*flash back* July 4th, 1985 max was the only thing I could think about. red and blue lights were the only thing I could see. billy. he was gone. hopper was gone. eleven was without a father and max was without a brother. i was without a father. i didn't know what to think. i didn't know what to feel. "y/n" I hear. Joyce. when I turn my heart breaks more. i run to her as fast as i can and just break down. even though billy could be the worst he saved eleven. he saved all of us. ———————————————— March 21, 1986 8:28 am "y/n wake ur ass up" I groan when I hear Dustin's high pitch screams coming for the living room. i sit up on bed and check the time. great. 30 minutes until we has to leave. i zoom out of bed and brush my hair and teeth before putting on my blue bell bottom jeans and my white button up shirt and my blue Jean jacket. i clip my hair back and walk into the living room where I see Dustin waiting for me "she's alive" Dustin says following behind me into the kitchen. "what the hell are you doing y/n. we only have 20 minutes left to get to school before we are late and I can't be late for first period" Dustin whines while I get an apple "it's your fault dustin, you woke me up late shitbird" I whine mocking him "well I'm not ur personal alarm clock y/n, now hurry ur ass up before I'm late" he yells then walks outside to my car. "bye love you mom" I yell hoping she can hear me "bye have a good day at school honey I love you" I hear her say.
March 21, 1986 1:00 pm lunch time. the only time of the day that I actually enjoy. the only time that everyone enjoys actually. "y/n" Dustin calls out to me "what dingus" I say to him as I turn around surprised to see mike beside him "wow ok. i was wondering if you would like to sit with the hellfire club at lunch today" Dustin says with a hopeful tone in his voice. the hellfire club. a d&d club. but to most people it's a game for freaks or losers. a cult. "so your inviting me to go and sit with you weird d&d friends?" I ask trying to annoy him "well y/n they aren't weird and we need you help" mike says slightly annoyed. i look at them with a confused look on my face "Lucas is ditching us tonight because the play off are tonight or whatever and is telling us to try to move the campaign so we can see him play" Dustin quickly explains to me "but isn't this the last campaign of the hellfire season or whatever?" I ask slightly confused at the fact that Lucas would blow them off for a game that he will just be sitting on the bench for "yes but Lucas wants us to be there so we need to talk to Eddie" mike explains. "you know what I don't care" I say turning back around to walk back into the cafeteria "y/n please" Dustin begs "fine" I say.
i walk with Dustin and mike to the hellfire table. "shit, he seems really revved up today" Dustin says with a hint of nervousness in he's voice "he's always revved up, we'll just act normal" mike reply's back "totally" Dustin reply's back. once we finally make it over to the table I sit next to Dustin "we're the freaks because we like to play a fantasy game but" Eddie say as he hops onto the table "as long as your into band or science or party's" Eddie adds on but doing a weird voice when saying party's making me snicker and some guy from a table to flip him off "or a game where you toss balls into Landry baskets" he yells into the direction of the basket ball team making Jason stand up "you want something, freak" Jason yells which to Eddie reply by sticking his fingers into his hair and sticking out his tongue while making a weird noise

i laugh when I saw Jason's reaction. Jason. apparently he's like super popular and is the captain of the Basketball team. he took Billy's spot. "older Henderson, you good?" I hear Eddie ask me "mhm yea" I reply back. in my eyes the hellfire club isn't for freaks or losers. it isn't a cult either. i used to play with Dustin and the kids. i kinda liked it too. "it's force conforming. that's what killing the kids" he says jumping off the table near a teacher almost scaring her to death while shouting once he got to the word killing. yet he politely lets two cheerleaders pass by him. "that's the real monster" Eddie adds on while sitting back down in his chair. "So, uh, speaking of monsters, uh, Lucas has to do his, uh" Dustin says while trying to come up with something but obviously getting nervous by Eddie's eye contact "balls in Landry baskets game" I say trying to help out Dustin. Dustin looks at me and smiles while Eddie looks at me and snickers "yes, and uh, so" Dustin reply's while nervous chuckling "he's not gonna be able to make it to hellfire tonight" Dustin adds on while laughing nervously. Eddie stares at him waiting for him to add on "and I know there's no way we can beat your sadistic campaign without him. so me and mike" he says while turning to look at mike "we were talking, shooting the shit. and we were thing that maybe we might" Dustin says while stuttering. i nudge mike giving him the 'help his ass' look "postpone." mike says making the whole hellfire group gasp and start to complain about postponing it. "shut up" Eddie yells making me giggle "your saying Sinclair's been taken in by the dark side?" Eddie asks "uh, something like that" mike adds in making me nudge his arm for saying that "that's rude shitbird" I say "but not wrong" I added looking back at Eddie "something like that?" Eddie says while throwing food at mike "Jesus Christ" dustin says "and rather than find a sub for him, you want...you want to postpone "the cult of vecna"?" Eddie asks getting annoyed "no, they don't want to postpone it" I say trying to calm him down and help the boys "yea, yea we don't want to postpone it, it's just that, you know, most of the subs will be that the championship game" mike adds on making Eddie get up "oh it the championship game?" Eddie asks "yeah" mikes says in a kinda 'duh' tone "can I level with you? Jeff graduates with year. Gareth's got, what? a year and a half?" earning a nod from gareth "me, I am army-crawling my way towards a D in Ms.O'Donnells. if i don't blow her final, I'm gonna walk that stage next month, I'm gonna look principal Higgins dead in the eye, I'm gonna flip him the bird, I'm gonna snatch that diploma, I'm gonna run the hell outta here" Eddie say finally ending his speech making Dustin laugh "didnt you say that last year" gareth says "and the year before?" I ask "yeah, yeah and I was full of shit. this year was different. this year is my year.i can feel it. 86' baby." Eddie finishes "you know that that means" Eddie adds while crouching down the be in between the boys and both the boys say no "it mean you boys are the future of hellfire, I knew it the moment i saw you. you sat on that table right over there with lovely y/n, you two boys looking like...looking like two little lost sheep" she says making me and the boys laugh. he looks at Dustin "you were wearing a weird Al t-shirt, which I thought was brave" he says which makes me smile at him. "thank you" Dustin reply's. then he turns to mike "mike, you were wearing whatever shit you mommy got you from goddamn gap" he says making everyone laugh including me. Eddie then picks both Dustin and mike up out of their chairs "and we showed you, that school didn't have to be the worst years of you lives, right?" Eddie's says "no" mike reply's "okay, no, no. well I'm here to tell you that their are other little lost sheepies out there who need help. who need you. and all you guys gotta do is get your Bo-peeps on and go and find one" to which he push both the boys out to go find people. "well I would love to stay here with you Eddie boy but i have to go" I say while looking at Eddie "why is it because you don't wanna get caught with the freaks?" Eddie asks with a smile "yeah totally" I say while laughing and messing with his hair. ————————————————— word count: 1532 sorry this one is so long. i tried to make this chapter the cafeteria scene but it took and is a lot longer than I thought it would be:) but I hoped you enjoyed ————————————————— xoxo
