4: The weirdo on Maple Street.

Start from the beginning
                                    

"I bet she escaped from Penhurst." Lucas said.

"From where?" Mike asked, annoyed.

"The nuthouse in Kerley county." Lucas explained.

"You got a lot of family there?" Dustin and I asked in unison, something we often do.

"Bite me! Seriously though, think about it. That would explain her shaved hair and why she's so crazy." Lucas commented.

"Why she went like..." Dustin did the shirt gesture again.

"She's an escapee is the point."Lucas shook his head at Dustin. "She's probably a psycho."

Dustin's eyes went wide. "Like Micheal Myers." He referenced quickly.

"Exactly!" Lucas said.

"We should've never brought her here!" Lucas worried.

"What, you just wanted to leave her out in that storm, Lucas?" I asked with my hands on my hips, my brows raised.

"Yes! We went out to find Will, not another problem!" Lucas snapped back.

"I think we should tell your mom." Dustin suggested to Mike.

"I second that." Lucas agreed.

"Who's crazy now?!" Mike and I asked together.

"Why is that crazy?" Lucas asked.

"Because, we weren't supposed to be out tonight, remember." Mike reminded.

"So?" Lucas raised his eyebrows.

"So, if we tell Mike's mom, she'll tell our moms and then-" I started, but was cut off.

"Oh man." Dustin worried.

"Our houses become Alcatraz." Lucas realized.

"Exactly!" I said loudly.

"Okay, here's the plan, she sleeps here tonight-" Mike started.

"Woah, woah, woah! You're letting a GIRL sleep at your house?!?!" Lucas asked.

"I guess I'm not a girl, then" I laughed.

"You're different. We like you." Dustin told me with an adorable smile, slightly making my heart melt.

"Um, let me rephrase that. You're letting a GIRL, other than Y/n, sleep at your house??!??!" He said.

"Better." I nodded with a chuckle.

"Just listen, In the morning she'll sneak around to the front door, and ring the doorbell.
My mom will know just what to do. She'll send her to... Penhurst or wherever she came from. Once we're in the clear, we'll go out again and this time, we find will." Mike explained.

"Sounds like a plan." I said, even though I doubted it very much.

I stood up and grabbed my backpack, Dustin and Lucas had already gone upstairs.

I biked home and got into my bed, not bothering to change.

I rolled over and checked my alarm clock.

1:47.

I fell asleep in no time.

——

I walked into class, half asleep, and dropped my science textbook on my desk.

Science was my favourite class, but I probably wouldn't be able to pay attention today, from my lack of sleep.

"Hey, y/n- woah, you look... Tired." Dustin observed as he sat down in his desk beside mine.

"I think we've established that, Dustin." I said.

"I mean, you still look pretty-" Dustin added hastily, starting to ramble.

Too tired to comprehend his rambling, I looked around the class, to see something I had never seen before.

Mike was late.

Mike would never miss class, especially science.

"Uh oh. Mike's not here." I mentioned to Lucas and Dustin, pointing at his empty desk.

"I told you his stupid plan would fail!" Lucas said shaking his head.

"I thought you liked his plan." Dustin remembered. He smiled at Lucas with the cutest smile I've ever seen- wait, no.

"Yeah but obviously it was stupid. Or he would be here." Lucas said.

"If Mike's mom finds out that a girl, other than Y/n, spent the night, he's in deep shit right about now." Lucas said raising his voice.

"Yep!" I agreed, putting my hands out in front of me.

"What if she slept naked?! Oh, my mom's gonna kill me if Mrs. Wheeler tells my mom she slept naked!" Dustin said, being dumb and freaking out.

"She didn't sleep naked, you're just being dumb and freaking out, Dustin." I said.

"Yeah, and Mike would never rat us out." Lucas said.

"I don't know.." Dustin muttered.

"All that matters is that after school, the freak will be back in the looney bin, and we can focus on what really matters. finding Will" Lucas said to us.

"We'll see." I muttered.

I opened my book to chapter 14, and started reading.

I started thinking of Will. I really missed him. The party wasn't complete without him.

My mind was also wandering around the fact that we had let a random girl in Mike's basement yesterday night.
Or how Mike wasn't here.
Or a certain curly haired boy.
