3. The Pollywog

1984, November 1st -
You woke up to a hell of a headache, you didn't even drink that much. You groan, knowing Nancy was probably still unconscious. You got up, feeling a pit in your stomach as you sluggishly walk to Nancy's room.
"Nancy?" you called.
You look as Nancy shoved her face in her blanket, hiding from you.
"Nancy," you whined, pulling the sheets off of her, "You need to go to school."
"Fine," she mumbled.
You were feeling extremely fatigue today, so you decided to just throw on a shirt, jacket, and jeans.

As soon as you got the school, the school bell echoed the air. You quickly got out and ran to the gymnasium. We were in basketball season. You slid on your shorts and tee, walking out quickly to the court. You don't even like basketball. Most of the time in p.e, the teacher just benches you.
You watched as Steve dribbled the ball across the court, Billy blocking him. You heard the couches yelling instructions, one even glared at you.
"Harrington, right?" you heard Billy ask Steve, "I heard you used to run this school. That true?"
Steve kept dribbling the ball.
"King Steve, they used to call you, huh?"
"Then you turned bitch," Billy said as Steve grunted.
"Hey, maybe you should just shut up, and just play the game," Steve managed to blurt out.
You watch as Billy nudged Steve over, making him fall splat on the floor.
You walk over, knowing you're not supposed to give him a hand.
"Hey," you greet.
"Hi," Steve brushed his shoulder.
"What happened with Nancy?" you asked before being interrupted, by Nancy herself.
"Steve?" Nancy called out as Billy's team wooed at the win.
Steve looked at you before walking out with Nancy. You sat back on the bench as one of Steve's teammates ran out, then came back with Steve.

— 12:30 pm
You walked out of the school, hoping to find Jonathan for lunch. You glare into the distance to see Nancy, sitting with Jonathan. You quickly walk the other direction, not wanting Nancy, or Jonathan to see you. You saw Steve sitting on a bench, doing who knows what.
"Hey! Steve!" you waved your arms as Steve looked at you, groaned, then looked away.
"Hey, what'a up with you and Nancy?" you ask, sitting next to him.
"I...uh, apparently, our whole relationship is bullshit," Steve said, pulling his hair back by one hand.
"What?" you ask, furrowing your brows.
"Nancy said, we killed Barb, and I don't care because I'm bullshit, and...and our whole relationship is bullshit." Steve said, putting his hands on his neck, "And... I mean, pretty much everything is, bullshit, bullshit, bullshit."

"I swear Steve, if you say bullshit again, I'll punch you, again," you said.
"You should've seen her last night," he added.
"Yeah, I did," you sighed, "You told me to take her home, remember?l
You heard Steve scoffed as he looked at Nancy and Jonathan sitting together.
"It's okay, she probably didn't mean it," you reassured Steve.
"No, she did." Steve looked at you, "I know it."
You got up, leaving Steve behind as you walked to back inside the school.

— 3:15 pm
You walked through the middle school parking lot, hoping to find Mike, since Mom asked you to drive him home. You look to your right to see Billy standing with a red-headed girl. To avoid interactions, you look down and walked the other direction.
"Hey, have you seen Mike Wheeler?" you walked to a teacher.
"I believe they have AV club today," she said, pointing at the middle school building.
"Thanks," you smile before walking away.
You sped into the middle school building to see Billy's possibly younger sister, banging on a door, shouting hello.

"Hey, is this AV club?" you ask.
"Yeah," she replied, still banging the door.
You reach your hand to the door knob, rattling it.
"Already tried that," She muttered.
"Guys, come on. Can I come in yet?" she yelled.
"No!" Mike yelled from inside.
"Mike? Mike!" you yell, banging on the door.
"Y/n?" Mike's voice got louder, "Hold on!"
You groan as you sat next to the door.
"Hey, you're Billy Hargrove's little sister right?" You ask, looking at her.
"Yeah...step-sister," She mumbled.
"Y/n Wheeler," You smiled.
"Max Mayfield?" Max said.

"Here, let me try something," you whisper to Max before pulling out a bobby-pin from
your pocket.
You knelt down next to the door, putting the bobby-pin in the door lock.
"What are you," Max said.
"Shh," you shushed her.
You clicked the door lock, twisting the bobby-pin right, then left.
"Done!" You smile before opening the door,"
"What the,"

A tiny, screeching, slimy bug crawled out of the room.
"Mike!" You shout. "What the hell is that?"
"Oh, shit!" Dustin yelled, running out of the room.
Dustin ran into you, pushing you to the floor.
"Dustin!" You yell. "Get off!"
"Sorry!" He screamed before running off.
"Where'd he go?" Lucas asked.
"What was that?" Max yelled.
"Dart!" Mike yelled at you. "You let him escape!"
"You were supposed to meet me in the parking lot, ten minutes ago!" You screamed back.
"Why did you attack him?" Dustin yelled, pushing Mike to the wall.
"Hey, hey!" You pull Dustin away.
"Come on," Mike gushed before running through the halls.
"Don't hurt him. Don't you hurt him!" Dustin scream echoed the empty hallways.

"Mike! Come back here." You yell, chasing him.
"East is clear. No sign of Dart." Mike said into his walkie-talkie.
"Mike." You pull him. "What... what is going on?"
"AV club!" Mike answered.
"Yeah, this is not AV club." You denied.
"It is! Just go home, I'll call Mom to pick me up."
"Fine." You push him aside before leaving.
