EVERYONE NOW IS SITTING IN THE WHEELERS BASEMENT COUCH, for dinner the Wheeler's mother had prepared a baked roast chicken, that chicken looked so delicious and inviting but not as much as a nice burger with french fries. Claire and Nancy riding a bike went downtown to one of the best fast food here in Hawkins and got something for them and their brother and sister.
Here they are, watching a movie while enjoying that delicious dinner together. Mike and Aspen are sitting on two pillow on the floor while the other two girls are sitting in the couch.
"Mike you should clean this place, it's dirty" Nancy looks at her brother who snorting in response "clean it with your tongue then" he replies making the other two laugh, but Claire as soon as she sees her new friend gaze on her stops "it's not funny, at all" she tries to hold back her laugh.
While the two kids are busy chatting avoiding the movie, even the two teens starts talking to each other, "you know, i've never seen you at school" Claire tells Nancy "i'm always in the library studying i bet that's why" she replies as she bite a fries "oh so we got a Nerd" the other girl laugh "let's not exaggerate" Nancy responds "don't worry i don't judge, i like reading and photographing but i'm not a creepy stalker i promise" Claire smiles at her new friend "great, i like you" Nancy says "I like you two Nancy Drew" jokes making her laugh.
Nancy thinks about that finally she maybe found a new friend, not that Barb isn't a good friend, she loves her, but sometimes she would like to share things with someone who don't judge her, and she have a feeling that that person is Claire.

Now, after dinner with the her sister and Nancy, Aspen and Mike go up on the second floor in his room. Arriving in the room she sits in Mike's bed as the boy closes the door behind his back and gives at Aspen a curious look "what's wrong with you?" she asks him while she takes off her shoes while crosses her legs on the bed, the black haired boy take his desk chair and he sits on it looking at his friend who's literally confused about Mike acting weird.
"we have a rule" her friend begins to speak, Aspen looks at him trying to hold her smile, "and..?" she asks while Mike clear his throat "and this rule need to be respected" Aspen still doesn't understand about what her friend is talking about.
"what the hell? Mike are you alright?" she laugh but immediately stops seeing that her friend remains serious "i'm serious Aspen, all t-that stuff of giving that shirt to Will.. it's too obvious" he looks at her while she stay in silence watching her friend "you can't like him" the girl looks at him with surprised eyes, she didn't expect that "ehm.." he didn't let her finish "you can't like any of us" he says "can i talk or do you have to keep saying bullshits?" Aspen looks at the boy "talk" Mike replies to his friend "first this rule is childish and stupid, second i don't like Will, i just like him as a friend, like you" Mike seems to reassure himself to those words.
