[They most likely aren't paying attention. Everyone is so committed to their conversations to notice. Rather is be getting the daily gossip, tuned into the latest rumor or picking out which pathetic soul to torment in the hallways once lunch is over. Steve's tuned it all out, the noise and the chatter. He's surprised himself that it's been so easy to do when once he used to be so invested in it all.
It's pretty damn peaceful and it gives Steve all the time to realize thar he's officially fallen to the bottom of the food chain.
It doesn't help that he constantly has to see Nancy with Byers, even in the fucking lunch room. How they sit close together, how Byers holds her hand under the table and their fingers lace. Hargrove typically doesn't stay in the cafeteria long once he sets his eyes upon a innocent girl, so at least Steve doesn't have to see his face but Tommy never fails to be as loud and obnoxious as humanly possible.
Jesus Christ.
Munson's words has him snapping back to reality, exhausted eyes flicking back over at the other teen.]
Uh, actually I wanted to ask you something. Word on the street is you got drugs, right?
