when Nancy Wheeler stomped up to Billy, demanding he deliver a letter to ‘King Steve Harrington’ for her, he’d laughed in her face.

“What?! Why me?!” it was more a demand than a question, and albeit less aggressive than he would’ve wanted.

the school year ended already. Billy hadn’t even seen Steve since his apparent graduation.

….other than at the quarry from time to time.
