Me, Lucas, Mike, Dustin and El were riding our bikes to the school. We failed to get into the Av club because before I could try to pick the lock, Mr Clark noticed us.
He had walked towards us and the boys started to spit out dumb excuses on why we were trying to get inside.
"And who is this?" Mr Clark asked me, nodding at El.
"Mikes cousin!" They blurted out. "She's visiting!"
"It sucks that this is such horrible timing, we are all full of sorrow." He said. "We should be getting to the ceremony soon."
I don't know why they said she was mikes cousin because I know Mike likes her. I mean he surely acts like he likes her. And Lucas agrees, he also thinks Mike likes her.
I sat through the horrible ceremony they planned for Will. I hated the way they talked about him, acting like he was fragile and.. I turned my attention to the low laughter on the right. My anger rose as Troy and his friend were laughing and making fun of Will.
The bell then rung and the students all got up, loud voices erupted and conversations began.
"I feel so bad for his friends." I heard one girl.
Another boy speaks loudly, "My mom says he ran away because he dad-"
Another voice, "I don't think they should be putting all this information out."
"Hey Troy!" Mike yelled making my head Snape up, what is he going to do? Troy would deserve what ever Mike was going to do for laughing with his dumb friend during this stupid fake assembly. No one really cared.
"You think this is funny?" Mike stuttered.
"What did you say, wheeler?"
"I saw you guys laughing over there." Mike said. "I think it's messed up."
"Didn't you listen to the counselor, wheeler? Grieve shows itself in funny ways." The boy beside him laughed.
"Besides, what's there to be sad about, anyway?" Troy said. "Wills in fairyland now, right?"
I got flashbacks, people always said stuff like that to Will. . .even his dad.
I fixed my leather jacket, it was one of my brothers old ones. It was a bit to big so it slid off my shoulders sometimes.
"Where you going, queer!" I heard someone yell down the hallway of my new school. I turned the corner and kept on walking until I heard the voices closer.
"You look like a little fag like your father." A boy pushed another boy.
"No wonder he left you." This kid I talked to today taunted the boy. "You and you're brother are going to end up like him."
"What are you doing, Tristan?" I asked. I looked at the boy who was bullying, Will Byers. I saw him hanging out with my new friend, Lucas Sinclair. Byers was someone I need to protect.
"Maddie." He said, looking at me. "Just..talking to this guy."
"Yeah? Leave him alone."
"Why? He's going to end up in fairyland." Tristan's friend called out. "Are you going to end up with him?"
I walked closer to him, "wanna repeat that?"
"Fairy." He taunted and I swung, my fist hitting him right below the eye. Everyone around us gasped, one person ran to the nearest teachers door as I grabbed Tristan and slammed him into his friend. I kicked Tristan again and again. I remembered being hit, and when someone finally pulled me away, I had spit blood, "Don't you dare ever talk about him like that."
And he didn't.
"All happy and gay!"
My fist tightened as they laughed, walking away. I wanted to do something but I couldn't, I would get expelled if I did. And Will made me promise I wouldn't get expelled before. . .before he went missing.
Mike stormed towards them, pushing Troy. He stumbled forward onto the ground making everyone gasp and exclaim. I smiled for Mike. I watched as Troy got up, he was going to do something way worse to Mike. I walked towards them.
"You're dead, wheeler! Dead!" Troy yelled, he ran towards Mike but stopped once I went in-front of him. I remembered my brother teaching me how to punch when I was younger.
"No, you are." I then punched him making everyone gasp again, "Ooh!"
He held his face, he was flashing with anger, I could beat his ass, I know it. He suddenly paused, his eyes moved but his body didn't. He then started to pee himself. Everyone started to laugh as I turned around towards el. She walked off, we all ran as a teacher started walking angrily towards him.
