*ONLY PLAY THE SONG WHEN IT SAYS* (K thx.) 

About a week has passed from that sleepover. One week of filming. One week of figuring out feelings. And I still feel just so confused. I don't know. But, I guess today was the day I figure it all out. The kiss scene. Amanda and Will are supposed to kiss at the quarry. Oh my god. My stomach turns into a knot anytime I think about that. I mean, this was my first kiss! Oh my god. Noah Schnapp is my first kiss. Holy shit. I'm getting nauseous. 

"Y/N! Come on! We don't have all day!" I hear Ross Duffer yell. I've been sitting in the bathroom stall for maybe eight minutes, just scared, and excited, but nervous, and worried. It's just a whole entire mix of emotions. I stand up and open the stall door. I walk up to the sink and look in the mirror.  

"You can do this, Y/N," I tell myself. "You got this. Just pretend he's... Zac Efron! Yeah! You get to kiss Zac Efron! Yup. I'm gonna kiss Zac Efron today! THE Zac Efron! Wait, What? No. No. No. Y/N, you're not kissing Zac Efron. You're kissing Noah Schnapp. Yup. Mhmm. Y/N's kissing Noah. Yeah." I tell myself. "Not Zac Efron. Noah Schnapp. Get your head in the game (pun intended) and get out there and kiss him! YEAH! WOOHOO!!!!" I hype myself up. I head out the bathroom door and start jogging onto the set, pumped and hyped up. Suddenly, my eyes fall on Noah, just sitting down on the dirt trail looking at his phone. I stop jogging and stand there for a second. Shit. I can't do this. Oh my god. I CANNOT DO THIS. No. Nope. Not doing it! I'm going back to the bathroom! I AM NOT DOING THIS TODAY! NOPE. NO. GOODBYE. I turn around and start walking into the bathroom again. I feel a hand grab my arm. I turn around to see Millie standing there. 

"Millie. I can't." I tell her. 

"Y/N. You can." She responds. She let's go of my arm. "I did it two times. You can do it once." She tells me. 

"Yeah but that was a quick peck! This is a serious, full on make out session!!!" I whisper-yell. 

"Well, they both had lips involved. Look, Y/N. You're going to get on set. Say your lines and kiss him. Okay?" Millie's voice gets serious. I nod and slowly start walking over to set with Millie, my head down. The crunch of the gravel under my shoes is the only sound I'm paying attention to. I lift my head up, and I see Noah stand up and put his phone away. We look at each other. No words. But we don't need any words. I quickly turn around, ending the long awkward stare. Caleb, Gaten and... Finn. They're gonna watch the kiss. Oh my god. I start getting nervous again. I start feeling hot and sick. Oh my god. I never thought about that. People are going to be watching me kiss Noah. Holy shit. Fuck. Shit. Shit shit shit shit. That's too much pressure. All of those eyes. Fuck. Shit. FOR FUCKS SAKE!

"Hey, don't feel pressured, okay? Y/N, I had to do it too. With even more people because Finn and I were at the snowball. And look at me, I'm alive." Millie says. 

"Wait, how did you know I was-" I get cut off.

"I saw it in your face." Millie responds. 

"Ok, well yeah. I would hope you were alive." I respond. She rolls her eyes. 

"Point is, you're going to do fine. Don't focus on anything else, just focus on Noah. Be in the moment. This is your first kiss! Make it count! Okay?" Millie says.

"Okay." I nod. I hop on my bike. I look at Noah, who is also on his bike. 

"You ready?" He asks.

"Yeah. I'm good." I respond with a smile.  

 *In Stranger Things Perspective*

Me and Will hop onto our bikes and start riding over to the quarry. Our tires crunch the dirt road below us. We ride in silence for a while, until the quarry comes into view in front of us. 

"Wanna stop here?" Will asks me. 

"Yeah, sure," I respond, leaning my bike up against a tree. Me and Will walk up to the rock ledge that's over the quarry's thousand foot drop. Will and I plop down at the edge of the rock, letting out legs hang off the edge.

*PLAY MUSIC NOW*

"So... this is where you supposedly fell off and died?" I ask him. (Lol sorry that was rlly not romantic lmao)

"I mean, yeah I guess." Will responds, looking down at his feet as he kicks them in the air. 

"And you were, in the Upside Down when that happened?" I ask him. He nods. "For how long?" I say.  

"Like six days." He responds. 

"Oh geez. That's really long." I tell him. 

"Yeah. It was. Long and scary. It was so dark. And, I-I. I just... I was so lonely. And afraid. I thought I would die down there." He looks up at me. 

"But, you're okay now." I look at him.

"Yeah. I'm okay now." He smiles and quickly looks away. We sit there, not talking for a moment, just kicking our feet in the air, and looking down into the water. I finally break the silence.  

"Hey, I have a question." I say. 

"Yeah?" Will responds. 

"Why, why do you guys hang out with me?" I ask him, looking up from my feet to meet his eyes. 

"What? What do you mean?" He says. 

"I mean, I'm just so different. I have these powers and, and I'm literally a freak." I say. 

"Okay, yeah. You are a freak. But I am too. And so is El, and Mike and Lucas and Dustin. There's nothing wrong with being different." Will tells me. "What's so bad about it?" He asks. 

"Because, well. If you're a freak, then nobody likes you. You're the ugly duckling. The black sheep." I respond. 

*Back to Y/N's Perspective*

"Well. Umm." Noah stammers. His face becomes red. He coughs. "I-I like you..." He trails off. My stomach turns. My hands start getting sweaty. I can feel my face get hot. 

"You... you do?" I ask, meeting him in the eyes. 

"Y-Yeah... A lot." Noah looks at me. We stare into each other's eyes, forgetting about everybody behind us, behind the camera. Noah slowly starts coming closer. I move my head an inch closer to his. I tilt my head to the right just a bit. Holy shit. Here it comes. Noah get's close enough where I can see a small drop of sweat just below his hairline. We inch closer a bit more. The tension in the area is so strong. Oh my god. Oh my god. Oh my god. We get closer to each other even more, and I can feel Noah's soft breath on my face. He tilts his head to the left and I slowly close my eyes, getting ready for impact. We get closer and closer every second. Suddenly, Noah's lips hit mine. AHHHHHH. HOLY SHIT. His lips are on mine, and mine are on his. I kiss him again, slowly. And kisses me back, and we just kiss. Our lips go together like two puzzle pieces that fit perfectly. He slowly kisses me again, taking his time. I answer his kiss with another one. His lips are so soft. I wish this moment could last forever. We kiss again, slowly and calmly as the camera circles around us even slower. He kisses me one last time. I kiss him back, and then we slowly pull apart from each other. Noah's face is brick red. I smile and look down at my feet. 

"I-I like you too Will," I say, meeting his eyes once more. The camera zooms-out and the scene finishes. Everybody behind the set starts clapping and I'm so embarrassed. I chuckle and look up at Noah. He rubs the back of his neck and awkwardly smiles. Everybody keeps clapping, making it so awkward. Noah looks at me. 

"You know, you're not to bad for your first time..." He trails off. I blush. 

"Yeah. You too Schnapp." I blush and Noah and I just smile at each other. I hope that's not the last time we get to kiss. Him and I get up and everybody finishes clapping. Millie runs over to me and gives me a tight hug. I hug her back. 

"I knew you could do it." She says. I smile and hug her with a smile on my face. 

"Thanks, Mills." 


OH. MY. FUCKING. GOD. AHHHHHHH!!!! YAY WE FINALLY KISSED *does some weird dance* That scene made me really happy to write, and I hope you guys were really happy reading it!
