Scarlett sat quietly at the breakfast table, the other two Hendersons also didn't dare to speak. Claudia and Scarlett would share a look from time to time while Dustin moved a piece of bacon around on his plate. Scarlett sighed. Of course, she felt horrible for Will's tragic fate, the boy was too young to have died. Not to mention that the dilemma arose of telling Floyd Henderson, who was still in New York. Blake's disappearance and Eleven were also plaguing Scarlett's mind.
The doorbell rang, but no one reacted. Scarlett continued to drink her water. Claudia's foot kicked against Scarlett's. The girl grumbled a bit as she stood up and walked towards the door. She pulled it open, glass of water still in her hand.
Scarlett frowned and looked down. "Lucas?" Scarlett raised an eyebrow at the boy, who stormed past her and ran towards Dustin. "Okay?" Scarlett frowned, blinked and closed the door.
"Dustin we have to go." Lucas pulled on his friend's arm, trying to haul Dustin out the door.
"What? Why?" Dustin asked, not getting off his chair, a strip of bacon still dangling from his mouth.
Lucas's eyes widened. "Mike." Lucas's tone was enough to make Dustin stumble off his chair and say a quick goodbye to Claudia before the two stormed past Scarlett again, who was walking back to the living room.
Scarlett had wanted to ask if it concerned Eleven, but the boys had been too quick. Instead, the teenager rubbed her tired eyes and walked towards the breakfast table.
"Do you know what that was about?" Claudia asked, she stood by the window and peered outside, watching the two boys race away on their bikes.
The teenager shrugged. "No clue." she pushed her glasses up her face and looked at Dustin's abandoned breakfast. She grabbed an extra lunchbox and packed away an extra sandwich and the last strip of bacon. She put the extra lunchbox and Dustin's lunchbox in her backpack so she could drop it off at the middle school.
"Oh well, at least they have each other." Claudia smiled as she made her way back to the table to finish her breakfast.

Scarlett tried to do her homework, but she couldn't read. The words swam before her eyes. How could she do her homework when so many things were happening in Hawkins? After Claudia left for work, Scarlett shrugged on her jacket and was about to exit the house when the phone rang. She had the first period off, but she really did need to make her way towards her school. The teenager rolled her eyes, but then realised it might be Blake, so she picked up. "Hello, this is Scarlett Henderson. Who is this?"
