Chapter 3

Camille was finishing her breakfast at when Candice walked in the kitchen, tiredly rubbing her eyes.

"You look kind of tired", said Camille.

"It's probably from playing D&D all night", Rita chimed in. "Next time, I'm going to tell Karen not to let them play all night". Candice sighed before grabbing the box of Smurf Berry Crunch cereal. The phone rang and Rita answered it.

"Candice, that was Ms. Byers on the phone. She was wondering if you saw Will ride home last night", Rita told her youngest daughter. Camille noticed Candice perk up a little at the mention of her friend. "Yeah, I saw him leave with Dustin. why?", Candice asked.

"She said that he wasn't home".

Hearing the news also concerned Camille, but she figured that he just slept over someone's house without telling anyone.  To her, Will always seemed like a nice boy and not the type to stay out late without telling his mom.

"Are you seriously going to wear that?", Rita asked her. She was wearing her Pink Floyd's The Wall t-shirt under her red flannel. It had printed artwork and a face screaming face on it. "There's nothing wrong with it", Camille defended.

"It just looks..creepy".

"It's not like anyone's going to notice". Camille didn't think that most of her peers at school ever paid attention to her, so she figured that it was easy to go unnoticed.

"She looks fine", Glen chimed in.

While Camille was putting half of her script in her locker, she noticed Steve putting a note in to Nancy's locker. It could be a love letter. She was interrupted by Carol harshly brushing against her as her and Tommy walked by. It resulted in her script pages falling to the floor.

"Watch where you're going, four eyes", Carol remarked before snickering to the two boys. Camille frustratingly sighed before picking up her papers that were scrambled on the floor. She made eye contact with Steve, who stared at her before walking off with his friends.
