You were new at Hawkins high and just so happened to be invited to 'Tina's Halloween party'. You weren't big on parties but the friend you had made there, that person being Nancy Wheeler, had convinced you to come along with her and her popular (or not so popular anymore) boyfriend, Steve Harrington.

They picked you up on the night of the party, you being dressed as some stereotypical Halloween creature. It was completely packed once you got there and Nancy and Steve immediately went over to grab a cup of punch that was spiked with a whole bunch of alcohol, dragging you along with them and giving you a cup before they went off to do whatever.

It was hard to walk around without being bumped into as the smell of alcohol, smoke and weed could be smelt almost everywhere, making you sick. You decided that maybe stepping outside for some air would be a good decision but it was packed out the back too.

Pushing your way towards there, you could see a bunch of people gathered around in a circle all cheering someone on. You tried to get a closer look and luckily (or unluckily) was pushed to the front, giving you a good view of what was going on.

Everyone happened to be staring at the other new kid, Billy Hargrove, doing a keg stand for an impressive amount of time, obviously trying to impress everyone. He locked eyes with you for a second before you decided to scoot your way through everyone out into the less packed backyard for some air.

After a little while, you were still out there practically regretting even coming here when a shadow towered next to your sitting form, signaling a person was behind you. They cleared their throat as you turned to look up at who it was. It was Billy standing there with his arms crossed and a cocky look on his face, a cigarette between his lips.

"Other new kid, right? Saw you watchin' me. Were you impressed? Beat 'King Steve's' record." He barked, looking quite smug as he took a puff from his cigarette. Why was he talking to you of all people?
