Hack //Stranger Things cast

Chapter Four

I opened my laptop and went into the folder titled "the moon project" before clicking the chatroom "looney luna" and typing a simple "hey".
Luna was my friend, someone the others did not know about. She was on the run and taught me a lot about hacking. Sometimes, when even Noah can't help me, she's the only person I can stand to be around.
Hey beautiful
I rolled my eyes at her message. I forgot to mention she fancies me.
Hey Luna
Whoa, what's wrong? No hearts? Is it that girl? Millie?
Yeah, I basically walked in on Finn and her fucking
Beat him up
I smiled at her message, maybe I should.
I will, thank you
I was being sarcastic
Shhhhhhh that's not important
I hate you sometimes
You love me
Yeah I do
How's everyone?
Oh the usual: Caleb has a lot of injuries and is restless because he can't drive a lot, Gaten has an injured leg and uses that as an excuse to do absolutely nothing
Of course
Noah hit his head pretty hard and shouldn't've been up and about as quickly as he was but you know him...
Sounds like Noah, alright
Finn and Millie are totally in love and it's making me ill. And I'm just frustrated and worried about the future of this fucking country
This is what I love about you. Every other teen would've been worrying about their crush dating someone else. But here you are, fighting for what's right.
It's been ten minutes, my laptop is about to shut down
Bye, love you
Love you too

I closed the chat and turned off my laptop before she could die. She was my talent so I needed her. "Sadie!" Gaten suddenly yelled, banging on the door, scaring me and causing me to grab the nearest gun. "What is it!"
"We're out of some stuff, you go get your equipment so we can get some."
"Okay."
"Oh and notify Millie."
"I'd rather not, you do that."
"Why's that?"
"You'll see."
He gave up and walked away, towards my, sorry, Millie's room. I carefully put all the stuff that I needed in a bag and walked out with that bag and the duffel with my stuff. I walked to Noah's room, which I guess was also my room, and just walked in, not caring about my best friend being in the middle of changing and mostly naked. What is it with people being naked in my room? "Oh hey Sads." Noah greeted me, not giving a fuck either. "Have you always had that one?" I said, poking a scar on his back. "Let's see, it that the one shaped like a star or is it the long gash?"
"The star."
"Fought someone who had a branding iron, punched me with it."
"When was this?"
"Two years ago, during the Delaware mission."
"Ah, that was the one where we split up, right?"
"Yup, now what are you doing in my room?" He raised his eyebrows as he pulled up his jeans. "It's my room too, now."
"Ah, you kicked Finn out of this room and yourself out of your own."
"Yep, you excited?"
"No, I hate you." He laughed loudly before realizing the entire house could hear him and he had a reputation to uphold. It was too late. We could hear Caleb approaching quickly, followed by a "Slow down, you asshole" and some stumbling from Gaten. "Did Noah just laugh?" Caleb asked, looking into our room. I gave Noah a look and he nodded. We both grabbed a knife and said "no" before closing the door. "Put on a damn shirt, Noah."
"Yeah yeah yeah."
"I'll go check if maybe Millie is done getting dressed."
"And Finn."
"Right, him too."
I was about to knock on the door as Finn opened it to get out. I gave him the finger. "Mills, you dressed?"
"Yup, I'm ready." I made sure not to stare as she stepped out in some really revealing clothing. We walked outside in an awkward silence and I quickly walked away from her and to Caleb instead. "So, Cay, where we going?" He rolled his eyes. "I've told you something about that nickname, didn't you hear me?"
"I heard you, I just ignored you." I gave him a smirk as I dodged his hand so he wouldn't hit me. "Anyways, where are we going?"
"About twenty miles from here, I've already told them what they need to steal."
"Great. Let's go." I paused for one second before yelling. "I call shotgun." Making Noah flip me off.

About half an hour of ignoring Millie and Finn and nervously drumming my fingers on the dashboard until Caleb calmingly put his hand over mine and shot me a small smile we arrived. I jumped out the van and sneaked to the back of the store with my equipment and setting my laptop and keyboard up. After two minutes I was in, playing a loop on all in-building monitors and tapping into the cameras myself. "Okay, Millie, go in." I said, not even looking at the nervous girl next to me. She walked in and I watched her act with a blank expression. When I saw her do a dead man's salute behind her back, I gave Noah and Finn the go-ahead. Caleb and Gaten had stayed in the van as the latter still had an injured leg and they were almost inseparable. Millie was lead to the back as Finn and Noah started grabbing stuff that we needed. I bit my nails, a bad habit, as I feared for Millie. Noah and Finn were out in record time and ran to the van, leaving me alone to wait for Millie. Thirty seconds. A minute. Something was wrong. I took off my headphones and pulled out a gun, walking into the store. I heard a lot of noise coming from the back. I kicked down the door and attacked the man pinning my friend to the floor. I shot him in the leg, twice, before punching him.
One punch. I saw Millie kissing Finn.
Another punch. Millie opening the door in his shirt.
Punch. Finn's smug face when she kissed him.
Punch. Millie's eyes filling with doubt as she saw me but filling with love as she saw him.
Punch. Millie asking me if Finn loved her.
"Sadie, stop! You're killing him!"
"Good." I was about to punch him again when I felt a warm hand on my arm. I looked up and into worried hazel eyes. "Let's go." Millie whispered, pulling me up. I followed her outside and gathered my stuff without making eye contact. "Are you okay?" I mumbled, walking back to the van. "Yeah..." She whispered back, not looking at me. We got to the van and I shot Noah, who was in the passenger seat, a look that caused him to get out and get in the back instead. I handed him my equipment and got in in silence. I ignored all questions and so did Millie. No one needs to know I snapped in there. We drove home in an uncomfortable silence.
