Kendall Rogers had spent the night of November 6th, 1983, in her room doing her Geometry homework while she waited for her little brother, Marcus to get her home from Mike Wheelers house. But Kendall never stayed up long enough to see Marcus come home instead, she had fallen asleep on her homework.
She woke up the next morning to the sound of her alarm clock blaring. The clock read '7:00 am', meaning the girl had to get up for school. As she was getting ready, she quickly remembered her night prior. She never finished her homework.
Kendall quickly grabbed her geometry workbook and a pencil, running to the kitchen.
She stood at the stove, looking back and forth between the skillet of eggs on the burner and her homework beside her when a knock sounded on the door.
Kendall's grandmother, Helena or Lena as she liked to be called, walked towards the door.
"Oh, well hello Jonathan." Helena cooed, making Kendall slightly peak her head out from the kitchen to see Jonathan Byers at her door.
"Would you like to come in?" Lena asked. Jonathan Byers stood in the doorway awkwardly, looking around the inside of the house before slowly taking a step in.
He threw his hands in his pockets as he looked back and forth between Kendall and Lena. "My mom has been calling you guys. you haven't answered so she wanted me to check on you guys."
Helena quickly put a hand to her heart, looking at Jonathan. "Oh, I'm sorry. Kenny wasn't up yet and I was still getting ready. Is everything alright?"
Jonathan slowly nodded, turning to Kendall who stood behind her grandmother. "Did Will sleepover? He's not home."
Kendall's brows furrowed, shaking her head. "I don't know. I haven't woken up Marcus yet."
Helena groaned hitting her side slightly. "Oh, for Christ sake child! You two need to be at school in 10 minutes and you haven't even woken the poor boy up yet?"
Helena walked towards her grandsons room, leaving Kendall and Jonathan alone. Kendall was watching the ground awkwardly before clearing her throat, turning to Jonathan. "Do you want something to eat?"
Jonathan quickly shook his head. "No, it's alright. I already ate." Kendall nodded, going to look back to the ground but stopped when she saw her grandma come back into the room.
Kendall watched as her grandmother cleared her throat, turning to Jonathan. "I'm sorry Will's not here. Neither is Marcus."
...
"So you don't know where he might be?" Jonathan asked as he and Kendall walked to his house, thinking that the boys could be in the woods. The Rogers lived in between The Henderson's and The Byers so Will and Marcus could've been somewhere in between the two boys houses.
Kendall shook her head, looking down at the leaves she stepped on. "I don't know... He likes going to the arcade but that's on the other side of town plus it's a school day but he doesn't like going early."
