ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀ 3: ʜᴏʟʟʏ, ᴊᴏʟʟʏ

The next morning, Y/n got up a bit earlier for school because she had to meet Mike, Dustin, and Lucas at Mike's house. Mike explained everything last night. She was already tired enough, and it took Mike another hour to explain.

She showered, as usual. She put on a long sleeved black and white stripped top, then on top she threw on a black Fleetwood Mac t-shirt, along with Steve's grey sweatpants. She dried her hair and left it down today.

"Dad, I'm leaving." She said as she out her bag on.

Hopper sat up "Where you going this early?"

Y/n out her shoes on as she said "I"m meeting Mike and stuff to go to school. They wanna show me their stupid new comics before school. And they're gonna show me their AV club after school."

"Alright. Be safe." Hopper replied, too tired to ask any other questions.

Y/n almost shut the door but went back in "You, go to work." He glared at her, and she smiled at him as she left.

She quickly went out to Hopper's car and opened the glove box, and saw Hopper's spare gun and a box of ammo next to it. She sighed and took it before shoving it in the bottom of her bag.

The group was gathered around the table in Mike's basement, and Eleven sat on the sofa playing with Mike's walkie.

"We tell our parents we have AV club after school. That'll give us at least a few hours for Operation Mirkwood." Mike explained to the three.

Lucas then asked "Do you seriously think that that weirdo knows where Will is?"

"Just trust me on this, okay?" Mike said.

Lucas nods "Okay."

"Did you get the supplies?" Mike asked Lucas.

"Yup." Lucas nods and goes into his bag, pulling things out as he named them "Binoculars... from 'Nam. Army knife... also from 'Nam. Hammer, camouflage bandana, and my wrist rocket." Lucas said the last one, proud of himself.

"You are going to take out the Demogorgon with a slingshot?" Dustin questioned.

"First of all, ots a wrist rocket." Lucas corrected "And second of all, the Demogorgon is not real. Its made up. But if something is out there, I'm gonna shoot it in the eye..." he pinged the slingshot at Dustin "And blind it."

Mike looked at Y/n "Have you got it?"

"Yeah, but my dad will kill me if he knows I have it." She went into her bag and brought out the gun, and a box of ammo.

"Jesus!" Dustin flinched when she took it out.

"Is that thing real?" Lucas asked.

"No, the police carry around fake guns in their cars." Y/n said sarcastically then turned to Dustin "Two things. It is not loaded, and it's on safety. I won't shoot you." Then she looked at Mike "I can't bring it to school though."

"Not a problem. El says she'll take care of it." Mike said, making Y/n raise her eyebrows "Trust me."

Y/n sighed "Alright."
