Falling for the Freak

Hawkins High

Word count: 492

As I walk into the cafeteria I look at the different social groups. There's my table with Angela and her 'friends' when really all they do is talk shit behind each other backs and then there's Jason and Chrissy's table and then there's the Hellfire Club.

The future high school dropouts.
The freaks.

And at the end of the table there's the person who runs it all.

Eddie Munson.

I continue to look at the Hellfire table for a couple of seconds before making my way to Angelas table with a fake smile on my face. 'Hi Angela' I say with as much false sweetness I can muster. She looks at me with as just as much fake joy as I gave her. I watch as Henry and Jane sit at the Hellfire table.

I had my own little secret that nobody knew except for the people involved.

While I was second in line for the role of Hawkins High queen bee I was friends with most of the Hellfire Club and some of their friends the only one I didn't know that well was the one I found the most intriguing.
Eddie Munson.
Outside of school I often hung out with Dustin and his friends which by extent I knew Jane's name was actually 011 and Henry was 001 from the Hawkins lab experiment. I was almost caught by Brenner. Near death experiences like that can bring you closer.

'So Raye what are you wearing to the basketball game tonight? And more importantly who are you going with?' Angela asks trying to make it sound like she genuinely curious rather than trying to find a way to put me in my place 'I don't know.' I hadn't even intended in going to that stupid ass game. 'Maybe-' I get cut off by the man of the hour himself

"- pArTiEs OR A GAME WHERE YOU TOSS BALLS INTO LAUNDRY BASKETS!"

"You want something freak?"

Eddie brings his hands up to make devil horns and sticks his tongue out making a funny little noise in the process. I look down suppressing my laughter and hiding the little smirk I wore. When I look back up Eddie makes eye contact with me and gives me a smile. He turns around and jumps off of the table.

"Why was the freak smiling at you?" Angelas voice rings clear breaking me out of my thoughts does it even fucking matter why he smiled at me. Just know the he did. "I don't know Angela he was looking past me anyway. I have to go I have a test this period and I didn't study." I say gathering up my barely touched tray and leave

Oof I don't typically write and publish things I have like 4 books sitting in my drafts that I don't know if I want to publish or not. Anyways hopefully you enjoyed it I'll post some more eventually
