"let's go to the wheelers to see if mikes home" I said as we walked to mikes him and Nancy were home but we ran into Steve "Harrington" I said and he looked at me "Henderson and mini Henderson?" Steve asked "Are those for mrs.wheeler?" Dustin asked "Uh no" Steve said "Well Nancy isnt home" Dustin said "Where is she?" Steve asked "Dont know dont care" Dustin said "We're going to my house" i said and Steve looked at me "Why?" He asked "You still owe me"I said and we nodded as we got in his car "You still got that bat?" I asked and Steve looked at me "what bat?" He asked "The one with the nails in it?" I asked and he nodded "Why-" he started but I cut him off by putting my finger on his lips "No questions" I said and took my finger down.I saw Steve blushing "How do you know this things not a lizard?" Steve asked while we were throwing bait "How do I know?"dustin asked "yeah?" Steve said "Because his face opened up and he at my car" Dustin said "Wait mews" I said as I got in front of the 2 boys "yes..." Dustin said "You could've told me your gross pet at my cat" I said alittle hurt as I walked back behind the boys,They started talking about this girl named Max,Dustin likes her "What type is nancy?" Dustin said and I sighed "Nancy she's different a good different"Steve said and I whimpered alittle but quiet enough they couldn't hear me "What about y/n" Dustin asked and I froze "Henderson? I haven't figured her out yet" Steve said and I looked up "If you really wanna know dustin,I'm that depressed girl who hides her emotions from everyone because she has trust issues and seems to be every high school boys crush" I said as I sighed and walked in-front if the boys "Dude! You didn't tell me my sister was every dudes crush" Dustin whispered and I giggled alittle "I didn't think you would wanna know" Steve said "OF COURSE I WOULD WANNA KNOW" Dustin said alittle to Loud,I turned around "Honestly I don't even know myself" I said as I started walking faster so I didn't have to hear them talk about how every boy BUT the boy I like likes me,I started quietly crying as I clenched my fist what is it that he likes about Nancy that he can't like about me! I said as I clenched my fist tighter that I felt something cold hit my hands I unclenched my hands and saw blood everywhere "Shit!" I said "what?" Dustin asked,I let my hands drop behind my sides,I always do this but no one knew,They looked down at my bloody hands "Woah woah woah,What the hell did you do?" Dustin asked and I didn't answer "Hello are you okay?" Dustin and Steve asked "I'm fine!" I snapped as I started walking faster and my hands clenched more as they started to bleed "Y/n stop your making it worse!" Dustin said but I ignored him "Just talk about yalls little girlfriends" I said as I walked over to a grassy hill and sat down with my hands opened and I looked at them,I heard ruffling and I saw max and Lucas "Omg y/n your hands" lucas said as him and max rushed over to me "I can wrap them up if you want?" Max asked and I nodded Lucas went to talk to dustin "I'm y/n"I said "I'm max" she said "I know you,Your like every highschool boys dream girlfriend" she said and I chuckled "Yeah" I said "well all but one" I said as I looked over at Steve "Steve? You like Steve?" She asked and I nodded "I'm shocked he doesn't like you,I mean your really pretty,I wish I looked like you" she said as she stood up and so did i "You know mike wheeler right?" I asked and she nodded "Yes even though he hates me" she said "Well Steve likes mikes sister Nancy wheeler,And I understand why,Nancy's so pretty prettier than I'll ever be" I said and max looked at me "You are so pretty! And I've seen her Nancy wheeler is no where near as pretty as you! and if he can't see that then he's missing out!"she said "Thanks,Friends?"I asked "Best friends" she said as she hugged me,But turns out they boys heard the whole convo,we wear sitting in the bus ,I sat beside Steve,Lucas was up top as look out and max and Dustin sat a whole seat away from each other "Are you sure it wasn't a lizard?" Max asked "Yes I'm sure! Why are you here if you don't believe us!" Dustin said "DUSTIN!" I said "Jeez someone's cranky,Past your bed time?" She asked as she climbed up the latter to sit with Lucas,I looked down at my hands,They were still bleeding,Dustin had moved