Chapter 1: Will Byers Goes Missing

November 7, 1983

LILIANA

I wake up from my bed, it's time for school. Shit! I have to wake up my siblings before anything goes to shit.

I woke up and changed my clothes to be school appropriate. And then to the other bedroom where my older siblings Steve and Tory sleep. There they are sleeping looking like they did not sleep, Steve may be daydreaming about Nancy Wheeler, his girlfriend.

"Guys! Wake up!" I call them, maybe Steve opens his eyes to look at me.  Since he is not a big morning person, Tory wakes up first "This is too early Lils, how about sleep right now?" He asks me.

"No time Steve, it's a school day and I don't want to get late," I said honestly. "I know what you are talking Lils. Hanging around with those nerdy friends of yours?" Of course, he would say that. "Steve, do you still care about them?" Tory asks him.

"Listen, Steve, I don't hang out with those 'nerds' you call them, and please don't call them that. I have to move on from them." I said and Steve is sitting in his bed. "Okay, I am going to pass by. You can cook there whatever you want or in the fridge," he says and goes to lie down again. I sighed and left his room, "I am going with you," Tory calls, and I smile. 

We went down to the kitchen, to find anything to cook for meals. Since Steve doesn't cook much unless Tory, I, and our parents are in. But, surprise, they aren't, I am going to cook my breakfast. I don't know if Steve is coming to eat, took some eggs from the fridge. Get a pan and started to cook.

Eggs are my favorite because this is the easiest I could cook. Not really that I don't like to cook, but it's a school day. Tory doesn't like her eggs sunny-side-up, so I let them cook longer than mine.

Forget Steve, now I am going to eat breakfast. Cooking in two sunny-side-up eggs and 2 more eggs, putting in a plate. I am eating at the dining table as I wait for Steve to get up his pants.

 Reminding me the time what he said about the 'nerds'. Yes, I was a nerd back then and left the group. Not because I wanted to do it for popularity. Because Nancy's younger brother is a douchebag.

I finished eating my eggs, Tory gets her eggs and still, Steve doesn't get out of bed. "Steve! You're gonna be late for school. Or else you are not going to see Nancy!" I called him out Tory laughed. 

Making a joke about his girlfriend. "Okay, you can leave now. I am going in late, hanging around with Nancy. Can you have Tory be with you?" He calls out. Tory sighed 

I call him one last time before going to school. "BYE! STEVE!" I shouted and he didn't answer back. 

I closed the door, going to my bike rack where five bicycles are placed. A mountain bike, a gravel bike, BMX, a Fat bike, and the Road bike. The last is the usual, but Tory is going to be driving me to school. Hopping into Tory's car, we drive to school as we are singing Black Sabbath along the way.

I am dropped off in the Hawkins Middle Drop-Off area, Tory looks at me and tells me. "Okay, if anything is going down. Tell me as soon as possible, or call Hop alright!" she says and I nod. Hop, he is the Police Chief around Hawkins. Well, that is short for Hopper.

I left her car and go to Hawkins Middle, as she goes to Hawkins High. A block away from the Middle School. Passing by the bike rack, I see a group of boys. Maybe they are arguing, "Step right up, ladies and gentlemen. Step right up and get your tickets for the freak show," says one.
