You laid on your bed while browsing through Netflix, trying to find something to watch. Your little sister, Maggie, comes into your room and lays down beside you. "Hey squirt, what's up?" She looks at the TV and then at you. "Nothing much. In the mood for some TV." You keep browsing through Netflix, and come across Stranger Things. "Oh! My friends have been talking about that show non stop, can we watch it?" You click on it and click the first episode. "Fine, I'll watch ONE episode, then I'm done. I don't find these types of shows very amusing." The intro played as you and Maggie laid back and watched the show, you grabbing a bag of candy from your bedside drawer.

The first episode finished. "Sooooo, do you like it?" Maggie asked, grabbing her fifth snicker from the bag. "Eh. Kinda spectacle, I guess. Not my thing." Just then, your mom came knocking on the door. "(Y/n), Maggie, time for bed. Brush your teeth and get some sleep for school tomorrow." Maggie got up from your bed and ran to the bathroom. You turned off the TV and grabbed your phone, setting your alarm clock and getting up, closing the door, and changing into a tank top and shorts. You walk to the bathroom as Maggie walks out and brush your teeth. You walk back to your room and turned off your light, hopping into bed and getting under the covers, closing your eyes and falling asleep.

*BEEP BEEP*
Your alarm clock buzzes as you reach your tired hand over to your phone and turning it off. You sit up and stretch your arms, then get out of bed. You walk down stairs to the kitchen and grab a bowl and pour yourself a bowl of cereal. You quickly eat it and run upstairs, getting dressed. You grab your back pack and phone and rush outside. "Bye mom, bye Maggie" You walk to your car and pull your keys out of your backpack and unlock the car door and get it, starting the car.

Soon, you arrive at the school and get out of the car, shutting an locking it, then putting your keys back in your backpack. You rush inside the school and to your usual morning place. You sit at a bench and pull out your phone. The bell rings about 15 minutes later and you rush to class.

"Did you hear we're getting a new student today?" "What, really? Who is it?" "I don't know, but the teachers are making a big deal out of it. What if it's someone famous?" "Oh please, like a famous kid would go to our school" You overheard kids in the classroom talking. you sit in your seat and wait for class to start.

"Psst, (y/n), who do you think the new student is?" You look at your classmate. "I don't know. Most likely not someone famous." You roll your eyes at the thought of a famous kid coming to your cruddy, public school. Soon enough, it's lunch and everyone in the cafeteria are gossiping about when the new kid would get there. You sit at the lunch table and lay your head down. "School food sucks ass" You say to yourself. Just then, you hear girls screaming. You look up and see a familiar face walking in the cafeteria. "OH MY GOD! IT'S NOAH SCHNAPP!!!!" Girls started crowding him and asking him for autographs.

"Girls, please. There's enough to go around" He says. You roll your eyes. Wow. Sounds like a real snob. You lay your head back down and soon feel someone tapping on your shoulder. You look up and see Noah. "Hey, I'm Noah." He holds out his hand and you smile and shake it. "I'm (y/n). Nice to meet you." He points to the seat beside you. "Is this seat taken?" You sigh. "It never is. Go ahead." He sits down and smiles at you.

"Why were all those girls crowding around you?" He looks at you and his smile is so big, it's almost adorable. "Well, I'm an actor. I play Will in Stranger Things." You nod. "Ah, that's how come you look familiar. My little sister forced me to watch it last night. Not really my type of show, no Offense." He laughs "none taken. I'm just glad at least someone didn't know I was famous." You raise an eyebrow. "Why?" "Well, I guess, because people usually only want to be my friend because I'm famous. I'd really love a friend who doesn't care about my fame or money and just sees me for me." You smile at him. "Well, I guess you found yourself a new friend, then." He smiles and laughs a little.

