{AN|| TW: Substance Use & Swearing}

It was the summer of 1984 at my families trailer in the Hawkins trailer park and even though we didn’t live in ours and it only stayed here while we weren’t using it for camping vacations and I got to go a week early since my parents were still busy with work and they wanted me to have a place to stay as not to bother my aunt and uncle by staying with them and my cousin for a week while my parents were busy.

I should probably introduce myself, My name is Y/n Buckley and my parents are Diane and Carl Buckley. My cousins name is Robin and she’s the same age as me, her parents are Richard and Melissa. My mom and aunt got pregnant around the same time so Robin and I both were born in 1968, she was born March 10th of 1968 and I was born Y/B/M Y/B/D 1968 so we’re pretty close and send letters to each other all the time when we’re not with each other for holidays.

So now back to current times, I was walking around the trailer park wondering what to do, essentially debating on weather I wanted to go out to eat, order in or just make something for dinner when I smelt smoke which wasn’t unusual considering it was a trailer park mostly filled with poorer people who live in their trailers and I don’t say that like some rich snob, I’m not poor but I’m not rich either, my dads a lawyer and my moms a psychologist so they make pretty good money but not nearly enough to call ourselves rich or I’d be staying in a hotel right now not in a trailer. I had a part-time job while school was going but it was just tutoring 2 or 3 kids a week while school was going on and it was only cause my parents wanted to teach me responsibility and also to pay for my weed and alcohol but my parents didn’t know that, they thought I was buying lunch at school with the money from it when I don’t eat at school. 

I decided to follow the smell of smoke and when I saw who it was I was definitely shocked to see that it was a guy around the same age as me rather than an old person in their 40’s to 50’s like I was expecting and if I’m being honest I thought he was kinda hot which I’ll admit kinda made me stare a bit until I was dragged out of my dazed state by hearing him say “Take a picture sweetheart, it’ll last longer” followed by a chuckle. I shook my head while slightly blushing then actually look him in the eye and say “shut up I wasn’t staring and don’t call me that” and this just made him laugh more while he held up his hands and then says “alright alright but uh what’s someone like you doing in a place like this, clearly you’re not like those who live here” gesturing to my outfit which makes me look down at it

“Oh uh yeah I don’t live here, my family just keeps our trailer here since it’s easier than keeping it at our house when we’re not using it constantly” I say. And he nods before saying “Cool well I’m Eddie” he gets up from his chair and comes up to me, holding out his hand “Eddie Munson, what’s your name?” he continues. “I’m Y/n, Y/n Buckley” I say and put my hand in his, expecting a hand shake but instead he kisses the back of my hand and says “well hello Y/n” and this causes my cheeks to become red once again which makes him chuckle as he goes to sit back down. 

“Would you like to join me?” Eddie asks as he sits, gesturing to the the chair next to him. I think for a second then decide to just sit cause I don’t really have anything better to do and when I sit, he smiles. “So what were you smoking Mr. Munson?” I ask him, shifting in the seat to be facing him more. “Uh not cigarettes if you know what I mean” he says “Oh sick there’s a dealer out here?” I respond. He laughs “uh something like that” he says “What do you mean?” I ask him. “I may or may not be said dealer” he answers with a slight smile “Oh, how much do you charge?” I inquire, curious to compare to the person I normally get it from. “Normally 15 for an eighth, 20 for a quarter, 30 for a half or 40 for a whole ounce. You don’t look like the type to smoke though but hey, I don’t judge” He tells me “That’s actually decent pricing, it’s all like equal spacing but like 5 dollars less than the guy I normally get it from”. He nods and says “Well I’ve got some of you want to buy some but if you’re hesitant based on quality I have some ready to smoke and we can call it a sample if you prefer to try before buying it” and I say “sure that’d be nice”. He nods again and gets up, going in his trailer for a few minutes while I wait there till he comes back and when he comes back he’s holding up a joint and a lighter

“Here we are” he says and hands me the joint and lighter before sitting back down in his chair. “Thanks” I respond before putting the joint in my mouth and lighting it and he nods, leaning back in his chair. I take the joint out of my mouth and hand it to him but hold the smoke from it in for a few seconds then exhale it. “It’s good, really smooth and has a nice flavor” I say, looking at him and he nods “Yeah I think so too” he says then takes a drag from the joint then continues “So, do you want to buy some? It’s fine if not but the offer is there”. I smile and say “Yeah why not, I’ll just go get the money” I go to get up but he stops me by putting his hand on my arm “Don’t worry about it right now, we can just hang out for a while and deal with that later, if you want of course” he says and I nod and sit back down “yeah that sounds good” I say.

And so we spend a few hours just smoking and talking, eventually ordering pizza and going inside his trailer and drinking while eating the pizza, just over all having a good time and completely forgetting about buying weed from him. I eventually end up going back to my families trailer with the help of Eddie as he wasn’t as drunk as me and he was able to walk a lot easier than I could so he helped me to bed then went back to his own trailer.
