chapter seven
junkyard invasion💗
THEY ARRIVE AT WHAT appears to be a junkyard shortly after, and whilst Lily really does try and picture how exactly they're going to use this to their advantage when re-capturing a 'baby demogorgon?' — she simply cannot see it.
"What a shithole," she says.
Steve, however, is visibly impressed with Dustin's suggestion.
"Oh, yeah," he says. "Yeah. This will do. This will do just fine,"
He removes his sunglasses (again — those are Lily's thing) and starts to walk towards the scrapped vehicles.
"Good call, dude," Steve says to Dustin, who smiles in return.
Lily feels bad for immediately dissing the place. She forgets she's not just with Steve — and it's not Dustin's fault he's landed himself a lousy companion. He's like, what? Thirteen? How could he know?
She glances at him and gives him a warm smile before they both start to follow Steve, throwing down the last of the cow meat — when a voice calls out from the opposite side of the junkyard.
"I said medium-well!"
Lily looks up to see a dark-skinned boy with a bandana and assumes this is Dustin's friend she heard earlier on his walkie. At his side is a girl with ginger hair and a green jacket. Lily recognises her as Billy Hargrove's younger sister.
"Who's that?" Steve asks, as they both make their way towards them.
Dustin doesn't reply, but it doesn't take a genius to understand the look on his face at seeing her alongside his best friend. Lily and Steve exchange glances — this is the girl Dustin told them about earlier.
"Another girl!" Lily says with a smile. "Thank God,"
It seems as though the feeling is mutual when an appreciative look flashes over the red-head's face.
