"Watch the movie for crying out loud." I said to Steve as we watched Star Wars. We were in my living room, the house to ourselves, but Will is in his room.

"Im watching, dont worry." Minutes passed and I heard snoring to my left. I smiled.

"Did you see that?" I said. Steve woke up and looked at the tv.

"Yeah I totally did. It was awesome."

"Really? What happened?" His eyes grew. He coughed and looked at me.

"The blonde guy waved his saver thing." I started to laugh. It wasnt even close, Obi died so, yeah not close at all. "Stop laughing." He hugged my side. We played wrestle on the couch and we got close. Our faces were on a few inches apart. We touched foreheads and were about to kiss. I couldn't. I cant.

"Hey Wendy." Will said he came in. Steve and I got off of each other and sat up.

"Uh Yeah Will?"

"Im kinda hungry." He said.

"How are feeling about pizza tonight?"

"What kind?"

"Dominos?"

"Dominos." He smiled.

"Ill call right now." He ran up to me and hugged me. I went to my bag and pulled out my wallet.

"Here, ill pay." Steve said as he pulled out his wallet.

"No, its fine. Dont worry."

"I wasn't asking." He placed the money in my hands. I playfully rolled my eyes and called. When the pizza came, i was gonna pay for it but Steve came in and paid for it. "Youre a tad bit slow." He smiles.

"Haha." I placed the plates down and called Will. He ate in his room, Steve and I ate in the kitchen. Hours later, Jonathan came home from Nancys, totally forgot to tell you, that they are dating. Good for them. Aunt Joyce came home from work.

"Its getting late." Steve said. I walked him to his car.

"Thanks for coming over." I smiled.

"Totally, had fun."

"Me too." He touched my hand but let go. I put my scrunchie on his wrist.

"Whats this?"

"Friendship bracelet, for your hair, whatever you want it to be." We both smiled. He waved goodbye and drove away. If you're wondering, we're not dating. We're just friends. It kinda hurts to be friends, even though there's something. I crossed my arms as I walked in the house.

A Month Later

It was late, i was just getting ready to go to bed just as I heard a knock on my window. I opened the curtains and saw Steve. I opened the window.

"You know its late right?"

"Lets go for a adventure." He smirks.

"Where?"

"Its a secret." I sighed.

"Give me a second." I went to change. I locked my door and grabbed my shoes. Steve and I ran to his car and drove off. He drove to the woods. "Are you gonna kill me?"

"Why do you ask?"

"Every scary movie always takes place in the woods." I said as we got out of the car. Steve pulls out a blanket and pillows. "It happens." i Saw the spot he picked. You can see Hawkins. I was amazed.

"The stars look nice." We went to set camp. We laid down and looked at the stars. Our fingers touched and we looked at each other. Steve held my hand. "Can I ask you something?"

"Shoot."

"Prom is 2 weeks away, i was wondering if you want to come with me?" I sat up and looked at him. "As friends?" He said like it was a question. My heart dropped. Friends.

"Of course!" I said. Steve sat up. "I would love to go to Prom with you." I smiled when though it hurt.

"Cool." He still held my hand. "Any colors in particular?"

"Uh, blue?" I suggested.

"I like blue." I nodded. We laid back and looked at the stars until dusk. Friends kept repeating in my head.

Day Before Prom

I invited Aunt Joyce to come with me dress shopping. We pick 5 blue dresses and i tried them on. The last one, a deep blue, strapless, puffy at the end, short, a wrinkle affect. It was the one.

"Oh sweetheart you look beautiful in this." I played with my necklace and looked at the mirror. I started to cry. "Hey hey, whats wrong?"

"I wish my parents were here." I sat down. Aunt Joyce sat down with me and hugged me.

"They are. Right now they are looking down and they are extremely proud of you. You changed your life around, you are going to the right path. And now, they are smiling and saying how beautiful you are." I wiped my tears away. I chuckled.

"Really?"

"I can only imagine your father. He'll be over the moon! He would be excited to meet Steve." I gave her a smile. "You remind me so much of him."

"I get that a lot."

"You really do. You also have your mothers smile." I looked down. "I can tell you, that right now, they are telling you, that this is the dress." I looked at the mirror again. I smiled. I imagine my parents smiling at me.

"Its the dress." We bought the dress and i started to get my things ready for tomorrow. I didnt sleep and the morning I started to do my hair. It was straight with waves at the bottom. I did my makeup, blue eye shadow and pink lipstick.

"Steves here!" Will yelled out. I put on my dress and my shoes. I walked out of my room. Jonathan started to record. I playfully rolled my eyes.

"For the memories." He said to me. Aunt Joyce took pictures and steve was in shock.

"You look-" he coughed. "Stunning." He showed up with a black tux.

"Thanks. You look handsome." I blushed.

"Come on, i want a picture together!" Aunt Joyce said as she pushed us together. We took so many pictures that we were late. We waved goodbye and went to school. I held Steves arm as we walked in the school. Everyone looked at us. I took a deep breath.

"Hey, its okay." Music blasted the gym, everyone dancing, eating and taking photos. Steve and I danced all night. It was really nice. Every girl loved my makeup and dress. a song Steve likes, turned on and he smiled at me as we danced.

"Sorry im stepping on your toes." I told him.

"Its alright."

"Alright ladies and gentlemen! Its time to reveal our king and queen!" Everyone cheered. "Okay. Our votes are in and our queen is..." Everyone drumrolled. "Tammy Thompson!" Everyone clapped and cheered. She walked up the stage and smiled. "Now, our king. He is the one and only Steve Harrington!" The girls cheered and clapped.

"Go Harrington." I cheered as he went up to the stage.

"Now the queen and king dance." Everyone made way and the danced. I clapped as I saw Steve. He was happy. Good for him. Prom continues and Steve danced with me.

"Congratulations." I told him.

"Thanks." Then We Belong Together by Ritchie Valens played. The oldest song I remember my mom loved. Steve and I decided to stay and dance. We swayed to the beat. I placed my head on his chest. Steve placed his hand on my back. It felt good. He placed his head on mine and danced slow. It is the best night i ever had. With the best guy I ever knew.
