You know the anxious and yet exciting feeling you get when you're looking forward to something, it could be a field trip, a date, or your birthday, something big you know? The kind of feeling that makes both your heart and mind race over each other towards the thing that's keeping you up at night.
You can't sleep, your body doesn't want to but you know deep inside that it'll help the time go by faster, but yet a strange type of adrenaline is rushing straight through your veins as you count the sheeps in order to sleep.
You feel scared but yet excited so instead of sleeping, you talk to the man outside your window. You pray to him to put you to sleep, to just make everything a dream but yet he doesn't answer.
That's the fate of our dear Jacqueline, instead of sleeping, she sat by her window with a cigarette between her fingers, taking a long drag out of it, before releasing the smoke out her nose. Somehow, time always seemed to be moving faster when she smoked. She wasn't sure if its because she zones out from time to time or it's because her mind only focus on that cigarette between her fingers instead of what's around until it dies out. Either way, it was distracting her, she was on her sixth one when the alarm clock began to go off behind her.
6:30 a.m
The girl couldn't do anything but stare at the rectangular device as it continued it's screaming. The noise bounced and echoed throughout her room and to the rest of the house, making it unbearable to hear so early in the morning but she couldn't stop it. Her body was tired but her mind was not, making it hard for her to move, everything else was asleep except for the brain that's been working overdrive since yesterday morning. So sadly, the screaming continued for a long while until she finally got the strength to turn it off because she knew if she didn't, her mom would and wouldn't be happy doing it.
With a tired and calm mind, Jacqueline dragged her dead limbs to the bathroom in order to get ready, and the process of that was embarrassingly long, taking a shower took forty to sixty minutes, face care took thirty minutes and getting dressed took twenty-six minutes which didn't really make sense because her outfit choice wasn't that much to deal with or put on.
She wore dark blue denim shorts that stopped at her upper thighs, a black T-shirt that was tied into a small knot to show off a little more skin, and a denim jacket to match with the following of white sneakers and white ankle socks. Her curls was once again left down to be wild as it wanted to in the spring breeze.
Not bothering to check herself out in the mirror, she practically ran down the stairs like she was flash. She didn't know if she was excited to see Steve or Billy. Billy should be the option right? He's her best friend, her boyfriend, her- Soulmate.
It couldn't be Steve, she barely knows him and besides, he did come off too strong when they first met, as if he was- desperate? Speaking of Steve, as the girl stepped on foot outside, the first thing she saw was Steve leaning against what she assumed to be his car, just staring at the sky with a nervous look.
"Morning Steven." Her soft tone caused him to jump out of thought as his eyes immediately landed on her which widen a bit as he took a good look at her body.
The only woman who has a curvaceous body was Mike's mom, making her the MILF in town, but it definitely seems like she has competition. Jacqueline wasn't skinny like any girls in Hawkins, she had curves all in the right places and then some; from her breast that was peaking out from her shirt, to her semi wider waist, to her mother-baring hips and big thighs. She had a pear like shape to her, it was different but incredibly attractive.
Steve was so busy gawking at her figure, he didn't even notice that the girl has been calling his name for a good minute.
"For fucks sakes- Harrington!" She was getting irritated and uncomfortable by the minute, already questioning if it was even a good idea to let him drive her to school. So far, he only gave her the impression that he's just a horny sleaze bag, which is upsetting. She was just starting to like him too.
"I- I'm sorry. Um, good morning Jackie, sorry for zoning out there, you must be cold. Here." He tried to apologize but she wasn't having it. She barely even looked him in the eyes after what just happened, instead she kept staring at her feet. Panicking, he just quickly opened the passenger door, ushering her in before she could even speak. He thought if he could be a gentleman and open the door for her, everything would be better.
But it was just getting worse. She wanted to deny the car ride at this point, but kept her mouth shut once the car door was slammed in her face, yeah this was definitely getting on her nerves. There were red flags all over the place and yet she still sat in his car while he took so long to get in. She was trying so hard to give him the benefit of the doubt and to understand him, and she hated herself for it.
If Billy would've saw this, he would've put Steve in the hospital with no question. But Jacqueline was different, yes she wanted to slap him until his eyes popped out his socket, but yet she was worried for him.
From the corner of her eye, she could sense how nervous he was. His face had mixed emotions of regret, anger, and guilt, meanwhile his knuckles were loosing it's color from how hard he was gripping the steering wheel.
