

“It’s complicated.” You sigh. El looks at Max.

Max looked at you. Knowing that there was more to it than just complicated. You knew they were not going to let it go till you do tell them what happened. At the same time, how to you explain what ‘friends with benefits’ and ‘situationship’ to two growing teenagers.

“Okay fine. Me and Steve are just friends but we sometimes kiss and stuff. It’s called friends with benefits. A few days ago I told him that I wanted more, like a label. For him to make me a girlfriend. But he said that he didn’t feel committed enough yet to make it official.”

“Oh so it’s like me and Lucas. But he always comes up to my window every time to apologise then we’re back together like always.” Max shrugged. Young love was so cute but you and Max were nowhere in the same situation at all.

You try to find the words. You looked at Robin. She had both hands up. Shaking her head. “Don’t look at me, I am useless in these kind of situations.” She was looking back and forth from Max then you.

You groaned. “Fine.”

You turned on your side. Explaining everything that happened but in a non explicit way so that you could save yourself the trouble of explaining the words to El without making anyone uncomfortable.

“That’s stupid. It’s so dumb. Never get back with Steve but could you guys stay friends?” Max stated her opinions. You agreed with her and she swam away with El again, leaving you with Robin again.

You planned out a way to get Steve alone again. You stood up from your spot beside your friend and went up to Steve. You asked him to help take out drinks from the fridge in the pool house.

“Oh I could help too.” Lacey stood up from Steve’s lap.

“No, you enjoy the sun. As a host, I insist.” You declined the offer because she just wanted to be near him. She sat back down on the lounge chair. You teasingly took his hand and walked to the pool house. The boys were still inside playing the Atari since it was cooler in there from the A/C unit.

You cleared your throat. Signalling the boys to get out.

“Wait, I’m about to beat Mike’s score on Pac-Man!” Dustin yelled out, moving the joystick rapidly. You went up to the TV. Threatening to pull the cord out. They left the pool house almost immediately and you shut the door behind them right after.

You sauntered to the fridge to take out the alcohol. You rolled your head clockwise. “Fuck it was hot as shit out there.” You stood in front of the fridge. He came up behind you, hands snaking around your waist. Lips hovering over your shoulder. He was all hot and bothered by your body. He pressed kisses up your shoulder.

“You smell so fucking good, baby.” He had his nose pressed against your neck. He used his hands around your waist to turn you around. Your faces met and you decided to wrap your legs around him. He held you under your ass.

“I do? What else?” You tease, leaning down to suck a hickey onto his neck.

“And this ass, gosh.” He groaned, touch deprived by you. He pressed you against the fridge and you arched your back from the sudden coldness. “Fuck, Steve!” You hiss which came off as a moan to him.

“Shit, you know how long I’ve been waiting to hear that again.” He strains against the fabric of his own shorts. Rolling his hips against yours, fully clothed. Your breath hitched against his neck.

He sets you down on the countertop on the opposite side. The cold marble surface making contact with your ass made you shiver. He had two hands on both sides of you on the countertop. His eyes travelled down to your cleavage. You used your index and middle finger to lift his chin up.

“What about Lacey outside?”

“What about her?” He smirked. Standing up straight. You hooked your legs around him to pull yourself closer till you could feel him against your covered heat.

“Why’d you bring her here?”

“Jealous?”

“Fuck no.”

“Getting defensive.” He teased. You tilted your head.

“Jealous? Where are you right now?” You proved your point. He nodded. Saying that it was fair. All this time, he had that smirk and look in his eye that always meant trouble.

You leaned back on your palms. “Have you been saying anything about me to her?” Smirking. His hands travelled from your thighs upwards to your hips.

“Have you fucked her?” You bluntly asked. He shook his head, leaning down to kiss your neck.

“Really? Nothing at all?” You said while he sucked a hickey onto your neck. He licked up your neck to your ear just to whisper no to you. You chuckled and he went back to making a hickey. He pulled you closer, making you wrap your legs around his waist.

He lifts you up, making his way to the couch. He sat down and you changed positions to straddling him. His hands go up and down on your waist, occasionally give your ass a few squeezes. His fingers tried to pull the strings of your bottoms. You stopped him. You move off him to lay on the couch. He chuckled and got on top of you.

The two of you continued the hot makeout after days of being away from each other. Steve was especially enjoying this because to be honest, he only asked Lacey to join him so that he could get a reaction out of you. He was unsuccessful because you knew he would always give in to you.

Steve grinds his crotch against yours while on top of you. Your back arched and you moaned against his lips. Scratching his bare back with your newly manicured nails. He shivers against you.

“Fuck, is the door locked?” He whispered into your ear. You nodded. He pulled himself out of his shorts and spat onto his hand. He pumps his cock a few times before tapping it against your mound. You bit your lip to hold your moan back. He lined himself up with your entrance and pushed hard. Your back arched almost instantly, moaning loud.

Steve pulled you up and sat back against the couch. He gripped your ass while you riding him hard. You fall forward against him, your hands in his curls. You moaned against his neck. You feel his tip hitting your sweet spot repeatedly.

You pull back from his sweaty body and you kissed him. Your quick pace started to slow down, feeling every inch of him going in and out of you. Rolling and grinding your hips against his. He had his hands on your face now.

He pulled out of you and asked for you to lay back. He kissed your lips then your neck, down to your chest, to your waist, navel, inner thighs and finally your pussy. He slowly pushed in two fingers while he sucks on your very sensitive clit. Your back arched. His free hand squeezed your thigh before making his way up to your nipple rolling it between his thumb and index finger.

“Oh god, Steve..” Your hand tugged at his curls as you rolled your hips against his face. His hand that was on your nipple found its way to your other free hand and interlocked fingers.

You found yourself at the edge of your orgasm. “Fuck, I’m close!” You moaned louder.

“Cum on my tongue, baby.” He said against your folds, picking up his pace now. While he ate you out, his fingers that were previously in your pussy was now wrapped around his cock. He jerked himself while you came on his tongue.

Your toes curled as you came undone, toes curled and everything. He lapped at your juices before moving up to kiss you. You tasted yourself on his lips.

He pulled away panting and you sat back up.

“Wait, you haven’t came.” You realised.

He lifted his cum covered hand to you, “Came while I was at it. You were too delicious to even stop.” He joked. You laughed, scooting closer to lean your head on his shoulder. He positioned your legs on his lap.

You tried not to give into his action. You pulled away from him. Pushing his hands off. “You’re not going to be forgiven that easily.” You sat upright, looking at him.

“What do I have to do? Tell me and I’ll do it.”He sat beside you, kissing your neck still. You finally got him to stop. He sighs, throwing his head back. He had his arms spread out.

You went to straddle him again which made him horny again but you looked a little serious this time. “You know what I want. It’s not much.” You ran your hands all over his chest. He held your wrists as you do.

He sighs, looking defeated slightly. Your face drops when you saw. You moved your hands off him. His hands moved to your face. “No, no..” You shook your head.

“Can’t we just stay as we are?”

“Tell me you don’t feel anything when we’re together. Tell me you’d rather be with Lacey. Don’t lie to me, Steve. Please.”

“Come on—”

“No, I hate that when we’re together all we do is just hook up. Tell me that that’s all you want me for. I like you, Steve. I ‘like like’ you. I know I sound desperate but honestly, tell me that you can’t see a future with me.” You hit his chest. A tear falling onto your cheek.

“Fuck, I—I like like you too. I don’t know why I told you I didn’t want anything more when you’re all I think about, baby.” He said it the way you did. He held your wrist. Bringing your hand to his lips. Planting a kiss. You sniffle. Falling front to him. Crying a little. You did not even know why you were crying.

He lifts your head off him. “Hey, hey.. don’t cry.”

You chuckle as he wiped your tear away. He kissed you again. You pout sweetly at him after. You rest against him as he rubbed your back soothingly. You remembered that Lacey was not out of the picture yet.

“You’re the first guy to make me cry after sex.” You mentioned randomly. He chuckled, apologising again. He planted small kisses on your shoulder while you rest in that position.

He knew how much being intimate meant to you and he still went ahead to say that he did not want any labels when you both were already having sex and doing things that couples did.

You finally move off him. Standing up to stretch. You pulled your bikini top back up, covering your breast. Steve helped to tie it up. You tried to find your bottoms on the couch but it was not there.

“Looking for this?” Steve held it up.

You try to reach for it and he held it higher. “Give me a kiss.”

You peck his lips but he did not budge. You jump higher and he smirked at your struggle. “Let me put it on you.”

You rolled your eyes at him. He gets on his knees, tapped your thighs open. He puts your bottom on for you then he kissed your covered mound. “Ew, Steve.” You jerked backwards. He tried to do it again and you swatted him away.

“You perv.”

“Only for you.” He smirked while tying the strings.

He stood back up, grinning wide. You bring your arms over his shoulder and tiptoed to peck his lips. The type of cheesy things you’d see in romance movies.

“What’re you going to do about Lacey outside?”

“Tell her the truth.”

“Oof, tough call.”

“Yep.” He popped his ‘p’. He asked for you to wish him luck.

warnings : smut content, piv, unprotected (wrap it before you tap it!), humping corner of sink counter, humiliation?.

synopsis : a continuation of part 1 yay but mean mattheo for no aftercare. short smut because i don’t really know how to write good smut.

auth’s note! : first time writing smut sooo hope it’s okay. no proofread, sorry!!! :)

part one part two part three collection

Mattheo’s lips crashes on yours after he wiped off Theo’s kiss for earlier. Your hands gripped his shoulders. You tried not to lose control in the kiss but the forbidden moment really made you want it more.

Your breath hitched as you feel his hand cupping your jaw, he pulls away to comment on it. “What’s wrong? Haven’t had a good kiss in a minute, huh?” He smirked back into the kiss. What did he meant by that? You thought to yourself.

In the background, you could hear the guys encouraging Mattheo to continue which made your ears turn red. You suddenly pull away from him. He swiped his lip with his thumb.

“Do you always taste like cherries?” He asked.

“Huh?” You replied, still in shock.

“Your lips, love.”

“Oh.”

You made eye contact with him. “Yeah, yeah.. I guess?”

Mattheo raised an eyebrow after that. You were not focus on him though as you tried to look for Theo who was not with the group anymore. Did it have something to do with the kiss?

“Has anyone seen Theo?” You asked.

The group shook their heads. His lips came down to your ear.

“Forget about him. Why are you worried?” His breath brushed against your ear. Sending shivers down your back. His hand squeezed your side and you jumped. Forgetting that you were on his lap.

You turned to meet his face to see a smirk planted on it. You decided to move off his lap and stand. You hugged your body. Mattheo caught that. The others were too out of it to even comment about this situation happening.

“I..I’m going in first.” You stuttered.

Leaving no room for anyone to butt in, you headed straight for the cabin again. Pushing through the door, your feet brings you to the bathroom. You sat on the toilet, running a hand through your hair. You looked down at your panties to see a wet stain from your aching core. You let a sigh out and pulled your panties back on. You stood up and went to wash your hands and accidentally bumped the corner of the counter. The feeling was good.

You decide to hop onto the counter and sit on the corner. You looked around as if there was an audience in the bathroom. The corner hits your covered clit. Earning a gasp from yourself. You continue to grind slowly on it. Your moans were stifled by your hand covering your mouth.

“Fuck..” You breathed.

All you could think about was the kiss between you and Mattheo earlier. Your head drops down and you found yourself moaning for him. Wishing it was his crotch you were grinding on.

“Mattheo.. fuck—” The door creaks open and you immediately hopped off the counter. You could only stand, mute. Mattheo invites himself in and locks the bathroom door behind him. He lifts you and sat you back on the sink counter. He stood between your legs and pulled you front. His bulge against your sopping panties.

You bit your lip to stifle another moan.

“What were you doing in here, love?” He asked with an amused tone to his voice. Your cheeks turn rosy pink, embarrassed about your actions before he came him. He hummed and pushed his bulge against your panties again.

You try to grind against him but he had a locked grip on your hips. “I know what you want but I need words.” He smirked. You shook your head, embarrassed. He asked again.

“Last chance, princess.” You remained silent.

“Okay I guess.” He pulled away and you ached more.

“Okay, please! Please let me.. you know.” You try to say it without getting embarrassed. He decides to let it slide for now. He swoops you off the counter in one go and made you wrap your legs around him. He turned the both of you around so that he could lean against the counter.

