Woodsboro High was like any high school in the American system with its cliche groups of Cheerleaders and Jocks, Nerds and Geeks, Band and Theatre students, Loner and Goths, Designers and Artists; And so many more. However, where did Estella Bellbrook, Talia Weston and Nicole Lawrence fall in the chaotic halls of teenage hormones and lack of experience, you may wonder? Well, they are well known through the school, each having a certain group of friends that they also spent time with due to their respective clubs. Estella was the schools journalist, she ran lead for the schools newspaper "Boro's Best".

Talia was the one that founded an archery team, a group that was mixed of Jocks, Goths, Nerds and a singular Cheerleader. Nicole was the captain of the track team, soccer team and she was the lead guitarist in the schools sponsored band. So the three girls were pretty deep in the web of the cliche high school groups where students find themselves and who they'll be after graduation. And thanks to their places in the schools hierarchy system, they were well known around the school and had a load of friends but no one was more important than their trio.

So as they got out of Talia's car, the girls were immediately greeted by almost everyone that was close by, smiles and waves were shared until Talia stopped and glared with her arms crossed. "And so it begins..." Randy says in a teasing voice, his arm around Nicole's shoulders while Estella was going through her bag on Talia's hood. The blonde looked up to see Talia tense and followed her gaze to see Tatum Riley all over Stu Macher, the two being overly affectionate despite all the eyes on them. "Talia, are you jealous?" Randy asked next with his usual grin. "I will punch you, Meeks," Talia warned. "No you won't because Stella has my back," Randy replied.

Estella laughed and turned her head to Randy, "I just might let her get a punch in if you're tormenting her." Randy placed his free hand to his chest in fake offence, "Ouch, Stell, where is the love?" Estella laughed at his words before moving towards Talia, she linked their arms and smiled sweetly up at her causing the brunette to smile back. "Just ignore her presence, Talia," Estella encouraged softly before the four of them made their way towards the school. Randy stopped to greet his other friend group, the three girls waiting by the school doors for him as it was their day to hang out with Randy Meeks. Estella looked up from her journal towards Randy hearing Stu's laugh.

The blonde's eyes landed on the tall boy who had a large grin on his face and mischief lurking in his eyes, she smiled softly at the teenager. Stuart Macher was a comedy genius adored by pretty much every single person in the school, he was the one who could turn your frown into a smile and his pranks even made the targets laugh. Despite coming from a rich family, Stuart was a kind teenager who never cared about the money and what it could do for him. Estella could remember all the times they hung out as kids from the age of four until they were twelve, however, it all changed when Estella's father and Stuart's father had a falling out; no one knew why.

The blonde felt someone staring at her, she turned her gaze to none other than Billy Loomis himself. His eyes watching her were calm and calculating though they were soft as he watched Estella. Billy Loomis was the best friend to Stuart Macher, they matched each other pretty well. Quiet and loud. Calm and chaotic. Tall and short. Billy was more of the Jock type, he was on the track team with Nicole and they casually spoke when training for the competitions. Billy was a part of Estella's childhood but once Stuart stopped hanging out at the Bellbrook home, Billy did too. But Estella was never hurt by that, she was glad that Stuart had someone.

"Meeks, let's go!" Talia called out to the boy pulling Estella out of her locked gaze with Billy Loomis. "Alright, I'm coming!" Randy called back with a wave of his hand. "I bet Nicole's never told you that!" Talia called back making everyone laugh while Nicole slapped Talia's arm, Estella shaking her head as she laughed too. Randy said bye to his friends and jogged over to Nicole, lightly shoving Talia who laughed and turned to into the school with the couple following behind her. Estella looked up at Billy once more, his eyes still watching with his usual blank expression before she turned around and followed after her friends.

"Honestly, she thinks she so great," Tatum remarked with an eye roll, she huffed and crossed her arms while moving away from Stu's chest. "I don't understand why you and Talia hold such a hatred towards each other, what happened?" Sidney asked with furrowed brows, she was watching her blonde friend closely. "Other than the fact that in my literal first week at this school, she asked me if my hair color was fake!?" Tatum exclaimed before scoffing, "Claiming that she knew blonde 'cause of Bellbrook having real blonde hair." Sidney was still confused, they were just words and Tatum was good at ignoring what others said about her, she always said that what others claim never affect her.

