Dustin held the dice with 20 numbers on it.
Spent a second rolling it in his hand before letting the little thing roll on the table.
The room tensed up at the dice slowly came to a halt in front of Eddie.
"11"
"No!!"
We had missed. With Dustin now gone, it was completely up to me.
I held the dice. Rattling it around in my hand. Staring intensely at the mini figures displayed on the table in front if me.

I anxiously shook the dice in my hand as the others around me shouted to release and roll it. I finally let go and the room went completely silent. The little red dice fell to the table and for what seemed like an eternity, rolled on and on.
It finally came to a halt, and the number on the dice proudly displayed
"20"
I gasped
"CRIT HIT!!!"

Cheering filled the room as everyone high fived.
"What?! What???" Eddie was shocked
Everyone continued to jump about in excitement,
"Thats why we play!!" Eddie cheered and Gareth and i gave an excitable hug to eachother, before awkwardly pulling away and continuing to celebrate.

Once we all calmed down a little, it was declared that our party won the campaign.
"Vecna and his cultists have been defeated, the the party can live another day. That concludes our campaign." Eddie stated happily.

We all sat around the table for a while happily chatting, i was talking to Gareth and Eddie.
"You are awesome at dnd Y/n!" Gareth said
"Yeah, totally didn't see that one coming" said Eddie playfully
"You know Y/n.. you'd be a pretty great addition to the party.." said Eddie, thinking.
"How old are you?"
"16" i say
"Ah, same as Gareth. So you've got what- a year and a half left. Jeff and I leave next year anyway, we need new additions."

"You said that last year Eds." Gareth said
Eddie frowned and pointed at Gareth.
"Well this year i mean it."
My confused facial expression was enough to motivate Gareth to whisper to me
"He's had to repeat the last 2 years.."
i smiled a little and held in a tiny giggle.

"Anyway. Back to the question. Wanna join Hellfire Club Y/n?" Eddie asked again.
I didn't even really have to think about it.
"Umm- yeah? I would love too."
Eddie smiled and called to the rest of the party.
"Gentlemen, I'm pleased to introduce the newest member of the Hellfire Club."

Dustin and Mike smiled and I happily laughed as they cheered.
"Oh that reminds me! She needs a shirt." Gareth said
Eddie nodded,
"We have a box with some in it in the supply room. Why don't you and Gareth go grab one Y/n."
I looked at him and we both nodded smiling.

Walking happily down the corridor, Gareth almost skipping circles around me, buzzing from the win of the campaign.
"So how often do you guys win campaigns?"
I asked. They all seemed pretty revved up by the whole thing.
He stopped to think.
"Oh, not often to be honest. Well- not like that. That was the most exciting win in ages. You're really awesome at it though.." he said looking at me.
"Thanks. I used to play with my brother and his friends." He smiled while nodding
"Cool."

Once we got to the supply cupboard, I picked out a short sleeved Hellfire t-shirt. And put it on over my long sleeved black skirt.
Gareth stared for a moment.
"Hey, looks great." He said
"These shirts are good- did you guys design them yourselves?" I asked
"Yeah totally. Designed and printed by us." He said
"Cool. Am i allowed to keep it?"
"Oh yeah totally. We wear them to school every day. Kinda like our own uniform." He said
"Sweet. Oh, we should get back."

Once back at the clubroom, everyone happily opened the doors and left on their ways.
"See you guys at school tomorrow?" Mike asked
"Of course." Eddie said
I gave Gareth a quick pat on the shoulder, said bye to Mike, Eddie and Dustin, and walked happily over to my bike to ride home.
