~Presentations~

"I know it's been a tough year for Hawkins. So much lost.."

Max listens closely to the man speak, a disgusted but sad look on her face as her eyes drift to the side of the gym, there sitting the one and only billy hargroves, the man listening into the basketball speech with boredom, sitting next to the other seniors

Max can't help but look away as she focuses back on Lucas basketball game, something eating up at her as she listens about the game tonight as Dustin gasp, Mike looking confused at the surprised game

"Tonight?."

"How is that possible?" Dustin yells as max turns to them

"They call it a tournament, You win one game, you go on until there's only one team left." She explains as Dustin scoffs, looking sad at the information as they both look at Lucas, high-fiving the team

"I'm tired of girls laughing at us, I'm tired of feeling like a loser, we came to high-school for things to be different right! if I miss tonight it ruined that chance, so I'm asking as a friend. To support me on this..."

Lucas argues with Dustin and Mike as they yell about moving the game, Mike rolling his eyes at Lucas as sighs, seeing them not say anything as Dustin shakes his head

"Cmon Dustin! You know this is my shot! I don't get why you guys are being so uptight, even y/n is supporting me about this!"

"How would you know? She doesn't even send us letters!" Mike yells angrily from your mention as Lucas looks confused at him, Dustin immediately coughing awkwardly as Mike looks between them

"Wait... you guys are getting letters?!" Mike yells as they both nod, Lucas taking his out of his pocket as Mike grabs it roughly

"Yeah, she supports me with basketball, I get one every week and she even said she'll try and see my last game when it's summer" he says still angry at his friends as Mike reads over the letter

Anger rising in him as he throws the note back at Lucas, Dustin going back to the Eddie problem as him and Lucas argue, Mike just yells about talking to him as he walks off, Dustin following shortly behind

"And that is why I have chosen. Helen Keller as my hero." 

Everyone claps at Angela project as the teacher applauses her for a great job, you sit behind will looking through a magazine, hitting will on the shoulder to see a new game as he smiles, whispering to you about it as eleven looks at the teacher happily

She turns on the lights as you groan, whipping your eyes as will snorts, turning back to the teacher as she speaks

"What an inspiring story, Okay now let's see who has to follow that" she says as Angela smirks sitting back down with her friends as you keep looking through your magazine, trying not to pay attention to the teacher as she grabs a random paper from the bowl

"Y/n"

Your head pops up a little but you keep reading the magazine, the teacher looking at you for your project before sighing, eleven looking at you with confusion as the class looks at you

"Still didn't decide who to pick y/n?" She says with displeasure as you look up for a minute, feeling uneasy before shrugging

Thinking about your hero's for a minute as all you can think about it Steve...

"There's no one who's a hero to me.... just let Jane go" you say seriously as you go back to the magazine, the teacher sighing again before marking down something on her notes, will gives you a weak smile as he pats your leg supportively

"Okay then... Jane?"

Eleven looks nervously at will as everyone reluctantly claps, he claps supportive as he nods at her, eleven looking back at you as you give her a weak stare, before a small smile

She gets up slowly before walking up to the front, holding the project closely as she stares at the class

"Hi... for my hero, I... I chose my dad, and for my visual aid, I made a direyama of our cabin."

"More like diarrhea"

Everyone begins to laugh as you scoff, the stupid joke ruining janes confidence as she just smiles weakly... the teacher quickly quiets everyone to be respectful as you dull out elevens project, already knowing the story of hopper through and out...

"This is my dad.... his name is hopper.... he made the best eggos..."

Will tries to listen to elevens project but feels something touch his leg, looking over quickly as the pretty girl just smiles at him, the boy freezing up before feeling eyes behind him

You look at her move with a blank face as will moves his leg away from her, the girl quickly feeling the rejection before seeing your stare, before going back to listening

Will looks behind him at you, giving you a smile as you can't help but giggle

You hear everyone laugh again as your attention goes back to janes project, seeing her deflate again before will tells her to keep going, you smile at that as she continues

"B-because..... because um.." she sees Angela's hand up high, the girl smirking at janes reaction as she looks to the teacher

"Angela let's save the questions for after janes presentation"

"Yeah sorry... it's just Like confused, I though this was a presentation about a historical hero." She says smugly as your face scrunches up, you put your magazine down as you listen to the bullies rant

"My dad was in the newspaper.." Jane says firmly

"Your local paper?" Angela says about to laugh as everyone does, you look at the little group with disgust as your reminded about all the bullying you had to go through with your friends..

"I just don't think that's what mrs gracey meant by historical. This is supposed to be about famous people"

Elevens face goes blank as tears threaten to fall, her hands holding the project tight as she stares at the bully

"My dad is famous. He.. he saved lots of lives, In a mall fire... he was a hero for people.... he was my hero too"

Everyone face quickly look away as some seem uneasy, Angela keeping her smirk the same as she pouts "that's not what I'm saying at all, but it's okay.. I am so sorry mrs gracey. I didn't mean to interrupt"

"I just wanted clarity on the rules on the assignment"

The teacher looks confused before coughing "well, technically you are correct.. but Jane has decided to do her father. So please continue with your presentation Jane.."

"Bitch" you say quietly as Angela looks at you, your glaring daggers at the teacher as she doesn't seem to hear you. Will not saying anything as he pushes you a little

Jane looks sadly at everyone as she gasps for air, looking beaten up by the words as she tries to calm herself...

The bell rings loudly as she walks out of the classroom fast, you and will chasing after her as will calls her name

"El, it wasn't that bad..." will says trying to comfort her as you walk next to him

"Friends don't lie!!"