"Or is it because you've got a thing for her?" Billy asked making Stu laugh. "What the hell, Loomis!?" Tatum exclaimed at that question, "I have an amazing boyfriend. Why would I have a thing for Talia Weston?" Billy rolled his eyes as Sidney gave him a disapproving stare, they watched as the blonde huffed again and turned away from them. Sidney moved to sit with Tatum while Stu moved closer to Billy allowing the girls to talk amongst themselves. "Did you see how pretty she was?" Stu asked Billy, the Loomis boy knew who Stu was referring to and he almost cracked a smile from it. "Yeah, I saw," Billy replied before glancing back towards the doors excited for Economics with Estella Bellbrook.

"Stella?" Billy shyly called as he walked up to the blonde who was sitting alone making a flower crown. When the nine year old girls' blue-green doe eyes locked with Billy's dark ones, he felt his cheeks warm and his stomach flutter. "Yes, Billy?" Estella questioned with a soft, sweet smile. "Can I sit with you?" Billy asked as he fiddle with his sleeve, Stuart had been grounded so that meant Billy could hang out with Estella alone. "Of course you can," Estella replied happily, she patted the ground next to her and Billy instantly accepted the invitation to sit with her. "Can you teach me?" Billy asked as he pointed at the flower crown and the smile he received from the blonde was forever engraved into his mind. 'I'll marry you one day, Estella Bellbrook,' Billy thought to himself as he listened to her.

Estella had gone to her locker while Talia went to talk to Mrs Jones about her recent project and Nicole headed to her own locker with Randy trailing behind her as they discussed the recent horror movie they had watched together. The locker beside Estella opened, she turned her head to see Billy Loomis standing there; despite the lockers being in alphabetical order, Billy had his locker relocated due to the fight he had with his former locker neighbours which resulted in him being placed next to Estella's locker as it was empty. "Please tell me I wasn't the only one who did not understand the last question Mr Naveed gave us," Estella asked Billy.

"I didn't do it either," Billy assured her, he always liked that the girl didn't deter from conversations with him. It was obvious to anyone in school that Billy Loomis was one of the hottest boys in school especially with his bad boy presence that stood out, he caught the attention of every girl he walked by in some form but it was Sidney Prescott who won his attention and affection. But there were rumours that Billy Loomis wasn't loyal to Sidney, that he had been claimed to have been intimate with other girls but he always denied it and Sidney just learned to ignore it. Estella, however, had never once paid mind to the rumours, she trusted that Billy was a one-girl man.

"Glad I'm not alone in that then," Estella replied with a soft smile as she closed her locker and turned her head to watch students as they walked through the corridor or stand at their lockers. "How was your weekend?" Billy asked as he closed his locker and leaned against it, his arms crossed as he too watched the crowd. "It was pretty good. Did what I always did," Estella replied as she turned her head to look at the teenager. "Hung out with Talia and Nicole," Billy finished for her with an amused smile on his face. "Pretty much," Estella responded with her own smile. "Billy!" Stu called as he walked over, "The girls ditched me and..." Stu trailed off seeing Estella standing there.

"Hey Stuart," Estella greeted with a smile on her face, the taller teen grinned and moved to rest his arm on Billy's shoulder. "Hiya Stell," Stu greeted back along with a tinkle wave that made her giggle. "You were saying that the girls ditched you?" Estella asked in reference to what he cut himself off saying upon noticing her presence. "Uh, it's nothing. How are you doing?" Stu asked while Billy rolled his eyes and shoved Stu's arm off of his shoulder, Estella began telling Stu about her weekend with Talia and Nicole. "Stu! Let's go!" Tatum called as she stood with Sidney, the girls waiting for their boyfriends.

"It was nice talking to you two!" Estella told them before she waved, making her way down the hallway towards her first class of the day. Billy and Stu watched her leave before sharing a look, Stu smirked while Billy fought back the smile remembering the times when they were all kids hanging out together. After all, who forgets their first kiss because Billy certainly hasn't, he never forgot the day that Estella had bravely kissed him when they were only ten years old; he hadn't expected it but he was glad it had happened. The same goes for Stu, he was her second kiss and she was his first kiss; both boys adored Estella Bellbrook and she didn't even know it.
