Make me Better ~Eddie Munson x Reader~

4. The mission

-------------------------------

I walked into Steve's workplace as I popped a bubble gum, pulling my sunglasses up. I looked around the video store and I reached the reception desk, a girl giving her back at me. I chewed my gum, waiting for her to notice my presence and then I cleared my throat, making her finally turn towards me. I know this girl. Huh... Where do I know her from? I squinted my eyes and she rolled her eyes at me. I faked a smile towards her as I finally remembered her.

"Robin, right?" I asked her and she looked at me as if it was a surprise I remembered her name.

"Yes. May I help you?" She asked me and then I couldn't help but wanting to mess with her. I leaned over the counter, chewing my gum at her.

"You're Nance's friend, right?" I asked her, watching her movements as I said Wheeler's name. She twitched slightly and then continued arranging the cassettes as if it wasn't important.

"Yes, I ask again, how may I help you?" And like that, I lost interest. I scoffed and straightened up.

"Is Steve around?" I asked her and she rolled her eyes, throwing her head back.

"STEVE!" She yelled and I could hear my eardrums pop from how loud that was. I rubbed my ear slightly, feeling it do a sharp noise after that scream and Robin had the nerve to smirk at me. I heard footsteps as someone walked over and I saw Steve coming back from the back of the store. I smiled widely at him and, did he just roll his eyes at me? Did Steve not like me? I remembered he did. He reached us and Robin walked off to one of the shelves to put the VHS she fixed in the correct spot. I smiled at Steve as he reached the desk and I raised my arms up and hugged him tightly across the furniture. He was surprised by it, and hesitantly hugged me back.

"I missed you!" I yelled at him and pulled away to look at his face. He was faking a smile towards me and nodded.

"Yeah, same." He said to me and I noticed the fake tone in his voice. What's going on? Even before graduation he acted kind of distant with the group, but nobody really knew why. I know that what I did to Nancy was wrong, but damn, I did it to avenge him.

"What's wrong?" I asked him, already getting my nerves worked up because of his attitude. He shook his head at me and directed another smile towards me.

"Nothing. What's up?" I could get this information out of his mouth later on, for now, I had to rush to prepare everything for my party, buy the alcohol, prepare the lights and music, etc.

"I was going to invite you to a party I am hosting tonight." I said to him and he looked at me with a frown in his face.

"I am no longer in high school Y/N." He said to me and I shrugged back at him.

"So? You graduated months ago Steve. Everyone in the team misses you! There'll be alcohol, music... girls." I finished saying that last word and his eyebrows shot up, suddenly interested in the idea. I knew I could get him with this, maybe I can hook him up with Chrissy so that she would leave Jason alone for the night. Oh, I am brilliant.

"Okay... I'll be there. Can I bring some friends?" He asked me and I squinted slightly but nodded. I wonder what kind of friends he has now that he is not in high school anymore.

"Fine. Just show up at 8 PM. See ya." I said quickly to him and before I turned around I saw Robin staring at us. I smiled and winked at her, finally walking out of the store. Everyone I met recently despises me. Not that I care, but seriously, I sometimes can be a fun and good person, just not with them.
