The Weirdo on Maple Street; Part 3
Mike walked down the stairs to the basement, holding a tray of food for the weird girl.
"El?" Mike asked. He spotted the girl, Eleven, in the tent and walked over to her.
Eleven had a blanket covering her lap, and was sitting under the fort that Mike made for her. She was playing with the tuning on Mike's SuperComm.
"No adults, just us and some meatloaf." Mike reassured her, crouching so he could give her the food.
Dustin and Lucas stood farther away from Mike and the girl.
"Don't worry, they won't tell anyone about you." Mike said, smiling softly. "They promise, 'kay?"
"We never would've upset you if we knew you had superpowers." Dustin said, chuckling nervously.
Mike turned back, smacking Dustin's leg.
"Ow." He whispered.
Mike looked back at Eleven.
"What Dustin is trying to say is that they were just scared earlier. That's all." He said.
"We just wanted to fund our friends." Lucas finally admitted.
"Friend?" Eleven questioned, looking at Lucas with a puzzled look on her face.
"Yeah, friend." Lucas said, "Will? Y/n?"
"What... is 'friend'?"
Lucas looked at her in disbelief, "Is she serious?" He turned to look at Dustin, and Dustin shrugged.
"Um... a friend-"
"Is someone that you'd do anything for." Mike finished, cutting Dustin off.
"You lend then cool stuff. Like comic books and trading cards." Dustin said.
"And they never break a promise."
"Especially when there's spit." Lucas added, smirking weirdly.
"Spit?"
"A spit swear means," Lucas spat on his hand and grabbed Dustin's dry hand. "You never break your word, it's a bond."
Dustin looked at his hand with a look of disgust plastered on his face.
"That's super important. Because friends, they tell each other things." Mike said.
"Things that parents don't know."
"Exactly."

"What was that?" Will asked calmly, looking at his best friend as they walked.
Castle Byers had seemed like the safest place to be, even though it was out in the middle of the woods.
"What was what?" Y/n replied, furrowing her brows. Will looked at her with a confused look on his face.
"That thing you did. You killed that monster, without even touching it. Do you have superpowers?"
"Well, that was actually what I have been meaning to tell you." She replied, running her fingers through her hair.
The entrance to the woods was right in front of them, and Will inched closer to Y/n, as though she was the only thing that would keep him alive.
"I have what is called telekinesis. It means that I can move stuff with my mind, which I think that you already know."