Your head falls to his shoulder as you grind slowly against his crotch. Your soft lips moaned against him. Your nails scratched against his covered back. He grunts into your ear. He thrusts up, jerking his hips forward. Your panties grow wetter by the second as you turn into a whimpering mess just by grinding.

“Merlin’s beard, if this is how you get just by this, I want to know what you’re like when a guy actually shags you.” He remarked. Not going to lie, it turned you off a little but you were too worked up to stop.

You decided that humping Mattheo is not going to help at all. You stop and he raised an eyebrow. “Came already?” He smirked.

“Not even close.”

“Ouch.”

He had a hand over his chest. You needed something more. He was the only person that had seen her all worked up and horny.

“I’m going to regret this.” She muttered to herself.

“What do you need, princess?”

“Fuck me.”

“Is that directed to me or..”

“Fuck yes, you!” You snapped. You began to pull off your soaking panties. You requested for Mattheo to switch the light off so he could not look at her body. He complied, surprisingly. He tried to reach out for your hips in the dark. You found his hands and placed them specifically above your stretch marks.

He feels for the counter and puts you on it. His hand slides between your thighs. He slides two fingers over your wet folds. Getting a whimper out of you. He groaned. Pulling you closer to his body.

“You always this wet, doll?” Mattheo said against you neck. He thumbed your clit and you jerked forward. In your defence, it’s been long since Cedric. You grinds on his fingers. He chuckled.

You ached for more, “I need you.”

You moaned as he hits your sweet spot just with his digits. Your back arched into him while he abused your hole. Mattheo smirked at you melting in his arms.

His sweatpants pool around his ankles as he pulled himself out of his boxers. He strokes his length and thumbed his tip. Pre-cum pearling at the slit. He spits on your already wet pussy before hitting the tip against your entrance. He pushed into your pussy. You cried out at his huge length.

“Mattheo, you’re so big!”

“I know, love..” Mattheo thrust into your tight pussy. He continues to hit your womb as his balls hits against your ass. He decided to ask you.

“Did Cedric ever felt this good?” He said all breathless.

You moaned out. “Fuck, must we really talk about that?”

He growled into your ear, he lifted you and turned. Your back hits the wall. He thrusted harder into you. Your nails dragged against his back as he hits your sweet spot.

Your walls tighten against him as you get closer.

“Mattheo, I’m gonna cum!” You moaned against his shoulder.

“Come on my cock, baby..” Hearing that, you came all over him. He came right after you and pulled out slowly.

Mattheo sat you back down onto the sink. He pulled his own sweatpants back up, giving you a wink before heading out the door. You sit naked on the sink counter, coming down from a high. There was no aftercare or even a goodbye kiss.

You dressed back into your clothes and walked out of the bathroom. Some of them were in the living room and you decided to head to bed first.

"Have a good time with your friends, you okay going back on your own?" Maddy told her sister through the car window. Max nodded, her face masked behind Michael Myers.

"Be safe, watch out for creeps!" She waved goodbye to her younger sister before driving off to Tina's Halloween party where Jules and Ophelia would meet her there. The radio had Cyndi Lauper singing Girls Just Want To Have Fun. Maddy mouthed along the words and pulled into the street where a lot of people seem to be walking into. She parked on the street and locked the car.

Maddy heard people calling her from a distance, she looked around and it was her friends. She fixed her hair before they could see it up close. Ophelia waved at Maddy and she waved back.

"Maddy! Over here!" Ophelia used her hand to call her over. She took a deep breath before walking over to her friends. Her pumps clacked on the floor as she walks. Her friends already giving her compliments from afar.

Ophelia was dressed as a Baywatch lifeguard and Jules as she said was Carrie, with all the fake blood along with the bloody sash. She looked like she came out of the movie herself. When Maddy came over, she gave each of them a hug.

"Ah, you like?" She twirls around, showing off her Daphne outfit.

"You guys look sexy." She turned to Ophelia, "Aren't you cold, in that?" She asked.

"Well, I'd rather be cold while looking hot and get guys than be warm but looking like a granny." Ophelia grinned, walking in the middle and linking arms with the girls on both sides of her. She talks about getting drunk and hitting on guys. Ophelia was totally gong to get shit faced in alcohol. Maddy chuckled, she knew she was not going to drink unless peer pressured into.

The three walked into the house, it already smelled like body sweat and alcohol. Ophelia went straight for the drinks and Jules tried to find the nearest couch to crash. She looks around the room and she sees a lot of new faces but one caught her eye. Steve Harrington. She knew he was off limits but it did not hurt to try to get to know him.

Maddy was walking over to where Steve was when she heard cheering from outside, she peeked and saw Billy being held upside down on a keg. People around him counting the seconds he has been on the keg. He was drinking straight. At forty-two he drops down.

The crowd goes up in cheers, "We got ourselves a new Keg King!" A guy beside Billy announced.

"Billy! Billy! Billy!" The crowd chants his name. "Whoo! That's how you do it, Hawkins!" Billy shouts, walking back into the party. It looked like he was walking to Steve. He goes up to the guy.

"Looks like we've got ourselves a new Keg King, Harrington." Billy smirks.

"Yeah, that's right!" One of Billy's newfound minions followed. 'Yeah. Eat it, Harrington." Another one commented. Maddy cringed at She rolled her eyes and continued walking.

"Daphne?" Someone pointed to her.

"Huh?"

"Daphne, Shaggy." He points to her then him. Maddy furrowed her eyebrows before she realised that she was wearing a Daphne costume, she blinks.

"Oh, OH! You're Shaggy!" She smiled widely at him, pointing to his green shirt and realising he was Shaggy. She was happy to see someone else in a Scooby Doo costume with her too. She laughs, he chuckles along. He stuck his hand out.

"I'm Finn by the way. What's your name, Daphne?" Finn asked, she looks down and takes his hand. "Maddy. Nice to meet you, Finn." They were holding hands for too long, she kind of got lost in his eyes. She pulled her hand away with a nervous chuckle, gulping.

Even as Shaggy, Finn looked good. "Let me get you a drink." He offered, Maddy said no the first time. "Oh come on, it's Halloween. Just one. Please?" He tilted his head, making puppy eyes. That was the first time she ever saw a boy give her puppy eyes. She sighs, nodding to his please.

Finn went to the kitchen which had an open concept in this house. The room was buzzing with music and people shouting. She pushed through sweaty guys to get to where Finn was. She sees the whole reason she was here in the first place, Steve. He was blocking the chips while he was stopping Nancy from drinking.

"Excuse me, sorry.." She pushed through Steve and Nancy.

"Oh, sorry." Steve apologises, he tries to stop Nancy. He turned back to Maddy to, say something? "Nice 'stume." He complimented, giving a nod. Maddy smiled awkwardly after thanking him.

Finn came back with the drinks, she takes one. He was going to be in her head all night. Finn offered to dance. They spent the night drinking and dancing. She did not think she would be drinking in Hawkins.

Her head was still replaying Steve's pathetic compliment. 'Nice 'stume.' She lets out an amused breath, taking a sip of the so called 'Pure Fuel'. She had drunk more heavier stuff than that. Finn was hauling her around to meet his friends.

He pulled her to the hallway of the house, near the bathroom. Nancy walked off with her white shirt stained red with 'Pure Fuel', she looks into the room. Steve had a look of disbelief on his face, like Nancy just broke up with him. Finn pushes into the bathroom, slinging his arm over Steve.

"Steve, buddy. Meet my new best friend, Maddy. She just moved here." Finn slurred his words. Pointing towards Maddy with his red solo cup that was half drunk. A song starts playing which apparently was Finn's jam so he rushed out to join the dance party outside.

Maddy was in the bathroom with Steve alone.

"So.." She sloshes her drink around. She leans against the counter, "What happened with the girl that was in here with you?" She asked. Steve ran his hand through his hair, look of disappointment on his face.

Steve glanced at Maddy before he walked out of the bathroom, leaving her in there alone. Maddy looked to both sides of her like she was finding an invisible audience. What the fuck was that? "I need another fucking drink." She groans, walking out of the bathroom.

Maddy went back to the bowl, scooping another cup of 'Pure Fuel'. She chugs it and shudders at the feeling before going to scoop for more.

After a few cups of 'pure liquid fuel' she started getting lightheaded, tripping over her own feet when she walked. She tries to find her friends and she spots Jules on the couch.

She walks over to Jules, plopping herself down beside Jules. Her head falls onto Jules's lap, she slurs her words. "He doesn't want me, Juju.. I saw him," She hiccups. Jules hand brushing her hair. "He said 'nice 'stume' and left me in a bathroom." She lifts her cup to her mouth but Jules stopped her.

"No.. that's full." She whines, reaching out lazily for her cup.

"I can see that, let's get you some water." Jules asked for one of her friends to replace her while she goes to take a drink for Maddy. Maddy giggles, moving her legs up onto the couch.

Her skirt riding up slightly. There were flashes when she did, meaning that some pervert snapped a picture with a polaroid camera.

Jules came back before there were any more of that. She pulled down Maddy's skirt and made her sit properly. She lifts the cup to Maddy's mouth and Maddy took weird little sips. Giggling every time Jules asked her to do anything serious.

Jules pulls the cup away and sets it on the busy coffee table. "No more drinking for you." Maddy pouts, fake crying but that did not last for long because she starts giggling again.

Max was done terrorising houses and kids on the street. She checks the time on her watch and it was five to seven, that was the time she was supposed to meet Dustin and his party. She was not far from Maple Street so she rushes there.

She hides behind a tree when she sees the party walking up, fighting about what was nougat's ranking to the cul de sac. When they were close enough she shouts, jumping out of her hiding spot, pointing her prop knife and making the boys shout. There was a more high pitched scream and it was Lucas.

Max pulled off the mask, laughing hard with her hand on gripping her pumpkin basket. "Holy shit! You should have seen the look on your faces." She looks at Lucas, "And you? Who screams like that? You sound like a little girl." She walks on.

The boys look at each other, like they do not know what just happened. Max turned back.

"Hey, you guys coming or not? Oh, I heard we should hit up Loch Nora. That's where the rich people live right?" She chuckles and continues walking. The rest of the party follows behind her but one with an unhappy look on his face.

Back at Tina's party where the older sister was, it was not getting better. Maddy had ran off to dancing to Billie Jean with the others. Finn found her again and she was now dancing very freely. He got behind her, joining her. She turned so their faces meet. The both of them were very drunk. Maddy stood on her tiptoes, planting a kiss onto Finn's lips. He chuckles.

What she did not know was Jules was looking at them.

"I've got to do something before she regrets it." She left her cup with Ophelia who was making out with Count Dracula, getting some white face paint on her chin.

"Okay, okay enough!" Jules says from afar.

Jules walked up to the two on the makeshift dance floor, pulling Maddy off Finn. "Hey! I was kissing him, he tastes like cherry." Maddy said after licking her lips, going in for one more but she was stopped. This was going to be an embarrassing memory for Maddy if she will even remember what happened tomorrow morning.

Her friend had to pull her away from the boy, she waves goodbye to Finn and rested her head over Jules shoulder. "Bathroom." Maddy slurred, Jules rushed her to the bathroom, Maddy got on her knees and starts to vomit out all of the 'Pure Fuel' that she has been drinking. Jules held her hair up, looking away from the sigh.

Maddy pushed her hand to fan Jules away, "Look away," She hurled, Jules groaned. Rubbing Maddy's back. After she was done, she leaned on the sink cabinet. She wiped her mouth and coughed. She stared at Jules with half-lidded eyes, giggling. She brings a finger up to Jules's cheek but Jules backed up slightly.

"You care," Maddy giggles before she hiccups. "Juju.." She said in a admiring manner, she was still drunk after puking up most of her stomach content.

Jules helped Maddy up by slowly pulling her arms up. Maddy stood up but her legs were wobbly. She insisted that she could walk. They walked out of the party. It was chilly outside. Finn was still inside and so was Ophelia. She looks at the front yard, couples kissing and people throwing up in the bushes. She bumps into a guy and she mumbles an apology.

A girl comes up to Jules, "Hey, I didn't get to catch you inside." The girl smiles, putting her hands in her pants pocket. The girl looked at Jules then Maddy. Jules turned her head to Maddy.

"Do you mind?"

"Go ahead, I'll sleep on the grass."

"Okay, I won't be long." Jules said, the girl held a hand out for her and she took her hand. Maddy waves. Once her friend gone back inside, she sat at curb. Mumbling to herself. A guy sits next to her. She looks up. Steve? She thought.

