"Wings 'n' Stranger Things"
"Honey, don't you have somewhere to be?" My mom asks me as I snag a hot wing from her plate. She rolls her eyes and pinches my arm.
"What time is it?"
"Almost four." She points to the time on the microwave. When did they set that?
"Damn, I'm supposed to meet Jerrod and D.W at five." I hurriedly lick wing sauce from my fingers and pull my phone from my pocket. I send a text to our group chat letting them know I'm going to be late as I walk down the hall to my room.
What in the hell have I been doing all day? It's my day off, I'm supposed to be having fun and yet I've been in my room all day binge-watching How to Get Away with Murder. Shit. I shrug before grabbing the darkest clothes in my closet, black jeans, black shirt, black sweater, and a pair of black and white converse. My phone pings with a message of four eye-rolling emojis from D.W and a fist and hearts eyes from Jerrod. We're supposed to be seeing a horror movie about demonic possession that I'm not looking forward to. Horror movies trigger my nightmares but Jerrod swears it's not that scary and I haven't been able to hang out with them in weeks between my job and classes so I sort of agreed to go. The, instantly regretted it. I'm bringing my earphones just in case Jerrod is bullshitting me. When I get back down the hall I see my mom has left her hot wings unattended so I grab the entire styrofoam container and run out of the door.
Between my slow walking and the bus not only being fifteen minutes late but broken down on the side of the road, I'm three blocks away from the theater and the damn movie starts in five minutes. I hate running but I suck it up and take off down the sidewalk dodging disgruntled people on my way. I'm nearly there, I can see Jerrod's 6'2 frame towering over a swarm of people but something else grabs my attention.
It's like it's not even there, everyone is passing him by even I do for just a second but I stop myself. The thing from my nightmares is standing right there and Brenda pops into mind, seeing her and that thing, then the janitor's closet, what it said to me, it was real? But if it's real then, why am I seeing another one? Is it time?
Its back is no longer to me and it tilts its head in confusion. I don't know why but I follow its movements as the question I want to asks burns at the back of my throat. I ask... him?
"Are you here for me?" His black eyes leave me for just a second to look behind him then they're back on mine and if it were even possible, I think I see something like astonishment on the human face that's peeking at me from within the smoke. He doesn't answer though and for whatever reason, I feel myself starting to fear him a little less.

So, this is the first chapter lol. It's weird and needs serious revision but I literally wrote it in an hour after I realized the original first chapter would fit better as the second chapter😂😂😂 but anyways meet September 😍😍
Also, unlike Remembering Grey this story alternates POV's so the next chapter will be Colin's ✌✌✌
