ASPEN | Stranger Things

Chapter Eleven | Starcourt

"Isn't it past your bedtime?" Lucas glared at his sister as he walked by.

"Isn't it time you died?" Erica sassed back she then smiled at me. "Hi, Aspen!"

"Hi, Erica!" I waved at her.

Lucas rolled his eyes. "Psycho!"

"Butthead!"

"Mallrat!"

"Fart face!"

Lucas then blew a raspberry and Max had enough of it, grabbing her boyfriends arm and dragging him away. "Oh, that was mature," Max tells Lucas.

We then entered the ice cream, where Steve worked at. He can get us free entrants, he agreed to it. We've been actually doing it for the past month now, ever since he worked here. We can sneak around the back.

We walked right over to the counter, where Robin works. Mike dings on the bell. "Hey, dingus, your children are here." Robin spits sarcastically.

Steve then opens the windows behind the work counter. "Again? Seriously?" Steve questions, annoyed. Mike then pressed the bell again. Steve leads us to the back. "Come on, come on." He tried to hurry us up. "I swear if anyone hears about this-"

"We're dead!" We all speak in sync, clearly knowing our consequences. We snuck to the entrance of the movie theatres.

"All clear," Mike says and opens the door. We act casual and walked through the entrance. We entered the right movie and sat down at the front where there were some spare seats.

I hope no one paid for these.

"See, Lucas? We made it." Mike then stated.

"We missed the previews," Lucas tells Mike. Which was true, we did miss the previews.

"Still made it. Fart face." Max bickered, Lucas sighed and shakes his head, smiling. Max smiled too and faced the movie screen.

I was between Will and Mike. I inch a bit closer to Will who clearly noticed. There's also something else that I got in the holidays. Feelings. Lots and lots of feelings towards Will.

Not in a friendship kind of way, no, but a crush is starting to come along. Will then got out the snacks from his bag and I hand Mike a can of sprite. Will hands me a plastic water bottle, which I was surprised. I'm not that big of a fan of soda, they taste gross.

I'm surprised that Will actually got me something to drink. I smiled gratefully and take the water out of his hands, he smiled back. I remember I told him once that I didn't like soda at all, he actually remembered that.

To be fair, I told everyone that I didn't like soda because we were all out for dinner one time. They all stared at me like I had something on my face.

Mike nudged me a little, a teasing grin on his face. I rolled my eyes. I might've spilt the beans to Mike that I liked Will. Mike had apologised to me for being a dick for the first months we've been friends, I accepted it because I believe people do get second chances.

The film begins, it was a horror film. I hated horror films back Max blackmailed me into coming. She loved horror films. She said that Will be here and she'll ask whether or not Will likes me back. I didn't want that happening, I don't want my poor heart crushed when he says he doesn't like me back.

The audio then stops, my eyes widening. Thank the lord!

I grinned and the others all looked annoyed, just like the rest of the crowd. "Right, lets leave!" I chirp, standing up.

"No!" Mike tells me, pulling me back down. "The powers probably temporary, ya know?" Then the power turns back on and everyone else cheered, while I groan and lean back in my seat.

Max laughed at me. I looked over at Will and he was touching the back of his neck, looking out of it.

"Hey," I slightly nudged him and he gasps a little before looking at me. "You okay?"

"Yeah," Will nodded.

"Are you sure?" Mike joined in our conversation, leaning over slightly.

Will nodded, smiling a little. "Of course."

"Okay," Mike nodded back and turned to the film. I slipped my hand through Will's, trying to make him feel that he's not alone.

Will looked down at our linked hands, my heart raised. Wait, did he not want this? I tried to pull back, but, he gripped onto my hand, stopping me. His grip loosens, leaving our hands linked together.