Maddy turned her head to him, too drunk to act cool around him. She points at him. "You, you.." She pokes his chest, "You're the one that left me in that bathroom inside." Steve furrows his eyebrows. He had a red solo cup in his hand, with alcohol still in it.

"You're an asshole for that, Harrington." She slurred. "But you're a cute asshole." She giggles, messing up her hair with her hands. She leans her head on his shoulder. She hiccups.

"I'm glad that Nancy is done with you, I think I like you. Do you like me, Harrington?" If Maddy was sober she would not have said all of this. "I mean, who couldn't like me. I'm cute." She giggled. Hell, she would not even be sitting with Steve right now. She eyes for his cup.

"Can I have that?" Maddy reaches for his cup, he pulls away. "I'm thirsty.." She mumbles.

"I think you had too much to drink." He chuckles, Maddy felt lightheaded and the next thing was she dropped her head onto his lap. She was out cold. Steve did not know what to do. He pulled his blazer off and covered her.

He looks around and sees Jules walking with a girl. The girl gave Jules a kiss on the cheek before going back into the party. She smiled to herself, tucking her hair behind her ear. Steve called out to Jules. Pointing to a sleeping Maddy on his lap. She rushes over.

"Shit, what happened?" Jules asked. She looked at Steve, "Did you do something to her?" she narrowed her eyes. Steve rolled his.

"Yes. She could not handle all this so she fainted in my lap." He ran a hand through his hair. "Obviously not, she fell asleep." He said in a more softer tone. Jules had to think about what to do. Steve offered to drive them home. Jules had no choice but to take it.

Steve passed his keys to Jules to hold. In a quick second, he picked Maddy up bridal style with his blazer covering her . They walked to Steve's car down the road. Jules helped to unlock his car. He placed Maddy in the backseat with Jules, head on her lap. Jules brushed Maddy's hair. Steve got into the driver's seat.

"What's her address?" He looked at Jules through the rear view mirror.

"4819 Cherry Lane."

Steve nodded, starting his car. He pulled out of the street onto the main road. He had the urge to ask. He looked at Maddy sleeping through the rear view mirror. He makes eye contact with Jules, working up the courage to ask a simple question.

"How long has she been here?"

"Not long, she moved three days ago I think." Jules answered, he nods. Eyes on the road but mind filled with questions.

After a few turns and red lights, he pulled into Old Cherry Lane. By then Jules was also sleepy, she closed her eyes for five minutes. When she woke up, Maddy was being slowly carried out by Steve. "Oh hey, I didn't want to wake you so I thought I'd bring her in myself."

Jules ran her hands through her hair, shaking her head. "No it's fine, I'll follow you in. You wouldn't want her parents to get the wrong idea." Jules got out of the car too. They walked to her door. Jules ringed the doorbell, Billy opened the door. He raised an eyebrow, looking at his stepsister in some guy's arms.

"Well, well. Trick or treat is getting wilder every year." He smirks.

"Just let us in." Jules scowled with annoyance, Billy moves to the side. Jules going in first, Steve glared at Billy as he followed Jules. Max was already home. She opens her door to see a guy holding her sister.

"Oh my god, what happened?" Max followed the two older kids into Maddy's room. Steve sets her on the bed on her side.

"She just had too much to drink." Jules takes Maddy's shoes off. Max sets a trash can at the side of the bed incase she needed to vomit. Jules and Steve walked out of Maddy's room, Max sitting with her sister in the bedroom.

Billy narrowed his eyes when Steve and Jules walked out. "Harrington!"

He curled his index finger as a way of asking Steve to come over. Steve walked over, Billy took a hard drag of his cigarette before tossing it on the ground. He gave Steve one of his iconic stares with his eyes narrowed, he sucks his teeth. He got closer to Steve.

"What were you doing with my sister, huh?"

"I brought her home." Steve said straightforwardly.

"Don't try anything funny with my sister, Harrington." Billy warned. "I've got eyes everywhere."

Billy got up close and personal with Steve. Jules noticed the tension, she goes to break them up. She pulled Steve back by the shoulder. They walked back to Steve's car. He offered to take Jules home.

"Dick." Billy scoffs, watching the car pull out of the street and he walked back into the house. He sees Max going out of Maddy's room without closing the door. He walked into the room, pulling her covers over her body. Turning her lamp off and walking out of Maddy's room. Closing the door behind him.

The light hits her eyes in Billy’s car. Maddy woke up with a raging headache this morning, finding herself in her costume. Now she was on the way to school, she pushed her sunglasses up her nose bridge. Her head leaning against the car window. Billy's driving was making her headache worse.

"God! Pick a lane, Billy. My head is hurting with your shitty driving." She grumbles. Billy glared at her from the rear view mirror. He grips the steering wheel harder, speeding up. She slouched in her seat at the back. Regretting her decision saying yes to a drink at Tina's party.

Billy pulled into the school parking lot. He switched the engine off and got out of the car. He fixes his jacket, eyes squinting from the morning sun. Max was already heading to her school. Maddy got out of the car, pulling her messenger bag over her shoulder. She tugs her seed and white striped shirt down, pulling the long sleeves over her hands because it was chilly.

A hand gripped her arm, no one other than Billy. "I don't want to see you talking to Harrington, you hear me?" He squints his eyes. Maddy furrowed her brows. She could not remember when she talked to Steve even once yesterday except for when he complimented her costume.

"Let go of me." Maddy pulled her arm away from him, walking away from the car. She really could not remember what happened yesterday after meeting Steve in the bathroom. Her head was going to be the reason she loses focus today in school.

She pushed through the double doors and straight to Jules's locker which seems to be the meet up spot for the three. She saw them there already. She gave a wave. Ophelia looked as hungover as she was. Jules looked perfectly fine.

"Hungover?" Ophelia pointed out, Maddy grinned.

"Please tell me you know why Billy is telling me not to talk to Steve?" Maddy asked, gripping her bag strap.

Ophelia shrugs, "Byers brought my sister home yesterday, that's what my mother said. From Nancy, it seems bad between her and Steve." Maddy kept quiet about her taking a liking to Steve from Ophelia because she was Nancy's sister.

Jules smirked like she knew something but she was looking over Maddy's shoulder. A hand goes around Maddy's eyes. She was going to full on panic.

"Guess whooo.." The voice said. She recognises that voice.

"Finn?" She answered. He pulled his hand off her eyes and slung it around her while putting his other hand in his pocket. She knows she met Finn at the party but what was he doing here. Ophelia smirks. "Ooh, tell me all about your man candy, Mads."

Ophelia nudges her teasingly and she rolled her eyes with an amused scoff. She denies Finn as her so called 'man candy'. Finn unwraps his arm from Maddy. Saying he sees some people he had to say hi to. Maddy looked confused.

"Okay, someone better explain everything that happened last night or I'll go crazy."

"Fine, I know everything that happened last night. I think you'll need to sit for this." Jules gave her a warning. Oh no, this cannot be good. Maddy thought. They walked to their homeroom class. Maddy sat behind Jules.

Jules turned to the back, ready to tell a story.

"Okay so, you got drunk. Like reaaaally drunk." Jules held Maddy's hands for this. "And you kind of blacked out on Steve Harrington's lap." she added, wincing. Maddy's eyes widened.

"I did WHAT?" She answered in shock and a little too loud.

"It's just that you were on the brink of making out with Finn and I pulled you away before you did. You threw up and I decided that it was time you headed home but Melissa pulled me last minute. We talked and when we were done, I found you with Harrington with your head on his lap." Jules confessed. Maddy blinked, speechless.

"And you know how I feel about Melissa." Jules pouted to gain sympathy.

Jules looked at Ophelia before looking back at Maddy. She looked like she was ready to run out of her chair, "Please don't kill me but when he brought us back, he carried you to your bed." Jules rushed her words, Maddy's eyes were going to pop out of their sockets.

Her sunglasses dropped onto the table. She stood up, chasing after Jules who was already out the door. "What the hell, Jules!" She chased after her friend, forgetting all about her hangover.

"I'm sorry! I didn't mean to!" Jules says while running. Maddy bumps into a chest. She apologises without looking up and when she did she froze. "Hi, there." He grinned. Steve fucking Harrington.

"Hi." She lets out.

"I think we need to talk."

"Yeah, okay." She nodded, following the senior to an empty hallway. She tucked her hair behind her ear, arms folded like she needed to keep her guard up because of yesterday's mistakes. Steve towered over her. She could not help but to feel flustered.

"Well, what do you want to talk about?"

"You don't know?" His brows furrowed.

"No, not really." Maddy shook her head. She just heard everything she did by her friend and it was not even the full story. Steve pushed off the wall. Going closer to her. The both of them know that they were not supposed to see each other.

Steve raised an eyebrow at her. "You really don't know what happened?" Maddy shook her head, how many times did he want her to say no. "You want to hear it in Spanish?" She asked sarcastically. He chuckled at her smart remark.

They were inches away from each other now, "Not even when you said you're glad that Nancy ended things with me because you like me?" Maddy's mouth gaped open, she said that? She starts to stutter. He chuckled.

"I was drunk, I didn't mean it." She stutters, looking away from him. Fuck, what was she supposed to do now?

He touched her chin, making her look at him again. He tilted her head up. Her stomach flips. 'What the hell is going on?' Maddy thought to herself. "We all know that drunk words are sober thoughts, sweetheart." He said in a lower octave.

Their eyes meet before hers flickered down to his lips. Their lips almost touch but the bell rings for first classes.

Maddy snaps out of it. Steve pulls away, a smirk planted on his lips. "I've got to go." She walks away, her heart beating fast. What was Steve trying to do? She ran her hands through her hair.

She goes back into homeroom to take her bag. She heads to the girls washroom, looking in the mirror. She had a light pink hue on her cheeks from that.

Maddy walked out of the washroom, going back to class. She drowns out the sound of Mr Simmons teaching and that moment with Steve replaying in her head.

Before you know it, it was time for her first P.E class of the week and it was also the last class of the day. She follows her girls to the locker room, changing into the correct attire which was the Hawkins High shirt and green shorts that looked so bad. She placed her hair up in a ponytail. Maddy was a soccer player back home so P.E was currently on top on her list of subjects.

She stretched first. Jules could have care less about sports so she benched herself while Ophelia was playing to get on people's nerves till her friend joined. Maddy told the teacher she could substitute another player. He switched one of the players for Maddy and she joined. Not seeing that Billy was playing. Shirtless.

Maddy groaned, seeing Billy showing off and giving the girls a whole show. He was against Steve's team. Luckily she was on Steve's team instead of Billy's.

She plays and she was good at it too. Steve passes to her and she passed back. Steve was covered by Billy, he starts taunting Steve.

"Harrington, right?" Billy pushes against Steve, pushing back and forth. "I heard you used to run this school. That true?" He breathes heavily on Steve. Steve gave a grunt, trying to push through.

"Still harassing my sister, Steven?" Billy asked. The sweat glistening his face and body.

"King Steve, they used to call you, huh?" Billy was talking right beside Steve's ear. "Then you turned bitch." He said in a lower tone, smirking.

Steve stood up taller, still trying to push through. Ball bouncing in his hand, "Hey, maybe you should just shut up and play the game." He suggested. He reaches his left arm out to block Billy. Billy trips him and Steve went to the ground.

"Steve!" Maddy ran to him, she helped him up but by doing that Billy just earned a point for his team. The players in her team groans when coach whistled. Steve stared at Maddy, looking at her.

"You should wear your hair up more often." He said out of breath.

"Steve." A voice called for him. Shit, it was Nancy. He walked out of the school gym, making her team lose a player. Maddy continued playing, competing with Billy.

Maddy had the ball and she aims for the goal but she was met with his sweaty chest. "Ugh, what the fuck." Maddy groaned, having touched his chest briefly with her arm. She wipes it off.

"You just don't listen, do you?" Billy grits his teeth. Maddy's brows furrowed. "I told you to stay away from that guy." He pushes against Maddy.

Maddy scoffed, "And I'm supposed to avoid him why?" Her tone sarcastic. Billy lets out an amused chuckle. "You've got mouth on you, Mads." He steals the ball easily from her, making another shot because she was distracted.

She groans loudly and stepped off court that the teacher had to substitute her position. She sat beside Jules who was flipping through a magazine. Her arms resting back on the next level of the bleachers. She scoffs. "He's such a pain in the ass!"

