FAMILIAR ↳ STEVE HARRINGTON

five.

After a long first three periods of the day, Christine had finally made it to lunch, the girls stomach growling as she got in the line for food. Her first period Spanish had went well, Steve and Nancy hugging outside the door while Christine felt the urge to violently throw up watching her cousin have a boyfriend. Then Steve gave Christine a winning smile, leading her into the classroom and showing her where he sat. He let her sit beside him, figuring that he was being nice to Nancy's cousin and therefore earning brownie points from his girlfriend. However, he admitted to himself that he just liked being nice to her anyways  but he decided to keep that one to himself because he didn't want Nancy to know he was so keen on her cousin already. His first impression of her had been good, and he thought the two of them could be good friends.

Second and a third period came and went and they had dragged on and on, Christine not really making any other friends aside from a boy in her Algebra class who told her that he would show her where the lunchroom was. And now here she was, waiting in line for her food, the impending doom of having to find somewhere to sit making her anxious.

She scanned the lunch room for any sign of Nancy, but she found no evidence that she was there or had ever been. She looked for Steve next, but she again came up empty handed, probably due to the fact that Nancy and Steve were together. She internally panicked as she tried to think of somewhere to sit, the girl not wanting to sit alone but not wanting to talk to random people. She looked for the boy from her algebra class, or anyone that looked even remotely friendly, but it just didn't work out. She grabbed her tray, letting out a rough sigh as she settled on sitting by herself.

Christine turned away from the line, her  eyes widening as she stopped in her tracks. She was rather close to Billy, who had appeared behind her when she was turned away. He had a charming smile on, his eyes raking over her before he finally caught hers.

"Hey Billy." Christine said, her eyebrows furrowing in confusion as to why he was standing so close to her. She took a step back but he just took another forwards, making her raise an eyebrow.

"You wanna get outta here?" He asked, surprising her. Christine looked down at the lunch tray in her hands and then back up at Billy, her cheeks burning red as she spit out an answer.

"Yep." She said, watching as Billy gave her  a wide smile, the girl following after him as he started off. She walked behind him like a lost little puppy, dumping her tray in the trash as she passed the trash can and continuing on. She would eat dinner later. Besides she knew she couldn't eat now.

They made their way out of the front doors of the school, Christine catching up to Billy and the man I question giving her a half smirk. He dropped an arm over her shoulder and then pulled his car keys out of his pocket.

"Food here doesn't seem  too appetizing anyways." Billy remarked, opening the door for her and letting her in. He shut it as she got in, looking around the car to see if anybody was watching them before rounding the car and getting in the drivers seat. When he got in, he was met with a questioning look and a voice  asking him what they were gonna do.

"Well I figured since I almost hit you this morning I could buy you some good lunch and call it even. How's that sound?"  There was something so entrancing about him, Christine couldn't quite put her finger on it. Maybe it was just because he was insanely hot. And of course she knew he was bad news...but again he was so hot. She gave him a smile as he started the car, his arm going to the back of her headrest as he pulled out of his spot beside her car.
