Steve opened the trunk, taking out the buckets of meat and Emmy helped him. Dustin was about to help until he heard something on the walkie talkie.
"...while you were having sister problems, dart grew again" Dustin explained
"What?" Lucas, who's voice Emmy recognized, said
"Yeah, meet us at the junkyard, I'm with Steve and Emmy."
"Steve? Steve harrington? Emmy Wheeler? What—"
"Be there" Dustin cut him off and began walking with the group.

Emmy's mind spaced out as she, Steve, and Dustin were walking along the train tracks, dropping meat along the way to lure the creature
"What do you think, Em?" Dustin asked, snapping Emmy back to reality
"What?" She asked
"Were you not listening? Steve says the key to a girl is acting like you don't care, is that true? Since you're a girl"
"No, well— it's complicated, some girls, sure they're okay with that—they like it. But some girls, they find it really rude and asshole behavior" She said, making Steve's head snap to her side
"Which one are you?" Dustin asked, and Steve mentally thanked him, because he would never ask that question, even though he desperately wanted to know
"I don't find it nice, I prefer a guy that cares, it's sweet and it makes me feel like i'm not the only one in the relationship, or the forming relationship...why do you ask?"
"He likes a girl, which is the whole reason he kept that weird thing that ate his cat" Steve explained
"What?" Emmy said, furrowing her eyebrows
"Yeah, he thought she'd find it cool, which she didn't"
"Oh, sorry Dustin. But you can find other ways to make a girl like you, yknow, ways that don't include keeping a creature that eats animals, or worse, humans" Emmy said as she dropped another piece of meat
"Well, what happens when I do something sweet for her?" Dustin asked
"Well you just wait...then—you feel it" Steve said, continuing his conversation with Dustin while Emmy's mind spaced out again
————
Emmy, Steve, and Dustin dropped all the meat that was left and piled it up right in the middle of yard.
"I thought I said medium well!" Someone yelled, Emmy looked up to see Lucas and another girl she recognized, Max Mayfield.
She'd seen her before, when she would get into her car to go home, she'd see Billy smiling at her, and quickly frowning when he saw the redhead
She didn't know why that happened, but the point was, she knew the girl.
Emmy and Max helped around the yard while Dustin and Lucas were hiding behind a car.
"So, are you and Billy a thing?" Max asked
"Oh, uh, I don't know, we haven't really talked about it" Emmy said as she continued doing her work
"Well he talks about you a lot, like in his room, when our parents aren't home, he'd be pretending he was talking to you, it's hilarious" Max laughed but quickly turned serious, "Don't tell him I said that"
"Don't worry, your secret's safe with me" Emmy laughed with her
"Isn't it weird that two guys like you?" Max asked
"What?" Emmy said, confused
"Steve? Don't you see how he looks at you? Likes he's about to cream his pants" Max said, making Emmy's eyes widen
"No! No—Steve and I..."
"Are just totally in love" Max cut her off and said in a mocking tone
"Hey!" Steve yelled, making the two girls look at him wierd, "How come the only people helping me are Emmy and this random girl? Lights out in 40 minutes, come on dickheads"
"Okay—okay asshole!" Dustin said as him and Lucas got up and began doing their work
