pudding & milk

Lucas was holding Leahs hand rubbing circles with his thumb. The two looked up when they heard the doors bust open.

"They're gone." Mike said annoyed.

"What?" Lucas asked in confusion.

"Nancy and Jonathan. His car's gone." Mike explained.

"They're probably just sucking face somewhere." Dustin shrugged.

"What does that mean?" Leah asked turning towards Lucas.

"Ummmm..."

Lucky for him Mike cut him off. "No. No way!" Mike shook his head.

"No." El stated.

"What? Did you see them? Do you know where they went?" Mike asked.

"Yes." El replied.

"Where? Where did they go?" Mike demanded.

"Demogorgan."

The boys started to argue over the safety of Mikes sister.

"Guys, guys." Mike hushed the other boys. "This is crazy. We can't just wait around."

"We're fugitives, they're still looking for us." Lucas tried to reason.

"Exactly. We're still fugitives." Leah agreed. "The bad men are still looking for us."

Dustin nodded. "Yeah, and we don't even know where your sister is."

"El can find them." Mike responded.

"Mike, look at her." Dustin gestured at the girl. "She looks terrible."

"She'll get better, right?" Mike asked hopefully.

"The point is, I still think we should stick to the chiefs plan." Dustin huffed.

"Exactly." Lucas nodded. "We stay here, keep Leah and El out of sight, and keep them safe. That's the most important thing, remember. Besides, she's okay, she's with Jonathan."

"Yeah, and she's kinda a badass now, so..."Dustin murmured, getting up and walking towards the doors.

"Well, where are you going?" Mike asks Dustin. "You said stick to the plan!"

"I am." Dustin replies. "I'm gonna go get some chocolate pudding. I'm telling you lunch lady Phyllis hoards that shit."

"Are you serious?" Lucas asks as he stands up to follow Dustin out of the gym.

Leah got up too, deciding to follow the boys, she was kinda thirsty.

"Are you serious?" Mike hollered as the three kids left the gymnasium.

"El needs to be recharged!" Dustin yelled back.

Upon entering the cafeteria Dustin and Lucas made beeline for kitchen in search of the pudding. Leah followed close behind then looking curiously around the room.

"Yes!" Dustin yelled. "I knew she was hoarding it. I knew it."

"Yeah."

"Always lying, saying she's out. Bald faced liar." Dustin continued.

Dustin suddenly whips around yelling over his shoulder. "Mike! I found the chocolate pudding!"

"Okay!" Mike tells back sounding annoyed. Dustin, not fazed, scooped as many pudding cups as he could into his arms.

Leah looked over at Eleven seeing her softly talk to Mike, before turning back around heading into the kitchen. Although before she could get very far a voice startled her causing her to turn around.
