Hellfire the club is said to be cult-like these days. However I thought it was interesting. A way to escape reality and be someone like yourself but in a different world. Or someone completely different. I often engage in that, daydreaming about different things happening or being another version of myself. I'd thought about joining but it all sounds too nerdy for me. Plus I was scared of what others might think. And that weird guy Eddie is in that club.

" Ms. L/N." My science teacher said he stood in front of me, hands on my desk. I sat up a little. Mr. Lorn opened his mouth to speak but before he could a certain boy came bursting through the door.

" Oo, Sorry about that." Eddie Munson gave a easing face before softly closing the door.

" Mr. Munson, how many more times will you come bursting through my door?" Mr. Lorn didn't even bother to speak to me anymore before walking back to his desk with a tired looking face. Eddie took his seat next to Laren. He had on his signature leather jacket and a blue worn out shirt. His hair untamed. I was always told to never judge someone I don't know but he was constantly proving his told to be freaky behavior.

My heart stopped, I made eye-contact with him. I didn't even realize I was looking at him. I snapped my eyes back to my sheet. I could still see his eyes looking in my direction. I had no doubt he was looking over here.

I kept my eyes on my paper hoping his eyes would leave me but they didn't not for a good minute. Maybe he was looking at something behind me despite the thought I kept my eyes on my paper. Class ended fast enough I headed to lunch, I sat down on the opposite side of Robin whose mouth was moving 10 miles per hour while talking to Vickie who was smiling while listening.

" And that's why Steve got his license suspended. Why Y/n needs a ride home and I need a ride to the store!" Robin ended in a small sigh and smile.

Vickie chuckles lightly, " I'd be happy too."

I gasp a little, " No way, Steve got his License suspended. Why am I not surprised."

" I'm gonna tell him you said that." Robin sassed me putting her arm on the table.

" Of course you are." I groan Vickie pats my back. " Cheer up, you get to ride in the Vick-mobile."

"What color is your car?"

"..Green." I rest my head in my hand with a simple smile. I have an idea.

" Actually I have a ride already!"

" Really?" Vickie's eyebrows furred. " With who?"

Robin gave me a warning look as I swung my hand shaking my head, " Don't worry about it."

" But-"

" Don't! You ladies have fun though."

As the end of the day rolled around I was really fucked. I didn't have a ride in fact I didn't know anyone else who drove besides Nancy who is most of the time here. But she's gone today. I already tried asking some random people for a ride but they all seemed to be full.

I stood outside the school watching people pull off in their cars while I stood there. I could just wait for my mom to be off work but she gets off late, I'd be here for hours. But so be it, I wasn't gonna walk home.

And so I sat there reading when I heard the metal of the doors opening slamming against the door stoppers. Boys yelling in the distance. I look to see Eddie and his Hellfire friends.

The boys all got together practically yelling thanks at each other before dispersing. Mike and Dustin hopped into Mrs.Wheeler's car. This was my chance I shove my stuff into my bag shouting.

" Mrs.Wheeler!" She was already pulling away. I sigh. I guess it's fine I don't even know Mike or his mom like that.

A voice comes from behind me, " Damn that must suck." I turn to see one of Eddie's friends. The mouthbreather is what I call him.

I glare over at the guy, " Save it."

Then Eddie himself comes from the side of the van. In all his glory hair blowing in the wind, he puts a blunt between his lips.

Shit, I start walking away. I might as well walk.

" Woah, Hey. Hold on, I don't bite." I can hear his smile but I don't stop, I keep walking. Gripping my backpack.

" Need a ride?" I stopped, was he really offering me a ride? What if him and his friends try to do something to me? I turn to look at the boy. He raised his eyebrows hands in his pockets.

" I promise I'll get you home safe. Your knight in shining armor." He gives me a soft smile.

I'll take the chance. If he drops me off in the middle of nowhere maybe I can sue him. It not like this small interaction was gonna ruin my small reputation I'm gonna work to build. There's nobody around to see it but his friends.

" Fine but You better not try anything. You and your friends" I walk to Eddie's van.

He puts his hands up showing no harm, " I'll be good, best behavior!"

His three friends are already in the van Eddie opens the passenger side. His mouth breather friend sat there.

" Move it." He says waving his hand opposite of the van. " Lady's first."

His friend didn't argue and moved to the back. I got into the van. It smelled interesting..a mix of weed and stank. Smelled better than the jocks after a game though.

He started the van up and heavy metal blast through the van. I didn't even jump, I expected this.

I immediately grabbed the sides of the van, already regretting my decision as he drove out. My whole body was being pulled back against the seat because of how fast he was going. I pointed him the direction of my house on our way there he slows down in front of another neighborhood.

" Mind if we drop these two off." Eddie motions his head to his friends.

I gave him a nod, I didn't mind. It gives him less time to crash this van. All three of his friends end up getting out of the van, two of them saying they have a project to work on.

Eddie turned his music down leaning on the arm rest, " Hope you don't mind being alone with me."

I give him a look and he chuckles, " You drive like a maniac."

" Well you're welcome to get out and walk." He said in a teasing tone. Only then I realized how rude I'd probably come off. I would talk to him once and never again, not even in school. He was being nice and I'd been condescending.

" No, just drive.." My eyes stayed in front of me. I pointed him to my house. He drove slower than he did before. He was more careful.

As he pulled up I unbuckled my seat belt but didn't leave. " I'm sorry for being rude."

" No hard feelings."

I look over at him he kept staring ahead, " My name is Y/N, By the way."

Eddie turned and gave me a small smile, " Eddie Munson, though you probably already know that."

I nod and open his van door, " Thank you." He puts his two fingers to his head in a military solute. I walk up to my door but he doesn't pull off it's only when I get in my house does he leave.

Why did I tell him my name? He wasn't what others made him out to be yet he wasn't acting out like he normally does. Maybe he was tired. Why am I still thinking about him? Let it live in the past.