"Are you okay?" The question was supposed to come out clearly and filled with concern but instead, it came out in a whisper.
"Yeah, yeah. Just tired I guess." He replied quickly with a half ass smile as a way to reassure her.
It didn't work though but she wasn't going to push further. So instead, she just kept to herself.
The car ride was uncomfortably silent, no one dared to say anything and just kept their eyes on the road. It lasted like the all the way to school. Teens filled the parking lot, all of them dressed with so much loud colors like the people she saw yesterday, it was both ugly and irritating to see.
Once the car was parked, Steve turned to look at Jacqueline, not knowing her eyes were already on him. "Just a heads up, people here seems to get real judge-y, best thing to do is walk like you own the school. Ignore everyone and walk with confidence so you won't be considered a freak or the weird new girl. Besides, with you by me? You'll already be considered popular."
"Or I'll be considered as Steven Harrington's new bitch. Yeah, thanks but no thanks Steven." His smile grew wide at her quick comeback, the girl had spunk and this kind of fire in her that was so desirable. It was hard for him not to fall in love.
Once the two was out the car, she followed his exact advice. It's not like the girl needed advice, she practically owned her last school. All it took was fear with a mix of sex and confidence and it didn't look like the girl had to do much in this town.
The curly haired brunette basically floated across the parking lot toward the brightly colored building, swaying her hips like a runway model. The way she walked and the way her simplest of outfits melted into her curves caused even the prettiest older and younger popular girls to bristle and send a glares her way as the men did nothing but stopped and drool like the dogs they were.
Already she had them putty in her hands but all that came crashing down once her eyes landed on specific person leaning against the doors of the school.
Billy.
The girl didn't know how long she was staring at him but it felt like a eternity. At first she wanted to just turn around and run as far as her little legs can carry her but once their eyes were locked, she couldn't help but loose all control of her body. Just like this morning, her limbs were dead asleep, nothing but her heart and brain working on overdrive.
Looking into his eyes, you could read a thousand words from them. He was confused, shock, but mostly? He was thankful his girl was here, with him. It doesn't take much to make Billy cry, but the tears swelling up in his eyes told a whole different story that no one but Jacqueline understand.
Right here, right now, it felt like they were looking at each other for the first time in forever, like they were staring at each other through the window that night of the accident. Somehow it felt like deja vu but it felt so fucking right.
Since Jacqueline couldn't bring herself to move, Billy was the one to. The boy practically ran with full force towards her, crashing right into her with a hug. His muscles immediately tightened around her like it was a basic instinct of his, not a minute less he lifted her up in the air which she accepted by hooking her legs around him, planting her forehead against his as they did nothing but smile widely, accepting heavy breaths from both parties.
It seemed like a fever dream but once their lips crashed into each other, they knew it real.
Electricity running through their veins as they kissed each other with so much passion and desire. No one could let go, but yet they didn't want to.
Tears ran down Jacqueline's face as she was the one to finally break the kiss to speak but ended up choking on her words once his lips touched hers again, this time in loving pecks. She couldn't help but laugh at the gesture considering Billy was never the kind to do that, soon ended up giving in and met everyone of his quick kisses with some of her own.
"God, I fucking missed you so much darling. You're here right? Like really here and forever?" He questioned, letting the girl down but still holding her close to his body which she didn't reject.
She couldn't help but smile, taking a quick moment to look around to see if everyone saw before answering and they were, including Steve who wore a look of hurt and betrayal on his face. Immediately her heart sunk, she felt guilty for some reason but a kiss on her forehead from Billy erased that all as she snapped back into reality.
"Yeah, yeah of course baby. I'm here and staying." She answered before smashing her lips against his once again, this time a bit more sexual as her tongue happily explored his mouth, getting that sweet taste she missed so much. Bubblegum mint with a hint of something sweet like liquor.
Soon enough, his hands made it's way to her ass, cupping both cheeks and squeezing them hard, causing Jacqueline to pull away again with a yelp. "William Hargrove, behave yourself. We're in public."
"Well you're the one to start this did ya darlin'? And I'm always one to finish things, even in public." He whispered in her ear, sending chills down her spine as his hands stayed on her ass for a minute before they made their way to her hands, spinning her around so he could hug her from behind.
"Now let's show my girl our new kingdom, shall we?"