Jules hummed, "Huh? Oh, Billy. Yeah, he sucks." Sounding very uninterested but Maddy did not even realise that her friend was not listening. "Ugh, I hate him so much!" She moves her head to her friend's lap. Jules patted her head.

The door swung open and she lifted her head, Steve walked in all furious like he could beat Billy in the game now. Maddy fully sat up and starts cheering for Steve. She nudges Jules.

"Hey, cheer with me." Maddy offered.

"I'd rather lick the gym floor."

"But you're a cheerleader." Maddy raised an eyebrow. Jules chuckled and snorted. "Ironic, isn't it?" Maddy shrugs her shoulders and continued watching Steve play.

"Hey, where were you?" A voice made Maddy turn her head, it was Melissa talking to Jules. Jules shuts her magazine and placed it beside her, attention fully on Melissa now.

"Oh but she gets your attention quickly." Maddy grumbles, Jules reached out and pinched Maddy's side for that comment. She yelps, standing up. "Okay, going, going, gone!" She walks back on court.

At the middle school, her sister was caught up with those boys who followed her trick-or-treating last night. Dustin opened his trap that he brought last night. "His name is d'Artagnan." He introduces the group to what looks like a slug covered in goo. Dustin picks the creature up with his bare hands.

"Cute, right?" He asked.

"D'Artagnan?" Mike repeated the slug's name.

"Dart for short."

Max looked at the creature squirming in Dustin's hand. "And he was in your trash?" Dustin nodded, "Foraging for food."

Dustin lifts Dart up, "You wanna hold him?" Max immediately shook her head. "No, no." Dustin tries to convince her that Dart does not bite. Max lifted her hands but she was saying no. Dustin placed Dart in Max's hand.

"Oh, God, he's slimy!" Her face scrunched, passing it straight away to Lucas who was forced to take it out of Max's hands. He groaned too.

"Ugh, he's like a living booger." Lucas added. He passed it on to Will. Will makes disgusted noises and gave Dart to Mike who seemed daring to look Dart in the eye to figure out what it is.

Mike lifted Dart to his eye level, examining that little guy's face. "What is he?" Mike asked. Dustin smirked, "My question exactly." He puts down books that he illegally borrowed from the library about creatures like Dart also known as Pollywogs.

"At first, I thought it was some kind of Pollywog."

"Pollywog?" Max asked.

"It's another word for tadpole. A tadpole is the larval stage of a toad." Dustin explained to Max. "I know what a tadpole is." Max looked up at Dustin, eyes narrowed.

"All right, then you know that most tadpoles are aquatic, right?" He flips to the page he marked with a folded corner. "Well, Dart, he isn't. He doesn't need water."

"Yeah, but aren't there non-aquatic pollywogs?" Lucas mentioned.

"Terrestrial pollywogs?" Dustin brought up. "Yep. Two to be exact. Indirana semipalmata and the Adenomera andreae. One from India and one from South America." He flips through the book.

"So how did one end up in my trash?"

"Maybe some scientist brought it here and it escaped?" Max gave her theory.

"Do you guys see that?" Mike asked, seeing something that is moving inside of Dart's body. "Looks like something's moving inside of it." He added. They all stared closely. Mike pulls the light down, shining it on Dart. The slug screeches from the heat of the bulb. It moves away from the light, almost falling off the table but Dustin caught it.

"Whoa, it's okay, it's okay. I got you little guy." He smiles at Dart. Dart chitters on Dustin's palm, looking up at the kid. Everyone gave judging looks to him when he was talking to Dart. Dustin looks up. "And there's another thing."

Dustin pets Dart with his index finger, "Reptiles, they're cold blooded. Ectothermic, right? They love heat, the sun." He looks down at Dart. "Dart hates it. It hurts him."

Lucas chimed in, "So if he's not a pollywog or a reptile.."

"Then I've discovered a new species." Dustin had a proud grin on his face. The creature squirming around in his hand. The bell rings and they rushed out of the AV room. "We've got to show it to Mr Clarke." Lucas suggested.

Dustin denied. "No. What if he steals my discovery?"

"He's not going to steal your discovery." Mike added.

"You know, I'm thinking of calling it Dustonius pollywogus." He turns to Max who just appeared beside him. "What do you think?"

Max scoffed, "I think you're an idiot."

They kept on walking to class, "You know, when I get rich and famous for this one day, don't come crawling back, saying 'oh my god, Dustin. I'm so sorry for being mean to you back in 8th grade'."

Back to Maddy, who was already out of school. She walks to the cafeteria with her friends, spending their afternoon together for a while before she had to go pick up her sister. Ophelia was gossiping about some guy in school and Jules was being distracted by Melissa. Maddy was listening to Ophelia run her mouth.

Ophelia stops and she raised her eyebrow, looking over Maddy's shoulder. Maddy felt someone behind her, she turned. Steve. "Can I talk to you?" He asked. She turned back. "Why?" She huffs. Steve rolled his eyes. "Just please." He sighs. Maddy stood up, taking her bag.

"I've got to go, guys." She told her friends. She slung her bag over her shoulder and walked with Steve. Her arms folded like earlier. He offered to carried her bag. She gripped it, shaking her head. Why was he being weird?

Steve pulled her into an empty hallway. They stood at opposite walls, he looked at her. "Nancy and I are done." He told her. Her face had a look saying 'what does that have to do with me?'. He sighs, coming closer to whisper.

"Did you mean what you said at the party last night?" His voice just below a whisper. Maddy sighs.

"Look, I said what I said. I blacked out, I don't remember anything after 6.30. Plus, why do you care? Shouldn't you still be butt hurt over her breaking up with you." She looks away, was he using her as a rebound or something? "I don't know what you're getting at but I was drunk, Steve."

Maddy sighed. He ran his hand through his hair. She looked at him. "We don't even know each other. You saw the drunk version of me, not the real me. I might like what I see but its your personality that changes everything." She got closer to him.

"And right now? It's not looking good for you." She shook her head. Maddy walked away from the conversation to make her way to the middle school so that she could go pick her sister up.

Max followed Lucas and Dustin to Mr Clarke's room. Dustin place the trap onto the desk. "This is why I was late for class." Dustin looked at his teacher, who was examining the trap that was handmade.

"Pretty neat. These doors function?"

"Well, yeah, obviously. But it's not about the trap. It's what's inside." Dustin building up the suspense to his so called new species that he found. "Now this very well may change your perception of the world."

Mr Clarke smiled, "Consider my interest piqued."

Dustin nodded, still wary about his teacher stealing his new found species. "All right, first, let's just clarify that.." He gestures to the trap. "This is my discovery, not yours." He clears things up. Max and Lucas groans at his overthinking. Asking him to hurry it up.

"Dustin, Jesus! Just show him!" Lucas said.

"All right, I was just trying to clarify—"

"Dustin." Max cuts him off. "Okay, fine." Dustin reached out for the button to open the trap but the classroom door swung open. "Stop!" Mike grabs the trap. Apologising to Mr Clarke. "I'm really sorry, Mr Clarke. It was just a stupid prank."

Dustin knits his brows. "What are you doing?" Mike explains to his teacher who looked more or less clueless, "I told him to stop." He turned to his friends. "We need to go." Rushing out of the classroom with the trap. "Right now. Right now!"

The others followed behind. They all sneaked into the AV room, making Max wait outside the room. She waited for ten minutes before she got impatient. Banging on the door. "Hello? Guys, come on, can I come in yet?" She asked.

Mike shouts. "No!" She groans, hitting the door. She stood outside, clueless about what was going on inside. Maddy turns into the same hallway. "Max?" She furrowed her brows. "What are you doing outside a uh... AV room?" She reads the sign on the door.

"Those shit brains in there won't let me in." Max folded her arms, complaining about being left out. Maddy knocks on the door. "Hello?" Maddy hesitates to say. "This is official party meeting, no unauthorised person allowed!" A voice from inside said.

"Authorised what?" She mutters to herself. She turned back to Max. Asking her what all this was about. Max explains about Dart and how he is a new creature. Maddy snickers. "What's so funny?" Max asked.

Maddy laughs before sighing. "A creature named Dart, that looks like a tadpole but isn't who hates the heat and sun? Max, I'm happy you're making friends but what are you talking about?" She placed a hand on her sister's shoulder. Max shrugs her hands off and reached into her bag, taking a paper clip from her folder and disassembled it to pick the lock.

"Max, what're you doing?"

"I've got to get in there." Max was determined to get that lock picked. When she gets the door unlocked, Dart comes running out. Going past Max and Maddy. The boys ran out of the room, Dustin tripping and collapsing on her sister. "Oh my god!" Maddy helps her sister up but all she could think about was what the hell just walked past them?

"What was that?" Max asked.

"Dart! You let him escape!" Mike answered with a yell. Max brushed herself off. Maddy's eyes widened. Dart is real? She thought to herself. Dustin went straight for Mike. "Why did you attack him?" Mike pushes past Dustin, chasing after an inter dimensional slug.

Maddy stops her sister. "You weren't joking?" Max nodded. "Yeah, does it look like I was? Now help us catch him." Max ran after them. "Woah, woah, catch him?" Maddy questioned, Max was further up and she had no choice but to have to follow the kids.

The kids split up and Maddy followed her sister to the boys locker room to find for Dart. They searched the smelly room for a small creature but was met with Mike. Max turned, gripping her skateboard looking like she was going to squash him.

"What the hell are you doing?" She asked.

"What are you doing?" Mike answered back. "Why are you in here?" He had a point, it was the boy's locker room.

"Looking for Dart."

"This is the boy's room."

"Yeah, so?”

"So you should go home." Mike drops the mop. Bursting out of the room. Max followed after him. "Why do you hate me so much?" She asked. "I don't hate you. How can I hate you? I don't even know you." He walks away with his chunky walkie talkie in hand.

"But you don't want me in your party." Max stated. "Correct." Mike said. "Why not?" Max insisted. Mike turned around. "Because you're annoying." He paused. "Also we don't need another party member." He added.

"I'm our paladin, Will's our cleric, Dustin's our bard, Lucas is our ranger and El is our mage."

Max blinked. "El? Who's El?"

Mike hesitates. "Uh, someone. No one."

"Someone or no one?" Max raised an eyebrow at the boy. He sighs of exasperation. "She was in our party a long time ago." He looked down at his feet. "She moved away, okay?" Mike definitely did not want any more questions about El. He walks away.

"She was a mage?" Max placed her skateboard down. Getting on it. She skates around Mike. "What could she do? Magic tricks or something?" She stops in front of Mike. "Well, I could be your zoomer." She suggested.

"That's not even a real thing." Mime shook his head.

"It could be." Max insisted, she shows off her skating. "See? Zoomer."

Mike nodded. "Mind-blowing." He added sarcastically. Max skates circles around Mike. "Come on, you know you're impressed." She shrugs her shoulders in confidence. Mike glares at the girl.

"I don't see any tricks. You're just going around in circle." He observed. "If it's so easy, you try it." Max challenged him.

"No." He declined.

"Why not?" She asked.

"I don't know how." Mike retorted. "So then you admit it's kind of impressive." Max assume. Skating around the boy a few more times. "I think if I spent, like, all day practicing, I could do that." Mike said.

"I would give you a million bucks if you could." Max bets, still thinking that Mike could not get on a skateboard and successfully do what she could. She makes more circles around him, saying she will stop when she joins the party and by then Maddy was out of the locker room.

When Maddy saw her sister fall, she runs to Max's side. "You okay?" Max nodded. The sisters glanced at the door when Mike ran out. Maddy helped her sister up, going back to where the others were. They ran into Lucas and followed him. On the radio, Will said that he found Dart. They all head to the washroom by Mr Salerno's class.

Dustin was there before them, they looked into the stalls to see no inter dimensional slug. "Okay, what are we supposed to be looking at?" Maddy asked. The other shrugged.

"He said by Salerno's right?" Max confirmed. Dustin nodded. Maddy narrowed her eyes at Dustin. His hat looking very unusual but she does not bring it up. "Maybe Will has him." Dustin suggested.

"Where is Will?" Mike asked.

Maddy met up with Jules in the morning. She saw Jules waving goodbye at her little brother Dustin who was in a Ghostbuster's jumpsuit with his other friends, cycling down. She smiled when she saw the kids singing the theme song when getting off their bikes. How she wished Max would dress up for Halloween in school, unfortunately her sister was too nonchalant to do that. She walked beside her friend, who was taking pictures like she was asked to by her mother.

