"The Freak" an Eddie Munson Fanfiction

Chapter 1: Hawkins 1986

It was time...
You decided to pack your things and head to
a new life, in a small town; with new intentions, new faces, and a new perspective. You wanted out. You were on the road heading to Indiana to fulfill that space of yourself that was once there. You felt alone, you have nobody to go to when you have theses nightmares. Nobody to talk to when you feel the guilt. You were a senior in high school with no parents.. they were gone due to this tragic incident that you believe you caused. I reach over to the glove box of my '84 mustang and take some Tylenol to relieve this painful headache I'm feeling, I've been feeling them a lot lately. I sat there for a moment close my eyes and took a deep breath and then put the car in drive and started my journey to Hawkins. A fresh start, a new beginning, what is the worst that could happen, right?....

7 hour drive later

I finally reach my new home as I pull into the trailer park and unload all my boxes from the moving vans that were already at my trailer. I unlock the keys to my new home when suddenly I heard a loud noise from across the street from a car door closing and I saw a guy with long wavy hair, a Jean vest with a leather jacket underneath, and black jeans. I couldn't see the front of him since he was facing the other way, but he was leaning on his van smoking a joint and then proceeded to walk up to his trailer front door and unlock the door and shut it behind him. I turn back to my front door not wondering who he was and I finally unlock the door to reveal a empty space to start up a new life alone. I continue to inbox my belongings til I found a picture of my parents and I. I started to tear up and smile at the thought of the memory from this picture on that day. I miss them so much. I wish I could've saved them, everything is my fault. My small smile turned into me breaking down as I sit there on the floor with my head in my hands contemplating what I should've done. I take a deep breath again and then wiped my tears away and finished unpacking.

Later that night

I ordered pizza after a long day of packing and then decided to shower until I heard a knock on the front door of my trailer. I jumped at the noise and turned off the shower and put my robe on and go open the front door with just my head poking out so who ever was at the door wouldn't see me in my robe. As I open the door it was the guy from across the street earlier.

Eddie: "uh hey- uh I'm Eddie; Eddie Munson (he gives out his hand from me to shake it) uh hey are you new here I've never seen you around here before?"
Y/N: "uh hello, I'm y/n and yeah I just moved in today..uh- did you need something ?
I looked at him with a confused look still with my head poking out.
Eddie: "yeah, I was just making coming over to introduce myself, not to often you seen new people move into Hawkins you know? This place is not too intriguing, pretty boring I might add." He said as he laughed and I laughed with him
Y/n: "ah well, I kind of moved here for a fresh start. I moved here from Arizona."
Eddie: "Ah, interesting choice to move here, so uh you go to school or?"
Y/n: "yeah, I start Hawkins high school tomorrow. Pretty nervous about it with a bunch of new people. How about you?"
Eddie: "Ah that's awesome, I go there too. Well it's like my third year going strong as a senior (we both snickered at the statement he made) *he continued talking* " but this year is my year to leave that shit hole of a school. I'm not the most beloved person there"
I furrowed my eyes in confusion
Y/N: " why's that?" I ask genuinely concerned
Eddie: " People hate me cause I like to play a fantasy game, but everyone thinks of the game as some sort of satanic ritual and it's some kind of cult and also cause I sell drugs, but at least I'm getting paid, right? He laugh and I smile, then I continue
Y/n: "well, so far I think you're awesome
He smiled and blushed at my statement
Eddie: "really?" He asked with a innocent expression on his face
Y/N: "yeah of course, I mean I just met you and you don't seem like a freak at all. You're super cool." I blush and smile and he returns the same expression.
Y/N: "well, uh I gotta head to bed. Gotta get to school tomorrow you know? First day" I laugh
He laughs too and looks down at his shoes
Eddie: " yeah, we'll it was nice meeting you, it was nice talking to you. See you at school tomorrow? I could give you a ride ?"
My eyes grow wide at the offer
Y/n: "oh um sure thank you!" I give him a wide smile and we both said out goodnights and I close the door and press my back again the door as I shit it behind me and damn he was so cute I didn't think he would be so admiring. Am I already developing a crush or some sort of feeling with him. I just need to go to sleep and get ready for tomorrow.
