Glorious Results of a Misspent Youth |  Billy Hargrove x OFC
CHAPTER TWO
Andie gets to school when second period is just starting. She walks into the classroom and sees Rich and Sam already sitting in their usual seats. She takes a deep breath and walks up to them. ‘Hey.’ She mumbles shyly. ‘Hey Andie, where were you first period?’ Sam asks her. He doesn’t sound angry. Andie takes a seat. ‘I overslept.’ She answers cautiously. ‘Are you okay?’ Rich asks her. ‘Yeah, I’m fine, bit of a headache and some bruises and scratches from the fight,’ she points at the scratches on her face. She is wearing a scarf to hide a hideous hickey on her neck. They don’t need to know about that. She shows her hand, which is bruised and cut from the punching and the falling. ‘But I’m fine,’ She adds. ‘What happened with Billy?’ Rich asks. ‘Nothing.’ Andie answers quickly. Rich frowns. She can’t talk about Billy right now, too many confusing feelings, so she turns to Sam. ‘Is Lisa okay?’ Sam sighs. He sounds frustrated. ‘She’s certainly more beaten up than you are.’ ‘I’m so sorry, Sam. I really didn’t mean for it to get so out of hand, but she did start it.’ ‘I know. I obviously shouldn’t have put you guys in the same room. But she’s okay, really.’ Andie sighs in relieve. Not because Lisa is okay. She just really doesn’t want a fight with Sam. Andie looks at the door just as Billy enters the classroom. He has a big bruise next to his eye. She looks away. ‘Do you guys want to go to the movies after school?’ She asks. Sam looks at her sheepishly, ‘I’m hanging out with Lisa. I could bring her?’ Andie gives him a look. ‘You are the funniest man alive. how about you, Rich?’ ‘I have basketball practice.’ He says. ‘You guys are no fun.’ Rich laughs. ‘Last night was enough fun for the rest of the year, thank you very much’ He says. ‘You could hang out at basketball practice? I’m benched most of the time anyway.’ Andie sighs. ‘Why not.’ The teacher walks in and class starts.
Andie sits down on the gym’s stand. She actually quite enjoys basketball. She gives Rich a wave when he walks onto the court. He waves back but has a worried look on his face. Right behind him Billy enters the court. Of course, Andie thinks to herself. He’s wearing a tank-top and the usual basketball shorts. Their eyes meet, but he shows no emotion. ‘Okay boys, today we have Billy joining us, say hi.’ Nobody says hi. ‘Run a few laps, warm yourselves up, in ten minutes we’re starting.’ Everyone starts running. Andie decides now is a good time to try and sort out her Billy-feelings. She just doesn’t know where to start. The facts: In the video-store he acted like a dick. Last night they made-out, like, heavily. Who started it? She can’t remember. It ended weird, that’s for sure, but Andie isn’t sure exactly how they left things. Is he mad at her? Is she mad at him? Are they fine? Were they ever? She touches the bruises on her arm from him grabbing her. She feels like she should be mad at him, but she just isn’t. They were both very drunk and she did elbow him in the face. This is not helping. She sighs and leans back. She follows Billy with her eyes. He is running his laps effortlessly. She has never been much of an athlete, especially not after a night of heavy drinking, but he is obviously made for this. ‘Okay shirts with Steve, skin with Frank. Billy take your shirt off, you’re with Frank. Jim and Richard, you’re benched.’ Rich turns to Andie and throws his hands up. She laughs. Rich isn’t really a great athlete either, his dad made him join the team. He has played exactly three games in two years of being on the team. He throws his shirt back on and runs up a couple steps to sit next to Andie. She pats him on the back. ‘Good walk.’ ‘Don’t get too comfortable, Richard, I’m going to rotate players.’ The coach yells after him. Rich gives him a thumbs up and the coach rolls his eyes. ‘Alright Billy, let’s see what you’ve got.’ Billy takes off his shirt and they start the game. He’s good. He’s actually really good. Rich is staring at Andie, but she pretends not to notice. After a few minutes it gets annoying and she gives up. ‘Okay, go ahead.’ She says reluctantly. ‘What happened last night with Billy.’ Rich asks her like it’s a statement. Andie sighs. ‘He tried to calm me down, after the fight… We made-out a bit and that’s all.’ She says dryly. Rich scoffs. ‘Come on, Andie, he was heavily strung-out, and you were completely freaked when you came out of the bathroom. Something must have happened.’ ‘He was high?’ Andie mumbles. ‘Were you really that drunk? He was completely coked-up.’ She frowns. ‘Well, it doesn’t matter anyway, we had a heated make-out session and he grabbed my arm a little weirdly but it’s not a big deal.’ ‘How do you mean weirdly?’ ‘, like he was amped-up, so the coke kind of explains that.’ Andie says, more to herself than too Rich. Meanwhile Billy is scoring left and right. He plays very aggressively and it’s fun to watch. Andie discovers the odd sensation of feeling kind of bad for Steve. He’s getting crushed. ‘Andie, just…’ Rich starts, but he gets interrupted. ‘Okay, Richard, you’re in for Steve.’ The coach yells. He gets up. Andie grabs his arm ‘Really, Rich, don’t worry about me. If something else had happened I would talk to you guys about it. I promise.’ He sighs. ‘Alright, fine. I’m just worried about you, you know that right?’ He says. Andie smiles at him and nods. She lets him go and he walks down to the court. Andie sees Steve walking out with Nancy. She remembers the punch thing from last night. Poor Nancy, having to deal with that jock-douche. When they were kids Nancy and Andie were good friends, but their friendship watered down when they got into High School. They didn’t have a lot of classes together and just kind of drifted apart. Maybe I should ask her to hang out sometime. She focusses back on the team but honestly, it’s too painful to look at. Billy is single-handedly annihilating Rich’s team. She grabs the book that’s in her bag and starts reading, but she keeps peeking at Billy’s sweaty body. She can’t help herself. It’s a really nice view.
After the game, just as Andie walks out of the gym, Billy comes after her and stops her. He has his shirt and gym-bag in his hand and is clinging on to them for dear life. He looks extremely uncomfortable. It’s a weird look for someone who’s usually so confident. He hands her her terminator sunglasses. ‘You should watch your stuff.’ He mumbles. He sounds out of breath and his chest is glistening from sweat. Andie smiles inadvertently. ‘Oh, yeah, I was looking for those.’ That’s a lie, she didn’t even know she had forgotten them. ‘Thanks for hanging on to them.’ He shifts his weight. ‘Yeah, well, don’t get you panties in a twist, I thought they were mine.’ He says, also lying. There’s an awkward silence. He runs his hand through his hair. ‘Well, that’s all’ He mumbles as he turns back around. He looks irresistible. So why resist? Andie decides. She grabs his arm and he immediately turn back around. She quickly lets him go. ‘Eh… I… Actually, I was wondering if you wanted to go see a movie.’ She says in one breath. Billy frowns. He doesn’t answer. ‘I was going to go with my friends, but… they were busy I guess.’ He still doesn’t say anything. ‘And eh… Have you seen Nightmare on Elm Street? Because… eh… I haven’t’ She really doesn’t have anything else. He looks like he’s thinking. She raises her eyebrows in question. God, it’s not a difficult question. He sighs. ‘You know what, I don’t really do the whole dinner-and-a-movie date thing.’ He bites his lip. ‘So… No, I don’t think so.’ He adds. He sets his bag down and throws his shirt back on. Andie watches him, a confused look on her face. He grabs his bag, mumbles a short ‘Yeah…’ to himself and walks to the exit. That was weird. Andie shakes her head. Alright, whatever. She walks into the hall to her locker when she sees Steve trying to get his open. It’s not opening, and he proceeds to punch it in anger. This is probably about Nancy. His locker is one away from Andie’s and nobody else is in the hall. She debates whether to just ignore him or say something. ‘Open up you piece of garbage.’ He says to his locker, but it still won’t open, and he punches it again. Andie sighs and walks up to him. ‘You okay, Steve?’ She asks him reluctantly. He makes a frustrated noise and gestures toward his locker. ‘The thing wont open.’ Andie nods understandingly. ‘Maybe you should try a gentler approach.’ She suggests. ‘Here, check this out,’ She walks up to her own locker and puts a hand on it. ‘My dearest locker, please accept my offering of the following numbers and present to me your glorious realm.’ She says to it and she puts in the combination. She pulls on the lock. It doesn’t open. She frowns. ‘Well, that’s just rude.’ She mumbles. Steve laughs. ‘Thanks, dude, I see now my past mistakes.’ Andie laughs. Steve’s face drops again, and he sighs. ‘Seriously though, are you okay?’ Andie asks. ‘Yeah… I just…’ Steve starts. He sighs again. ‘I guess me and my girlfriend just broke up.’ ‘Oh, man, sorry about that. That sucks.’ Andie says. ‘Yeah, it does.’ He answers softly. They both try their lockers again and both open this time. They grab their books. ‘I just broke up with someone too actually.’ Andie says. She had almost forgotten about it with all that happened. ‘I’m not too broken up about it though. To be honest, he was a dick.’ ‘I guess that’s what Nancy is feeling too.’ Steve mumbles. Andie closes her locker and looks at him. ‘No, Steve my guy was cheating on his girlfriend with me. You’re not so bad.’ Steve closes his locker too and they start walking toward the exit together. ‘What do you know? I mean, how do you know I wasn’t cheating on Nancy too?’ Steve asks her. Andie shrugs. ‘I don’t, but you seem like a nice guy. I mean you’re a tool but more centered around shampoos and lotions and ball sports.’ He laughs. ‘Pretty accurate, I guess.’ He says, shrugging. ‘What was your name again?’ He asks as they walk out to the parking lot. Andie sees Billy leaning on the hood of his car. He sees them and gets an angry expression on his face. Andie frowns. ‘Hello?’ Steve asks. ‘Sorry, what?’ Andie says, keeping her eyes on Billy as they slowly get closer to him. ‘Your name?’ Steve repeats. ‘Andie,’ she mumbles. Billy scoffs audibly and crosses his arms. Did he just scoff at me? Steve frowns and follows her gaze to an angry Billy looking at them. ‘What’s up with him?’ He asks. Billy pushes himself off the hood. ‘You work fast, sweetheart.’ Billy yells at Andie loudly. Andie stops walking. Now it’s her turn to look angry. Steve stops too, a confused look on his face. ‘Are you really doing this right now, Billy? Did you not just reject me?’ She yells back at him. Steve raises his eyebrows. ‘You asked him out?’ He asks Andie. Billy rolls his eyes. ‘I’m just saying you’re fast.’ He yells. They’re standing about 50 feet apart, neither of them showing any intention of moving closer. ‘This is a weird interaction.’ Steve mumbles. ‘Not that it’s any of your business, but I’m just being nice. He was basically crying in the hallway.’ She yells at Billy, gesturing to Steve. Steve frowns ‘Oh, come on, I was not.’ ‘So you offered him some consolation pussy?’ Billy yells. Steve’s eyes get big. Andie scoffs. ‘How DARE you!’ She screams. ‘Not cool, man!’ Steve yells. Billy points at Steve aggressively. ‘STAY out of this, Harrington.’ ‘Why don’t YOU stay out of this Billy! Go home!’ Andie yells. ‘What is happening…’ Steve says to himself. ‘You try telling me what to do again, bitch!’ He yells at her. That’s when Andie runs up to him. ‘Oh shit…’ Steve mumbles and he runs after her. Billy leans back on his car again. Andie get’s right up in his face. ‘What did you call me?’ She whispers, her voice trembling in anger. ‘I don’t like people telling me what to do, you’d be a good girl to remember that.’ He hisses. She punches him straight in the jaw. He flinches, but then he starts laughing. ‘Ah yeah, that’s just how I like it honey. Why don’t you try that again.’ He says, still laughing. She goes to punch him in the nose, but Steve pulls her back. ‘Just leave him, Andie, he has some serious anger management issues.’ Steve says to Andie. ‘That makes two of us,’ She hisses through her teeth. But she listens to Steve and starts walking away. ‘Oh come on, honey. That’s the second time this week you’re holding out on me!’ Billy yells after her. Andie bites her lip. ‘Fuck it, she can skate home.’ Billy mumbles and he gets in his car. ‘What on earth was all that.’ Steve asks Andie as they watch Billy drive away, tires screeching. Andie sighs. ‘I don’t know, man, that guy is complicated.’ Steve chuckles. ‘Yeah, no shit, he’s insane. You should stay away from him Andie, seriously.’ He says to her, a serious look on his face. Andie chuckles. ‘I don’t like people telling me what to do, be a good girl and remember that.’ She says imitating Billy’s husky voice. Steve laughs. ‘See you around, Andie. Good luck with that situation’ He says gesturing towards where Billy took off. Andie laughs, ‘Yeah, good luck with yours.’
