[There'd be whispers no matter what Billy did - fresh meat? Hawkins High was starving for it - but the reputation he'd kicked off for himself certainly doesn't help. Whether or not he gives a shit, it does draw attention - perhaps more than just being new.
Either way, Hawkins was bound to get tired of the same old act. It would chew Billy up and spit him back out, and it wouldn't even have the decency to fake guilt over it.
In another life, maybe Billy wasn't so bad. Maybe Billy wasn't on Steve's perpetual shit list, maybe, hell, maybe they got along (unlikely in any life, but hey, keep the dream alive).
Steve shrugs again, kicking another rock which disappears into the leaves.] Maybe. Maybe not. But I'm Hawkins born and bred it's - hard to imagine anywhere else.
[Steve blows out a sigh as they finally reach the field, which still has vestiges of last Friday's tipi day before the football game. Toilet paper is strewn through the trees, along the ground; a testament to how often they win, at Hawkin's High.] So what's stopping you?
