Chapter 1: First day of school
I had just woken up to my alarm going off. I went to the bathroom brushed my teeth, brushed my hair, then got dressed. Today was my first day of school at Hawkins high I was always the outcast, because I didn’t listen to Madonna and wear skirts instead I wore black ripped jeans and a leather jacket. As I left the house my stepdad that’s basically a dad said good bye and said good luck.
I got to school and I was so nervous to get out of my car. I finally walked out of my car and make it to my first class. I had science first and some guy with a black curly mullet sat behind me and in front of me was guy with a blonde curly mullet. The guy behind me tapped my shoulder and asked me “hey new girl you got a pencil I could borrow?” I let him borrow my extra pencil and after a rough boring 80 minutes it was time for our next class. Everyone in the hallway was staring mumbling about “the new girl”. I had English next, the same guy sat behind me in English too. In English, a girl in a cheerleader uniform with her blonde hair up reminded me about my old bully.
The bell rang after 80 minutes it was time for lunch, I got my food and scanned the cafeteria I saw the empty table. I sat there alone and listen to music on my walkerman. The black curly mullet guy stood up on the lunch table and started saying “As long as you’re in to band or science or PaRtIeS or a game we’re you throw a ball into laundry baskets.” I giggles, as a basketball player asked him “you want something freak?” The guy with the black curly mullet makes devil horns with his two finger and sticks out his tongue, he says “aUgUaH”.
He comes over to me and thanks me for the pencil earlier. He asks me my name I said Y/N L/N . He said “my name is Eddie Munson, if you want you can’t sit at our table and I like the jacket by the way.” I took his offer and went to their table he pulled up a chair for me and introduced me to his friends. He said “guys meet Y/N she’s new to Hawkins.” Mike is tall has black hair. Dustin has brown very very curly brown hair and wears a thinking cap. I also met others but Dustin and Mike are my favorite.
Eddie invited me to Hellfire tonight but I’m hesitate on if I should go or not. I went home and changed, my dad asked how my dad went I said good and told him about hellfire he said that I should go and make friends. I started my car and went parked in the school parking lot. Mike opened the door for me and as soon as I seen the room it had red lights. I absolutely loved it. Eddie said that I needed to seat beside him to learn how to play first and I started watching him. It’s like he was glowing he was so passionate about this one thing I forgot about learning how to play. I looked back down to try and catch back up.
The game was over the others started leaving but Eddie wanted me to stay and talk for just a second. I started to feel butterflies and he said “ I think I’m just going to have to teach you one on one is that ok darling ?” I said that was ok and gave him my number we’re we could decide when we wanted to have our one on one. I wondered why I started to get butterflies for him though I never catch feelings for a guy this quick I have really bad trust issues. The next morning I saw him in science he said “hey sweetheart do you want to have that one on one tomorrow?”
I said that would be amazing. I noticed through the class today he was doodling and smiling. The bell rang, English was boring as always I’m pretty sure I fell asleep and Eddie kept poking me with the pencil I gave him. I walked with Eddie to lunch, then the boys were talking about basketball championships and how Lucas won’t be able to play in our championship. I said that I might be able to play, Eddie jokingly said “maybe if we have a lot of one on ones.” I’ll do whatever it takes to help y’all
After school was over Eddie was leaned on my car he said “if you’re willing to do whatever it takes we’re going to need to practice tonight come over tonight to my place sweetheart .” I said I’ll be there while blushing at his pet names. I arrived at Eddie’s trailer and he came outside. Before he opened the he said “I’m sorry for the mess gorgeous.” I said Eddie I don’t care really and went inside. He said “First we need to talk strategy always fight never run unless the percentage sucks, second always trust your gut, and third practice your rolls.”
He got his game board out and the dice. He explained the game to me and I started to get it. He would tell me if I made the wrong or right decision. He said “let’s practice your roll”. He rolled and got a perfect 20 some how. I rolled and got a 11 . He said “ your wrist isn’t going the way it should come let me help you.” I went to sit next to, he put his right arm around my body and his left arm to guide my left. He said “this is how a pro does it .” I rolled my eyes jokingly and he said “you’ll actually need to know this do you want me to stop?” I said no quickly he said okay then and kept taking my arm back and forth telling me what to do. I could feel his breath on me.
