December 10th 1985

Alex's P.O.V

I just endured an entire two day plane ride with that scumbag. This was the plane ride:
"Josh." " do you want to skate home two days in a row? "
"Wow." " shut up" "but it's beautiful" "ShUt Up"

What's his damage anyway? I snap out of my thoughts as I am roughly pulled away from the airport and towards the car park. "Woah!" I yelp as I nearly fell over. "I nearly fell" I say, angrily. "Well then maybe you should be more careful and pay attention to where you're going." Replied Josh snottily. Ugh. I hate him.

We got into his car with our luggage and pulled away.

-A few hours later-

we pulled into a small town. Josh stopped the car suddenly as he spotted a store.
"Stay right here brat. I'm going to go get a cigarette" he said sternly.
I slumped down into my seat, crossing my arms. As I sat I noticed a building out of the corner of my eye.

"Arcade" read the flashing sign. I grinned slightly. I would make sure to check it out...that is, if the asshole would let me. He returned to the car, a cigarette dangling from his lips. "Hey josh ...I know I'm not supposed to talk to you but I saw an arcade and was wondering if I could maybe check it out?"

Josh saw his opportunity to get rid of the brat and smiled. "Go on, I'll come back and pick you up. Here's some quarters. I'll be back in two hours."

I couldn't believe it. I thanked him, grabbed the change and rollerskated to the arcade. As soon as I walked in i spotted my favourite game, Dig Dug™ . I gasped and skated over. I played and played until I realized I was being watched. Without turning around is spoke. "Its not polite to share at strangers." I turned around, dying in the process. A ginger haired girl was staring at me in awe and confusion . "Well?" I questioned.

Max's P.O.V

As usual, I was dropped off by billy. After the whole thing last year, he was a bit nicer to me but he was still an asshole in general. I walk through the arcade and noticed some girl I've never seen before crushing my highscore..And reducing Dustin to number three.

She suddenly tensed and spoke without turning. "Its not polite to share at strangers."

I looked away in embarrasment. "Well?!" She continued. " what's your excuse? "

"I was just appreciating your skills..you're REALLY good..see? You beat my highscore and that's quite some feat here in hawkins. Dustin's going to be steamed he got beaten by a girl...again." I chuckled.

" ...Dustin? " she asked in confusion. "Who's that?"

Just as I was about to answer, a boy entered the arcade. "Shit..Got to go..my brother's gonna be pissed that I'm late. I'm Alex by the way." she said, hurriedly.

" Max" I smiled. As she skated away towards the boy and they began arguing, I felt a sense of deja vu. I frowned in confusion, before shrugging and trying to see if I could beat the new stakes.

Alex's P.O.V

"I was only three minutes late josh!" I exclaimed in annoyance.
" keyword here is late" he replied angrily as he drove away. "The only reason you're even getting off is because you don't know where we live yet."

I sat in silence for the rest of the ride.

We eventually pulled up to a cool house near to a bunch of houses and a forest.I
I ran inside, noticing that Josh had packed everything away,and found my room. It was the smallest one, but still quite spacious.
