Y/n's pov

The five us were walking our bikes through the
woods.

Dustin and Lucas were in the back, while
Mike and El were just a few steps in front of me.

El was looking around as she walked and suddenly I
felt her eyes on me.

I suddenly became very self conscious of my cut.

I got it to stop bleeding eventually, but I didn't know
how I would ever explain this to mom. She worried so easily.

My thoughts were cut short when I became very aware of the fact that El had fallen back next to me and was now looking at me with concern.

"Why did they hurt you?" Her voice came out very
soft but was laced with concern.

"Huh?" I asked, surprised.

El extended her arm out and pointed to my chin. I
looked down, upset with how things went today.

"Oh, that. I uh, well..... I was tripped. This mouth
breather, Troy."

Her face scrunched up in confusion.

"Mouth breather?"

"Yeah. You know, a dumb person."

I suddenly grew quiet, and El noticed.

"Y/n, are you okay?"

I paused. "Yeah. Yeah, it'll be ok." I said.

El had returned to Mike's side. The two shared
looks and enjoyed each other's company.

It made me happy to see my brother this way.

He had never really had a real crush before.

My mind wandered to earlier, for what felt
like the hundredth time that day.

Only, this time, I recalled what happened before Troy showed up.

A heat dusted my cheeks at the mere thought of it.

'Lucas couldn't possibly. Could he?'

I mean, it would make sense with how he acted
around me specifically.

I always thought that he acted that way because we were so close.

——

We were still walking, my feet had grown sore and
darkness had already set in.

El was at the front, taking confident strides, the boys and I following eagerly behind.

That's when it hit me.

I knew this road. This was Will's house.

"What are we doing here?" I asked.

She stopped and turned around, facing all of us.

"Here."

"Yeah, this is where Will lives."

"Hiding." She said.

I blinked a few times, unsure.

"But..... I-I don't understand." My heart fell.

"No, no, this is where he lives. He's missing from
here. Understand?"

Lucas and Dustin had finally caught up, the two of
them dropped their bikes in frustration.

Something in Lucas snapped, and he spoke up, clearly frustrated.

"What are we doing here?"

"Exactly my question." I sighed.

"She said he's hiding here."
