"Where are you going?" El asked as I quickly ran around the house collecting my things. "I've gotta babysit will" I said as I stuffed a few dollar bills into my pocket. "Oh.." she muttered and went back to watching tv. I quickly slung my backpack over my shoulder and started towards the door. "I'll be back in a few hours okay? I've got my walkie on me if you need anything!" I said as I quickly walked out of the door. I waited until I heard all the locks, lock themselves on the other side. I sat down on the porch waiting for Joyce. I watched as the sun started to descend behind the large trees that surrounded me. I sighed as I watched Joyce's old ford pinto pull up, coming to a slow stop. I pushed myself up off of the pavement and started walking towards the car. I opened up the passenger side door and said "thanks for picking me up" as I sat down. Joyce nodded with a smile. I turned around to see Will sitting in the back seat. "Hey bud how have you been?" I asked with smile. He shrugged as he smiled shyly up at me. "Thanks for watching him in such short notice you know how much I hate leaving him alone" she said as she began to turn the car around. I buckled up and sat my bag in my lap. "It's no problem, I love spending time with the boys" I laughed.

We pulled up into the arcade parking lot. The sun had finally fully set causing all the street lights and stores signs to flicker on. Joyce's car came to a complete stop infront of the building, she honked twice and Dustin, Lucas and Mike waved. "Thanks again for watching him y/n. " she said as I unbuckled my seatbelt and opened the door. She then turned to her son. "Okay so, so I'll pick you up in two hours. That's 9:00 o'clock on the dot.okay?" She asked. I watch as will smiled and nods, just trying to get out of the car as fast as possible.
"Okay, okay"
"If anything happens, if you need to come home, just ask y/n to call her dad. Okay? Dont-" will continue to nod his head scooting his hand towards the door handle. "Don't walk or bike home. I know" joyce had gotten really over protective in the last year. And rightfully so her son went missing, was presumed dead, and then found in a alternate dimension all in a week. I stood rocking back and forth on my heals, my hands shoved in my pockets mentally counting up if I had enough money to buy a movie for el and I.  "Okay but sweetie-" joyce said grabbing onto wills arm.
"Okay mom I've gotta go" he said.
"Have fun."

Will smiled before quickly getting out of the car. He slammed the car door shut, and followed behind me as we walked up to the boys who were still standing by they're bikes. "Hey will!" Lucas shouted as he held up his hand, obviously asking for a high five. Will smiled and slapped his hand against lucas's. "Y/n!" dustin said smiling up at me, dustin and I had always tooken a liking to each other, I never really knew why. The first time I watched dustin we just hit it off. All I remember is that he was in the fourth grade, he was tiny, and he was absolutely adorable. Maybe we both bonded on the having one parent just pack up and leave thing.

We walked into the arcade the four boys instantly running over to the dragons lair game. I followed shortly behind not wanting to intrude. "H-hi y/n" I looked up to see the guy who worked there Keith. He stood behind the front desk. "Hi...Keith" i muttered as I walked past him and towards the boys.
"Wait!"
I furrowed my eyebrows and turned around "what?" He picked at his fingers before saying "I..Um was wondering if you wanted to go ou-" I quickly cut him off "I've got a boyfriend sorry Keith" before quickly turning around and speed walking towards the boys. One good thing that came from 'dating' Steve was that  I had an excuse for not wanting to go on dates with guys. It saved me from the 'oh you don't have a boyfriend so why not' type of questions.

"Down! Down! Down!" The boys shouted as dustin controlled the game. "I'm going! I'm going!" Dustin shot back. He moved the joystick frantically as the rest of the boys shouted at him. "I'm going! I'm going! I'm going!" Dustin shouted again as he smiled down at the game. "Okay. Shut up. Shut up!" Dustin shouted at the three other shouting boys. Dustin shouted as his character died.
"No. No! No! No, no, no! I hate this overpriced bullshit!" Dustin shouted as he punched and kicked at the game. I chuckled at how seriously he took the game. "Son of a bitch! Piece of shit!"
"Dustin language" i mumbled knowing that his mother would hate to see her little dusty using such foul language. He rolled his eyes as Lucas said "you're just not nimble enough. But you'll get there one day." Lucas patted Dustin's shoulder "but until then, princess daphne is still mine" lucas said with a huge smirk on his face. Dustin sighed "you know, whatever. I'm still tops on centipede and dig dug."
