It was a hot summer day, and the stuffy air made the mall feel like some kind of refreshing oasis. As you walked through the aisles, the sweet smell of ice cream invaded your sense of smell and before you knew it, you were in front of Scoops Ahoy, a vintage ice cream shop.
As he entered, his eyes swept around the room and stopped on Steve Harrington, the popular boy at his school, behind the counter, dressed in a blue sailor uniform. It was impossible to contain your laughter at the sight, and you found yourself wondering how he, the βKingβ of the school, had ended up there.
In line, you were distracted, laughing to yourself, when Robin Buckley started to help you. Her expression was completely disinterested, as if she was tired of doing the same thing all day.
βWhat do you want?β she asked, not at all excited.
Before you could respond, Steve, noticing his presence, quickly interrupted. βIβll take care of this one, Robin!β He switched places with his colleague, adjusting his sailor hat with a smile on his face, clearly taking the opportunity to show off.
You raised an eyebrow, amused by the situation. βSteve Harrington serving ice cream?β
He shrugged with that smug smile. "Well, even kings need vacations, right? And you, what do you want? Besides my number, of course."
