"You can trust me! I promise! Bekah! Please!" He was banging on the door. "No!" Rebekah screams, holding the door shut. "Bekah, listen, I'm the only one you can trust here." He says calmly.

Jonathan runs into the room and hovers over her, shaking her shoulders. "Bekah, wake up. Bekah! Wake up, come on! Snap out of it!" Joyce runs in. "She's not waking up." Jonathan says and Will rounds the corner. "Eight! Wake up!" Will yells and Rebekah shoots up with a loud breath.

Rebekah jumps away from the family and then realizes it's them. Rebekah lets her head fall onto the wall. "Sorry, guys." Rebekah whispers and Joyce rubs her shoulder.

Rebekah wakes back up and starts getting ready for school. "Will? Come on, honey, up and at 'em. Will?" Rebekah lifts her head slowly. "Jonathan? Rebekah?" Rebekah comes out of her room. "Yeah?" Rebekah and Jonathan ask in sync. "Where's Will?" Rebekah furrows her eyebrows.

"What?" Jonathan asks. "Where's Will?" Joyce repeats. "He not in his room?" Rebekah asks, looking in his room. "No."

Rebekah opens the bathroom door. "Will?" Will looks at her and Rebekah puts her hands on her knees. "Found him." Joyce runs up. "What are you doing?" "Peeing?" Rebekah just walks away.

Rebekah comes back out of her room. "20 bucks says no one dresses up." "Deal." Jonathan says. "Guys..." Joyce says and they put their hands up. Joyce answers the phone. "Byers." A couple seconds go by. "Bekah, it's for you." Joyce says and Rebekah takes it.

"Hello?" "Are you alone?" "No..? Swing by the house real quick before I leave." Rebekah says. "I can do that. See you in a bit." Hopper says and Rebekah hangs up.

.

Rebekah meets Hopper outside. "Would you show up to the cabin with candy and watch a movie with her?" Hopper whispers and Rebekah nods. "I can totally do that." Rebekah says. "Get goin'." "I'm goin'." Rebekah says, backing away.

Rebekah gets in her car and starts it, pulling away.

Rebekah walks into the store and looks for the candy. Rebekah finds it and stands there. "Boo!" "Jesus! Billy?!" Max starts laughing and Rebekah shoves him. "Not cool, Hargrove." Rebekah says and Billy chuckles. Rebekah snatches the candy and shakes it at him.

Rebekah pays for the candy and walks out. Rebekah gets in her car and Billy follows her to the school.

Rebekah whips into a parking spot and gets out, still complaining about what happened in the store. "Oh, my god. I get it. I scared the shit out of you." Billy says, leaning on the roof of his car.

"Max, control your dog." Rebekah says and Max smacks her. Rebekah laughs. "Get to school. Be gone." Max drops her board and skates away. "Why would you do that to me?" "Oh, my god." Billy says, walking away.

"Come on, Bekah." Billy says and Rebekah jogs to catch up with him. Rebekah complains the whole way yo their class. "Dude, get your sister." Jonathan turns his head and laughs a bit. "Bekah." "He scared the actual shit out of me." Rebekah says and Billy throws his hands up. Jonathan laughs again.

"She scares me. No, sir." Jonathan says. "This tiny thing scares you?" Billy asks, pointing at Rebekah. "She's terrifying." Nancy says and Rebekah mocks her.

"Good to know y'all are scared of me. Maybe you'll stop asking me to talk about it." Billy shrugs a bit and Rebekah backhands him.

What the hell was that?

Rebekah looks at Nancy and shrugs. The bell rings and Rebekah shoves Billy into the classroom. They walk to their desks and sit down. Rebekah brings her knees up.
