Aaron's pov:

I slammed the door and exhaled heavily. I thought running might help to focus on other things. Other things then Catalina. I have two and a half hours until I told her I would show up at her apartment. Two and a half hours until I would spend the whole evening with her on a date. On a fake date, this stupid little voice in my head reminded me. As if I didn’t know. She is not mine and she might never be. I don’t think that there will come the day that I am the reason for her smile. When she smiles her whole face brightens up. Her eyes start to shimmer and it feels like looking in a night sky full of stars. Her dark brown eyes matched with hair, although they have a golden touch if the sun is shining on it. I remember the day that her appearance got stuck in my had. She was sitting with Rosie in this café. It rained earlier that day but right as I saw her the sun fell on her. She was the most beautiful woman I’ve ever seen. If I hadn't adored her before, that would have been the moment I fell for her. I looked up and automatically I looked at the picture of my mother. „You would love her.“ I whispered with a little smile on my lips.

My phone vibrated in my pocket and I took it out just to see an email notification. I unlocked it and immediately started to smile again. Catalina. She should have my number but as stubborn as I know her, she did not saved it. Mr. Blackford. That sounds typical for her and caused a slight smile on my face. I typed in my answer to the question of more details for this evening, the auction. Seconds before my finger pressed send I stopped. I thought about giving her the information she wanted and compered this option, with the one I preferred. I have not been able to think about any thing else this day, so why should I not be a little bit egoistic? I deleted the words and typed in my new answer. I'll be there in an hour. Best, Aaron. So I have one hour to get myself ready. Walking towards my closet I started to think about this evening. Normally I thought about the auction itself but today Catalina dominated my thoughts. What will she be wearing? Will there be a man that will get her interest? What if she meets someone she wants to spend the evening, maybe the whole night with? Should I ask her to dance with me? Would she dance with me? I have never been this nervous before a date and we are only faking it. I picked out the suit I wanted to wear and hurried to take a shower. Half an hour later I am still imagining all possible scenarios for this evening. I am standing in front of a mirror and try to tide my tie. My dad thought me how to tie it in middle school. A casual suit, similar to the suits I wore before. I checked again on myself in the mirror and run my hand through my hair one more time. Then I left.

During the ride to her apartment I turned up the music still trying to think about anything else than the woman I am going to pick up. Even the radio isn’t on my side - only love songs are playing. Why did I even try? She is always on my mind. There hasn’t been nearly any moment with our her in the last twenty months. My life has been the same since that day. At work I’m always trying to be near to Catalina, to see her talk to Rosie or just working and off work I thought about the day, what she was wearing, what she said. The things she said about me are the ones that I overthink all the time. She called me multiple names, not all of them very nice and I can’t figure out if she means them. I know it is my fault, she wanted to be nice on my first day and I messed up and before I realized what stunning woman wanted be to be her friend I became the coworker she can not stand. I turned into her street and parked in front of her building, but I did not get out of the car. The next five minutes I sat there in silence, only focusing on my breath. As I calmed down a little bit I get out and walked up the stairs. I knocked on the door ans a few moments later Catalina opened, wearing a weird jacket and her hair are put up in a messy bun. Wow, she’s beautiful.

All Because I Liked A Boy - Steve Harrington

Nancy has always been the mother of the group. She has been through a lot with them, and has protected them from all the troubles they’ve been through. During the problems they had with Vecna, it’s no secret she has been starting to develop feelings for Steve, again.

You were only a part of the group for not that long. When they needed your help, you gladly gave it to them, and in the process of defeating Vecna, you and Steve fell for each other. So, when he asked you out, you accepted. Not long after, you two had started dating.

–

The only peaceful time at Hawkins was during mornings. No shouting, no nosy neighbors, just peace. Making a cup of coffee before starting the day became a part of your daily routine. As you got ready to go outside, you saw Steve pulling in your driveway.

“Hey, what are you doing here?” You smiled as Steve pulled you in for a kiss.

“Why? Is it wrong to pick up my beautiful girlfriend?” He pulled you in for another kiss as you chuckled. You definitely got lucky with Steve. He’s everything you need in a man, someone who’s caring, and sweet, I’m talking like flowers everyday type of man. He was perfect.

When you both got in the car, you started jamming to your favorite songs on the way to school. As he dropped you off, you both shared a passionate kiss.

“Alright, I’ll see you later babe. Love you!” He blew you a kiss as he drove off

“Love you too!” You replied as you were waving at him.

What you guys didn’t know was that someone else was watching.

