TUESDAY MORNING, ADDIE AND WILL RODE TO SCHOOL WITH JONATHAN. The night before, Steve had called to say he wouldn't be able to pick them up.Addie then immediately asked Jonathan for a ride because as luck would have it, their moms car was in the shop and it wasn't due to be ready until Wednesday morning.
Her brother normally left for school really early, but Addie managed to convince him that half an hour was plenty of time. Still, she had a feeling that he was going to want to leave earlier than the agreed upon time, so on Tuesday morning she got ready quickly.

Just as she predicted, he wanted to leave way before the time he agreed to, so the Byers siblings all got to school nearly half an hour before the warning bell was even supposed to ring. Oddly enough, Billy got to school early that morning too.
As Billy got out of his car, Addie approached him. When he saw her walking towards him, he got that feeling again. It was strange to him, that he felt it so often these days.
Happiness.
He picked her up and spun her around, pulling her in for a long kiss when he finally set her down.
"I am definitely not complaining," Addie smiled, her cheeks a little red from the heat of the moment, "but what was that for?"
