IN WHICH THEA VIGIL, A HEARTBROKEN GIRL WITH FIRE IN HER EYES, FALLS HARD FOR STEVE HARRINGTON, THE JOCK WITH THE GREAT HAIR AND THE KILLER SMILE.
or
Thea Vigil knew two things; Love really fucking hurts and Steve Harrington was a complete and utter asshole.
How does she know these things you ask? Well, dear reader, Thea Vigil has had one too many experiences with these things. Firstly, When Aaron Montgomery, the boy she has loved since freshman year, breaks up with her the summer before junior year because he needs his "space", (alternatively, he wants to get into some sophomores pants but doesn't want the guilt of cheating killing his vibe.) she learns that love really does fucking hurt.
Secondly, when Steve Harrington is her next door neighbor, she kinda has to deal with his bullshit on a daily basis. There was nothing Thea hated more than Steve Harrington's charming smile and flirtatious eyes. Thea was sure that Steve had made it his life goal to make her life a living hell with his snarky comments and backhanded compliments. But, even Thea Vigil couldn't deny the butterflies that seemed to riot in her stomach when Steve Harrington looked at her with those damned eyes.
With killer creatures, really annoying kids, teenage romance, and the worst of all, Steve fucking Harrington, Thea Vigil is thrown into a world of things she could have only wished were fake.