–

As you were walking along the hallways, you stumbled across Robin whom you waved at. She just glared at you in reply. Weird. She’s not usually like this. Figuring that maybe she was just in a bad mood or was having a bad day, you shrugged it off.

During lunch, you usually sat with Robin and Nancy. However, when you noticed they weren’t there, you just sat with your other friends. That was interesting, you thought. Maybe it was just a coincidence, paying no attention to it at all, you decided to shrug it off again.

After school, your day just got weirder, when you tried to talk to Max, it seemed as if she was in a hurry. You kept on asking if something was wrong, yet she just kept on insisting that she had something important to do.

“Hey Max!” you said with a smile

“Hey” she muttered as she hurriedly put her stuff away in her locker before going in the other direction.

“Max! Is something wrong?” You said with a worried look plastered on your face. She nodded as she continued to run away from you. What was going on?

–

Worried that something wrong happened, you went to Dustin’s house hoping to get an answer. He was smiling when you saw him but as soon as he saw you at the door, it was quickly replaced with a frown.

“Ok that’s it! What is going on? Why is everybody being rude to me today?” You said as you furrowed your eyebrows. Dustin sighed.

“(Y/N), look it’s not your fault” He said trying to make you feel better.

“Not my fault? Everybody just seems so off today!” you ranted. “Everybody seems to be in a good mood but as soon as they see me, they instantly either avoid me or ignore me” you continued.

Dustin just looked at you with a look on his face, it was as if he was disappointed in you and mad. “I’m sure you did nothing wrong, m-maybe everyone just had a bad day..?” He said trying to make an excuse. But you knew something was wrong. You noticed he stuttered, and he tends to do that a lot whenever he’s lying. Dustin is a bad liar.

You sighed, not wanting to fight him. “Look, just at least give me a hint of what I did”

“You just– you hurt one of us okay? And she’s someone very important”

“And I’m not? How am I supposed to know if you don’t tell me?” You replied. He sighed once again. You were itching to find out what was going on.

“Fine, just talk to Nancy or something ok?” He said as you nodded, and he closed the door clearly not wanting to speak to you anymore.

So, you went to bed that night thinking what you did wrong. Retracing your steps from the moment you woke up even up to the day before. I don’t get it you wondered, you were all fine the day before, all of you were even laughing and planning to hang out. What had gone wrong?

–

The next morning, you woke up really early to go confront Nancy. And when you got to her house, she had a big smile plastered across her face which seemed to fade as soon as she saw you. A simple “Oh” coming out of her mouth.

“Hi” you gave her a small smile. She greeted you “Hi” back but her eyes were glued on the floor.

“Nancy, come on, talk to me. What did I do wrong to you?” You grabbed her shoulders forcing her to look at you.

“It’s nothing, okay?” She tried to explain. “No it's not okay! Everyone has been very cold and distant towards me which is very rude and you gave me no explanation at all on what I did” you ranted.

For a second, she seemed to hesitate on what to say, but soon, everything poured out of her mouth.

“You wanna know what you did? You’re dating Steve.” She said, you were confused, you knew they dated but why was she so affected by you dating him. I mean, she was already dating Jonathan so you thought it would be okay with her.

“What’s wrong with me dating Steve?” you asked confusedly, she took a deep breath before starting to talk again. “You’re supposed to follow the principles of best friends. He’s my ex and you know the rule about not dating your best friend’s ex” she replied.

“But you’re with Jonathan, I thought it would be ok with you”

“It’s not okay? Just because I’m with Jonathan doesn’t make it okay.”

“You were barely even dating Steve, you were in love with Jonathan halfway through your relationship with him” you said. You finally put the pieces together. Her staring at Steve at the lake, her flirting with him whenever he got the chance, her being rude to Robin when they first met because she thought Robin and Steve were dating. It finally made sense, Nancy still likes Steve.

“You still like him don’t you?” you said as you looked at her. Her eyes went directly to the floor as you said that. And when she turned to look at you, it was a look that a child would give you if they were guilty about something. She still liked him.

Walking away from her house, you continued walking and was lost in your thoughts. Why were they mad? You can’t control who you love. You felt betrayed, as if someone had ripped your heart from inside you. You felt horrible. Now you know that if you and Nancy ever fought again, they would always choose her side.

Your friends hated you and shunned you all day because of your relationship with Steve. The thought couldn’t help but make you scoff. It’s so stupid, all of it.

They’re mad at you all because you liked a boy.

Beetlejuice literally yanks someone with a broken leg out of their wheelchair and steals it so Lydia doesn’t have to walk on her sprained foot and if you don’t think that’s the cutest shit I dunno what to tell ya.
