El looked super excited, as we wait for Mike to show up. I'll admit, I was excited, too. My feelings for him had grown and i know they shouldn't be. "You seem happy, I smiled. "I'm finally seeing Mike! She exclaims.

"Yeah, he sure is excited to see you! I exclaim, keeping her happy. Suddenly, we heard some big news.

"Flight 623 just landed from Indianapolis and will be arriving in gate 2."

El's eyes widened with excitement, and mine did too. I shouldn't be, Mike could be an asshole sometimes, but he still was my best friend.

"Flight 623 from Indianapolis at gate 2."

El looked up, seeing her tall boyfriend. He had grown a lot since she last saw her. I was sort of shocked too, I thought he would stay short forever. "Mike! El squealed, rushing over and hugging him.

I smile. "Oh careful, careful, careful, Mike chuckled. "You're squishing your present." He doesn't look too happy, but i could be wrong. "It's a gift, Mike adds, holding flowers. "I, uh handpicked those for you in Hawkins, I know you liked Yellow but now I'm realizing it's too much yellow, and I know you also like purple so i got purple as well."

I see El momentarily frowns, i see his note, and i understand why. He didn't even say Love, Mike. Just, From Mike. I sighed. Mike smiles. "So I kinda did like, a 70/30 split thing." El grins. "They're perfect."

"Hey Mike, I smile. He smile."Hi (Y/n), Wow you look so... different." I chuckle nervously."um, Thanks?" We hug, before he goes over to everyone else. It's hard being in love with Mike when he is with your sister.

I do know one thing though, my nightmares have just begun. Second, My nightmares arent memories, it might be the future, or a warning.

"Don't mind Argyle, I tell Mike. He nods. "Got it." I bit my lower lip nervously, thinking about last nights dream. Did i wake up just in time? "(Y/N), you okay? Will asks. "I'm fine, I lied. He nods, although he questions me slightly, before keep on going.

El smiled."I have our whole day planned out. First, El Rodeo for Burritos." Mike laughed. "What, really? Burritos for breakfast?" El nodded. "Yes, Trust me." I giggled. "Burritos are good, Mike." "Yeah, No, I.... I trust you, Mike says." It's just, you know, a little weird."

"Then, after burritos, El started. "I want to go to Rink-O-Mania." "Rink-O-Mania, Mike responds. "Okay, What's Rink-O-Mania?" "How do you not know? I chuckle. "It is the most fun place in Leonora."

"They have skating and games,El pipes in. "Sounds awesome! Mike exclaims. "Are your friends gonna meet us?" Will looked confused. "Friends, What Friends?" I gave him a look. "You know, Stacy and Angela, I tell Will. I knew, and Will knew, that was a lie.

"Angela? El says. "You'll meet them, I promise. Just not today, I want today to be about me and you." I roll my eyes, being a third wheel sucked. Did Mike see me as what i was? El was lucky, Her powers were gone.

Mine, were still there, lurking around.

"Where are you going, (y/n)? Will asked. "Bathroom, I reply. He nods, but i know he isn't pleased either. My massive migraine was getting to me. Even though I should have fun, i can't. Jealousy? Maybe.

I sighed, deciding to not. I'll just try to enjoy. Going to get skates, I groan seeing El and Mike skating together. Angela, ugh, She's here too. Just try to enjoy it, I thought. It might be impossible, but whatever.

"Oh (Y/N)? You're here? Angela exclaims, approaching you. I sighed."Hi." "Look, You are so cool so i like, forgive you and everything, She giggles. Is she seriously blushing? Oh no. "Um, I appreciate the compliment but i should go skate... I tell her.

She smiles, waving flirtatiously even though the homophobia here is awful. Entering the rink, I approach Will. "You won't believe this, I tell Will. "Nothing is worse than third-wheeling, He mutters.

"Tell me about it, I mutter. "Angela likes me, romantically! I tell him. His eyes widen in surprise. "Her? Straightest person I've ever seen." "Me too! I laugh. El and Mike giggle, holding hands. I was so focused i almost slipped.

"Whoa, be careful (Y/n), Will told you. I gave him a warm smile. "Thanks, Will." He nods." So, do you want to chat?"

"Sure."

I have too much fun chatting with Will I don't even notice Mike giving death glares to Will. I keep giggling.

"You're really funny Will."

"Thanks."

Suddenly, My migraine came back and I groan. "I'm going to the bathroom again." Will nods. "Want me to wait?"

"No. It's fine." 

Will sighs, then goes closer to me."i might just stop, it isn't fun being the third wheel, Plus, I'm kind of hungry." I softly smile, then go to the restroom. My head hurt so much as i groaned, hearing his voice again.

"They don't deserve you, 010, You know that, don't you?"

I groan. "What do you want? I don't understand." 

"You'll see, very soon ten. You deserve so much better, so much potential. Never noticed, never loved. I have always been there for you. Don't you want it?" 

His smooth, hypnotic like voice, I manage to get out of it, running out of the bathroom. Still, what did he mean? I cant listen to him, not when i don't know what his intentions are. "(Y/n)! Mike says, waving as i go over there.

"We got your favorite, El smiles. I smile too." Thank you, El." She nods, milkshakes were amazing, but it reminded me of Scoops Ahoy, god i miss that place. "Do you feel better? Will asks. I nod, El and Mike look confused, but i shrug. 

Recently, I trust Will more than anything. I grin. "Happy Birthday, Will! I almost forgot to give your present. Will smiles, someone remembered his birthday. Even though I escaped, hearing in my head,

"You'll see me again, tonight."

I shivered, but took a deep breath. Will exclaimed, "New paint set, thank you so much (Y/N)!" I nod, then look over.

Angela.
