"So how was the arcade? You win any games? Did you get any strange feelings?" Joyce said while driving Will home.

"Oh ya. It was fun. A new kid join our party."

Will said while looking outside the window.

"Oh that's cool. Was he good at the video games" Joyce asked.

"Actually she didn't talk nor play that much." Will said noticing the fact that his mom was surprised.

"Oh it's her. Is she pretty?" she said giving will a little nudge.

"Mm ya I guess." Will answered back giving her a half smile and then continuing to look out the window some more.

As they got home Johnathan was making dinner.

​Back at elevens house:
Eleven handed me some clothes after eating and told me to take a shower. As I was figuring out how to work everything I heard a slam on the door and someone's voice that sounded deep and man like.

"I thought I told you to pick up after yourself. Wait whys the shower on?" Hopper said.

"Um it's nine." Eleven replied hoping that he wouldn't get mad.

"Who the Hell is nine." He said walking by the bathroom door and banning on it.

"Hey get out and come out here." He said with the banging noise getting louder and louder.

The door opens and there nine was with her hair down and eyes full of fear staring up at him.

"H-hi." I said not knowing what he was going to do.

"Who are you and why are you here?" he said in a stern voice.

"I'm Nicole and I was lost and looking for s-shelter." I replied.

Hopper turned around and looked at eleven.

"She's just like me. She came from the labority and is just looking for a home." Eleven said begging him.

"What do you mean just like you?" Eleven eyed me and told me to show him.

I picked up a book with my mind and then set it gently back down.

"Ok, ok. Um you can stay here but how do we know you're not spying on up from the labitory." He said eyeing me.

"Because, I'm not going back to that place where they....." I stopped talking and had another flash back.

"Ok I want you to go through that hole in the wall." The man said as he pointed to a hole that had vines coming out of it.

I looked up at him and walked slowly to the portal. As I stood right in front of it I could hear shrieks coming out of it. Loud screams and monster like sounds coming from the portal as I looked back at them, they eyed me to keep going forward.

"Nine, did you hear that? You can stay." Eleven said with a smile on her face.

As I got ready for bed she placed blankets on the couch and told me that that was where I sleep.

"You have school tomorrow. So you should probably go to sleep. Goodnight" Eleven said in a comforting voice.

As Eleven got into her room I whispered goodnight and went to sleep.

Now sleeping wasn't always easy. My dream weren't my dreams either. They were his memories, of killing, spreading. It was the upside down world and I was living through the experience of going inside all over again.

​The next morning I ate some eggos and got ready for school. As I was walking there I meet up with Max.

"Hi." she greeted me as I smiled and just kept walking.

When it was science the teacher kept on talking over and over again about cells.

While I was drawling 'him' my pen accidently slipped out of my hands and feel to the floor. Just as I was about to bend over and pick it up I heard a voice.

"Uh here you go."

As I looked at who said it I saw Will sitting there handing me my pencil. He looked shy but had a half smile on his face. I took the pencil.

"Thank you" I said trying to hide my smile.

"Ya no problem." He said while we were both blushing.

This feeling that came over me was just like having the cat by me all over again except the cat was a human, a boy, Will.

As the teacher continued the lesson I tore out a new paper and started to draw a cat. It was a sign of love and comfort that I could feel coming over me once again.

When it was lunch Mike and Lucas started talking.

"Do you think eleven could ever go to this school?" Mike whispered to Lucas.

"I don't know. That might be suspicious." Lucas replied.

At the name of eleven I looked at both of them ease dropping on their conversation.

"But I don't think we should be talking about this in front of... you know who." Lucas said and then noticing me looking there way. "What are you looking at" Lucas said.

I quickly looked down and continued eating my lunch.

"So you like drawling too" will asked.

"Yes." I said looking at his eyes.

"Nice. I saw you drawling in science. Can I see it?" he asked

"No!" I said as I felt the feeling coming over me.

It wasn't the same feeling with the cat. It was the feeling of him, taking over me. I didn't see will as a cute kid any more. It was more like I saw him as a target. I quickly snapped out of it but this time it was a little harder. I saw him looking at me with puppy eyes and he quickly looked down, kicking the grass at his feet.

"I'm sorry. It's just its..... Um Private." I said hoping that he would look back at me again.

"No its ok." He said.

His eyes didn't meet mine but at least I saw a half smile trying to escape his lips. As the bell rang I continued my day.
