Silence - Billy Hargrove

Keg King

Adira watched as her brother walked off after Nancy towards the kitchen. Billy and the other boys turned around, noticing Adira behind them. Billy smirked, whilst the rest of them grinned. "Well well, looky what we have here," Billy said with a grin, taking a step towards her, "Adira Harrington."

Adira took a step back, "sorry but could you guys please move over? We're trying to get through," she said to them, tilting her head to gesture to the hallway that they were pretty much blocking  

A few of the boys quickly nodded her head, apologising to the girl and moving out of the way, "sorry Addy," they told her, but Billy just stood there, his smirk growing. "How about you let me get you a drink?" He asked her

"Sorry, but I don't take drinks from strangers," she replied with a small shrug, grabbing onto Chrissy's hand and walking past Billy who's grin only grew as he watched her walk off. "Come on Harrington! How about a keg contest? Don't you wanna try and defend your brother's honour?" Billy called out to her  

Adira stopped walking, turning to look at him, "he doesn't need me to defend his honour, he can beat you next time he tries it," she says with a small shrug, but it was clear that she was slightly annoyed

Billy just shrugged, "I doubt that, King Steve seems to have lost his touch huh? That's what everyone else is saying anyways, I'm tryna find out about this great 'King Steve' that everyone's telling me about, but I gotta say, I'm pretty disappointed," he grinned

"And that's my problem, why?" Adira asked, rolling her eyes

Billy clicked his tongue on the roof of his mouth, "its just... everywhere I go, it's all 'Harrington this' and 'Harrington that' I guess I was just wondering why people speak so highly of you both..."

Adira just rolled her eyes and went to leave again, but of course, Billy had to speak up again

"You must be pretty embarrassed to be related to him, I know I would be."

Adira's left eye twitched a little as she took a step towards him. Chrissy grabbed her arm, "Adira lets just go. I shouldn't have dragged you in here, c'mon, he isn't worth it," Chrissy said to her

But Adira Harrington had already made her mind up, and once that happened, there was no stopping her. "Fine, lets go," she said firmly, surprising everyone around them.

"Ads, come on, youre seriously a lightweight and he just got the record, this is stupid," Chrissy muttered in her ear, looking down at her in worry, "You've already drunk past your limit, it just hasnt hit you yet. This really isnt a good idea."

"Alright sweetheart, lets go then," Billy smirked widely, the crowd around them began to cheer loudly as the two of them walked out to the backyard, making their way back over to the kegs. Adira tried to hide the nervous feeling bubbling in her stomach

"Oh shit on a stick," she mumbled under her breath and they both stood behind a keg. Chrissy was looking at Adira in worry. Adira was literally tiny, her body could not handle alcohol in the slightest and she was already on the verge of being drunk from the alcohol she had consumed from beer pong

"Ready sweetheart?" Billy asked her with a smirk, placing his hands down on the keg in front of him. The crowd around the kegs seemed to grow quickly. As soon as word came out that Adira Harrington, Hawkins Queen, was versing the new kid, Billy Hargrove, teens packed out to the back.

"You know uh... I think I left the oven on," she said, her hand coming up to her shoulder as she pointed behind her, gesturing that it was time for her to leave. Billy only seemed to grin wider at his words, shaking his head in amusement as he sent her a wink
