ANATASIA WAS SAT IN THE PASSENGER SIDE OF Steve's car, with Robin in the back. Robin had been freaking out since the moment they got into the car that didn't look good, despite her being one of the prettiest people Anna had ever met. Robin was worried how Vickie, her new crush, was going to perceive her as. After everything that went down the previous year the Starcourt Mall, Robin had confided in Steve through coming out to him. It didn't take her long to tell Anna, who simply nodded and hugged her and for the first time in her life, Robin felt accepted.

Anna herself had also confided in Robin about her grievance to Hopper's death and how it still affected her more than she showed it. It wasn't like Anna couldn't tell Steve, because she knew he would always be there to comfort her, it's just that she needed to just tell someone other than him, to make them understand that she was far from being happy.

The ache in her heart never left. And she almost wanted to scream out about it, she wanted to scream that she missed her dad without receiving sympathetic looks and hugs. Anna just wanted someone to tell her that everything was okay, and she was allowed to grieve.

That's how Robin and Anna formed a friendship like no other, with Robin being the third wheel most of the time and even Steve finding himself rolling his eyes at the two girls flirtatious humor, all three of them had finally come out of their shell. They were also extremely grateful that they didn't need to deal with the Upside Down anymore after Billy sacrificed himself to the Mind Flayer.

Steve drove down the vacant road, his hand holding onto the side of his face as his other tapped onto the wheel. Robin was fixing her hair, and applying some makeup, despite not needing it. "And then, Tobias walked back into the store, with his sister trailing behind him buying even more movies. I mean, where do they even have the time to watch them all?" Anna nodded her head, not entirely listening to anything her boyfriend had to say. While Steve and Robin still worked at the radio rental store, Anna managed to get herself a job at a small dinner just down the block from her apartment. "Are you two even listening?!"

"Yes, you said something about a guy coming into the store with a girl." Robin sighed, she was tired of hearing Steve complaining about their customers, despite her secretly hating them too.

"What?! Anna, where you listening?" Steve inquired, turning his head to the side to see her staring blanking at him. "You have got to be kidding me!"

"Cut me some slack, please!" Robin groaned, pushing her hands down her face. "You weird obsession with our customers has got to stop now, it is going to end this friendship! It is seven in the morning, we have the stupid pep rally, and I woke up looking like a corpse."
