Opposites attract (Mike W.)

CHAPTER FIFTY TWO

Act 4~Chapter 5: The Shrink

After arriving at Ms. Kelley's, the group decided that Max should be the only one to go in rather than all five of them. The fiery red haired girl got out of the car, walking towards the door and looking back at the car, seeing the remaining four giving her an encouraging thumbs up. She smiled and faced the door again, pressing the doorbell and taking a deep breath. After a few seconds, the door opened to reveal a curly, black haired woman who Avery presumed to be Ms. Kelley. The four could not hear the conversation until folding between the two, however continued looking at the two to see if they could understand anything. A few seconds later, the two walked into the house, leaving the four to turn away from the door and wait.

It had been half an hour or so since Max had went into the house. Half an hour of sitting in an awkward, deafening silence after Steve and Dustin had a conversation about Steve's feelings towards Nancy Wheeler with Mike and Avery listening intently to the duos conversation. Max quickly opened the door and stepped into the car.

"What'd she say?" Dustin asked.

"Nothing, just drive," Max demanded.

"Nothing?" Steve repeated.

"Steve, drive," she told him.

"Okay," the older boy replied, slightly taken aback by the girls small outburst of anger. Steve pulled off of the road and followed the directions that Max had given him, slowly realising that she wanted him to take them to was Hawkins High School.

The four of them asked the red haired girl why she wanted them to go to school at six o'clock at night and half way through Spring Break. Max continued to not answer the questions until she finally gave up with them and just answered.

"Ms. Kelley wasn't answering any of my questions, but I found the key for her office, so to answer our questions, we can just look through Chrissy's file to see if she told her anything," she explained.

"So we are breaking into the school?" Avery asked.

"Is it really breaking in if you are trying to save peoples lives?" Max questioned, laughing.

"Yes."

"Oh, come on Ava, it's either this or nothing," the red head said. Avery shrugged, however not being opposed to the idea.

They were around five minutes away from the school when they heard a muffled voice from inside Dustin's backpack. Dustin got out his walkie talkie and lifted up the antenna, hearing the familiar voice of Lucas Sinclair.

"Dustin, do you copy?" Lucas asked.

"Lucas? Where the hell have you been?" Dustin questioned, angrily.

"Just listen," he began, "Are you guys looking for Eddie?"

"Yeah, and we found him, no thanks to you," Dustin told him.

"You found him?" the boy on the other end of the walkie asked.

"He's at a boathouse on Coal Mill Road. Don't worry. He's safe," the curly haired boy explained.

"You guys know he killed Chrissy, right?" Lucas informed them.

"That's bullshit," Dustin began, "Eddie tried to save Chrissy."
