"She felt a bony hand grasp onto her shoulder, she gasped and spun around to see-" Carmen spoke before Blaire interrupted. "Guys, I don't like this, I mean a little boy is missing, and you guys wanna tell spooky stories?"

"Don't have a cow Blaire, we always tell spooky stories at our sleepovers. Okay, yeah I admit, our timing could be better, but still." Cyndi defended their actions and Carmen and Rob nodded in agreement. "No, guys I kinda agree. Can we postpone spooky story telling? I feel like God won't like the fact I am letting this happen."

"Lucy, I think God has worse stuff to worry about sweetie." Cyndi rubbed the girls shoulder and Drew chimed in. "Yeah, like you fucking Fred Benson."

"Shut up Drew! Oh my-" Lucy began before a surprised voice cut her off. "You fucked Fred Benson? He's like a slug-why would you fuck him?! That's disgusting! I mean if anything God is concerned that you lost your virginity to Fred Benson!"

"Oh shut up Rob! You screwed Millie Kline last week. Plus I didn't loose my virginity to Fred." Lucy defended herself as Ron's jaw dropped slightly. "Who'd you loose it to?" He asked shocked and the girl rolled her eyes before looking at the others, ignoring the Harrington boy.

"Look can we just get back to not telling scary stories. I don't like it, I'm seriously freaking out about this Byers kid and I don't even know him!" Lucy panicked and Carmen rubbed her shoulder comfortingly. "He's gonna be fine, I'm sure of it." Barb reassured the panicking girl, whose head was now resting on Barb's shoulder.

"You really think so?" She asked and Barb nodded and smiled. "I do."

"Is nobody else questioning the fact Lucy has fucked Fred benson and some other airhead?" Rob looked between the others who all shook their heads. "She told us like ages ago." Cyndi spoke and Rob rose his brow. "Ages ago?! I-Why was I not told?"

"Cause you weren't at that sleepover, I don't know." Lucy shrugged as Drew cut in. "Okay, let's bring the mood up and play some music!" Drew suggested making Carmen and Cyndi nod.

"My cassette player is over there, anyone have any tapes?" Cyndi questioned and Barb nodded passing her a mixtape. "I can't remember what's on there but I guess we'll find out soon."

Cyndi shrugged before putting in the mixtape and Slipping through my fingers by ABBA began playing and everyone was happy, except for Rob. "God, what is it with you lot and ABBA." Rob wasn't wrong, despite the group all having different tastes in music, they all loved the Europop group from the 70s, especially Barb.

"Come on, you know you secretly love ABBA." Carmen told the boy as she stood up and he rolled his eyes. "I really don't." As he spoke Lucy, Barb, Cyndi, Drew and Blaire all stood up and began to sing whilst Rob sat with his arms crossed over his chest, moping on the couch.

"Do I really see what's in her mind? Each time I think I'm close to knowing. She keeps on growing
Slipping through my fingers all the time." They all sang, even Rob was mumbling the lyrics under his breath a small smile evident on his face.

Lucy had tears brimming in her eyes, as this song always made her emotional, as they sang and she wrapped her arms around Blaire tightly and swayed to the music as Blaire hugged her back.

"Better not be hugging without us!" Cyndi squealed as she almost jumped onto Blaire and Lucy wrapping her arms around them, Barb, Carmen and Drew doing the same. Rob sitting on the couch saw the perfect opportunity to grab Drew's camera, which was laying next to him, and quickly snap a picture or two.

"Rob stop taking pictures and get in on this super cheesy friend group hug!" Lucy insisted and Rob rolled his eyes whilst smiling and walking over to his friends, wrapping his arms around them as the song played out.
