Dustin's pov

Shit shit shit shit! Where is my favorite hat?
I went through a mental checklist making sure that I had everything for science camp. I leave tomorrow and I couldn't be more excited! Nothing can compare to my love for science. Well maybe my love for my friends, but that's different.

"Dusty! Can you come downstairs please?" My mother called to me from the living room. I scrambled through the mess of packed items and clothes sprawled across my bedroom floor and rushed down the stairs.
"Yeah Mom? What's up?"

"Will you please sit here with me? I need to talk to you about something." She gestured to the open space on the sofa and patted the cushion. I couldn't tell if she was worried or overjoyed. I searched her face for some kind of answer, but to no avail. I reluctantly sat down beside my mom.

"Is everything okay?" I questioned, slightly nervous at the fact that I wasn't sure what was going on.

"Yes, yes, everything is alright. I just need to tell you something that I have been keeping from you for a while." She let out a heavy sigh.
"You can tell me anything Mom." The corners of my mouth began to curl forming a smile.
I may have been anxious to find out what she had to say, but I wanted her to know that I was listening and that I would be there for her when she got this off of her chest. A small pit formed in my stomach at the thought of what my mother had been keeping from me, but I shook the thoughts from my head when she opened her mouth to speak.

"Dustin, a little over eighteen years ago I had a daughter. And when she was five years old her and her father left. They moved to Auburn so that he could pursue his job and he believed that y/n must go with him to get a good education." She reached for my hands and squeezed them a little.
I was taken by surprise. Oh my God! I have a sister...and my mom kept it from me my entire life.
"I have a sister?!" My jaw was practically on the floor. "What? Why didn't you tell me?" My voice had begun to raise. I felt my face heat up a little. I don't think I felt angry, but it was something along those lines. "Why didn't you tell me?" I repeated, my voice breaking a little. I felt like I had been betrayed. I felt lied to. It made me wonder if she was hiding anything else. What more important details about my life has she kept from me?
Tears filled her eyes as she spoke, still holding onto my hands. "Dusty, I am so sorry and I know you are upset. You have every right to be. But you've got to understand when I tell you I meant well and I wanted her to stay. I really did. "
"I know you did, Mom. I apologize for yelling, but she was like four hours away. Why couldn't we visit her or vice versa? I just wish I would've known."
"Well, when her father took her with him he sent her to a very good boarding school. She's been studying there ever since she was a little girl. And that brings me to some great news..." my mother beamed at me and leaned closer.
"She's coming to Hawkins to live with us! She graduated four days ago and is moving in today!"
"Today? So I get to meet her for the first time then leave for a month the next day?" I let go of my mom's hands to throw mine in the air. The feeling of almost-anger burned inside me. I meet my sister for the first time in my whole life and then leave for camp the next day. That is bullshit!
"I know you're angry. Dustin, I am so sorry for not telling you. I wanted her to stay with me in Hawkins, but that's not the way it worked out. You have to look on the bright side of this, okay? She's coming home. After all those years, my daughter, your sister is coming home!" Tears spilled from her eyes and my face softened.
The anger I felt fizzled out. Thoughts of my "long lost sister" coming home made me feel something different. I beamed at my mother.
"What time is she coming?"
"I'm not quite sure. I think she said she would be here close to 1 o'clock. What time is it now?" She turned her head to glance and the clock on the wall; however, I had already been staring at it. My eyes grew wide.
"Mom it's 1:07!" My voice rang but was drowned out by the sound of knocking on the door.
My mom and I looked at each other before racing towards the front door chanting "she's here she's here!"