"That's so cute, they have matching costumes." Maddy chuckled, Jules turned her head to her, asking if Max was wearing one.

It earned her a laugh, Maddy shook her head. "Please, as much as Halloween is Max's favourite holiday, she would not be caught dead in a costume at school especially if she's new."

Jules nodded, understanding the feeling. They walked into the school, which had a very different atmosphere than the middle school. They talked about their costumes for the party later. Maddy decided on going as Daphne from Scooby Doo because she had the same colour hair as Daphne and she would look sexy in it. Jules was going as Carrie. Maddy was impressed.

"Hey, Juju!" A arm slung around Jules's shoulder, earning a yelp from her.

"Opie, hey." Jules pulled her into a hug. So this is Opie. Ophelia looked at Maddy and furrowed her brows. Maddy pressed her lips into a straight line, Jules forgot that they did not know each other. She pulled out of her thoughts.

"Oh right. Mads, this is Ophelia. Opie, this is the Maddy I was talking about last night." Jules smiled, her two friends were just getting acquainted with each other.

Maddy was pulled into a tight hug, "Ooh, okay there?" She strained a chuckle.

Ophelia releases her and apologises, chuckling. "Sorry, I'm a hugger."

Maddy gave a nod, laughing along. They walked to their lockers. Ophelia apologises for being late, her mother was taking countless photos of her brother in his Ghostbusters outfit. Maddy turned her head to Ophelia, "Ghostbusters?" She arched an eyebrow, a small smile tugging at her mouth. "Please tell me he was the one proton pack and everything."

Ophelia nodded, leaning on the locker beside her. "Homemade. Cardboard, duct tape, the works. Mum made him pose like he was saving the world."

Maddy laughed softly. "That actually sounds kind of amazing."

"It would've been," Ophelia said, her head drops to the locker as if it was the only thing holding her up, "if we didn't have to retake every photo because he kept blinking or asking if he was done yet halfway through."

Maddy shook her head, amused. "Worth it, though. Future blackmail material."

"Absolutely," Ophelia replied, finally smiling. "I'm saving them all.”

Jules shuts her locker after taking her books, "Mike is her brother," She hugs her books, "Y'know the Wheelers, Nancy and Opie."

Maddy knew it, "Oh, you're the Opie!"

Ophelia nodded, "The one and only." She had a big smile on her face. They walked to homeroom first. They sat beside each other in the middle of the class. She sees a short-haired girl, band equipment and everything. Lugging it around the back.

"Hey, can I sit behind you?" The girl asked after parking her French horn at the back of the class. Jules nodded, the girl thanked her. Maddy narrowed her eyes at Jules when the girl sat behind her. There was something she could not place her finger on.

Meanwhile at the middle school, Max was in class again after encountering those boys in the hallways again. Can this boys just leave me alone? She thought. She drowns out the sound of Mr Clarke talking about science, waiting for the time to leave this class.

Max was at her locker, stuffing her books into it. She sees two boys in Ghostbusters jumpsuits coming up to her. The curly haired one cleared his throat before he introduced his friend and himself.

"Um.. Hi Max, I'm Dustin and this is," Dustin got cut off by the other boy, "Lucas." Lucas smiled proudly. Max left her locker opened, holding her skateboard under her arm.

"Yeah, I know." Her head tilt, her hand holding the door of her locker. "The stalkers."

The smile on the boys faces drop when she called them that, she looked at each other like they did not know what to do next. "Uh no, actually.. We weren't stalking you." Lucas denies the new label that Max gave him.

They tried to make up a fake excuse for being there at the arcade and digging through the trash for her note plus the stares they have been giving her since the first day after finding out that she was Mad Max. "No, we were just concerned because, you know, you're new and all."

Lucas rubs his eyebrow as he tries to make a lie on the spot as Dustin tries to improv,  "Yeah, for your safety." Max raised an eyebrow in their direction, were they serious? They were so pathetic, she found it slightly amusing.

"Mhm, there are a lot of bullies here." Dustin continued, "So many bullies, it's crazy" Lucas agrees with his curly haired friend, making a spinning motion with his finger at the side of his head.

Max scans their outfit with judgement, "Is that why you're wearing proton packs?"

"Well, these don't function. But.. I do have this handy-dandy little trap here." Dustin takes the remote for his trap, "And look, it even opens and closes. Look, look, look."

He pressed the remote and the trap opens, a proud smile on both their faces. Max looked really unamused at the little machine. "Voila!" Dustin showed his gummy smile.

"It's cool, right?" Dustin looked at Max for any signs of excitement, no avail. "No? Okay. But um.. So, we were talking last night, and you're new here, so you probably don't have any friends to take you trick-or-treating, and you're scared of bullies so we were thinking that it would be okay for you to come with us."

"It'd be okay?" Max narrowed her eyes at Dustin.

"Yeah. Our party is a democracy and the majority voted you could come."

"I didn't realise that it was such an honour to go trick-or-treating with you." Max gives a sarcastic smile to the boys. It was funny that they thought she did not have any friends to go trick-or-treating with.

"Yeah, I mean, we know where to get the full-sized candy bars." Dustin boasts, not knowing that Max was being sarcastic to them. "We figured you'd want in." He smirks.

"That's presumptuous of you."

Max stared at the boys, whose faces has dropped at the big word she used. Dustin smiled, making it seemed like he knew the meaning of the word which he did not.

"Yeah. Totally." Dustin agreed, doubtingly. "Uh, so, um.. you'll come?"

Max rolled her eyes, shutting her locker before walking away from the two boys. She heard that annoying voice getting more further. "We're meeting at the Maple Street cul-de-sac at 7. That's 7 on the dot!"

She walked out to the parking lot. Seeing Maddy and Billy arguing. "It's fine, let her be. It's only the second day." Maddy tries to reason with him. He shook his head, taking a long drag of his cigarette.

"I don't fucking care, I meant it when I said to come to the car when you finish. What I say goes." He used his hands to prove his point. Maddy rolled her eyes.

"She's a kid, let her try to make friends after school."

"If she's not here in two minutes, I'm driving off. With or without you too." Max was skating down the road of the parking lot, picking it up when she was in front of the car. Maddy pulled her into a hug. "Hey, how was school?" She asked and before Max could answer, Billy cuts her off.

Billy drops his cigarette and smushed it with his shoe. "You're late again."

"Yeah, I had to get catch-up homework." Max pulled the car door handle.

"Jesus, I don't care." Billy turned his head. "You're late again and you're skating home. Do you hear me?" He warns.

Maddy shrugs her bag off before opening the passenger car door, "Hey, enough. Let's just go." She said. She shuts the door and he goes in. Billy turned on the ignition and drove off. He pulls out of the school's parking lot, chewing on gum that was in his mouth.

Once he was out of the school zone, he speeds up. Maddy grips onto the seat. Gosh, could he go any more faster? Billy complains about Hawkins. "God, this place is such a shithole." He flare his nose.

"It's not that bad." Max commented.

"No?" He flips the switch that opens the windows, Max looked at Billy. The smell of farm hits Maddy's nose. She scrunched her nose and fanned her hand in front of her face. Billy inhales hardly. His fingers pinched his nose.

"You smell that, Max? That's actually shit." He turned his head. "Cow shit."

Maddy had a hand over her mouth, Max scrunched her nose too but she bit back at him. "I don't see any cows." She turned to face Billy.

"You clearly haven't seen the high school girls, especially that one.."

"Enough, Billy." Maddy cuts him off. Max rolled up the windows. He placed his hands back on the wheel at a two and a ten. He turns his focus back to the road. Furious. "So what, you like it here now?" Billy asked her.

"No." Max furrowed her eyebrows.

"Then why are you defending it?"

"I'm not."

"Sure sounds like it."

Max looked down at her lap. Maddy takes over. "If she likes it now, that's her choice. You don't have a.." She was cut off by Max. "It's just that we're stuck here so.." Max stops before she says anything that would get her in trouble later.

"You're right. We're stuck here." He agrees with Max. But not in a good way. He turned his head to her, hands still on the wheel. "And whose fault is that?" He stared at Max. Maddy sensed danger already but she could not do anything from the back except for warning him to stop and to focus on the road.

"Yours." Max said, voice barely under a whisper. She is in trouble now, Maddy would have to butt in soon. Billy's eyes darkened.

"What'd you say?" He asked.

"Nothing."

"Okay, relax. Billy, your hand is on the wheel." Maddy tried to mediate things, scared that he would do something stupid that was going to get them into an accident.

Billy ignores the voice in the back, "Are you saying it's my fault?"

"No." Max quickly gulped her words.

"You know whose fault it is." Billy scowled.

"Say it." He demanded, "Maaax.." he turned his head to her before staring back at the road. Max kept quiet, she was getting more afraid of Billy. Maddy was ready to stop this feud right now. She moved into the middle seat, her hand touching Max's arm.

"SAY IT!" He turned his body fully to Max, shouting in her face. Maddy flinched. He turns back into the seat and pressed on the gas. Speeding up the car, he turns his music up and binging on the wheel. Max saw Dustin, Lucas and Mike on the same road on their bikes. Max turned back to look at Maddy before  she turned back, she could not go warn the boys.

"Billy, slow down." Max fretted.

"Oh, these your new hick friends?"

"No! I don't know them." She shook her head, looking out the car.

Maddy pops through the middle, trying to pull Billy's hand away to get his attention. He swung back, Maddy's back hits the leather seat. The air going out of her lungs. "Then I guess you won't care if I hit 'em, then?" He turned his head, "I'll get bonus points if I hit them all in one go?"

Billy had a wicked smile on his face. Max begs for him to slow down afraid of his power right now. "No, Billy, stop. It's not funny."  Max turned in her seat, a look of desperation on her face. He stared back at her and speeds up faster.

Billy revs the car, hitting the wheel as he full blasts the gas pedal. Maddy reaches over and held Max to pull his hand away from the steering wheel. Her back throbbing from the swing.

"Oh fuck, Billy slow down!" He does not hear her over the music, "For gods sake Billy, SLOW THE FUCK DOWN!" He speeds up, Max panics. He got close to the boys. Maddy sees out the window and saw that Dustin fell over his bike.

"Yeah! That was a close one, huh?" Billy whoops, Maddy lashed out on him.

"Are you out of your mind?" Maddy hits his shoulder, "Max's in the car, you could've killed us all, including those boys!" Maddy shouts, he continues driving. She continues rambling on.

When they reached home, Billy got out of the car. Max rushes all the way to her room. Maddy stops him at the living room. She pushed his chest and he pushed back. They argued loudly, Max peeking from her room door.

"You're crazy, why would you do that? All because she defied you?" Maddy asked, pushing his chest more. Billy shouts. He swings his hand, hitting her cheek with his rings. There were going to be marks. "You know why we're all here, you know." She held her cheek, tears forming up.

"Yeah! Just run away, Cinderella." He shouts while she heads for her room. She slams the door and slides her back against the door. She sobs softly, hoping that Max does not hear. But Max knocks on her door. Maddy opens it.

"Hi." Max looked at her sister who was on the floor with red eyes and tears. Maddy lets her in and Max sits beside her, pulling her leg up to her chest. "What did he do?"

Maddy pushed her hair behind her ear and she turned her face. There were red marks on her cheek, Max's hands brushed against her sister's cheek. She was furious.

"That's it. I'm going to kill him." Max stands up, Maddy gripped her hand. Shaking her head.

Maddy sighs, her hand going up to her cheek. "Don't, just leave it. You know how he gets." Max groans, wanting to do something about Billy's abuse. She sits back down beside Maddy. Her head leans down on Maddy's shoulder. Maddy's hand brushed her sister's hair.

"Just a while longer. I'll get a job, work weekends, save up to go back to Cali. I know you don't like it here, I'll try to find a job by this weekend.." Maddy rambles on and on about getting out of Hawkins and back to California with her sister.

"Maddy, Maddy, it's fine. I actually like it..here." Max admitted. Maddy raised an eyebrow. Her sister was enjoying Hawkins? That's a good thing that she was making friends. "I got invited to go trick-or-treating with some boys who has been stalking me." Max rolled her eyes.

"Stalking you, what?" Maddy's widened. Who in the hell was stalking her sister? She turned all serious to her sister, "No, not like that!" Max chuckled nervously. "They're dorks, one kid's name is Dustin."

