Jessica Hernandez.
Best friends with Mike Wheeler, Will Byers, Lucas Sinclair and Dustin Henderson.
A real pottymouth.
Known as the Scholar of the group.
Or 'Bookworm' to Troy and his 'minions'.
She doesn't like to admit it but, she has a die-hard c...
"I just...I can't believe she didn't come back." Mike sighed, pacing.
"She's gotta be close," Dustin says, reassuring Mike and Jess, who was also very worried.
"She said it wasn't safe. She just messed up the compasses because she wanted to protect us. She didn't betray us!" Mike exclaimed.
"Mike, calm down."
"I shouldn't have yelled at her. I never should've done that."

"Mike this isn't your fault," Jess says, looking at him.
"Yeah, it's Lucas'," Mike says.
"It wasn't his fault either...well...except for the part of accusing Jess," Dustin says, pausing and adding the last part.
Mike stopped and looked at Dustin, Jess doing the same thing.
"It wasn't his fault?"
"No."
"So you're saying he wasn't way out of line?" Mike asked.
"Totally, but so were you!" Dustin exclaimed.
"What?"
"And so was Eleven."
"How was Eleven way out of- oh," Jess says, before rolling her eyes as Dustin nodded at her before turning to Mike.
But, Dustin was right.
Eleven was out of line for messing with the compasses.
"Oh, give me a break!" Mike groaned.
"No, Mike. you give me a break! All three of you were being a bunch of little assholes! Jess and I were the only reasonable ones. The only reason she ran off was because of what Lucas said. But the bottom line is...you pushed first. And you know the rule. You draw first blood..."
Jess' eyes widened, her jaw opening.
"Are you kidding?!"
"No! No way! I'm not shaking his hand." Mike exclaimed, crossing his arms.
"You're shaking his hand!"
"No, I'm not!"
"This isn't a discussion. This is the rule of law. Obey or be banished from the party. Do you want to be banished?"
Mike sighed.
"No."
"Good. Besides, you're not the only one who needs to shake hands. Lucas needs too as well for drawing first blood with Jess."
Jess groaned.
"He's going to do a lot more than shake hands with me for me to consider him my friend again."
Dustin nodded, getting his jacket and bag.
"Where are we going?"
"What do you think? We're going to get Lucas. And then we're gonna find Eleven." he says, throwing him his backpack.
