Hi, I am Charlie, 17 years of age, female, I go to hawkins high, I am about 5ft 6inches in height, so quite tall for a female I'd say.

"Charlie! Stop day dreaming about Munson and listen to me please!" Bethany said, she must be so sick of my crap.

Bethany Henderson, my best friend since always, she has the curliest brown hair that reaches her mid back, unlike my shoulder length mousey brown straight and frizzy mop. Bethany has the nicest tan compared to my madly pail complection.

"Sh*t! Sorry Bethy, what was you saying again?" I replied to her with shock, she was right, I was daydreaming about Eddie again, nothing weird, just the thought of him actually speaking to me.

"Hmph, I was saying that Dustin was having all his hellfire group come to mine tonight, so I was going to ask if you wanted to stay at mine" she suggested with a wink.

"I - I - err... will HE be there? Emphasis on the he..." I replied, curse that stutter I always get thinking about him.

"Yes Char, of course he will, he made the group remember?" She replied so matter of fact like, and looked at me with a knowing look, that stupid stutter.

"I'll see what my mum says, but she loves you and your mum amd her get on so well so i see no reason she'd say no." I reply, its true, our families get on rather well, its just me and my mum here, like with Beth, its only her, Dustin and there mum who I also call mum.

"Great lets go ask her!" She replied happily, getting up and already walking out the bedroom door towards the kitchen where my mum was making coffee.

"Hey mum!" Beth said cheerily.

"Oh hello deary, what can i do for you both?" My mum replied, her name is Beatrice.

"So mum, Beth and I were both wondering if I could stay at hers tonight? Pleaseeeee!!" We both begged.

"Of course you can doll, Beth tell your mum i said hi will you?" She replied, Beth and I squealed with excitment and ran to my room to pack an over night bag.

Now we are sat in Beths car on our to hers.

"Oh I am so excited to stay, I feel like its been ages since we've done this!" I say.

"Mostly you are staying so we can spy on Eddie for you, but I know what you mean, it has been a long time!" She replied, keeping her eyes on the road.

As we pull up to the Henderson household I can already see Eddies van in the driveway, my heart starts beating faster, gosh I am so nervous to bump into him.

"It's okay Charlie, calm down, breath" she says softly, she can tell when I'm getting nervous or worked up like I can with her, it's strange how close we are that we can tell when one of us is hurt or something when we aren't even in the same room.

"I know, I am, I'm just so nervous, for all i know he could be an absolute asshole and only look good, I doubt it but you never really know." I say to her, I dont really know anything about him, except his name and that hes been held back in school.

Beth parks the car next to his van and we go inside.

"Mum! I'm home!" I shout when we walk into the house.

"Oh Charlie!" Claudia comes running into the hall, "oh honey, it's been so long since I last saw you! How've you been dear?" She says to me giving me a big squeeze.

"Oh I've been great! Missed you though! Oh and also my mum says hi!" I reply giving her a squeeze back.

"That woman! I havent seen her in ages, i miss her too! You arrived just in time for dinner!" She replies wandering back off into the kitchen.

I turn back to Beth only to see Dustin stood next to her.

"Hey Char!" He says coming to give me a hug, "it's been so long since you've come round! Oh are you staying? Its been even longer since you last stayed!" He continues, noticing my bag, he takes it from me and puts it in the living room.

"Oh Dust, it has been a long time, I'm you've grown a bit since I was last here" I reply to him walking after him into the front room.

Everyone was in here, including Eddie, my breath hitches in my front and I look around for Beth only to hear her in the kitchen, "I'm gonna go find Beth!" I announce walking into the kitchen, but not without noticing Eddie giving me a quick look up and down, thay causes my heart to skip a beat.
