PLEASER; stranger things {ON HOLD}

03. {the assembly}

"at times like these...it is important that we come together as a community." the head started, "we come-"

he was stopped when the door slammed opened revealing mike, lucas, dustin, mr clarke and el. the mop-head tried to turn away but lucas pushed him forward.

"we come together to heal... we come together to grieve." he continued, mesmerising tilly, "will byers' death is an unimaginable tragedy. will was an exceptional student and a wonderful friend to all of us."

the four took a seat next to tilly and slater as she sat down, el gave her a smile.

"it's impossible to express the hole his loss will leave in our community."

"who is that?" slater whispered to tilly.

"shhh." tilly put a finger to her lips.

"i'd like to introduce you to sandy sloane. she's a local grief counsellor from the church over in jonesboro. but before she comes up here, i just want those of you who are having trouble dealing with this tragic loss..."

"look at these fakers." mike muttered.

"they probably didn't even know his name till today," lucas added.

troy and james began laughing considerably loudly, they found the whole assembly a joke.

"what?" james scoffed.

"who is interested in this? this is so stupid. lah, blah, blah, blah, blah..." troy continued, causing james to grin, "oh, he was such a great student. oh, he's going to leave a hole in the community."

"mouth breather." el muttered.

"teaching her bad words are you?" tilly nudged mike as the two idiots proceeded to taunt and laugh.

─── ∙ ~εïз~ ∙ ───

once the bell rang, everyone noisily and instantly made their way out the hall.

"hey! hey! hey, troy!" mike called out, "hey, troy!"

"mike don't." tilly cringed as the two shifted to face them.

"you-you think this is funny?" mike ignored her.

"what'd you say, wheeler?" troy grinned.

"you heard him." slater rolled his eyes.

"i saw you guys laughing over there." mike admitted, "and i think that's a real messed up thing to do."

"didn't you listen to the counsellor, wheeler?" james asked, "grief shows itself in funny ways."

"besides, what's there to be sad about, anyway?" troy added.

"learn some respect you jackass." tilly spat.

"what's this matilda jo?" troy laughed, "we all know you had a thing for will."

the school looked at her in shock and her face crumbled. she felt her body heating up but before she could step forward, slater pulled her back.

"the hell?" slater hissed, he looked at his palms and they were now red.

"do you still like him? you have a thing for dead boys?" troy resumed, "well sorry but will's in fairyland now, right? flying around with all the other little fairies. all happy and gay!"

"you're sick." tilly grimaced.

"lalalala." troy danced around like a fairy before walking off.

mike stepped up and shoved him to the ground. the crowd exclaimed as troy grunted.

"oooo." slater laughed.

"you're dead, wheeler! dead!" troy walked forward but was stopped by a force.

he stood there and tilly could see blood oozing out el's nose. randomly, a wet patch began forming around troy's trousers.

"dude, troy peed himself." greg mccorkle pointed out, they all began laughing as troy flushed with embarrassment.

"ew."

"holy shit!" dustin grinned.

"hey!" mr coleman exclaimed, "what's going on here?"

"mike!" lucas exclaimed, "let's go!"

tilly felt a hand attaching to her wrist and she was being pulled away.

"mj?" slater watched as dustin dragged her.

"i'll explain later." tilly sighed.
