Chapter 11: The Pollywag
NO ONE'S POV:
(Basketball is played in the Hawkins High gym. Y/N's in the bleachers watching as Steve is being guarded by Billy.)
Steve: [grunts]
Billy: Harrington, right? I heard you used to run this school. That true? King Steve, they used to call you, huh? Then you turned bitch with O'Connell up there.
Steve: Hey, maybe you should just shut up and just play the game.
(He steals the ball from him & lays the ball in.)
Tommy: That's what I'm talking about! Whoo!
Nancy: Steve?
(He goes outside with Nancy.)
Billy: O'Connell! Get your ass down here!
(Y/N): Basketball Isn't really my thing.
Billy: What? You can't dribble?
(Y/N): That's exactly it.
P.E. Teacher: (Y/N), just fill in for Harrington.
(Y/N): [sighs] Whatever.
(Cut to Nancy & Steve outside.)
Steve: What are you doing here?
Nancy: What do you think? Where were you this morning? I missed first period.
Steve: I figured Jonathan would take you.
Nancy: Wha...What are you talking about?
Steve: [scoffs] Jesus, you can't handle your alcohol. Uh...You remember going to Tina's party last night, right?
Nancy: Yes.
Steve: And then what?
Nancy: I remember dancing, and...spilling some punch. You got mad at me because I was drunk...and then you took me home.
Steve: [scoffs] No, see, that's where your mind gets a little bit fuzzy.
Nancy: (Y/N) took me home then?
Steve: Wrong again. That was your other boyfriend. That was...That was Jonathan.
Nancy: I don't understand.
Steve: It's pretty simple, Nancy. You were just telling it like it is.
Nancy: What?
Steve: Uh...apparently, uh...we killed Barb and I don't care, 'cause I'm bullshit...and our whole...our whole relationship is bullshit, and...(Y/N) is a monster. I mean, pretty much everything is just bullshit, bullshit, bullshit. Oh, yeah, also, you don't love me.
Nancy: I was drunk, Steve. I don't remember any of that.
Steve: So that makes everything that said...It's what? Just bullshit, too?
Nancy: Yes.
Steve: Well, then tell me.
Nancy: Tell you what?
Steve: You love me.
Nancy: Really?
(Another student tells Steve to hurry up since Billy's killing them in basketball. Nancy doesn't say it.)
Steve: I think that you're bullshit.
(He starts walking away from her.)
Steve: You know, you could at least apologize to (Y/N). He is the furthest thing from a monster.
(Cut to Steve walking back into the gym to see Billy trying to back down Y/N.)
Billy: Damn, O'Connell. You're stronger than you look.
*SHOE STREAKING*
*BALL DRIBBLING*
(Y/N's thoughts): I may not be able to dribble but I'm confident in my defense. I'm gonna block the shi--
*CRACK*
(Billy elbows Y/N in the nose.)
(Y/N): [grunts]
(He hits the ground as Billy lays the basketball in the hoop.)
(Y/N): [groans]
(He touches his nose & feels that it's broken.)
(Y/N): [winces]
(He moves his fingers down to his nostrils & looks back at them to see blood.)
(Y/N): [growls]
(He picks himself & charges at Billy only to be held back by the other students who were also playing basketball.)
Tommy: Looks like you really pissed him off. Ha!
Billy: Let him go! Let's see what you got!
(Y/N): [yells]
(Steve joins in on the students trying to hold Y/N back.)
Steve: (Y/N), you've got to calm down!
(Y/N): [deep breath] Okay, I'm calm. Get the hell off me.
Steve: [sighs] Good. You scared me there, buddy. Your nose...
(Y/N): Broken, I know.
P.E. Teacher: O'Connell--
(Y/N): Nurse, yeah. Going there now.
(He walks out of the gym. As he's walking...)
*CRACK*
(He pops his nose back into place.)
(Y/N): Ah! I swear, one of these days I'm going to rip someone in half...Nancy thinks I'm a monster, huh?
*SLASH*
(He slashes across some lockers.)
(Y/N): I'll show her a monster.
