The thunder was still rumbling outside. Steve was just getting ready to leave. "Are you sure you have to go?" I asked him he looked at me and leaned closer.

"I was going to unless you want me to stay." He said to me while leaning back on my bed. I turned my head to the side.

"Only if you want to. I can give you a spare blanket and a pillow." I said to him and he smiled.

"Now, I'd like that Solace." I said to him and just like that he stayed the night. On the floor. If he was caught in my bed I would be skinned alive in the morning. Once it got morning Steve left and I headed for breakfast.

"How was last night?" I asked Hunter with a smile he looked at me and started to tell me everything.

"And that was the campaign. How was studying?' He asked me, I looked at him.

"It was interesting." I said to him before we headed to school. I saw Eddie.

"Solace, are you prepared for your test?" He asked me, I looked at him.

"Not at all. Test me." I said while handing him my cards. He looked at them.

"There's too many cards." He said to me while flipping them all over. Once we saw Steve he handed my cards back and started walking the other way.

"Seriously Munson." I said to him as he walked away.

"I've got class." He said to me making me shake my head and I walked towards Steve.

"Are you still studying?" He asked while taking my cards from me. I crossed my arms.

"Not in the slightest, I just haven't made it to my locker yet." I said to him while putting my head to the side. He just looked at me.

"Well, you've got this, so you don't need to look at this anymore. Now, on yo more important matters. My dad has left town on a conference and my mom's gone with him, 'cause you know, she doesn't trust him." Steve said to me, I said Tommy look at him.

"Good call." Tommy said to him with a smile.

"So are you in?" He asked me I looked at him.

"If this is you asking me to a party, Harrington. I thought you knew better than to ask because I always turn up." I said to him, he smiled.

"I knew you'd be in." He said to me before Nance and Barb came over. He invited Nancy over as well. That's when we saw Jonathon putting posters up.

"Oh, God, that's depressing." Steve said as we looked at Jonathan.

"Should we say something?" Nancy asked us, it was probably best to leave him alone.

"I don't think he speaks." Steve's other friend said to us.

"How much you want to bet he killed him?" Tommy asked making Steve push him.

"Shut up." Steve said before Nancy went over to him. Once the school bell rang I was away.

"Attention, faculty and students. At 8:00 p.m. tonight, there will be an assembly on the football field in support of Will Byers and his family. All are encouraged to attend. Volunteer sign-ups for search parties are still available in the office." The lady of the P.A. said to us. When I was handed my test paper I was already forgetting what I'd learnt and revised. I was just looking forwards to the party later on. And once this shitty school day was over I went home.

"Y/n, can you drive me to the assembly?" Hunter asked while knocking on my door. I finished spraying my perfume.

"Yeah, I'll drive you but you'll have to walk home." I said to him before dinner was served. I went downstairs.