When Andie turns the corner to her street she sees Billy’s car sitting in the drive-way. ‘No. fucking. way.’ She says out loud. She runs up to the car. He’s not in it. She looks around, but she doesn’t see him. That’s when she sees her mom’s car is in the garage. She cautiously walks up to the door and opens it. She’s immediately greeted by a sea of laughter coming from Billy and her mom. What on earth? She walks into the kitchen. Her mother is sitting on a stool and Billy is leaning on the kitchen counter. They both look at her. Billy smirking and her mother with an annoyed look. ‘Oh, hi.’ Her mother says. ‘What the fuck are you doing here.’ Andie says to Billy, shooting lasers with her eyes. ‘Come now Andie, be nice to this lovely young man. He just came by to talk.’ Her mother says to her while staring at Billy. She’s nearly drooling. ‘Give us a minute, mother.’ Andie says to her. She doesn’t move. Andie rolls her eyes. ‘Don’t worry Lois, we just need a second to talk, I can handle her angry.’ He says in a low voice, winking at her. Andie scoffs. ‘Alright then.’ Lois says reluctantly, she walks out of the room like she’s walking a catwalk. Andie rolls her eyes and turns to Billy. ‘What…’ She starts, but he interrupts her. ‘Do you still want to go to the movies?’ He grabs a grape from the fruit bowl and throws it in his mouth. Andie blinks. ‘I… What?’ She asks stuttering. ‘The movies, you asked me to go?’ He says, like it’s common sense. Andie doesn’t even know what to say. ‘You still want to go right?’ He asks her, chewing on another grape. She scoffs. ‘No! What? How can you possibly think I still want to go after what just happened?’ She says. She’s not even angry at him right now. Just confused. Billy rolls his eyes. ‘Oh that? Come on, kid.’ ‘You called me a bitch. That’s not cool, Billy. I punched you in the face. How…’ He interrupts her again. ‘I guess that makes us even then, right? Come on Andie, you can handle some bad words and I can take a punch, we’re perfect for each other. Let’s go out.’ She walks up to the kitchen table and sits down on a chair. She’s so confused. ‘You are so confusing… half an hour ago you said you don’t go on movie dates.’ ‘Dinner-and-a-movie dates. Yeah, no, but I haven’t been on one in a while so why not.’ He says like it’s self-explanatory. Andie shakes her head in confusion. ‘And then you were yelling at me?’ He sighs and walks to the kitchen table grabbing the chair across from her. He leans on his elbows and speaks softly, like he’s telling a secret. ‘Look, I changed my mind and I was waiting for you to come out so I could tell you that, and then you came out with Steve and well… I don’t like the guy, okay, just come out with me.’ Her time to sigh again. ‘Billy, I don’t think I can handle all this.’ She gestures at him with her hands. He leans in a little closer. ‘I’m sorry okay, I’m sorry.’ He says. ‘Look, Billy, it’s okay. Okay? But…’ ‘No, no. No but, just, I like you. Come out with me. We don’t have to go see a movie let’s just get some ice-cream and I’ll take you right back home. It doesn’t even have to be today. How about Saturday?’ He says like it’s the hardest thing he’s ever done. She grunts. ‘I know I’m a dick okay, just ice-cream.’ She grunts a little louder. She looks at him. He smiles at her. ‘Fine, Billy, let’s get some damned ice-cream on Saturday.’ She says finally, throwing her hands up in despair. He leans back. ‘Alright, great!’ Andie sighs. She’s not sure if it’s a great idea, but whatever. It’s just ice-cream. ‘So, you never told me what you and that girl were fighting about last night.’ ‘You never asked.’ He rolls his eyes. ‘I’m asking now.’ Jesus, mood swings much? ‘Well, me and Sam have been friends since we were little and Lisa, Sam’s girlfriend, is jealous of that.’ Andie explains. ‘Ah. Is she right to be?’ Andie frowns. ‘No. She isn’t. We’re just friends’, she states. ‘How long are those two together?’ He asks. She crosses her arms and leans back. ‘Why are you interrogating me on this?’ She asks. Billy let’s out a chuckle. ‘I’m not, I’m just showing an interest. People do that, you know. And, by the way, I did get an elbow in the face over it so I feel like I’m involved.’ He points at the bruise on his face. ‘Yeah sorry about that.’ Andie mumbles. He smiles ‘Don’t sweat it, like I said, I can take a punch. Answer my question.’ ‘Right, eh, they’ve been together for about a year or so?’ Andie says. Billy thinks for a second. ‘So why did she attack you now?’ Andie signs ‘I don’t know man, I guess -in her mind- I wasn’t really a threat before because I was seeing John.’ ‘Who’s John?’ He asks, his voice dropping an octave. Oh God. ‘Eh, he’s this guy I was kind of seeing but last week I found out he has a girlfriend, so we’re done now.’ Billy nods slowly. This suddenly feels like a therapy session. ‘And how does that make you feel?’ Yep, this is therapy. Andie chuckles. ‘Fine, I guess. I’m still kind of angry at him but I didn’t love him, or even really like him, so I’m fine really.’ He’s thinking. ‘Do you need a notepad to write this all down?’ She adds. He chuckles. ‘Alright, I get it, I’m gone.’ He gets up and starts to walk out. Andie follows him to the door and opens it for him. ‘Bye.’ He says, smirking at her. This is awkward. ‘Bye.’ Andie answers. He doesn’t move. She raises her eyebrows. His hand moves up. She swallows. He grabs her scarf and pulls it down revealing the hickey he left on her throat. He lets out another chuckle. He gives her a kiss on the corner of her mouth and walks out. She moves her hand to her lips and follows him with her eyes. Well, he’s certainly not boring, she thinks, and she closes the door.
Thursday comes around and after school Rich, Sam and Andie are sitting on the ground in an alley next to the school gym. They are passing a joint around. ‘I’m not saying it’s some big conspiracy, I just don’t understand why anyone would be stupid enough to just go into the woods, bringing nothing. It’s just too dumb. He’s not a dumb kid.’ Sam says, sounding frustrated. They are talking about Will Byers who got lost in the woods last year. ‘If the kid says that’s what happened, that’s what happened, Sam, why would he lie?’ Rich asks him. Andie sighs. They’d had this conversation a thousand times before. Sam was obsessed with it. ‘I don’t know but when he had just disappeared everyone was like, he can’t have run away because all of his things are still at home and stuff. And now everyone is like, oh yea he just went into the woods, like now it suddenly makes all the sense in the world. I’m telling you, the kid is too smart to do something like that’ Rich rolls his eyes. ‘You keep saying that, how would you even know that, you don’t know him.’ ‘He gave him piano lessons when he was younger, Rich, he told you this a million times.’ Andie says, bored out of her mind. She takes another hit and passes the joint to Sam, who does the same. The discussion continues for a few more minutes until Sam has to go home. Rich and Andie talk some more about a big test they have on Monday and then Rich takes off too. Andie stays in the alley for a little longer. Her mom’s sister is visiting today which means her mother will be pretending to care about Andie. She’s not up for that today. Maybe she should just go eat at a diner, she considers. Would she have to call home? She’s pretty sure her mother will just come up with an excuse for her. She closes her eyes. It’s nice out today, kind of cold, but Andie likes it cold. ‘Andie Mann.’ She hears an angry voice call out. Fuck. She opens her eyes seeing Miss Janet right in front of her, arms crossed. She doesn’t say anything, she just looks at Andie. It looks like she wants her to say something, but Andie doesn’t know what to say. Maybe she thinks it’s just a cigarette? Andie takes the joint out of her mouth and smiles sheepishly. Smooth. ‘What are you waiting for, Mann, get up.’ The teacher says impatiently. Andie drops the joint on the ground and gets up. ‘Let’s go.’ Miss Janet adds. Andie frowns. ‘Where are we going?’ She asks genuinely confused. ‘The principal’s office, Mann, let’s go.’ Shit. They walk into school and through the hall to the principal’s office. When they get to the principal’s secretary’s desk sitting on the bench is none other than Billy Hargrove. He doesn’t look up but keeps staring in front of him with a look on his face like he could murder someone. Andie chuckles. ‘Is this funny to you, Mann?’ Miss Janet bites at her. ‘Nope, ma’am.’ Andie says as she sits down next to Billy. The secretary isn’t there so Janet walks into the principal’s office. ‘You okay there, buddy?’ Andie asks Billy. He doesn’t respond. Andie chuckles again nervously. Miss Janet comes back out. ‘Stay here. He’ll be right with you.’ She says and she walks out. Silence. Then Billy grunts angrily. Andie frowns. He looks really pissed. ‘What happened?’ She tries again. He huffs. ‘What happened? I moved to this piece of shit garbage town. That’s what happened.’ Alright… Andie decides to just leave him alone. Except Billy keeps making angry noises and Andie is kind of giggly so she’s having a hard time not laughing at him. This keeps going for a bit until Billy gets up and starts walking around the room impatiently. ‘Why is that asshole making us wait. There’s like five people in this school, what could he possibly be doing.’ He looks so cute when he’s angry. Andie snorts loudly trying to keep from laughing at him. He finally looks at her. ‘What the fuck is wrong with you?’ He asks. ‘You know what he’s probably doing?’ Andie asks him trying so hard not to laugh. He stops pacing and is studying her face. ‘Jacking off.’ Andie answers her own question and she bursts out laughing. He frowns. ‘Are you high?’ He asks her. Andie nods her head, and she leans forward still laughing her ass off. He chuckles, but quickly goes back to being angry. She keeps laughing. Billy rolls his eyes. ‘Okay, it wasn’t that funny Andie, calm down.’ He says. She stops laughing. ‘You calm down.’ She mumbles at him. ‘What the hell is taking so long.’ Billy repeats and he starts pacing again. ‘Relax, Billy.’ ‘Fuck you.’ He shoots back immediately. Andie raises her eyebrows. Andie decides she should probably get him to calm down or he’ll probably get into some deep shit with the principal. Billy walks up to the secretary’s desk and knocks some papers on the floor mumbling ‘Oops.’ Andie rolls her eyes. What a child. She thinks for a second but realizes quickly that she knows exactly what to do. She gets up. A stoned Andie is a no-bullshit Andie. ‘Come here, Billy.’ She says. Billy shoots her a look. Andie sighs. She walks up to him and grabs the collar of his jacket with both hands. Billy frowns. Andie kisses him. The heat they felt before is back immediately. He kisses her back. One of his arms wraps around her, stroking her back with his hand. The other hand grabs her behind the head deepening the kiss, his tongue messaging hers. It’s a very passionate kiss, just like the one they shared at the party. Billy moves his hands, grabbing her ass. She moans, and he lifts her up setting her on the secretary’s desk. Andie smiles into the kiss and grabs his waist pulling him against her. He lays his hands on her knees and moves them up to her thighs. They break their kiss for a moment to catch their breath. Billy moves back in and bites her lip softly. They continue their kiss. Suddenly a voice comes from principal’s offices. ‘God help me.’ They break their kiss, and both look towards the voice to see the principal standing in the doorway.