"Hey, would you like to come over?" Noah turns around as he's walking when you ask him. "Really? I'd love to!" You both walk to your car and get in. You turn on the car and the radio comes on. "Can I... " He motions to the radio. "Yeah, of course." He changes the channel and gets buckled. "Just so you know, my little sister might freak, or not know who you are, it's one of the two." You both laugh a bit. "No worries, you saw what happened in the cafeteria. I'm used to it." You show up at your house and you both get out of the car. You walk to the front door and unlock it. "Mom! Maggie! I'm home! I brought a friend over!" You and Noah walk into the kitchen and place your backpacks on the table. "Want a snack? Or something to drink?" "Yes please, water?" You grab a cup and fill it with water and hand it to him. Maggie comes into the kitchen while singing, then she sees Noah and stops in her place, dropping her phone.

"Oh... My... God... You play Will on Stranger Things!" Noah laughed. "Yes, I do." Maggie looks over at you. "How the hell did you become friends with Noah Schnapp?" You giggle. "Because he's actually kinda cool. Just because I don't like the show, doesn't mean me and him can't be friends." Maggie shakes her head. "No, I mean, where did he come from." You sit down beside Noah, "well, you see, when a mother and a father love each other very much-" "THAT'S NOT WHAT I MEANT" you and Noah start laughing. "He's new to school. Bad thing you didn't go today because you were 'too sick." Maggie sighed "well, do y'all have any classes together?" You and Noah pull out your schedules. "We have English, biology, Math, Spanish, Human Geography, and Theatre. So we have all classes together, apparently."

Maggie smiles and walks up to you and whispers in your ear "(y/n)'s got a boooooyfrieeeeend" You push her away as she giggles. "What did she say?" You look at Noah and roll your eyes. "She's just being annoying." Suddenly, Noah's phone rings. "Sorry I have to take this" He walks into the living room and answers his phone.

Maggie sits in the seat Noah was sitting in. "So, is he gonna come here often?" You shrug. "Maybe. I mean, he's my only real friend." Maggie winks and walks away giggling, you flip her off and she mouths 'love you, too' and runs into her room. Noah comes back and sits back down. "That was my mom. She's coming to pick me up now." You nodded and cleaned up everything. "Let's go wait for her outside?" He nodded and you walked outside and sat on the bench on your porch. "So, what are you doing at Willow Creek? I mean, being an actor, I assumed you'd go to a private school." Noah giggled a bit at your assumption. "Well, I told my mom I just wanted to be a normal high school boy. I wanted to live a normal life. And whenever it's time to film for season 4, I'll just go back to Atlanta to film and then come back to school." You nodded. "That seems fair. It must be tiring being famous." "Yeah, it is. But I love it. Not for the fame or money, I don't care about that. It's just fun to act and make friends along the way." You smiled at him. He had such a good lookout on life. You looked at your feet and both sat in silence. You the felt something on your hand. You looked over and saw his hand laying on yours. You blushed and looked up at him. He smiled at you and scratched the back of his head, looking away.

"You know, you're the first person I've met that doesn't care about my fame or money. You just... Like me for me." "Well, yeah. You're just a person. Just because you're famous, doesn't mean you're any less of a person." His hand was still laying on yours. You both stared into each other's eyes. You could see him leaning in closer, and you were doing the same. You were inches apart, and suddenly weren't. He kissed you. He quickly pulled away and looked the other way. "I-I'm sorry....." You looked down and tried to contain your smile. "I-Its ok... " He cleared his throat to try to break the tension. "That was my first kiss... " His eyes went wide as he looked at you. "It was? Oh god, I'm so sorry. I didn't mean-" You giggled. "It's ok. I liked it." You both smiled at each other. Just then, you both heard a car horn and he quickly took his hand off of yours and got up. "I-I have to go... " You got up with him and smiled. "Ok.. I'll see you at school tomorrow?" He nodded and hugged you. You felt warm inside, for the first time in your life. You hugged him back and smiled. "Bye.. " He waved as he walked to his car. You waved back with a big smile. He got in his moms car and they left. You stood on the porch, thinking about what just happened. Your eyes went wide.