Max laughed, mentioning the curly haired boy who went up to her just now at school. "Oh, I know him, I'm friends with his sister." Maddy sighs of relief when she heard Max saying Dustin's name. Jules's little brother.

Max rests her head back on her sister's shoulder. Maddy always think that she needs to keep her sister safe, especially with the creeps at home. At times like this, she felt secured. When Max was with her, just the two of them.

"I love you, you know that?" Maddy reassured her sister. Max nodded, brushing her hair out of her face. "You can always come to me for anything." Maddy sighs.

"We have to get ready for trick-or-treating, if you're late there might not be anymore full size candy bars anymore." Maddy told Max. Her head immediately shot up. Max chose to go as Michael Myers from Halloween. The younger sister stood up and rushed to her room where she had her costume behind her door.

Maddy closed her door after Max left. She pushed her closet door and took out the costume. She brushed off the dress and locks her door. Maddy changes into her costume before sitting down at her vanity. She starts on her hair, curling it to give that soft Daphne hair look. She used the big curlers to make it a more natural look. While those curls set in, she pulled her makeup bag out and does her makeup. She does a more natural look also trying to cover the mark from the ring.

After her makeup, she sets her face with her matte powder. She looks in the mirror while she unrolls the curlers, she brush it out and it looked like the soft curls she wanted. She takes the iconic purple headband and the green scarf. She takes the purple pumps and stockings that were on her bed. She puts on the stockings before sliding into the pumps.

Maddy unlocks her door and her stepfather walking past, he stops in front of her. Neil smirks and touches her hair. "You're beautiful, darling." He winks, Maddy gulps. She looks away and he cupped her cheek. "Don't stay out too late and no bringing boys home."

Neil continues walking but he stopped in his tracks, he turned around. "I can't fight everyone who wants my daughter." She shudders in disgust. She shuts her door and sprays some perfume. She brushes her hair with her hands.

"It's fine, you're okay. Don't let it ruin the night." Maddy sighs, finally taking a deep breath before opening the door. She walks out and Max scared her. It was like her heart was gong to spill out of her chest.

Maddy brought a hand up to her chest and sighs, Max laughing badly at her sister. "Do not ever do that again." Maddy smiles, her heart still racing. "Happy Halloween!" Max said with the biggest grin on her face.

part two collection

A car trip up the mountain with a few friends for the weekend was not a bad plan after a whole week of studying and cramming for pre-O.W.L.S. The group could really use the relaxation time.

Being stuck in the car for hours in a overpacked car and squished by bags was the hard part. You could handle the hard part if you kept on reminding yourself that there is a cabin up in the mountain that is calling out your name. But when your assigned seat got taken up by the amount of duffel bags, that is a problem. Well, problems can be fixed with solutions but not for your case.

You stood near the second car, eyeing the mountains as the guys tried to play tetris with the bags so that they could make everyone fit in the car.

"There's too many bags, I told you we shouldn't have brought Pansy." Draco joked, earning a hit on the shoulder from her. He winced and apologised. He pushed the bags more into the car, trying to make space for you. He groaned.

Mattheo, who had been mostly quiet and leaning against the first car, straightened when he noticed what you noticed. There was only going to be one more empty seat in the second car. The first car was filled with Tom, Pansy, Theo and Astoria and bags too so there was no way anyone could fit in that car which is going to probably smell of weed and body odour during the whole ride.

The second car was a tad bigger but still the same problem. Draco clapped once. A huge proud smile plastered on his lips. "Easy," He said proudly. "You can just sit on Mattheo's lap."

Your cheeks turned a light shade of pink and your stomach felt warm. On his lap? Mattheo's lap? She furrowed her brows, her eyes switching between him and Draco. 'It cannot the only way.' she thought.

"What? I don't think—" You get cut off by Mattheo, himself.

"What? No, I'm not letting her sit on my lap during the drive." Mattheo had his arms crossed. "Can't we just leave her here?" His voice sharp like he was the one who was going to be sitting on someone's lap.

"Oh, I'm sure you'll like that, won't you?" You sneered back at him. Earning an eye roll from him. He acts like you are insufferable. His brother butts in from the other car. Door still opened.

A half-finished cigarette hanging in his mouth, "Oh, you'll both survive. It's a two hour drive up." He throws the cigarette butt down on the ground and stepped on it to extinguish it. "Besides, she is not that heavy." He mentioned.

You tilted your head in confusion a little to that last part.

Mattheo scoffed, “You’re not the one that’s going to have her on your lap.” You realised what it meant. You kicked the gravel on the floor in embarrassment.

"Then it's settled then. We have places to be, everyone in." Draco dusted his hands like he did a good job with the seating arrangements.

Mattheo huffed and slides into his seat. Tongue poking his cheek and arms folded. With a reluctant breath, you climbed in and settled awkwardly on his lap. "Fuck me." Mattheo muttered under his breath. You looked down, wondering if he meant that you were heavy or something.

You tightened your core strength so that your whole body weight would not be totally on him. You shook slightly while trying to hover above his lap. Mattheo groans, pulling your waist down. Making you flush against him. You let out a rare sound.

“I can still feel you trying to balance. I’d rather you sit properly than be all shaky and make it worse for me than it already is.” He added. Your back straightened up.

All of your friends could tell that you and Mattheo did not get along well. He would always shoot stares at you when she talks to people, giving the most unwanted attention. He would disagree and insult your opinions when you guys were in a group setting. Now you were here, on his lap in a packed car going up to Theo's family cabin in the mountains.

Your skirt kinds of rode up your thighs. You move your hips up but gravity kept pulling you down every time you did. Mattheo lets a strained sound out softly. You managed to keep your skirt covering half your thighs. You picked at your black lace tights, awkwardly. Your arms folded, not knowing where to put them.

You leaned forward, resting your head on the headrest of the seat infront of you. You could not lean back against Mattheo. He was looking out the window while you shut your eyes.

After a quick break at a rest stop, Draco got into the driver's seat and started the car again.

They were going to Theo's family cabin for the weekend. A weekend of drinking, getting high and making bad choices. Draco drived up the rocky road, making the car bump up and down. "Fuck." You muttered. Your hand held Mattheo's thigh to steady yourself.

"Drive a little slower would ya, Malfoy." You suggested. He apologise but the bumps did not stop. You swore you felt Mattheo stiffening against your ass. His bulge hits her core and you could not help but whimper.

The car jostled again, another brutal bump sending you lurching forward and your hand landed squarely on his thigh again, fingers pressing into the muscle through his jeans. You could feel him tense beneath you, a coiled spring. His hands, still stubbornly at his sides, flexed slightly.

"Try not gripping my goddamn leg like it's a fucking life raft," Mattheo muttered, his middle finger and thumb were rubbing circles on each sides of his temple.

You took your hand off him and held on to the seat in front of you, again. Bending forward. You dreaded how long this was going to take.

Mattheo looked out the window, trying not to focus on your ass on his hardening cock. He kept his groan in his throat. When you bent forward to rest your head against the front seat, he felt himself twitch in his jeans. He cursed himself internally and prayed hard that he does not cream his pants right here.

You feel your eyes getting heavy and you straightened up to refrain from falling asleep because if you did, you would be falling asleep on Mattheo and you did not want. Your head bobs as you felt your eyes shutting. You leaned back and going straight into your precious sleep on Mattheo's chest. He sighed.

Draco looks at the rear mirror, seeing you sleeping on Mattheo's chest and he smirked.

"Comfy there, Riddle?" He asked teasingly. Mattheo fought the urge to growl at Draco's teases.

"She's exactly above my dick." He complained. Draco snickered and shook his head.

“Enjoy it, you know how she is when it comes to guys. No bloke has ever had a chance to shag her since Diggory.” Draco reminded. His hand clenched when he thought about Cedric.

The fact that he was the only guy who managed to shag you. He never told anyone that or showed that he even cared about that but he did.

All Mattheo could think about was the way she smelled like vanilla and strawberries, intoxicating him. His hand brushed against you thigh and you stirred, shivering a little as the both of you were right under the air conditioning.

The way your breathing slowed when you fell back onto his chest. Your hand gripping his sweater’s sleeve like you were going to be taken away if you did not hold onto something.

Something he would not forget or even try to is the way you nuzzled your head into the crook of his neck. He felt your soft lips against his skin. It felt like something that was so forbidden. Since you were asleep, he decided to keep all of these to himself to save you from the embarrassment.

After that whole two hour ride up to the cabin, the car made a heavy break and you jolted awake. You gripped Mattheo’s chest, still heavy eyed and tired. You look around and remembered that the lap you were on did belong to someone who despises you. You take your hand off him and clear your throat.

“Welcome to the best weekend of your lives.” Theo smirked, opening his passenger seat door without looking away from the two in the back seat. You blinked. Trying to regain your consciousness.

Mattheo made a sound. You turn to face him.

“What’re you waiting for? An invitation to get off my lap?” Mattheo sharply said. You pulled the door handle and got off his lap. You stretched widely, hips bending to the side and shooting your arms straight out with a loud yawn. It was almost sunset when you arrived.

You looked over your shoulder, seeing a log cabin. Pretty cozy. Theo was already at the door, fishing through his bag for the key while Blaise, Tom and Draco unloads everything from the car. The two other girls besides you were on the porch swing. Astoria with her head on Pansy’s shoulder, eyes shut too.

Theo manages to unlock the door and he pushes the door too hard making the girls on the porch swing flinch. He rubbed the back of his neck with an awkward, apologetic smile.

“Whoops..” He chuckled awkwardly.

You shake your head and went in the direction towards the house after getting a headache from the smell of the gasoline outside. The three girls went in with Theo first. Eyeing everything that is in the cabin.

“Girls, your room is up the stairs to your left. Two beds so one of ‘ya would be lucky.” Theo mentioned. The three girls stared at each other before rushing to the stairs. They raced up and you manage to reach the door first.

You jump of joy outside the door. “I call sleeping alone!”

Pansy and Astoria groaned. You twist the door knob and pushed it in. The room smelled of wood, candles and basically anything that screamed camping.

You sat on the bed, removing your shoes. Girls night in this room is going to be so wicked. Theo and Blaise knocked on the door, Pansy opens it and saw that the two boys had brought up all of the girls bags.

"Thank you, kind sir." You joked. The girls threw their bags onto the bed and unzipped them to find something more comfortable to change into.

Everyone made it downstairs and you were upstairs alone. Taking some things out of your bag. Someone knocked on the door, Theo. You smile. Saying hi to him.

“How was the ride up? I know you weren’t really in the best position.” Theo nudged her shoulder with a smirk. She rolled her eyes at him and hits his chest playfully.

“Shut up, I kind of fell asleep on him. I don’t really wanna know what happened when I was passed out.”

Theo chuckled, pulling you out of the room and downstairs outside to the campfire where everyone else was already at. You sat beside the girls and Theo was on your side with his arm around you.

Mattheo was already throwing daggers with his eyes at you. You could not tell if it was because you sleeping on him or just your presence here. They all sat in their own conversations till Pansy suggested playing games.

“Spin the bottle anyone?” She raised an eyebrow.

“Okay but if it lands on you, I’m not kissing you.” Draco warns her. He jokes. Pansy mocks him and placed the bottle in the middle of the group. Pansy spins the bottle first and it lands on Blaise. She goes to him and he had a smirk on his face. They kissed and it was back to the game.

Pansy nudges your shoulder, signalling that it was her turn. You spin the bottle and lands on Theo who recently moved beside Draco. Shit. You thought.

“Come here.” He smirked.

You looked beside him, it was Mattheo.

You went across to Theo and kissed him. It felt wrong to kiss him but there was no reason. Maybe it was the way that Mattheo was giving the looks. But it’s Mattheo, a guy who despises your guts.

Theo’s hand snakes to your waist, pulling you deeper into the kiss. Draco stops the kiss and he pulls you off Theo. “Alright, snog at your own time.” He said.

Your lips were bruised, wet and sore.

A few turns went, it was your turn again.

You spin the bottle and this time it lands on Mattheo.

“I can spin again—” You tried your best to avoid this situation but the universe was not on your side. You were cut off by Draco.

“You can’t go against the bottle.” Draco smirked.

Mattheo had his eyes on you already. He puts out his cigarette and flicks it behind him. Letting the smoke out of his mouth that had a healing cut on it. “Do you not want to kiss me?”

