Popcorn | Stranger Things Fanfiction

Chapter 1

Camille was always an observer, even in a town where nothing rarely happened. Almost everything that happened around her, whether it was a fight between two students or a couple showing PDA in the hallway, made her feel like she was an extra in a movie. She never belonged in a particular type of group in school. Hawkins High had its fair share of jocks, popular girls, and band geeks, but Camille wasn't sure if she ever considered herself a part of any of them so she was just somewhere in between. Her twelve-year-old sister Candice already had her own group of friends that made up the AV club at her middle school.

"What are you writing about?", Candice asked curiously. Camille tended to type fictional stories with her typewriter that were mostly about science fiction and inspired by the Star Wars trilogy. "Just a story. I'll tell you later", she replied. 

"I don't understand why you couldn't get a ride from your friends", her mom Rita asked.

"What friends?"

"Like Tammy Thompson. What ever happened to her?"

"We were just lab partners, mom"

"Alright", Rita brushed it off. 

"I was thinking of the two of us going to see Cujo this weekend", her dad, Glen said.

"I thought Mom said I'm not allowed to see that"

"I know, but don't tell her", he whispered, and she agreed. 

While at school, Camille sat at a lone lunch table by herself in the cafeteria when she noticed Steve sitting with his girlfriend, Nancy and two friends, Carol, and Tommy. Camille didn't have much of an opinion on Steve except that he seemed like the douchey jock stereotype she'd see in teen movies. She wasn't sure what Nancy saw in him or his stuck-up friends, but she seemed nice.
