Rain patters on the ground quietly, thunder cracks in the distance. The group of teens now back at Mike's house start to interrogate the strange girl. Y/N huffs heavily.

"Is there a number we can call for your parents?" Mike asks the mysterious girl.

"Where's your hair? Do you have cancer?" Dustin pesters.

"Did you run away?" Lucas asks.

"What, Who are you?!?!" Y/N yelps. Thunder crackles in the background.

"Are you in some kind of trouble?" Mike questions. The girl begins to sink into herself slowly. The lightning illuminated her small face. She was terrified.

"Is that blood?" Lucas tried to touch the girl but Mike slaps his hand away.

"Stop it your freaking her out!" Mike shouts.

"She's freaking me out!" Lucas replies.

"I bet she's deaf," Dustin claps in front of her face, she jolts back looking at Dustin in horror. Who were these strange people? She thought.

"Not Deaf."

"Obviously!" Y/N rolled her eyes, who was this girl?!

"That's enough, alright she's just scared," Mike says looking at each of his friends.

"Scared my ass, she's probably a Russian spy or something, or, maybe a supervillain or-or-" Y/N says glaring at the poor girl.

"Stop it," Mike looks at Y/N scoldingly.

"She's probably cold," Mike turns to go grab the girl a pair of clean clothes. Everyone stares at her. The Thunder cracks making the girl jump. Y/N crosses her arms and sits on the stairs huffing. Mike hands her the articles of fabric. She smells the clothes and begins to undress.

"No, no, no, no, no!" Mike stops her. The other boys turn away screaming and mumbling incoherent words. What was she doing?! Is she mental in the brain?! They all thought.

"Oh my god," Y/N laughs, this girl was trying to get naked in front of everyone! What the hell? Y/N though.

"There's a bathroom over there," Mike points. "Privacy. Get it?" The girl walks in with the clothes gripped in her cold hands. She looks around for a minute, Mike tries to close the door but she stops him, looking into his eyes.

"You don't want it closed?" He tilts his head thoroughly confused.

"No," she says her voice a bit gravely.

"Oh, so she speaks," They hear Y/N scoff, Mike ignores her.

"Okay... Um, well. Um, how about we just keep the door..." Mike moves it a few inches leaving it a crack open. "Just like this."
