THE FIVE OF THEM watched as will left the school with joyce after his episode.
"okay, that totally freaked me out." y/n comments.
"did that not freak you guys out?" max asked
"two episodes in two days." lucas says.
"it's getting worse." mike adds.
"you think it's true sight?" lucas asks them.
"what's true sight?" max asks.
"it's nothing." lucas replied as joyce started her car engine.

the next day at school, y/n, max, mike, and lucas were digging in the trash, looking for dart.
"stop being a baby and do it already!" mike tells y/n.
"this is so disgusting. is this really necessary?" y/n asks mike.
dustin then ran up to them. "what the hells going on?"
"what do you think?" mike retorts.
"we're looking for dart." max adds.
they saw things being tossed out of the trash, then lucas pops up, and climbs out of the trash.
"well, well, well." lucas says once he spots dustin. "look who finally decided to show up. after i drew the short straw. real convenient."
"you stink!" max insults lucas, and moves away from him.
"hi, max." dustin greets with a smile.
"hi?" max replies, a little confused.
"where's will?" dustin asks.
"he'll be here." mike replies.
"are you just gonna stand there?" lucas asks dustin, then tosses him a spear. "or you gonna help?"
they started poking at the trash bag with our spears, in hopes of finding dart.
-
during passing period, he went to the telephone, and called joyce.
the phone rang a few times, but there was no answer, then a voice message came.
mike angrily hung up the phone, since joyce wasn't answering.
"anything?" lucas asks mike.
"we need to talk." mike demands. "av room. right now."
y/n and max started to get up, to follow them.
"party members only." mike reminds y/n and max, preventing them from going.
"come on, mike." dustin tries to convince him.
"no!" mike refuses. "this is non-negotiable."
"sorry, max." lucas apologizes, feeling bad. "sorry, y/n."
y/n's face dropped, her skateboard in her hand.
once the guys went inside the school, y/n just scoffed and rolled her eyes in frustration.
"see, that's exactly what i was talking about in the locker room." y/n reminds max. "and that mike kid is such a dick. i promise him that me being in his party isn't a threat."
"yeah, i agree." max agrees. "they're such dicks."
-
max and y/n were getting things from their lockers, then lucas walked up to them.
"hey, max. have you seen dustin? we're supposed to be meeting after class." lucas asks the girl.
max just ignores lucas, and her and y/n slam their locker.
"max? y/n?" lucas chased after them. "hey, guys! hey, where are you both going?"
max and y/n kept ignoring him, continuing to walk.
"come on, we gotta go look for dart." lucas reminds the two girls.
"yeah, good luck with that." y/n coldly tells lucas.
"what is wrong with you?" lucas asks them.
"what is wrong with me? what is wrong with you." max turns it on him.
"i don't understand." lucas complains as he continued to follow them.
"no!" max snapped, and turned to face lucas. "i don't understand!"
y/n paused for a second before speaking up. "you guys act like you want us to be your friends, and then you just treat us like garbage."
"that's not true!" lucas defends.
"yes it is!" max intervenes. "you guys just go and hide in the av club keeping secrets like we're in the second grade or something. you know, i thought you guys wanted me in your party."
"we do. but it's.." lucas trails off.
"but what?" y/n demands eagerly.
"there are just things.. things we can't tell you guys for your own safety." lucas calmly tells y/n.
"my own safety?" y/n sarcastically asks.
"yes!" lucas quickly responds.
"is it because we're a girl?" y/n asked, coldly,
"what? no!" lucas replied.
"did you keep secrets from el?" max asks as she furrowed her brows.
"how'd you know about el?" lucas asked, his voice low.
"did you?" y/n demanded, her voice getting a little louder.
"t-that was different." lucas stutters. "trust me. okay? that was just.. just different."
"okay." max felt like she had enough. "you know what? forget it, okay? i don't wanna be in your stupid party anyway! i'm out."
"have a nice life." y/n comments, then max and y/n started walking to billy's car.
"max!" lucas shouted, hoping to solve this.
but max and y/n didn't respond to lucas, they just kept walking away, blocking his voice out.
billy saw max and y/n from afar, he started making his way to the drivers seat.
y/n went into the front seat, and max went into the backseat.
"that kid you were talking to, who is he?" billy asked y/n and max.
"he's no one." y/n quickly replied, as max stayed quiet, not wanting to talk about it.
"no one?" billy asked, not convinced.
"this kid from my class." y/n, almost too aggressively said.
billy lit his cigarette, and placed it into his mouth.
"why was he talking to you?" billy asked.
"it was just about a stupid class assignment." max intervened.
"then why're you so upset?" billy asked y/n.
"i'm not!" y/n exclaimed.
"he causing you trouble?"
"why do you care?"
"because, y/n," billy began. "you're a piece of shit, but we're family now, whether we like it or not, meaning i'm stuck looking out for you."
y/n rolled her eyes. "what would i ever do without—"
billy grabbed y/n's wrist. "hey!"
y/n widened her eyes in fear. "this is serious shit, okay? i'm older than you." billy insulted "something you learn is that there are a certain type of people in this world that you stay away from, and that kid, y/n.."
billy then gripped max's wrist harder. "that kid is one of them. you and max stay away from him, you hear me? stay. away!"
billy then angrily let go of y/n's wrist.
y/n's eyes began to water, and she looked out of the window as billy began to speed away from the school.