up to somewhere else while it was just me and Steve "Are you gonna tell me what you did to your hands and why you did it?" Steve asked and I sighed "I do it all the time-" I started "all the time? Y/n why?" He asked "I do it when I'm sad mad or jealous and then past month I've been all of those in 1 day every day for a month" I said "Why?" He asked but then,A few minutes later he decided to sacrifice him self "Steve no" I said as I tried to grab his hand but he just shook it off "Steve stop!" I said but he shook his head and went out the door "STEVE RUN" we all shouted as he ran back to the bus I grabbed him and hugged him as he hugged back I let go and walked over to max,Steve pushed us away as he was about to hit the demo dog they all started to run away,I was petrified so much that I was crying so much that my eyes hurt,Steve came down and let me cry into his chest,I felt safe and felt like he loved me,Until I remembered he was just doing something nice and being a good friend "Come on,Let's go see where the hell those things went too" I said as I my badass side came back and I stepped over everyone's legs,I walked out the bus holding Steve's bat "Why do you have my bat?" Steve asked "Because I can use it better than you" I said and he looked at me "Oh really" he said and I put the bat up "You really wanna test me Harrington?" I asked as I started walking more "And I'm better looking holding it" I said "Is that so?" He asked "I agree with y/n"max said and I giggled the boys stopped and looked at me "Holy shit did you just giggle?" They asked "Maybe,What cha gonna
Do about it?" I asked as i start walking until we heard more of those sounds "What the fuck!" I asked "Uh language" Steve said "Shut the fuck up!" I said as I put the tip of the bat at him "Okay okay sorry sorry" he said "That's what I thought" I said as I started walking toward the noise,we turned around and saw nancy and Jonathan "Steve?!" They both said "Nancy?!" Me and Steve said "Y/n?!" They both said "Yeah it's me bitch" I said as I smiled and Steve looked at me "Look away Steve or I'll hit you with your bat" I said a so pushed his chest "Okay okay" he said as he put his hands up "Good!" I said as I pointed the bat at him "Y/nnnn stop flirting with stevee" lucas said "Lucassss stop flirting with max" I said and he turned bright red "Fuck you" he said but instead of saying anything I flipped him off "Your encouraging him" Nancy said "Bitch please the only person I'm encouraging is me,Now where the hell is mike and will!" I asked "Their not with you?" Jonathan "Yes they are I've been hiding himDO YOU THINK THAT IF I KNEW WHERE THEY WERE I WOULD ASK YOU? NO!"I said as I clutched my fists together "Your doing it again" Steve said and I looked down at my fists "Woah-" Jonathan started "what happened?" Nancy interrupted "I'll tell y'all later" I said as hopper came zooming out with car,Steve pulled me into the car,he sat me in between his legs as Nancy sat in between Jonathan's,Max sat on Lucas' thigh,And Dustin was in the other car,Steve started stroking my hair softly,I turned around and smiled at him,He smiled back,We got to Joyce's and Steve helped me out of hoppers truck "Thank you" I said as I smiled at him,He smiled back,We walked into Joyce's house but before I could go any further "What happened to your hands?"Hopper Joyce and mike asked "Oh uh-" I cut myself off and sighed "I dig my nails into my hands until they bleed" I said and looked down "Why?"mike asked "I only do it when I'm sad mad or jealous" I said and they all looked at me "Well why were you any of those and who or what were you jealous of?" Dustin asked "Okay this is getting deeper than my liking" I said as I sighed and walked over to the couch,I put my head in my hands on my knees,I felt someone over beside me,I looked up and saw Steve,I hugged him right away and started crying in his shoulder I felt safe with him even though he only saw me as a friend "You okay?" He whispered and I nodded "Ok" he said and max looked at me with a smirk,I walked up to her and sat down beside her "Wipe that stupid smirk off your face,you don't know nothing" I said and she looked at me "oh really so you don't like s-" she started "Ahhh shhhh you know something,now shh!" I said and she grinned "That you like s-"she started again "ok listen!
