King Steve was just another rung in the social ladder. Billy had climbed it before, swiftly and easily. He knew who to talk to and what to do to make it so that he was on top. Only, Hawkins isn't shaping up to be anything like the previous places he'd lived. Steve Harrington was hiding something and it sounded like the government was involved. Not to mention the weird group of people he'd somehow fallen into cahoots with. He hadn't planned for any of this, least of all wide bambi eyes that seemed to see stright through his walls. OR: I gave Billy real friends because I can and he's not sure what he's supposed to do with that or the fact that the cute boy he's supposed to be socially usurping is covering up multiple deaths.
