Steve Harrington, the man who was able to change and understand that his environment is not the best for him. Well, it so happened that he somehow made friends with a 13-year-old boy from Dustin Henderson, and later became almost a "nanny" for Dustin's friends. Steve begins to become a really good person. But because of the breakup with Nancy, thanks to which the changes in Steve occurred, he swore not to fall in love with someone for at least the next month. After all, he tried to get the relationship back for a couple of weeks, but even. In his heart, he was disappointed, the girl left, popularity began to decline because of the narcissistic and pompous idiot Billy Hargrove, discord with his parents because of the pool party in which Nancy's friend "Barbara" disappeared.

So Steve, he decided to have a little evening of relaxation and a movie, while his parents were away on their ridiculous business, he bought a couple of movie tapes, and the last thing he had to do was go to the store for snacks, which he did. He went to this store very often, so he knew all the employees and even sometimes saw the director of the store. Today everything should have been as usual, he went into the store in his leather bomber jacket, since it was October at the height of autumn, and yesterdaySo Steve, he decided to have a little evening of relaxation and a movie, while his parents were away on their ridiculous business, he bought a couple of movie tapes, and the last thing he had to do was go to the store for snacks, which he did.

Today everything should have been as usual, he went into the store in his leather bomber jacket, Since it was October and the height of autumn, and it was cool in the evenings. When he entered the store, he saw a girl standing behind the counter, leafing through some weekly magazine, and chewing gum, which she periodically inflated into a bubble, she did not even look up at him, and Steve was not particularly interested either. He quickly picked up popcorn, chocolate, and all sorts of snacks in the basket, and only then, approaching the cash register, Steve noticed that he hadn't seen this girl before, and she certainly hadn't worked here before, he was looking at her a little. He saw that she was very engrossed in her magazine and didn't even look at the client, which caused Steve to clear his throat and say*

"I'm sorry, of course, but I'm standing here waiting until I can pay for my purchases" - he began to lay out the purchases from the basket on the counter, it seemed to him that she was either too passionate about something, or deliberately did not pay attention
