the breakfast club ( stranger things. )

01.

As Mike's father drove off, Lucas Bender crosses the street confidently with a pair of sunglasses resting on the bridge of his nose. A car was suddenly almost an inch away from hitting Lucas, but the trouble maker didn't react and simply continued his way to Hawkins High School.

The car that was only an inch away from hitting Lucas had Elanor Reynolds walking out of her disappointed father's car. She shuts the car door with such a force that the car began to wobble. She stops at her tracks in hopes of gaining her father's attention. The moment she turned around her father was far gone.

As Will walks inside the empty school library he notices six tables that were all in two rows of three. Only one seat was taken and that was taken by the most popular girl of Hawkins High, Maxine Standish. Will decides to take a seat behind the pretty redhead as Mike walks in.

Mike points at the empty seat beside Maxine, asking silently if the seat was available. She simply shrugs with her arms crossed. As Mike finally claimed his spot, in walks Lucas. His careless self decided to touch every object that was near him and takes a few things in the process. As he heads his way to the empty desks, he eyes the pretty redhead that sat across from him as he slips off his sunglasses.

Lucas reaches Will who was already comfortably seated. fear suddenly rises across his pale face from the sight of Lucas. Lucas points to the empty table beside him causing the scrawny boy to rush to the other empty desk leaving perfect space for Lucas to get comfortable in.

All eyes were suddenly on Eleanor who was the last to walk in. From head to toe, every clothing she wore was black making her ten times more noticeable. She rushes her way to the farthest desk from all of them. Both Maxine and Mike couldn't help but snicker from the sight of her.

Everyone's attention was finally back at the front of the library once everyone was settled. Within minutes, Principal Brenner walks in with a few blank sheets of paper in his hands. His thick grey hair was held back from the amount of jell he used.

He stared at each and every one of them with such disgust that you would wonder how he ever got the job.

"Well... well, here we are! I want to congratulate you for being on time." Maxine bites her glossy lip nervously as she raises her hand.

"Excuse me, sir? I think there's been a mistake. I know it's detention, but umm, I don't think I belong here." Brenner could care less about her concerns and decided to continue speaking.

"It is now seven-oh-six." Will quickly glances at his brand new wristwatch seeing that exact time.

"You have exactly eight hours and fifty-four minutes to think about why you're here. To ponder the error of your ways." Lucas then spits into the air and lets the disgusting liquid fall back into his mouth. Maxine was close to gagging from the sight of that.

"You may not talk, you will not move from these seats," As Will was prepared to move to the seat beside him he rushes back to his old seat. "...and you,"

Principal Brenner suddenly yanks the chair that Lucas was using as a footrest and placed the chair far from him. "... will not sleep." Brenner smiles wickedly at them all.

"Alright people, we're gonna try something new today. We are going to write an essay." Not a single reaction peeped through these five students.

"No less than a thousand words." Brenner begins to place a blank sheet of paper on each used desk. "Describing to me who you think you are."

Will couldn't help but ask. "Is this a test?"

"And when I say essay, I mean essay." With not a care in the world, Lucas places his feet back up on the desk comfortably.

"I do not mean a single word repeated a thousand times."

"Is that clear Mr. Bender?" Lucas looks up from his seat.

"Cristal." He stated bitterly. A satisfied grin spread on Brenner's face.

"Good. Maybe you'll learn a little something about yourself. Maybe you'll even decide whether or not you will return." Will eagerly raises his hand while standing back on his feet.

"Uhh, you know that I can answer that right now sir, that would be no, no for me cause -"

"Sit down Johnson." Will nods with his head held low.

"My office, right across that hall. Any monkey business will be ill-advised. Questions?" Mike shakes his head.

"Yeah, I got a question," Lucas says.

"Does Barry Manilow know that you raid his wardrobe." A few begin to snicker.

"I'll give you the answer to that question, Mr. Bender, next Saturday. Don't mess with the bull young man, you'll mess with the horns." He eyes them all one last time and finally storms off to his office.

"That man is a brownie hound," Lucas says as he watches him walk farther away.

As everyone started to shuffle in there seats to grow comfortable, an echoing click fills the large library. Soon enough, everyone had discovered where the noise was coming from. Everyone's attention was placed on the odd girl sitting in the corner who was busy biting her nails off.

Eleanor could feel everyone's eyes on her landing on her causing her to freeze. She glares at all of them harshly as they all stare at her confused. She could care less about all of them and decided to continue to bite the heck out of her nails.

"If you keep eating your hand then you're not gonna be hungry for lunch." Eleanor spits out a piece of her nail to Lucas as he continues to eye her oddly just like the rest of them. Principal Brenner peaks his out of his office to get a small glimpse of the five kids sitting silently in the lonely library. That's when they all knew it was going to be a long day for everyone.
