MARCY'S eyes widened, as she saw many bikes and a few skateboards in the parking lot, looking around for if she would spot a certain girl she wanted to see. Her and Cooper were really excited to play games, but Marcy wasn't really happy about the fact that they skipped school today. Marcy glanced at Cooper, who was looking at something with his eyes widened. She looked at the figure he was staring at, spotting Max standing in front of the arcade, and excitedly hopping off of the rock to approach the two.

"What- are you doing here?," Cooper asked and started walking towards the girl, forgetting to tie his bike, so it almost fell, but Marcy was quick to catch it. "Aren't you supposed to be at school?," He asked again, the girl rolling her eyes. "It's already over. And why did you two not show up? i was- uhm- any- anyway-," Cooper looked at Max suspiciously, before taking his bike harshly out of Marcy's hands and walking it to the parking lot.

"What's wrong with you?," Marcy whispered as she approached the boy, her face features seemingly frowning in anger.

"Nothing," Cooper replied and put his bike. "Spill." He angrily told Max and she nodded, as she started explaining something.

"Woah," Cooper confessed his emotions at once, rubbing his chin to take in all the information he could. It made his brain hurt. Meanwhile, Marcy was paling and sweating, wiping her nose violently as she realized it was happening, again.

"We should talk tk Mi-,"

"Wait, wait, wait- did Joyce take Will home?," Cooper's interest perked up, and Marcy felt out of the situation, starting to feel her heartbeat increasing.

"Yeah, she did, she actually appeared right when Will had his episode or whatever," Max explained as she fixed her hair and crossed her arms, watching cars flow one by one on the road. Cooper sat down on the ground, sighing, as he looked up at Marcy and facepalmed.

"It's not what you think it is, Marcy," Valentine was literally shaking, as she remembered everything that happened in the upside down. She wanted to forget, but she couldn't. It only added to stress of the everyday life in Hawkins.

"We should talk to Mike, Cooper," Marcy repeated again, Cooper shaking his head, as he was trying not to make his best friend panic, not after what she has been through. "It's alright, i'm telling you!," Cooper felt his anger peak it's level when Marcy stood up and took her bike from the parking lot, feeling a little too overwhelmed with the situation.

"Really, Cooper? a slimy creature? Will couldn't back from his episode?, This doesn't go right with me and you know my experience; my intuition about this is strong," Marcy said as Cooper realized this was the first time she spoke without stuttering or worse, stopping in the mid-sentence.

"Okay, okay, but don't go now," He almost demanded, and Marcy froze in her tracks. "Let's talk about this tomorrow. Everyone." Cooper said as he looked at Max too, and she nodded her head, finally not feeling left out by anyone. By the party, by Cooper and Marcy, who in the first place, were the people she got to know and they never left her side.