He tilts his head. You try to get a word out. He stood up and sauntered to you. He nods as a signal for Pansy to scoot over. He sat beside her. Chewing on the inside of his cheek. He pulled your hand and gently guides you onto his lap. Your breath hitched as you sat on his lap.

“This isn’t an unfamiliar situation, love.” Mattheo wiped your lips with his thumb. You were slightly confused on why but you got your answer.

“I don’t want to taste him, I wanna taste you.”

“What do you mean?”

“Theo got a chance to kiss your lips.”

“Jealous, Riddle?”

previous next chapter masterlist

The light hits her eyes through her curtains. It was morning already, the bed was surprisingly very comfortable. Maddy pushed her self up from the bed and hitting the alarm as it pollutes her room. She stretches, pulling her arms over her head and up. Cracking her neck. She pulls off the sheets from over her legs. She drags herself to the bathroom to get ready for her first day at a new school. Maddy turned the shower on to get the hot water running. 

She looks herself in the mirror and splashed her face with water. She grabs her toothbrush, squeezing mint fresh toothpaste onto it before running it under water briefly. She brushes her teeth and spits out the toothpaste, gargling water after. 

Her clothes drop to the floor as she steps into the shower, the hot water hitting her skin after a cold night. She was getting used to the new seasons in Hawkins unlike California which was always sunny where she lived. She dips her head under the running water, her orange hair soaked. She stayed underwater for a moment before pulling her head out, reaching her hand out to her shampoo bottle. 

After showering, she stepped out and went back to the sink. She wiped the steam covered mirror, water droplets dripping when she did. She checks herself before going out of the bathroom. She hugs her towel tight as she walks out. 

Maddy quickly locked her door afterwards. She pulled out her drawer, picking her clothes and everything for the day. She wore black tights under shorts, a belt looped and a grey jacket over a red long sleeved shirt. She looked like she came out of a video game. She fixed her choker before going out of her room to wake her little sister up. 

"Max, time to wake up." Maddy softly shook her sister's shoulder, Max looked very comfortable under her sheets. All curled up, hugging this one bear that she swears she is not attached to. 

Maddy shook her a little harder, "Max, c'mon don't do this. I have to make breakfast." She tapped her sister's shoulder. Max groans, stretching awake. She hated mornings. Even in California, she would get detention almost once a week for late coming. But she needed to change this time. First impressions matter. 

Max dragged herself out of bed and into the bathroom. Maddy makes her bed for her while her sister was in the shower. She walked out to the kitchen to start on breakfast for her siblings. Pulling out a pan from the cabinet, opening the fridge for eggs and bacon. She toasted some bread too. Max came out all dressed with a towel around her shoulders, sitting down at one of the stools at the island. She takes a piece of bacon from the plate. 

"Here, eat up." Maddy placed a plate in front of Max. She pokes the eggs and started munching on her breakfast. "Where's Billy?" 

Maddy asked, scooping the last bits of egg onto a plate for Billy. She placed toasts on his and her plate too. "You want one?" She turns, a piece of toast in her hand. Max shook her head. She never wants the plain stuff. "Too bad, have some." She breaks the bread in half and puts it on Max's plate which earned her a groan. 

Billy comes out in white turtleneck, a chain around his neck and jeans. She looked at him before shaking her head. He sits beside Max. Maddy placed the plate in front of Billy. Not even a smidge of gratefulness for the meal. She rolled her eyes and took her own plate. She leans on the counter, eating her food.

After breakfast, Maddy took the plates to wash it. "Max, make sure you have everything!"  She heard Billy shouting from the door, he was having a cigarette. In the early morning. 'I don't want to turn the car around because one of you forgot your glitter pens or doodads." She rolls her eyes as she takes the sponge. 

"You too, Cinderella." She turned her head towards the door where he was. 

Maddy sneered at him, washing last of the dishes before placing them on the rack. She washed her hands and headed back to her room to take her bag. Max comes out with her skateboard in hand and her bag slung on one shoulder. Gum in her mouth. Billy stopped her at the door.

"You're not bringing that into my car."  He throws his cigarette onto the ground, stepping on it and narrowing his eyes at his little stepsister. Max tried to put it in the back seat of Billy's car. He grips her wrist, making her wince. 

Maddy rushed to the door after taking her own bag, she goes to Billy. Taking his hand off her sister's. "Let go of her. Now." Her eyes darken as she stares at him. "I'll put it with me." She looks away.

"You better." Billy released Max's wrist. 

"Asshole." Max mutters, going into the front passenger seat.

Maddy sighs of irritation, taking Max's skateboard to the back seat with her. What a morning. She thought. Max threw on her headphones, clicking her walkman harshly. Billy drives off with a hand out the window, cigarette in hand. He complains about the small town. Maddy drowns his voice out. 

⋆

Billy pulls into the school's parking lot. "I want you both back here right after school ends or you will be skating home, and you, will be walking home." He reminded the two sisters, pointing at one then the other. Maddy gripped her bag strap. 

"Whatever." She rolled her eyes, walking away from the car. Billy fixed his leather jacket that he was wearing over that turtleneck. She pass by three girls who were checking out Billy. 

The girl in the middle stared at Billy's ass, "Would you check out that ass?" 

"I know." The girl on her left agreed. 

"Just look at it go." The other girl said. Maddy shuddered slightly when she heard those words coming out of those girls mouths. Never ever would she want to hear that again. 

She looks at the sign above the school. Hawkins High School. She takes a deep breath, going straight for the double doors. She pushed one of it and immediately scanned the halls for people.

Everything moved in slow motion when she walked in, it was just in her mind. Eyes were on her, the new kid. Not all eyes but some. Highschoolers could care less about who roam the same halls as them that are not in their circle of friends. She took some time to find the Administration Building, she looks around but there were only rows of lockers going for miles. She bumped into  a girl.

"Shit, I'm so sorry." Maddy goes to help her pick up the things that fell from her bag. The other girl tuck her hair behind her ear before going down to pick her stuff up too. 

The girl shook her head, "Hey it's fine, you're good." She smiles, stuffing her things back into her bag. 

"Cheerleader?" Maddy picked up un-fluffed pompoms from the ground. The other girl nodded, taking the pompoms from Maddy. "Didn't expect a town like Hawkins to have cheerleaders." 

Maddy chuckled. She totally forgot to introduce herself to her new—friend? 

"Where's my manners, I'm Maddy by the way. New here."

"Yeah, I knew I haven't seen you around."

"I'm Jules." Jules smiled at her.  A hand reaching out for a handshake. Maddy accepts it and she shook Jules's hand. 

Maddy tightened her grip on her bag strap, she still needed a guide to the Administration building. She narrowed her eyes with a grin. "Now, would you be willing to show me to the Admin building?" Maddy earned a nod from Jules. They walked together to the building. 

After getting her schedule and classes, she walks into her first class. Mr Simmons had Maddy introduce herself in class. She held her books in her hand, holding it like it was her only lifeline. She cleared her throat. "I'm Maddy, new. Obviously. I have a younger sister and I wish for this to be done." She pursed her lip into a straight line. 

"Is she hot?" A guy from the back of the class asked, his friend giving him a low five. "If you're into middle schoolers, perv." She answered with a sneer. The class filled with 'ooo's and 'ahh's when she spat back.

The teacher lets her off and she goes to an open seat beside her friend in the middle row. Her teacher got back to his teaching. 

At the other side of the main building was Hawkins Middle where her sister was at, the same thing was happpening too. Max was being escorted by the principal to her classroom. The door opens and a teacher named Mr Clarke stops his teaching. 

"Ah, this must be our new student." He turns his head to the door where principal drops Max off in the class. 

"Indeed, it is. All yours." The principal says as he was halfway out of the door. Max wanted to sprint to the chair at the back of the class.

Mr Clarke stops her in front of his teacher's table. "All right. Hold up there. You don't get away that easy." Max retreats to the side of the table, bag strap in one hand and the other hand in her jacket pocket. 

"Dustin, drumroll." The teacher points to a kid in the front who was wearing a hat and barely had teeth in the front of his mouth. Dustin shuts his science book and drumrolls for his teacher.

"Class, please welcome, all the way from sunny California," The drumroll building up suspense, Max standing there all ready to get out of a classroom which smells like nerds. "The latest passenger to join us on our curiosity voyage, Maxine." The teacher made spirit fingers to Max's direction. 

"It's Max." She corrected the teacher. 

"Sorry?" 

"It's Max. Nobody calls me Maxine. It's Max." She looked at the teacher and away, not holding any eye contact because of the awkwardness. 

Mr Clarke chuckled nervously, "Well, all aboard, Max." 

She nodded and rushed to the back with her skateboard in hand, she could feel four pairs of eyes following her to her seat. Quite creepy. She slouched in her seat, leg bouncing and everything. Plus those four boys. She wanted to get the hell out of there. 

 Back at Hawkins High, Maddy finally found her class after getting her schedule and locker at the Admin office. She learnt that Jules had brother in Hawkins Middle where Max went. They bonded over having a little sibling. 

The bell finally rang and she walks out with Jules, a classmate was handing out orange flyers to everyone who walked out. Wait, she seemed familiar. That was the girl who was checking Billy out, she narrowed her eyes at the girl and took the flyer from her hand. 

"Tina's Halloween party?" Maddy read out the flyer. Jules nodded. Hugging her books in her arms. They went to Jules's locker which was nearer than Maddy's. "She throws the best ragers and holiday parties, especially Halloween."

Jules stuffed her books in the locker, "You should come. It's a good way to get to know everyone." 

Maddy folded the flyer, pushing it into her pocket. "Sounds like fun, great way to show my costume." She smiled, her dimples showing. 

Maddy heard a surprised yell from across the hall, she sees a girl being picked up by a guy with really great hair. She was mesmerised by the hair more than guy. Jules still organising her locker and did not see what her friend was doing. 

"Jules, who did you say that guy was again?" Maddy asked, not taking her eyes off that guy's hair. Jules furrowed her brows. 

"What guy? I didn't introduced any guy to you." She turned her head in confusion to see what was capturing her attention. "Oh him." Her voice changed. She shuts her locker and leaned against it. 

Jules nodded her head to him, "That guy, is Steve Harrington."

"Popular kid, king of Hawkins High till he started being seen with the Byers's kid to help find Will and apparently still with Nancy Wheeler." She continued.

Maddy furrowed her brows. "Who's Will?"

"Oh, right. Last year he went missing one night and the police sent out a whole search party for him. They couldn't find him at first then the chief found a dead body near the quarry which he thought was Will but it wasn't. They did hold a funeral at first, thinking it was Will. Some freaky shit. I don't know. All I know now is that he's back and people are saying he came back from the dead." Jules explained. "Can't say much though." She shrugged. 

Maddy blinked. "Wait, how do you know all this?" She whispered, thinking it was some kind of secret that is not supposed to be said out in public. 

"Will is Dustin's friend. Like they play D&D at the Wheelers every weekend." Jules told Maddy. Maddy nods, trying to process this  new information.

"Wait so this Nancy is Mike's sister?" Maddy asked, Jules nodded. 

"Yep. We were close last year. Her, me and two other girls. Barb and Opie. I mean, Ophelia. We call her Opie." Jules looked a little sad when she mentioned this Barb and Ophelia girls. Maddy furrowed her eyebrows.

She could not keep her eyes from glancing at Steve and Nancy, "What happened to you guys?" 

Jules sighed. "Nancy and Barb were best friends. They did everything together, so did me and Opie. But ever since Nance started dating Steve, she sorta got distant from the group."

Jules looked down at her feet. "I heard that Barb followed her to a get-together at Steve's house and got lost in the woods nearby like Will. Department of Energy said Barb's death is a result of a chemical leak from the lab, saying she died from asphyxiation which sounds like a whole lotta bull crap to me." 

Maddy felt bad for Jules, she reached her hand out to Jules's shoulder. A act of comfort for her new friend. Jules wiped away non existent tears on her cheek. Maddy pulled Jules into a hug. She pulled away. "I'm so sorry you had to go through all that." 

Jules let out a lopsided smile, Maddy raised an eyebrow. "How 'bout you tell me how disgusting the cafeteria food is here. C'mon, let's go to lunch." She takes Jules by the arm and walked like she knew the way to the cafeteria. 

⋆

The last school bell rang, it was a good first day. She walked along side Jules. She held her bag strap in one hand. They decided to hang out while waiting for their little siblings to be finished with their school. They sat at a table, talking about the people and the cliques in the school. 

