Stephanie Hargrove was eccentric, and artistic. She loved everything - the littlest things made her happy. She was sassy, but in a funny way which made everyone automatically like her. She wasn't the most popular girl in school, not as popular as he...

____________________________________Mike and max helped Eleven out to Nancy's car. She had started complaining about her leg again once we got outside the mall. I opened up the back door of the Station Wagon and let Max and Mike set Eleven in the back, so she could lay down. Nancy and Jonathan got into the front seats while Mike stayed with Eleven in the back. Me, Max, Lucas, and Will got into the middle, having to squeeze together tightly to fit. Nancy put the keys into the ignition and turned them. The car wasn't starting and the engine was making strange noises.
Due to the noises coming from the engine, I figured the engine was most likely dead. Nancy continued to turn the keys, trying to get the car to start, "You can't be serious! Come on!", "Didn't your mom just buy this car?" Lucas asked. "Yes," Nancy sighed in annoyance. "I'm sure it's fine."
"Did you leave the lights on?" Will asked, trying to be helpful as he knew if Nancy left the lights on, the engine would die and the car wouldn't start. "No!" "Do we have gas?" Lucas asked. "Yes!" Nancy yelled before aggressively turning the key once again. "Come on!" Jonathan reached forward, stopping his girlfriend from causing more damage to the engine by aggressively trying to start it, "Stop, stop! Pop the hood."
Nancy obeyed and popped the hood as Jonathan got out of the car. He opened up the hood and started observing the engine as Nancy stepped out of the car. They observed the engine for a few seconds before the sound of an engine revving distracted all of us. All of us whipped our heads to the left, seeing a blue Camaro in the middle of the empty parking lot. The lights turned on and everyone knew it was Billy.
I got out of the car and squealed noticing him, I haven't payed much attention to him for the past days and I was excited now that I could finally see him. However I felt a strong force on my arm pulling me back, "Johnathan? What? Let go of me I'm going to talk to Billy". "No you can't, he's flayed" my heard immediately drops hearing his words, "what?".
He revved the engine every second, trying to scare us and it was working. Nancy tapped on the window to the right of them, yelling, "Back in the mall! Back in the mall!" Nancy opened up the door and everybody rushed out, practically tripping over each other. Johnathan let go of my arm and I looked at max, guessing she was aware of this.
Her and Mike grabbed Eleven as everybody ran back through the doors of Starcourt. We stayed in the food court and some of us had started getting weapons just in case we could find no other way of leaving. Mike had grabbed one of the walkie talkies and went onto Dustin's channel, trying to see if any of the Scoops Troop would answer but none of them were.
Lucas had grabbed his slingshot and Nancy stole a gun from one of the dead Russians to check how many rounds were in the handgun, which made me flinch beside max, "You're gonna kill him, aren't you?" Nancy frowned, "This is just a precaution, okay?", "And not just against Billy," Will reassures me, not wanting me to think they were only after my brother.
"If he knows we're here, so does the Mind Flayer. I nodded. Max placed a hand on my shoulder and squeezed, trying to reassure the me, "Everything is gonna be fine. Billy is stronger than he was before because of the Mind Flayer, he's gonna be fine after all this is over, just like Will was." I nod once again, forcing a smile on my face.
