Odette Byers is your normal kid in the 80s, going to Arcades, watching people skateboard but one day she realizes she's not normal at all, in more ways then one.
Odette believes she can move things with her mind but once she accepts the fact that sh...

"Stop being a baby and do it already", Mike yelled at Lucas.
"This is so disgusting, is this really necessary?" Max asked them.
It was at least ten in the morning and the group was surrounding a garbage bin, looking for Dart but little did they know the person that had him is right around the corner... No seriously.
Dustin walked up behind them, "What the hell's going on?"
"What do you think?" A nasally voice (which came from Mike) said. "We're looking for Dart."
Suddenly a trash bag followed by empty cups flew out of the bin, they all jumped back in disgust. "Jesus", Dustin muttered. "OH!" Max yelped.
"Why, just why, Lucas", Odette said in disappointment.
Lucas jumped out of the bin and stood with a prideful grin.
"Look who finally decided to show up! After I drew the short straw. Real convenient", Lucas sassed, putting his hands on his hips.
"You stink", Max muttered and walked over to stand beside Odette and Dustin.
"Hi Max", Dustin smiled. Odette did a small wave.
"Hi?" Max said.
"Where's Will?" Dustin asked Odette.
Odette went to say something, but Mike cut her off, "He'll be here" He answered for her.
"Are you just gonna stand there?" Lucas asked, grabbing a stick, throwing it at him.
They all started picking at the trash bags, hoping to find the small creature.
Dustin grabbed Odettes arm and stopped her from poking at the trash, "Stop being so aggressive with it, you don't want to hurt him." He spoke.

Mike tried to call Will for the fifth time on the school phone before having the same ending, slamming it down.
Mike ran back over to the group.
Max, Odette and Dustin sat on the steps while Lucas leaned on the fence.
"Anything?" Lucas asked.
"I told you he's probably taking a sick day-" Odette gets cut off by Mike once again, "We need to talk. Av club. Right now," Mike says.
They all stood up and headed to the door until Mike stopped Max. "Party members only." He said, stopping her.
"Come on Mike. Seriously?" Odette said.
"No! This is not negotiable." Mike protested.
Odette stared at the red head in pity, "Sorry, Max", She said before catching up with the other three.

"Will didn't want me to tell anyone but on Halloween night, he saw some sort of shadow in the sky", Mike says. Odette stared at him with confused eyes, "What kind of shadow?" She asked the boy.
"I'm not sure, but it scared it like really scared him." Mike started. "But if Will really has true sight and if he can really see into the upside down. . ."
Odette debated on telling them what Will told her on the night they went to the arcade but decided against it.
"Maybe he saw that shadow again yesterday", Mike says.
"So that's why he was frozen like that?" Dustin asked.
"Maybe"
"Can it hurt him?" They heard Lucas's voice inquire. "I mean this shadow thing isn't from our world . . ." Lucas says.
Odette felt blood dripping from her nose, but she wasn't completely sure on what she was doing or did until she noticed the poster behind Mike now un-hooked from the wall.
Odette wiped her nose before anyone could see it.
This was getting annoying.
Mike's eyes widened, "I . . . I'm not sure", He stuttered. "Dustin?"
"Well, if you're in another plane, you can't interact with the material plane, so no he cannot hurt him", Dustin explains.
"What if that's not even happening? What if it's something completely different?" Odette asked them. "This isn't D and D, this is REAL life", She said.
"So . . . what do we do?" Lucas asked.
"We acquire more knowledge", Mike says.
"Odette check on Will after school I'll come over to talk with him Aswell, You two stay here and find Dart", Mike explains the plan.
Odette nodded.

A couple hours have pasted, and the shrill sound of the bell echoed throughout the school. Odette was walking throughout the hallway when she noticed Max grabbing her books.
"Hey, Max!" Odette smiled, running to her locker.
Max scoffed, slammed her locker shut before walking out the school leaving Odette confused.
"What- max?" Odette said, heading after her.
"Did I do something?" She asked. Max didn't respond, she only kept walking.
"What's wrong with you?" Odette asked, actually concerned but Max took offence.
"What's wrong with me? What's wrong with you." Max scoffed.
"I don't understand", Odette said.
"No!!! I don't understand." Max snapped, stopping in her tracks to turn around and stare at the girl.
"You guys act like you like but then blow me off." Max yelled at the girl.
"Come on, that's not true--"
"Yes, it is. Just go hide in the av club, keeping secrets like were in second grade. You know I thought you wanted me in your party." Max said.
"I do", Odette stated. "I really do",
"Then act like it."
"I want to it's just Mike . . ." Odette started but cut herself off.
"Mike what?!"
"There- There are things . . ."
Max scoffed, "Forget it. I'm out. Have a nice life asshole", She rolled her eyes setting down her skateboard, heading off.
