The next morning it takes prodding from Barb to get you to go to school.

Barb finally gets you too by reminding you that you're the new student and that it's your final year.

The next week basically consisted of you doing everything in your power not to face Billy.

If they didn't have assigned parking it would've been easier and you could drive but since Billy parked next to you, you started getting a ride to and from school with different people every day.

You also stayed later after school since you knew he had to pick his sister up. Thankfully Barb or Jonathan were more than happy to help with driving you home.

You and the others even started eating lunch at different areas of the school, and so on.

The next Saturday you and Barb go out for Ice cream to hopefully let go of last weekend's awful ending and the stressful week that followed.

You thank Barb for all of her help but you have decided that you were done running and Billy probably wasn't even trying to locate you anyway.

You and the server caught the eyes of each other and you could feel your face heating up and his was as well.

After some awkward conversation with the server about the new flavors they were offering, you find out that the server, Darren, was looking for a girlfriend.

You find yourself conflicted but decide to take the plunge and say you happen to be looking for a date as well and accept his offer to see a movie the next night and he would pick you up at 8 pm.

You, Barb and Nancy spend all of Sunday getting you ready for the big night. You never understood why Nancy tagged along but was grateful for all her advice.

I mean she did help you pick out the amazing shit you have on as well as some great makeup tips.

"Thanks so much, Nance," you say delighted to finally have some good friends.

"No prob gotta help my friend look her best for her first date in Hawkins" Nancy said with a smile.

Darren picks you up exactly at 8 pm. He is a real gentleman opening the door for you and even bringing you some beautiful roses.

The trip to the theater was filled with basic getting-to know each other's questions.

When you arrive you feel a wave of uneasiness wash over you as you see all the people.

You had never been out on an actual date with anyone, for that matter.

Darren slips his hand into yours and asks comfortingly "would you like to just go get some takeout and eat in the car"?

Taking a deep breath you shake your head no and say "No I am ok, just a bit nervous for my real first date" you say embarrassingly.

Darren grins and plants a kiss right on your lips. You kiss him back and the two of you head to the ticket booth.

"Two for Blame it on The Night," Darren said as you stood calmly next to him with your hand locked in his.

The girl at the counter smiled and said "here's your tickets, you two are just the cutest".

You both blush and head inside. You pay for the popcorn and drink since Darren got the tickets.

As you head towards the theater playing your movie you run into a familiar face, none other than Billy Hargrove.

He, unfortunately, notices you and you take the opportunity to plant a kiss on Darren's cheek and walk right past him.

As you enter the theater you look over and Billy is still watching the two of you, a spark of flame dancing in his eyes.

You can't understand why. He hasn't tried to talk to you all week plus he seemed to be hot on Carol.

You shrug it off and you and Darren enjoy the movie.

A few stolen kisses and shared tissues later you head out of the theater back to Darren's car.

When you get there you notice a very familiar blue Camaro parked in the spot right across from Darren.

"How the hell did he know which car," you think but ruefully ignore him and allow Darren to open the door for you, taking the opportunity to kiss him softly on the forehead.

As you pull away your eyes lock with Billy and you see that all-too-familiar blue flame dancing in his eyes.

Not allowing him to ruin your night you start laughing with Darren about how often you kissed for a first date.

As you pull into the driveway of your house, you become sad the night is over.

"Y/N I would love a second date," Darren asked brushing your hair out of your eyes.

"I would love that as well. Friday, 8 pm" you say excitedly.

Darren nods and with one last kiss, you head in and have the best night's sleep you've had in a long time.
