monday, hawkins indiana. 12:00 pm.

The whole party was hanging out at their lockers before class, their classes were okay. All were boring though.

"Hey, Troys not here today?" Elliene mentioned, she looked around. "Like he's not even with his friends. Did you guys notice that?"

Max and Penny looked at each other, "Yeah, me and copper coin watched the news on friday." Penny rolled her eyes at the nickname Max ahmad always called her. "Apparently he's missing."

"I bet the killer got to him. Serves him right." Mike muttered the last part. Will heard it clearly since he was standing an inch away from the ravenette.

"No it doesn't, sure he's mean but he doesn't deserve to be killed for it?" Will testified. They all looked at him like he was crazy. "What?" He furrowed his eyebrows.

"You're joking. Right?" Dustin asked, clearly not understanding what Will was trying to say. Once Will shook his head Dustin put his hand up for a second before he said something. "He's been making fun of us since grade seven. And we didn't do anything to him!"

"I know. But he shouldn't be killed for it?" Will reasoned. Dustin shook his head, El copying.

"All we're saying is, he deserved it Will." Max said and closed her locker. Lucas looked over and raised an eyebrow. (dark skin stare 🤨)

"Why are they looking at us?" Lucas pointed to River and James who had water bottles in their hands, holding onto the cap.

The party looked over to where Lucas was and shrugged, "They're probably mad their little leader isn't here." Penny muttered and blew a bubble out of her gum, then popping it with her nail.

The others laughed a bit, the two bullies started to walk a bit closer to them and opened the water bottles.

They both poured water on Will when he and the party weren't looking . (in the down there down there area if you didn't know.) Will dropped his books and looked at the two.

"What's the matter? Couldn't hold it in?" River teased, throwing the now empty water bottle at Will, Jane doing the same, most of the people around them laughed.

"Alright listen here you pieces of shit-" Mike and Max pushed them pushed them both as Will ran to the bathroom and went into a stall.

"God dammit!" Will tried to ring out his shirt, lots of water came out but now all of it. Will knew he couldn't stand up to them, we wants to. But he stays silent, that's why he continues to get picked on, he needs to stand up for himself.

He went into a stall and locked it knowing he would have to stay there for a while.

A few minutes later he heard the bathroom door slam open. "Will!?" It was Mike. "Will are you in here?" He heard him open up stalls.

"Yeah." Will muttered quietly. Mike opened the stall Will was in and locked it behind himself. "I'm sorry, Will. They're assholes." Mike engulfed him into a hug.

"It's fine. And for the last time stop apologizing for stuff you didn't do." Will threw his arms around Mikes neck and stuffed his head in the crook of his neck.
