          "I actually don't know what I would do without you, Eddie." I laughed as we both hopped out of his van. He offered to drive me to school because I didn't have a ride. Steve told me he was way too busy with work, so I was forced to find another route. I debated whether or not I should give him a hug. But I did, anyway. "Thank you." I said and he smiled down at me. Before he could say anything I spotted Robin, who was exiting a car with my brother in the drivers seat. Steve.

"That son of a bitch." I whispered

"I gotta go catch up to Robin. See you later!" I yelled to Eddie as I made my way over to her.

"Steve drove you to school?!" I said in complete shock as he made up a whole excuse to why he couldn't drive me.

"Yeah? As usual..?"

"He told me he was too busy to drop me off." I said, annoyed as Robin started at me with her mouth in an "o" shape.

Today was the day of the pep rally. "Anyways...you look so good today!" I told her. "Are you kidding? I woke up looking like a total corpse." Of course, I knew she would panic over spending time with Vickie. I playfully pushed her, because I know she could never look bad, even if she tried. "Trying to impress someone?" I said with a wink. "Maybe... What about you? You look different."

"Ah, please. As if." I shrug it off. I knew my attempt was a little too obvious. Today was the final campaign for the Hellfire Club. I was hoping Eddie and I would spend time together afterwards, so I applied a little more make-up than usual.

"Don't panic, alright? I already told you, I totally thinks she likes you back."

Robin sighed as I let out the last part. "That's exactly what Steve told me. Like, literally five seconds ago. Except... he tried convincing me by telling me she returned Fast Times at 53 minutes and 5 seconds..."

"So? What does that mean?"

"Please... Don't make me say it. Not here!" She pleaded and I gave her a look. "Fine. He told me that she definitely likes... boobies." I broke out into laughter. Robin made sure to whisper the word boobies so nobody would hear her.

"I know I'm supposed to be upset with him right now, but I must say, it's a very good point."

The pep rally went well, I guess.

Jason, who must really think he's the shit went on about how people like Billy and Hopper didn't die in that mall fire for them to lose their basketball game. I rolled my eyes a little too hard when he said that. Seriously?

But of course, I knew they didn't die in a mall fire.

Robin and I met up for our lunch time and decided to sit down with the Hellfire Club. We walked in to see Eddie on top of a lunch table, and I widened my eyes and gave Robin a look of concern. "Guess we were too late for the show." Robin said to me as he hopped off the table, still talking to his friends.

Dustin, Mike, and Eddie all sat at the Hellfire table, along with a few other members. Even though Eddie always invited us to sit with him, we usually sat alone at a different table. Of course, I knew Dustin and Mike as we had gone through some really terrible shit together, but it felt too awkward. As I sat down, I noticed that they were all staring at us as if we were aliens. "Oh, hey. Is Hellfire tonight?" Robin asked, curiously.

"Yes!" They all replied in sync.

"That reminds me. Eddie, can I please have one of those Hellfire shirts?"

"Are you going to play?"

"No.."

"Then no can do, sweetheart."
