"Is there a number we can call for your parents?" Mike asks.
"Where's  to your hair? Do you have cancer?" Dustin asks. I smack him on the arm.
"Did you run away?" Lucas asks.
"Are you in some kind of trouble?"
"Is that blood?" Lucas leans forward to the girl.
"Stop it!" I say to him.
"Your freaking her out!" Mike says.
"She's freaking me out!" Lucas argues.
"I bet she's deaf." Dustin says. He leans forward and claps his hands in front of her face.  "Not deaf."
"Dustin!" I smack him on the arm again.
"All right, that's enough, all right? She's just scared and cold." Mike says.
"Oh here! I brought extra clothes for the rain." I say. I pull out clothes from my bag and hand them to her. She hesitantly takes them from me and wipes her face. She takes Mikes jacket off and stands. She goes to change.
"No no no!" Mike says. I cover her. "See over there. That's the bathroom. Privacy. Get it?" He points to the bathroom behind us. She takes the clothes I handed her and walks to the bathroom. I walk over with Mike. Mike goes to the shut the door but the girl stops him.
I raise my eyebrows.
"You don't want it closed?" Mike asks.
"No." She says.
"Oh you can speak! Well um..." He looks to me for help.
"Here I'll come in with you. I'll turn around." I say smiling to her. She nods slowly. I go in and close the door. For some reason this girl looks so familiar but I don't know where I know her from. Outside I hear the boys yelling.
"This is mental!"
"At least she can talk!"
"She said yes and no your three year old sister says more."
"She tried to get naked!"
"There's something seriously wrong with her. Like wrong in the head."
"She just went like!"
"I bet she escacped from Pennhurst."
"From where?"
"The nuthouse in Kerley County."
"You got a lot of family there?"
"Bite me! Seriously though think about it. That would explain her shaved hair and why she's so crazy."
"Why she went like..."
"She's an escapee is the point. She's probably a phsyco."
"Hey guys!"
"What Y/N?" Mike asks.
"Did you guys think I was a pyshco when you found me?"
"No..." Lucas says.
"Sureeee.."
"Anyways, you just wanted to leave her out in that storm?" Mike yells at them.
"Yes! We went out to find Will not another problem."
"I think we should tell your mom."
"I second that."
"Who's crazy now?"
"How is that crazy?"
"Cause we weren't supposed to be out tonight remember?"
"So?"
"So if I tell my mom and she tells your mom and your mom and y/n's mom..."
"Oh man."
"Then our houses become Alcatraz." Lucas sighs.
"Exactly, we'll never find Will. Alright here's the plan. She sleeps here tonight."
"Your letting a girl-"
"Just listen! In the morning, she sneaks around my house, goes to the front door and rings my doorbell. My mom will anwser and know exactly what to do. She'll send her back to Pennhurst or whever she comes from. We'll be totally in the clear! And tommorow night we go back out and this time, we find Will." I hear the girl turn around behind me meaning she was done dressing.
"Wow, you look way better in that outfit than I do." I say smiling. She looks at me and then in the mirror. She smiles at me but then looks at me with confusion.
"Come on." I say grabbing her hand gently and taking her from the bathroom. Mike had built the girl a fort. She walks over to it and sits down slowly.
"You like it?" Mike asks her. She nods with a faint smile. "Anyways here you go. This is my sleeping bag." He says handing his sleeping bag to her.
"You really think she's pyscho?" I hear Dustin ask Lucas behind us.
"Wouldn't want her in my house." Lucas says as I hear them walk upstairs quietly.
"Mental." Dustin says before leaving.
"Hey,um, we never asked your name." Mike says to the girl. The girl looks at us. She pulls down my sweater sleve to reveal a number '011.'
"Oh my god." I say. I pull my sleeve down to reveal my number. '012.'
"My name's y/n now since i-" I blurt out.
"Sister." Eleven pulls me into a hug. I smile.
"Well, maybe we call you El short for Eleven." Mike smiles at us but his eyes are slightly sad because he doesn't want me to lose El.
"Yes." Eleven smiles. I found my sister after all that time. My eyes water but I wipe it away.
"Well um... night el."
"Night Mike, night Y/N." She says as Mike puts the blanket down.
