INDIANA, HAWKINS. BYERS RESIDENCE.

"so what do you guys want for dinner?" joyce asked once we got inside the house. me and will chucked out bags on the ground and jumped to the sofa. "can be anything you want Johnathans out tonight," she said, taking off her coat and put her keys in her pocket.

"well were gonna watch a movie tonight, a scary one," will said and looked to me with a toothy grin I rolled my eyes and crossed my arms like a child.

"I don't know how you've managed to convince me to watch nightmare on elm street," I told him and he laughed, joyce came round to the living room with a box of pepperoni pizza. we both nodded as she put it in her small oven.

"hey let go castle byers for a bit," I suggested and will looked at me confused, I quickly mouthed 'mike'. he nodded and looked to his mom.

"can we mom?" He asked standing up and walked towards the kitchen.

"sure you can I'll come get you once it's cooked," joyce told us with a smile, we again linked arms and headed off to the small den.

he wore a bluefish purple plaid shirt with some baggy trousers and trainers. I wore the same outfit I wore when I first met will.

"you know this outfit's my favourite," he told me and looked at me. I smiled at him and gave him one of the side hugs whilst out arms connected.

"I like yours to, but my favourites probably the one you wore when me and max were sent out of class," I told him and he smiled brightly towards me.

"that jumper and these jeans?" he questioned looking at his jeans and back to me. I nodded whilst he gave me a look of confusion. "why that?" he asked I shrugged, seeing castle byers not too far.

"dunno it looked really nice on you,"I told him and he smiled at me as we walked inside of castle byers.

"okay so what happened with mike?" he asked and I looked to him.

"he said some shit about how I don't know the group and I should watch my step otherwise I'll be kicked out," I told him, his eyes sort of widened and looked at me worryingly. "you okay?" I asked and he nodded.

"yeah I'm okay, it's just that's not like him," he told me, I nodded and sat down.

"well I mean everybody has secrets, and they'll soon share it, I have secrets, you have secrets, like c'mon mike grow up a little," I said and laughed it off, will looked kinda scared so I gently took hold of his hand. "you sure you're alright?" I asked and he smiled at me.

"I told you im okay, and was that all that mike said?" he asked, holding my hand.

"he did say the party has rules but he never told them to me so..." I said, smiling. he nodded and smiled back at me.

"oh also you and max need to stop in science," he told me and looked at me in the eye seriously.

"what? that how we make the lessons more fun!" I told him and he frowned.

"some people enjoy the class," he told me and folded his arms.

"I mean..." I said laughing at his slightly annoyed pouty face. "well you've got to admit when me and max was sent out it was pretty funny, mr. Clarke even laughed!" I convinced him he shrugged and kind of laughed with me.

"I guess..." he said shyly, smiling. I started laughing hysterically I still wasn't over that day. we had been talking about the night before when I stayed and her brothers fell over with his crack hanging out she was screaming 'crack!' And 'cracks illegal!' we were talking about it in science and we laughed so hard that I leant back and fell off my chair, some of the classmates laughed, I could see mr.clarke look at us frustrated but laugh when I fell over. I could've sworn my face was wet from cry laughing.

"what was you guys even laughing about?" he asked, I began to laugh again just remembering school and the actual scene.

"b-basically, we was talking bout when i staid round her house and her brother billy fell over- hahahahahhaha!" I cried, thinking about max screaming. "his ass crack was hanging out and she was screaming! crack! cracks illegal! bahahhahahah!" I started I laughed and felt a tear of joy run down my face as clutched my stomach. I could see will beginning to laugh a little. "I was laughing so much at school I leant back and fell off my chair," I told wiping to tears still giggling.

"oh I wish I saw it," will said and looked at his weirdly and giggled. "Not in that way," he quickly said and I started to laugh hysterically.

"what you lot laughing about?" we heard Joyce outside, I looked as will stood outside whilst I calmed myself down a little.

"when y/n fell off a chair in science the other day," will said opening the little doorway showing me wiping away my tears and still laughing.

"well c'mon dinners ready," she told us and we left walking back to the house.

so it's the been four days since I've gone back to school and I've been given out some homework, I need to buy folders for myself, for literally every subject, we have tests coming up and I just- ugh. I fucking hate school so much.
