Summary
Nancy hesitantly picked up the rotary phone from her bedside table, her hands still trembling as she resigned herself to dialing the ever-familiar number. She bit her lip, trying not to think too hard about what she was doing.
After a few rings, a groggy voice rang through the speakers. "Robin Buckley speaking, and you better have a good reason for calling at two in the morning, because I swear to God if this is a telemarketer --"
"Robin," Nancy cut her off, trying to stabilize her own voice before she continued. "Not a telemarketer. It's -- it's me."
"Nance?" Robin's voice grew soft with worry, and Nancy felt her shoulders relax. She tried to ignore the warmth that rose to her cheeks. "What's the matter? Are you okay?"
"I'm home," she replied, her voice still quiet, a whisper underneath the screams of stop inside her own head. "Can you come over?"

Or, Nancy can't sleep and Robin is her first call.

Summary
The words tumbled out of her mouth before she could stop them. "Y' wanna know a secret?" Nancy giggled, her eyes aching dully. She knew she should stop talking, at this point, but it was as if she couldn't move her own mouth. "As to why I broke up with Jonathan, I mean?"
"Why is that?" Robin asked through her own giggles. Once one of them started, neither of them could stop. Despite the laughter, though, she seemed genuinely curious, laying her cheek deeper into her palm, her lips stretching upwards to meet it.
"I kinda wished he was a girl." And then Nancy burst out in full-body cackles, like it was the funniest thing she'd ever heard herself say. As if she was ridiculous. A secret she had kept bottled up for years, out in the daylight so suddenly. Almost involuntarily. She couldn't help but laugh, and so she did, until tears began to well up in her eyes.
When she finally caught her breath, she realized this time, Robin wasn't giggling back at her.

Summary
Robin showed up at her door on a Thursday afternoon, no warning, and said, "Want to walk?" Nancy grabbed her jacket without answering because the alternative was sitting in the living room while her mother and Joyce Byers made small talk and pretended everyone was fine, and Nancy would rather freeze to death than do that for another hour.
