"Best friends"
Ellie's pov
Those words floated around my head as I sat on my bed listening to Cassandra by Cos Sylvan. (A/n: pretend please it's a good song) "Ellie, you ready for school?" I nodded my head turned off my walkman grabbed my bag and shoved it inside.
"You good Ellie?" I nodded and gave Eddie a smile as he drove towards the school. "Yeah, I'm just really exhausted," I replied leaning my head against the window of his van. The ride to the school was peaceful and I was enjoying the peace. "You know you might need to let out your you know what Ellie," Eddie spoke up interrupting the peace. "No Eddie I'll be fine promise."
゜✧*̣̩☽⋆゜
Wrong I am not enjoying the peace at all as I walked through the halls of the school when an arm wrapped around my shoulders. "Hey, doll how's your morning you look pissed?" I rolled my eyes and chuckled. "I'm fine Billy really," I answered him cutting it short. "Okay good do you have anything to do this weekend?" He asked leaning against the doorway of my next class. "Yeah, I'm supposed to be babysitting Dustin Henderson." I smiled at him softly. "Next time right?" He nodded and kissed my forehead. "Yeah, next time call me later." I watched as he walked away and made my way into art class taking a seat next to some random kid as we all continued on our sketches from last week.

"Really Ellie? Billy Hargrove?" He and Steve placed down pieces of meat. "That's exactly what I said to her? But what does she do she goes "swimming" with him!" Steve complained as he threw down the meat before throwing his hands in the air.
"You went swimming with Hargrove? You know what don't answer that question." Dustin shook his head at me as he turned away from us and started talking. "Now why would you tell him I was hanging out with Billy Hargrove." Keeping my voice to a whisper as I turned towards Steve. Steve gave me a look. "Don't look at me like that Harrington you might cream your pants." Smirking at him as he scoffed. "Yeah right, Munson."
I overheard Dustin talking about Dart and how he could be a Demogorgon. "Meet me, Steve, and Ellie at the old junkyard." I stopped leaning on Steve's car as he let down the trunk. "All right let's go," Steve spoke up fixing his pants. "Yeah come on Dust can't keep you safe if we leave you alone." Smiling picking up one of the buckets before Steve could. "Just be there, stat. Over and out."
゜✧*̣̩☽⋆゜
"Yo Dustin so did you just keep the dangerous lizard?" I asked Steve hitting my shoulder. "What I was just asking a question," I whispered as he shook his head at me. "So let me get this straight you keep something you knew was probably dangerous in order to impress a girl who you just met?" Steve asked throwing down meat in front of him. "All right that's grossly simplifying things. I mean why would a girl like some nasty slug anyway. An Interdimensional slug? Because it's awesome." At this point, I zoned out and continued to throw the meat on the earth's floor. Looking through the trees, I couldn't shake the feeling that we were being followed and watched.

Jumping on top of one of the old cars tossing the bucket away. "I used to come here with my brother. This will do nicely." I chuckled rolling off the car and running over to the rusted bus. "Guys look. HEY LUCAS! HEY MAX!" Waving at the girl while eating some candy. She looked confused as hell like she didn't wanna be here. Dustin motioned for Lucas to follow him and I walked up to Max.
"Hey, Max I'm Ellie." I put my ring-clad hand out for her to shake. She took it in her smaller hand shaking it. "Your Billy's Elinor? The girl in the picture?" I nodded my head. "That's me." She hugged me. "Thanks for taking care of him. I might hate him 'cause he's an asshole but he's my brother." Ruffling her hair as she pulled away. "No problem squirt now come on we gotta get on that bus." Leading her towards the bus that now had spare scrap metal blocking all entrances. "Is it true what Lucas told me about this lizard thing?" She asked as she slotted herself down on the floor between the seats as I took the row across from her. "Yeah I saw them and Dustin told me about them a while ago." She nodded still not believing it. "What about the part with the girl who had powers?" I gave her a smile. "El died Max but she isn't the only one with powers." Raising my hand the wisp of yellow energy wrapped around her leg making her gasp. "Don't tell anyone outside of our little friend circle." Winking at her.
"Does your brother know? Oh my god does Billy know!" She whispered as the others gathered on the bus. "Yes, he's known since my old man adopted me. Billy knows he showed up at the trailer all banged up and I helped him." I pointed out as it got quiet and the sun was starting to set.

"When are these things coming it's boring out here." Max quietly groaned before sitting up. "So you all really fought one of these things before?" She looked between me and Steve to which he nodded and handed me the lighter he was fidgeting with. "And your, like totally 100% sure it wasn't a bear?" Dustin stopped pacing around the bus facing her. "Shit don't be an idiot. Okay? it wasn't a bear. You still have the nerve to question us after Elinor showed you her powers, yeah I saw her show you. Why are you even here if you don't believe us?" Dustin questioned before going back to pacing around the bus. "Just go home." He mumbled. Max stood up and made her way up the ladder. "Geesh. Someone's cranky. Past your bedtime?" She questioned finally pulling herself through the top of the bus.
"That's good. Just show her you don't care." He turned his head towards Dustin completely missing the look I was giving him. "I don't." He spat as he stops pacing for a split second. "Why are you winking Steve? Stop." I whacked Steve in his chest making him groan.
"Will you all shut-" The sound of loud growling made me jump up and peek out the window. "Lucas what do you see!" I called out eyes scanning the area but the fog was too thick. "I got eyes ten o'clock. Ten o'clock!" I squinted my eyes as Steve pointed towards it. "There." The Demogorgon moving around. "What do you think he's doing?" Dusting asked as Steve and I shrugged our shoulders. I looked at it confused. "Guys he's not taking the bait." My fingers twitched as I watch. "Maybe he's not hungry?" Dustin implied. "Maybe he's sick of cow," Steve spoke up moving towards the bus door me following close behind him. "Steve? Elinor what the hell are you doing?" Steve took the lighter out of my hand and tossed it to Dustin. "Just get ready." Grabbing my hand the bat in the other opened the door pulling me out as I closed it behind us.
"You see anything?" Steve whispered as I put my hands up little whisp of green circling my hands. "No not yet but I got your back." Giving him a lop-sided smile. As we walked forward the chittering was coming from all around us as Steve started whistling. "Come on buddy...come on body." He started swinging the bat as I turned around walking backward watching from behind. "Come on its dinnertime y'all," I called out hitting Steve's back as we stood in the middle looking around. "Human taste better than a cat I promise." I elbowed Steve's back. "Why the fuck would you say that?!" I hissed out as movement caught my eye as one jumped on top of a car. quickly lifting my hands and lifting the Demogorgon throwing it as far as I could. Hearing the door of the bus open followed by screaming. "Steve! Elinor! Abort! Abort!" Seeing Dustin waving us back to the bus. "Hurry!" He screamed. "Steve be ready to run back to the bus." Throwing my hands down the whisp of energy lacing my hands now shot out around us sending the Demogorgon flying as Steve made a run for the bus as I followed right behind him. "They can't get in and even if they get in they'd have to go through me." Calming Max down as she ran straight for me. "Don't scare me like that!" the bus started shaking and the claws of the demodogs piercing the bus and walked along the roof of the bus as Steve and I look up ready to send the Demogorgon running. It opened its mouth and then looked up and away from us running away. "What the hell just happened?" Putting my hands down.
