Stranger Things Imagines

Mike Imagine

(Season 2)
*Spoiler warning*

You were riding your bike to the Palace Arcade. It was your favorite place, your get away. It just so happen that you were going the same night that Mike, Dustin, Lucas, and Will were. Like, everyday you placed your bike on the rusty old rack in front of the place and pushed the door open.

The smell of sweaty nerds and pizza filled your nostrils, and you looked for your favorite game, Dig Dug. You love playing it because it was your dads favorite. You and him played together until he took off one day, now Dig Dug seems like the only thing that makes you feel connected to him anymore.

So, you were really good at it, and you made a promise to yourself that you would beat the #1 high score in the board. Named, "DUSTIN". Who's Dustin? You didn't know, all you cared was fulfilling your promise.

You were in the middle of a game, and the arcade keeper was right down your neck, crunching his signature cheese puffs out the bag. You were afraid that his states would mess you up once again. Like always, you would mess up before you could get pass 35,500. This time, he left and it seemed like he was walking with a purpose.

It wasn't but a few seconds later that you heard the thumping of a few sets of footsteps in your direction. You could see in the glass of Dig Dug that a group of nerdy, but cute looking boys. One in particular caught you eyes. He was scrawny, with dark hair, brown eyes pale skin, and wore a blue jacket and sneakers.

The horrid sound of the Dig Dug game over theme filled your ears signaling that your turn was up. You looked up at the top of the screen showing that in fact you did beat this, 'DUSTIN'. Now you were filling the name slot proudly showing off to the drooling boys behind you. Once you were done, you turned around to the boys.

"We didn't mess you up did we?" One of them asked, the one with the striped shirt and green jacket on. "Yeah, but it's okay I still beat 'DUSTIN". You air quoted whoever Dustin was. The curly haired one with the cap on slightly moved you to the side watching the displayed screen. Indeed, like he saw I beat his score by at least 50,000.

"How!" He beat his fists onto the machine with anger, seeing as his spot on top was replaced with 'Y/N'. The three others looked over to whom I'm guessing is Dustin's shoulders.
"75,350!??!" The cute one was appalled at your amazing score and you couldn't help but laugh at their expressions.

"Good game y/n, but I will beat you." Dustin shook your hand. "I'm Dustin, thats Lucas, Will, and," Dustin pointed his thumb at the cute boy you've been gushing over. "That's Mike." Mike, his name guy him well. "Hey guys! I'm y/n, you guys come here often?" The boys all nodded their heads still in awe that a girl, a GIRL has the high score on Dig Dug:

"Yeah, every day. So, y/n what school do you go to?" Mike asked stepping forward. "Hawkins middle, I just moved here." I smiled at him. "Really!? We go there too!" All of them smiled and looked to each other with an ecstatic expression on their faces.

"Cool, maybe we can hang out one time?" Mike nervously asked.

"I'd like that." You blushed at the boys sweet offer. You knew you would be great friends and maybe even something more......
