#i love the idea of Eddie hotwiring the cars of jocks that threaten him...like 'watch yo girl watch yo ride...he coming for them'

Before Season 4, Eddie was a tentatively harmless) little shit and you can't tell me any different. Wayne's aware of his shenanigans but he's happy to let Eddie make his mistakes and face the consequences himself. (he was the same at his age)

He can hotwire a car. Sure he said he dad taught him as a kid, but to do it so smoothly and confidently under pressure? That boy's done a lot of joyriding, idk what to tell you.

He's a dealer. Chances are he's been arrested for it and talked his way out of it at least once. I'd bet he knows the law to the letter so that he can get away with more than he should. That boy has the gift of the gab, and it's not usually worth the headache dealing with him.

He's living in the trailer park with his uncle so I'm guessing he's poor as shit. I'd also bet that he's a bit of a petty thief. Nothing from people, but from bigger businesses? You betcha. He'll take that t shirt or ring or candy and shove it in his pockets. He'd pay if he had the cash, but he just doesn't.

He's also pretty good with people. (In canon anyway.) If a jock shoves him in the hallway, Eddie's conveniently in the next class flirting with their girlfriend. Weirdly enough, damn successfully. Want a guy to leave you alone? Befriend their girl. 'Johnny just leave him alone'. Etc. (Sometimes he charms too much and he ends up when their number and a very hush hush hookup. Bonus, but his lips are sealed if asked.)

He's not above abusing the prices of his drugs either. Some jumped up rich boy comes to him at a party, half drunk? Getting charged thrice the price at least. Supply and demand. He has the supply AND makes the demands. It's not his fault they're not up for negotiating, and he feels zero guilt. (The ladies usually get discounts though, he's not made of stone.)

Steve, Nancy and Robin are appalled when they find this out post-Vecna. They're all well behaved when they're not saving the world, but Eddie's been arrested. He has a criminal record.

(If Steve gets all hot under the collar when Eddie brings up something he's done that's mildly illegal then no he doesn't, shut the hell up).