Maddy wanted to know something. "Hey, can I ask?" 

Jules nodded. 

"Are you and Ophelia still friends or did she y'know," Maddy tucked her hair behind her ear. "Left you for Nancy?" She assumed. Jules shook her head, chuckling. 

"Opie and I are still friends. She's just not here right now because she is sick or so she says. Oh and by the way, Ophelia and Nancy are sisters so they don't really see eye to eye." 

"Ah," Maddy nodded. "Could you tell me more about Steve?" 

Jules narrowed her eyes with a smile. They talked about Steve but Maddy felt like Jules was keeping some details secret. Like she only mentioned Nancy and Steve's relationship, Steve's popularity and that he had better hair than the most girls in school. 

After hour or so, the middle school's bell rings. Max walks out of the class, so ready to just head home. She takes her skateboard, going over school property. She sees those four boys staring at her from a far so she stops skating there. She goes back into the school, throwing a piece of paper in the trash knowing those creeps would find it. 

Her note read : "Stop spying on me CREEPS!"

They met together in the front, going to Billy's car. The drive home was silent, Billy tapping his fingers to the song on his radio. When they got home, Maddy headed straight to her room. She changed out of her clothes into something more comfier. She heard shouting while she was resting in her room. 

She rushed out of her door to see Billy and Max. "Hey, hey, hey!" She stops in between the both of them, "What the hell is going on?" She looked sternly at the both of them. 

"I want to go to the arcade but William here does not want to take me!" She took a shot at Billy by using his real name, he tries to grab Max's shirt. 

"Enough!" She pushed Billy's chest. He was so dead if he tries to put hands on her sister again. He shrug her hands off harshly. "Take her to the arcade. I don't care which girl wants to hang out with you, you take her to the arcade." 

"If you're so caught up about letting Max go to the arcade, bring her yourself!" He spat back. She grips his shirt. 

Maddy grits her teeth, "I don't see you having to cook dinner and clean up the house right now, do I? Take her now." She lets go of his shirt. 

"Fine, Cinderella." His eyes darkened, he goes out the door and Max looked worried. 

Maddy placed a hand on her shoulder, "Go play. Tell me if he put his hands on you, you hear?" Max nodded. Billy shouts for Max to hurry up, she rushes into the car. Maddy watches them until the car drives off. She shuts the door. 

"Gosh, every single time." She sighs, walking back to her room to have some alone time before she had to cook dinner for the whole family.

  Maddy moves her head to the music playing on her walkman. Heart of Glass by Blondie. It has been at least two days that she was cooped up in a family car, switching seats, staying in dirty motels and the cramped space inside. It was setting the mood as her stepfather pulls into the driveway of their new home. 4819 Cherry Lane. Max had fallen asleep on the drive down to Hawkins. The car halts to a stop and Billy got out of the car first. Finally space to breathe. Maddy thought to herself. It was spacious after Billy went out. She stretched her legs before tapping her little sister's shoulder softly.

"Max, Max wake up. We've reached." Max shrugged her sister's touch away, she tries one more time before Max woke up all groggy. She was not going to let the little grump spoil her moving day. Maddy slides out of the backseat and grabbed her bag, slinging it over her shoulder before going to the trunk to help take some boxes out. A hand grazed against hers making her flinch, she looked up at her stepfather. She pulled her hand towards her.

He smiled, a shiver went down her back. Neil carried one of the boxes, "Can't wait to see the new room?" He chatted. Maddy nodded, shifting uncomfortably. Her posture tensing up when he got close.

"Give me a smile," Neil asked. She looked reluctant and his face dropped too. Her heart beats faster. "I work hard for us to move and you can't even give me a smile? Don't be ungrateful."

Her hands shook at her side, her lips turned up into a lopsided smile. "There it is."

His finger brushed against her chin for a second, her lip quivered.  "You're going to have boys falling for you with that smile, you know that?" He walks away and she stood there, all tensed and uncomfortable.

Maddy closed her eyes before letting out a shaky breath. She felt his touch burning her chin. She brought her hand up to her chin and swiped the part he touched. Her headphones resting abandoned on her collarbones. The hair on her arms standing. 

"Hey, you alright?" A voice made her jolt. Maddy nodded seeing Max standing behind her.

"Just peachy." She managed to let out. She picked up a box and walked to the direction of the new house. 

She pushed the door, seeing their new house. It was smaller than the old house but she can make it work. Her eyes wander the living room before turning to the hallway, her room was opposite Max's while Billy's was at the end of the hall. She sets her box down and her bag. A blank canvas for her to decorate and paint. 

New room, new environment. No memories of the ugly past. 

All Maddy could do was hope. No more sleeping on the floor because the bed feels too disgusting to be slept in even when the sheets were changed. Max stops in front of her door, asking Maddy to follow her to her room. She nodded, following her little sister from the back. She looks so happy to have a new room. Max started rambling on and on about where she wanted things to go. She smiles widely at Max's rare chirpyness. She liked it when she was happy, there was nothing else Maddy wanted than to see her little sister happy.

"Okay, it sounds like you're liking the new room!" Maddy chuckled, Max nodded and pushed strands of hair behind her ear before going to open her boxes to start unpacking. Maddy went out of the room, retreating back to hers to unpack too. 

Neil knocked on her door even though it was opened. He brought boxes with her handwriting all over it. He placed it down, grinning at her before heading out of her room.

"Disgusting piece of shit." She murmured while slicing the top of her box open with a letter opener. Her finger got pricked by it, making her wince. Red starts appearing at her fingertips. 

She brought her finger to her lips and sucking lightly on it. "Fucking hell."  Her finger throbbing from the prick.

The metallic taste of blood hits her tongue, she pulled her finger away and lets it be. Max comes by her room with a disappointed look on her face. Maddy's eyebrows furrowed. Max complains about Billy not wanting to take her to an arcade they passed by on the way to the house. 

"I don't know Max, I'm barely done unpacking." Maddy had a conflicted look on her face. 

"Pleasee, I'm done unpacking and it's getting boring now." Max drags herself into Maddy's room, standing in front of her begging to take her to the arcade. Maddy rolled her eyes and placed the letter opener down. She decided that it was time to take a break from unpacking too. 

Maddy got on her feet, walking out the room with Max. She goes over to the kitchen where her mother was. "Hey mom, can I take your car out for a while? Max needs a ride somewhere and my car doesn't arrive till later in the week." 

Her mother gave Maddy the permission. She grabs the keys from the counter and headed out the door. The car beeps with a click of a button. She hops into the drivers seat. Max pulled her seatbelt over herself to be securely strapped in. Maddy twists the ignition and the car starts up. she drives out of the driveway, turning into the street. She clicks on the radio and Upside Down by Diana Ross played. She cranked up the volume and sang along. "How you holding up?"

Maddy turned her head to her sister direction, Max shrugs. She scoffed at her nonchalant answer, "I'm seriously asking, do you like Hawkins?" She looks down to see Max fingers tapping against her knee to the beat of the song.

"It's fine I guess, mom said I start school tomorrow. Nerve wracking actually." Max finally opens up again, Maddy turned the music down softer. Her sister was nervous about starting in a new school. In addition, she also starts high school on the same day. Her hand moves to her sister's. She looked at her for a short second.

Maddy smiles, "Perfectly fine to be nervous. Tell you what, when I graduate and saved enough for my own place, I'll take you back to Cali with me. I promise you." She paused for a moment.

"That is if you don't grow attach to the small town life." Her sister's face immediately lit up, mouth open and everything. Max stuck her pinky out which was a rare thing to do. 

She looked her sister dead in the eye, "Promise me you won't leave me behind." 

Maddy hooked her pinky around Max's and nodded, agreeing to bring her back to California again. There was no way Maddy would leave her sister in Hawkins with that good for nothing son of a bitch and his son. She promised herself to not let Neil or Billy get a hold of her little sister even if it means she gets hurt in the long run. She despised her mother for even thinking of marrying that useless guy, that was one thing she would never forgive her mother for.

 After a few more turns, they made it to the arcade. She could finally see the sign of the arcade. Palace Arcade. Weird name but fitting name for the place. She reached into her pocket to fish for some quarters that she could give Max to spend on games. Maddy placed the quarters in her hand and Max opened the car door. "I'll be back to pick you up in an hour or so!' 

Max waved goodbye to her sister, rushing into the arcade probably towards Dig Dug or something. Maddy lets out a sigh before pulling out of the arcade drop off and back home to continue unpacking or maybe start thinking about what Halloween costumes she wanted to make for this year. She was stuck between Strawberry Shortcake or Starfire. 

She pulled up to the driveway and got back into the house, she goes straight to her room. She unpacked her last few boxes. Putting her clothes onto hangers to put into the closet that was built in. After thirty minutes of that, she was on to her last box. Her sheets and pillows. She stared at the box. Her hands holding onto the two flaps. Her hands trembled slightly, hearing her own pleas and crying. She shuts the box immediately, her eyes closed. A tear rolled down her cheek. Stupid, stupid, stupid. 

Maddy takes the box, hauling it out the front door to the trash in front of the house near the mailbox. She never wants to see those sheets again. She pulled out her wallet, checking if she had enough to buy new sheets for her bed. She saw what looks like a Target near the RadioShack. Maddy got ready to go pick up Max. She took the car and drives off to the arcade again. 

"Hey, Max!" Maddy called out. Her sister went into the car. She drives off, heading to town to go run errands at Melvalds. "I have to pick up new sheets and some other stuff. Want to come along or do you want me to drive you back first?' 

She turned to look at her sister, "No, no. It's fine. I can follow." Max nodded.

Max brings up that she made a new high score on Dig Dug. Saying she was 100,000 points above the previous winner. She looked so proud, Maddy knew that the only other thing that keeps her going is her love for video games. Her nickname was MadMax when she goes to the arcade. Seeing something  that her sister was so passionate about made her really happy . 

They reached Melvalds and she parked by the sidewalk. They go through isles and grab what they needed. Max asking Maddy to buy her some things. She allowed it and Max placed it in the basket. Maddy picked out two new sheets, pillow covers and duvet. She heads to the register and paid for the things. 

"Forty-five sixty." The woman at the register read out the total cost. Maddy pulled out her wallet and paid. She glanced at the woman's name tag. 'Joyce'. 

"Thanks." Maddy smiled, taking the bag off the checkout counter. The worker looked very distressed, probably a mother. She swings the bag lightly as they walked back to the car. Maddy threw the bag to the backseat. 

She turned the ignition on. Driving back home to their new house that they would have to called home. Hawkins at night was way quieter, everyone in their houses by the time the sun goes down and probably finishing up dinner. If it were Cali, Maddy would still be out with her friends enjoying the city night life, at the pier eating carnival food or catching late night movies. When nights were tough at home she would drive up alone to Mount Lee for the sight under the HollyWood sign like she was a main lead in a movie. 

Max turned her head to look at her sister who was almost zoning out on the road. She clears her throat, "What's on your mind?" 

Max asked Maddy before looking down to her lap and fidgeting with her fingers. Avoiding eye contact with her because she was not a good conversationalist like her sister. Maddy looks at her, "Hm? You're worried about me?" She smirked, teasing her sister.

The younger one rolled her eyes, scoffing at her sister. "You just look like you have a lot on your mind and I just want to know," 

Max hesitated before bringing this up. "Did he y'know, touch─"

"What no, why would you think that?" Maddy furrowed her eyebrows, shaking her head.

"I just thought it happened again because you've been out of it lately." Max stuttered, regretting the idea of bringing it up.

Maddy scoffed, getting slightly irritated. "Did you ever think that there was another reason for that?" Her sister remained speechless, Maddy sighed and realised that Max just wanted to know why her older sister was so disturbed this past few days. Max sunk into the seat, feeling guilty for that.

"I'm sorry, I get that you're worried." Maddy apologises, "You don't have to be worried about, that." She hesitated. Max nodded slowly, apologising to her sister too. She just shrugs and reached out for her sister's hand. "It's fine, you know I love you Max." 

Max gave her a lopsided smile and squeezed her sister's hand. Maddy pulled into their driveway and parked. She grabbed the bag from the backseat. The air becoming more colder, she shivers when she pulled the car door open. 

"We're back!" Maddy dragged her words, her mother coming to greet them at the door. She glances to the recliner and she sees her stepfather asleep on it, she rolled her eyes. Max rushes to her room, the older one knocked on Max's door. "You forgot your snacks."
