Chapter Four

At 3:30 I made my way to the spot Eddie told me to meet him. I left school out the back door so I dont risk the chance of Steve or my friends finding me.

Steve usually drives me home but i have to meet Eddie and after our fight earlier i dont want to be in the same car as him. And because i didnt show up at his car after the bell he'll just assume my mom came to pick me up, which she does sometimes if she miraculously gets the rest of the day off work. Im not worried about it and im not worried that hes worried about me because in all honesty i dont think he ever is.

I walked to the back of the building behind the fence of the basketball court and into the woods. Of course to get into the woods you have to climb this big fence and i thought because of my uniform it would be a bigger challenge but i actually got across with ease. Go me.

I didn't know where to go from there so i just kept walking straight until i found a picnic table set in the middle of this clearing in the woods. "Hm" i thought "convenient" but who puts a picnic table in the middle of the Hawkins woods? I dont know but this looks like the right spot.

But then i hear it again
DING
DONG
Why does this keep happening? This is why i need drugs.
DING
Its coming from straight ahead so i look at the tree a few feet away from the picnic table and i see it again. The clock.
DONG
Oh my god somethings wrong with me.

"Hey"
"AHH" i turn behind me and Eddie is standing there with his hands up.
"Woah im sorry didnt mean to scare you" he says smirking
"Oh my god you came out of no where" i can feel my heart racing against my chest.
When i look up again the clock is gone.

Puzzled i sit down at the picnic table where Eddie is already sat at. I sit across from him.
"You look a little pale are you sure you're ok?" "Hm" i ask, i keep looking at the tree where im sure i saw a grandfather clock hanging from a few seconds ago.
Eddie looks back at the tree i keep staring at and back to me with a confused/scared look on his face.

He rubs his eyes and says "look we dont have to do this-" "no" i interrupt "i want what you got". He looks at me as if hes trying to figure me out, as if im a puzzle needing to be solved- which lets be real I probably am.

"Alright" he finally gives in and opens his box of drugs which from far away looks like a metal lunchbox. Smart on his end because i doubt teachers would ask to see whats in it. 

He looks down at the box and pulls out a bag full of white powder. I dont know what it is im not educated in drug deals. "Alright ill give you half a pound for $50 or i dont know what you carry in that uniform but im willing to go lower" he pauses "just for you" he smirks.

Im noticing hes talking to me as if hes met me before, as if we've seen each other many times before. I mean of course ive seen him but how would he know who i am? "Im sorry have we met before?" I have to ask.
He laughs a little and says "Oh Angela you don't remember me?" Hes smiling now, how does he know my name? "Um i dont think so no" i respond

He puts his hand to his heart as if he was being stabbed and falls to the ground. I laugh hard at that. "I wouldn't remember me either Angela" he has leaves in his hair and i laugh at it "do i have something in my hair" he says as he brushes the leaves out of his hair. I keep laughing "seventh grade" he continues "you were doing that cheer thing that you do you know" he moves his hands up mimicking a cheerleader and i laugh again. "I played guitar and me and the band put on a show" oh i remember him now and I remember that show! "CORRODED COFFIN" I yell yes I remember!

He gets excited that i remember and starts punching the air "yea" i say "i remember that i can't believe you used to play guitar!" He pauses a bit then says "still do play...still do" he runs back the table "yea you should come watch us play we got a whole audience of about four...drunks" i laugh again and say "i can't believe this is you i used to think you were-" "mean and scary" he cuts me off and i nod, i feel kinda bad about that but i did. His hair was buzzed and he played in a metal band, never came to school and when he did he always got in a fight, always in detention, of course i was a little scared of him. "I have to admit" he starts as he sits down across from me again "i thought you were a little mean and scary too" "Me?!" I say im offended but mostly shocked, i didnt think he ever knew I existed.

"Terrifying" he admits, he smiles while saying it which makes me feel like he dosnt think im mean and scary anymore and that makes me happy because i dont think hes mean and scary either.

"You dont seem so scary anymore" i tell him and he grins again "well ill tell you something flattering works with me so" he pulls out the bag again and says "a bag for half the price or whatever you have, rob me blind here" he smiles and i have to admit its a pretty smile.

But i pause and think, is this going to help the hallucinations go away? "Do you have anything a bit stronger?" When i ask that his smile drops and stares at me for a while. Great hes going to think im an addict and not give me anything or maybe even worse.. "I do but its at my trailer i dont have it with me"

I sigh and i hear him rambling on about something but im not listening because all i can think of is getting these drugs so i say "i can come with you... to the trailer"

He looks a little frazzled and i know i just cut him off in the middle of saying something because his mouth froze open. "If you're ok with that i can take you there" and i respond with an "i really want to"

Hiiii i just want to clarify i am trying to use some of the scenes in season four but changing them up a little as you can see. Just helps to carry the story along.
