Through Hellfire and back.

1- 86' Baby

Hawkins High School,  a place I once remembered like the back of my hand. Here I am after a year of being away staring at the old building in front of me I take a deep breath in as I started heading to the main office, The sun blaring down on me as I pass the familiar faces around me, one face catching my attention as I see my younger brother Mike and his friend Dustin head this way.

I stop to give them some time to catch up rolling my eyes in the process. "Devyn! It's great to see you again" The curly-haired boy grins pulling me into a tight hug, I used to 'babysit' the boys when they were all playing Dungeons and Dragons in our basement I saw them all as brothers considering how close they are with Mike. "Stink! Long time no see I've missed you guys" I say as we remove ourselves from the hug, "We've missed you too. Hey! are you going to see Lucas in his basketball game?", "Dustin no. She won't want to play and Eddie won't allow her to join." Mike jumps in cutting me off before I could answer. Play? play what? and Eddie? While the two boys bickered in front of me I could finally answer " whatever you two are planning to involve me in... Don't. Yes, I will be going to see Lucas play, robin wants me to cheer her on in band" Mike shoves Dustin in a Told you so manner.

The lads then ran off mumbling 'sorry' and 'see you laters'. I shake my head and get back to the office, Walking in I feel the cool air of the air con on my face I enjoy it for a second before walking up to the desk. " Hey sweetheart, How can I help you today?" The petite old lady says not once bothering to make eye contact, " Hi I'm Devyn Wheeler?" I blurt out hoping that would help me in what I'm supposed to be doing, The lady finally looks up to me with realisation hitting her face, Standing she turns around grabs some papers and places them down in front of me. " Here you go. This is your timetable" Pointing to all the lessons I have and what room. " And this is your locker code. Take your free period to look for your locker and put these books in it" Her smile was so clearly forced it pained me to smile back, nodding I take my new school stuff and use this time to find my locker. I look at what number my locker is before heading down to find it.

The locker was right near the cafeteria which I think is amazing, I'll be able to get there earlier and get the good food. Am I seriously thinking about food right now? Anway after placing my books and my bag in there I headed off to the library with half an hour to spare until lunch I decided to go somewhere quiet. It was perfect. I set out my book  'To kill a mockingbird ' before I slip my headphones on and begin reading. 

Flinching suddenly when a young girl taps my shoulder, I look up at her as I take my headphones off. She has a beautiful smile, her blonde hair up in a ponytail and she looks to be wearing a cheer outfit.  "I'm Chrissy. I didn't mean to scare you I just wanted to tell you that To kill a mockingbird is one of my favourite books!" she squeals sort off, I give her a genuine smile before offering her to sit down next to me. " really? Finally, someone who understands!" We both share a laugh, We spend the next fifteen minutes talking and just enjoying each other's company until lunch. I found out a lot about Chrissy, How her boyfriend Jason is a complete asshole and how she has been thinking about using drugs to cope. I warned her about the effects of drugs and told her that weed would probably help her the best. Before she could question how I knew that the bell went off stating that it was now lunchtime, I hurriedly rushed to get out of my chair and basically ran to the cafeteria. 

I wasn't trying to be rude, I just can't handle telling people, especially strangers why I've been gone for a year. Not yet anyway, The cafeteria filled up pretty quickly I see my brother and Dustin wearing their Hellfire T-shirts and walking slowly as if walking on eggshells to the table where I'm sure their hellfire friends are. Mike used to tell me about his little club when he came to visit apparently there is Gareth a not-so-tall, shaggy-haired boy who wears plaid over his hellfire top, Then there is Lucas, Dustin, Mike and Eddie. Eddie is the dungeon leader or whatever it is called, he has curly long mullet-like hair and looks like your average metal head.

Chrissy sits beside me which takes my focus off the boys " oh, I'm really sorry for running out on you earlier I panicked" I say, my eyes holding contact with the tray in front of me, Chrissy doesn't reply she just hugs me I smile and think we are going to be really good friends, My focus didn't stay on Chrissy for long when we heard a loud laugh coming from the 'Freak' table both Chrissy and I watched as the Leader of the group quickly stand up and walk on top of the table and start ranting "But! as long as you're into band or science, or Parties.." he mocks before continuing "Or a game where you toss balls into laundry baskets!" Removing his hands from his mouth he smirks looking directly at Jason who just stands up and shouts back " you want something freak?" which made Eddie pull a devil face with his two index fingers as horns and his tongue out.

I let out a little laugh which catches Eddie's attention, He sends me a cheeky wink and a smirk before jumping off the table and letting two cheerleading past like a gentleman before sitting back in his seat. It doesn't take long for him to leave it again though as now he was telling the younger ones how this will be his year to graduate. "I'm gonna walk that stage next month, I'm gonna look principle Higgins dead in the eye, I'm gonna flip him the bird,  snatch that diploma and I'm gonna run like hell outta here" he pauses and turns to them and say " This year is different. This year is my year!".

It wasn't long after lunch when school finished, They decided to finish early as the basketball competition needed to be set up, I impatiently waited for steve to arrive with robin until someone accidentally bumped into me. "Devyn right?" Jason asked, I nodded wearily I didn't Like the vibe I got from him it made me feel unsettled. "Well I hope to see you at the game" He rushed off after his pricks he calls friends.

Steve and Robin arrive not long after, both taking off in a high speed run and I quickly join them, Getting closer and closer until I could tackle them into a hug. " I've missed you guys so much" I let out a breathy sigh and my grip on the two get tighter. "We missed you too Dev" Steve says remembering our little nickname, we all let go tidying ourselves up before heading inside where Robin eventually leaves us to go join the band. Steve and I get to the bleachers when my curiosity got the better of me. " Steve?" He hums showing that he is listening. "What do you know about Eddie?" "You mean the freak?" I nod confirming his guess, Steve shrugs before answering. " I don't really know much other than he's dustybuns new best friend, He also is into drugs so please stay away from him." He warns me and I nod.

The game starts quickly, Steve is now talking to his new date or the week while I watch as Robin plays her instrument we start whispering to each other when I realise who she is standing next to, Vickie, The love of robins Life. The girl is most definitely into boobies as steve likes to state. "Just talk to her" I exaggerate my hand movements to show how serious I am for her to do it. She doesn't get a chance before Vickie takes Robins attention away. I smile to myself and continue to watch Sinclair win his big game!
