A familiar sense of comfort overflows through my body as I wrap my arms around Lucas waist the autumn breeze following through my hair. I think back to the day after school Lucas rode me home on his bike. I find myself smirking, my head against his back. It's moment like that make me forget why I was ever angry with him in the first place.
"So, where are we going?" I say breaking the comforting silence that flowed between us; I lift my head from his back.
"Well, remeber dart, Dustin says he missing and might... Be a baby Demogorgon." Lucas says after a pause.
"Like the faceless monsters?" I ask my eyes go wide in a bit of shock.
"Hmm" Lucas hums."he says its a code red so we have to hurry!"

Lucas pulls up to an old junk yard. I look around the dirt field, abandoned cars, bikes; and trash scattered all over the ground. I glance at Lucas squinting my eyes. "This better not be some set up so you could get me here all alone."
Lucas look at me with doe eyes. He tilts his head "It's not, look!" He points to two boys walking down the train tracks. It's Dustin and a tall boy walking aside him, he wears dark shaded sunglasses with nearly perfectly combed hair. Which kinds seemed impossible to have such ciche hair in 90 degree weather like this. He and Dustin wear yellow bulky gloves, holding silver bucks tossing whatever maybe held inside them on the ground.
They continue to walk before making a stop in the middle of the field. "Steve Harrington?" I say getting a close look at the boy. I turn back to Lucas he shrugs before calling out " I said medium well." To the two boys dumping what looks like a pile of meat? on the ground.
Lucas and I walk down to the boys

"Alright, everyone's here let's the ground. Pick up all the random metal pieces. Dart, needs a clear path to the bait." Steve says taking the lead once me and max reaches them.
Dustin looks zoned out looking between me and max looking as if he's just past a ghost.
I stare at Dustin wondering what's wrong he seemed fine just a few seconds ago. As max stands beside me I feel her eyes burning a hole In my cheek.
"Let's go!" Steve's claps causing Dustin to jump from his daze.
___
We've been cleaning up the junk yard for roughly 20 minutes now; in silence the only noise is Steve complaining about us missing from off the ground.
Steve pointed max to clean up the right side of the junk yard; and me and Dustin to clean up the left. Which I got the feeling during would rather clean up with max after the long exaggerated huff he gave when Steve said his name after mine.
My back is starting to ache a bit from bending down so much. I look up every once in a while; and see max filping maxs against the rusty bus. Steve stands near a tree to "supervise" And i catch Dustin glaring at me every so often.
"Hmm" a loud huff comings from Dustin make this his 2nd loud huff of the day.
I shoot my head up and glare at him.
"Dude, what's going on with you. You've been acting weird all night."
He walks over to me tugging my shirt dragging me behind a broken down 1976 ford pinto
"Why is she here?" He says in a scoffle "I can't believe you told her."
"You wanted to tell her too!" I almost laugh because hes making a big deal about max being here.
"Yea but, I didn't, all right we all agreed not to tell her and look for dart."
"Who you conveniently found." I dart my eyes at him.
"Are you suggesting that I'm lying?"
"I'm saying you have a creepy little bond with him."
Yeah that was before he turned into a he turned into a Demogorgon!"
"Okay well u you haven't heard from Mike?" I say switching the subject.
"No."
"Or will?"
He shakes his head "Hopper?"
No, no one is around; why do you think I'm with Steve Harrington?
I shrug my shoulders, the conversation fall silent. I sit up from squatting behind the car. Peaking through the window I see max fliping metal sheets against the bus. "She didn't believe me anyway." I say looking to side and seeing dustin.
"You probably didn't tell it right."
"Yeah, that must be it." I look back to Dustin feeling a smile tug on my lips.
I extend my hand for truce. "We goo-"
A loud bang comes from behind Dustin. The causing me to quickly pull my hand back and makes Dustin jump.
"Hey dickheads! How come the only person helping me is some random girl? Steve squabbles pulling a rustic chair away for car.
"We lose light in 40 minutes. Let's Go!"
"Huh" I let out a sigh
"LET'S GO I SAID."
"Alight, asshole God!"
"We heard you stupid." I exclaim we follow steve back to the center of the field.
A/N HAPPY HALLOWEEN EVE!!!!!