Once she replied with a small nod, the two was off. They walked down the hall, body against body, his hands firmly on her waist to show who she belonged to for the lingering eyes around them.
Billy showed her around every bits of pieces of the school and where to avoid at all cost, but every hallway they stepped into, they were greeted with more stares.
Confusion, fear, jealousy, envy, you name it. Their eyes had it all as everyone continued to stare and whisper amongst each other. Jacqueline couldn't hear it all but she heard enough, they hated her, they was jealous of her, but wanted to be her. To them, she's just the new girl in town, the slut that got her hands wrapped around their man.
But little did they know, they would always be little hookups/one night stands in Billy's eyes but when it came to her? She was his everything.
The little tour finally came to a end once they stopped at Jacqueline's first period, sadly they didn't have any morning classes together but luckily they had lunch, gym, and two afternoon classes together. That should be enough right?
Wrong. Knowing Billy, he'd probably skip his classes just to stay by her side, he wasn't the clingy type, no, he just couldn't stand the thought of his girl talking to any guy that wasn't him or that he proved of. And since he just got her back, he definitely wasn't going to leave her side, not even if she nagged, whine, and beg for him to go to class. He's staying with her for the whole day rather she or anyone likes it or not.
"Darlin'" He whispered with a seductive smirk following as he opened the door for her, shutting it directly in a guy's face as he walked behind her with her hand in his.
"Go farther in the back."
"Why?" She questioned, but still doing what he told her to, not bothering to look at him because she already knew the answer to his question.
"You know why darlin'." He had a wide smile on his face as she led him to the back, his tongue gliding across his bottom lip once his eyes landed on the way her ass moved in her shorts.
If anyone is confused by what he meant, you won't be for long.
Once they were seated, his hand was immediately on her thigh, his hold was tight but comforting and inviting, it gave her butterflies, making her body flush with heat as his hand slowly made its way closer and closer to her clothed pussy. Once it reached it's target, his hand was trapped between her legs, not daring to move because she knew if she part them just a little bit, Billy fucking Hargrove would finger here right here in class with no fucks in mind.
That's the kind of man she was dating, the one she was so deeply in love with.
"Oh c'mon Jackie, let go of my hand. Let me finish what you started, let me make you feel good." Once again, he said everything in a whisper in her ear, his breath tickling it as he spoke with that stupid smirk of his.
Inside, her body was practically screaming for him to just fuck her right there, right now but on the outside? She was surprisingly keeping her composure even though she could feel herself breaking any minute now.
"Already I got you begging to touch me, huh Hargrove? You missed me that much?" She fought back with the same energy as him. It was a bad idea though, but definitely sexy.
"In a minute I'll have you beg me not to stop, it's either do as I say no, or- I'll make it worse later on." He was dead serious this time, his eyes burning into the side of her head as she kept her eyes forward on the teacher.
"You better keep that promise Hargrove."
°°°°
As time went by, the two stayed inseparable, all the way to last period which was gym. Billy went ahead to go change for basketball practice while Jacqueline went to grab her things from her locker, not expecting to see a familiar face leaning against it.
"Billy? Billy fucking Hargrove? Really?!
"What do you ever so mean Steven?" She questioned playfully, pretending not to know what he meant.
"You know what I mean. You're dating Billy? When did this happen? Why didn't you tell me?!" He was throwing questions at her left and right, but the questions didn't bother her, it was his tone. How he was yelling at her like she owed him a explanation for her business.
"You never asked." She said dismissively with quickly gathering her belongings which only made Steve more pissed off.
"I didn't- oh I didn't ask huh? Yeah, whatever, but why him? I mean he's nothing but asshole." He kept going and by every second, she herself was getting pissed off.
"What is your problem Steve? I shouldn't have to explain myself to you, we're not dating, we didn't hook up, nor did I lead you on! I don't know what kind of problem you and my boyfriend have but I don't want to fucking be apart of it. I want to be your friend Steven! Or at least I'm trying to be but you just keep giving me reasons to just stay away from you! I don't know you like that and you don't know me so just chill out. Okay?"
Once she was done yelling at him, she could immediately feel the whole atmosphere change, it was like all the hairs on her neck stood up. And by Steve's face of disapproval and anger, she knew Billy was right behind her.
"Is there a problem Harrington?"
°°°
Annnnnd there's the cliffhanger. Yeah, Steve definitely going to get his ass beat, that's not going to be a good look in front of Jackie now will it?
