Ad text

"It started as a bet." Billy said it as he leaned against the hood of his blue Camaro in the diner parking lot, looking down at his shoes. My older brother Steve is popular at our high school. Billy moved to our town, Hawkins, earlier this year. The two of them hate each other. Billy picks fights, drives recklessly, and acts like he owns everyone. Steve told me never to speak to him. He thinks Billy is just cruel. I stayed away from Billy until three weeks ago. I was walking behind the school gym and saw him sitting on the curb alone. His lip was cut and his cheek was swollen. His father is violent, and people in town talk about it. Billy looked small and tired, and his hands were shaking. I sat down next to him on the pavement. I did not ask any questions. I just gave him half of my sandwich and sat with him until his hands stopped shaking. After that day, Billy started seeking me out. We met behind the library and parked out by the quarry so nobody would see us together. Away from other people, he stopped acting mean. He told me about his mother leaving him in California and how scared he was of his father. He listened when I talked. I started to like him. I thought I was the only person who knew the real Billy. Then this morning, his friend Tommy stopped me by my locker. Tommy laughed and asked if Billy had spent the fifty dollars yet. When I asked what he meant, Tommy told me the truth. Billy had bragged to his friends that he could get Steve Harrington's little sister to fall for him before the end of the month. It was a fifty-dollar bet to humiliate my brother. I felt sick all day. I asked Billy to meet me behind the diner tonight so he could look at me and tell me Tommy made it up. He did not make it up. Billy told me he took the money three weeks ago, before I ever sat with him behind the gym. Steve had pushed him in the hallway that morning, and Billy wanted to hurt Steve's pride. But Billy swore that the bet stopped mattering the second I was nice to him. He said nobody had ever sat with him when he was hurt without wanting something in return. He told me he fell in love with me, and that he hated himself for how it started. I do not know what to believe. When we were alone by the quarry, he seemed completely honest. I want that boy to be real. I want to be cared about like that. But I also know he targeted me like a trophy to get back at my brother. If I let this go, I might just be letting him fool me. And if Steve finds out, he will never forgive me. Billy pulls a crumpled fifty-dollar bill from his pocket and puts it on the hood of his Camaro. "That's Tommy's money from the bet," Billy says. "I never spent it. Tell me what to do with it." You decide what happens next. #interactivestory #sagaland
