ONCE AGAIN, NEITHER OF THEM HAD NIGHTMARES. When they woke up on Sunday morning, Addie was happy it was before her alarm went off because that meant a little extra time with Billy before he had to go home. 

When she heard her family starting to get up, she had Billy sneak back out of her window and walk around to the front door so she could "let him in", that way no one would be surprised he was there.

They had a lazy morning, eating cereal and then laying in bed until it was just after 9.

"I'll see you later, yeah?" Billy smiled as he pulled Addie closer for a kiss. He said he didn't think he'd be able to come back tonight, but he'd definitely call her later.

Addie was going to go back to sleep but then Will knocked on her door and asked if she could drive him to the arcade because he didn't want to ride his bike. Before she could say no, he beat her to it.

"Please I have money saved up I'll buy you popcorn from the snack bar."

Damn, he really knew how to get her.

"Aaaand a slushie??"

"Okay okay yes let's go!"

Addie spent the beginning of their car ride wondering what was so important about needing to get to the arcade the second they opened. Sure sometimes it was a little crowded, but was the morning crowd that big?

Sure enough, when they pulled into the parking lot, Mike, Lucas, and Dustin were just arriving. And they were the only ones to enter the arcade. Addie settled into a booth near the snack bar and said she'd let Will know when she wanted her popcorn. She planned on letting him keep his money, but he didn't know that yet.

"Do you think Nancy hates me?" She felt like she was going to have a heart attack when Steve plopped down on the seat across from her. Addie had been reading a book, and she didn't even hear him approach.

"Umm... no? Thanks for scaring me by the way. I haven't really talked to her outside of school lately but I don't think so." Addie closed her book, seeing how upset Steve was.

"Are you sure, has she said anything?"

"I promise she has not said anything to me about you. Did you guys have a fight?"

Steve shrugged. "No, not really. Something seems off though, and I don't know what."

"You wanna talk about it?" The hesitation gave Addie her answer. "You wanna buy your best friend a slushie and then she'll kick your ass at Centipede?"

That put a smile on his face. "You're on. But the loser buys the other a slushie."

"How'd you know I was here anyway?"
