What Is Love?

1

Y/N was a straight A' student at Hawkins high. She enjoyed school, mainly because she could escape her dad.

She had little friends, but that didn't really bother her. She had Chrissy.

Chrissy was a popular girl. A cheerleader in fact. And her boyfriend was the captain of the basketball team.

Although y/n wasn't popular, Chrissy seriously loved her. They'd known each other since sophomore year.

Chrissy was there for her when her mom passed. And when her father went back to drinking. Her father was never there for her, even before her mother's tragic death.

Her mother mysteriously disappeared 2 months ago. Her mom worked the night shift at a local cafe, so it was normal when she didn't come home earlier that 10:00.

When y/n woke up for school, her mom still wasn't home. She called her work phone, no answer. Again, no answer. Y/n just decided to head to school.

Her mom never came home. They never found her body, and it was concluded a missing persons case. People started forgetting about her mom after a while, and no one is even trying to look for her anymore.

Ever since then, y/n has tried her hardest to stay focused on school.

...

"Ritual sacrifice, suicide, and even.. murder."
Says Eddie Munson, as he reads the NewsSweet showdown at the cafeteria table.

His friends laugh around him, as y/n listens in from a distance.

"We're the freaks because we like to play a fantasy game..?" Eddie exclaimed, with his arms crossed.

He stands up, and hops up on the table.
"But.." he yells across the cafeteria.

"As long as your into band, or science, or.. parties." He says in a mocking tone.

"Or a game where you toss balls into laundry baskets." He yells.

"You want something freak..?" Jason asks with a pissed tone.

Eddie mimics devil horns with his finger, and sticks his tongue out.

Y/n giggled, and Chrissy looks over at her.

"Prick.." Jason says as he sits back down.

" Don't listen to him babe!" Chrissy says, wrapping her arm around his.

...

Y/n was walking home from school, when she saw Eddie Munson standing on his porch, lighting a cigarette. He had his signature 'hellfire shirt on.

Eddie and y/n lived in the same trailer park for years now, and she has always fancied him.

She noticed her dad's car in the driveway and stood in her spot. She didn't want to go inside. Last time he was home early, it got physical.

She turned to look at Eddie again, and noticed him also looking. She started walking towards him, and out of nowhere, she heard a loud clock ticking like sound.

She looked behind her towards the forest, and got the shivers.

"Hey..!" Says Eddie, making y/n jump in fear. "You alright..? I was calling your name." Eddie says, looking concerned.

"Yeah, totally." Y/n chuckles as she turns around to look at the woods again.

"So.." Eddie interrupts. " What are you doing?" He asks with a smile.

" Well, my dad's home right now.. and I kinda don't want to go inside tonight. Is it okay if I just hang out here..?" Y/n asks with a smile.

"Yeah, totally!!" Eddie says with a smirk while sitting down on his front porch.
