Eddie decided that this wasnt exactly a good idea, there was something wrong with the girls already and he feared that drugs might only make things worse for them and that was the last thing he wanted. "Hey uh, we don't need to do this," Eddie said to them and shut the case, "Just give me the word and ill just walk away," Eddie told them, raising his hands to tell them that it was no big deal, "okay?"

"No its not that. I don't want you to go. Its just... do you ever feel like?" Chrissy was hesitating, wondering if Eddie would judge her for the words that she wanted to say. She knew that Adira wouldn't, but her other friends, and especially her boyfriend, they would all think that she was going crazy and that there was something wrong with her.

Adira squeezed her hand softly, "its okay Chris," she whispered out to her softly

"do you ever feel like you're loosing your mind?" Chrissy finally choked out, avoiding eye contact with the other two at the table. Eddie was in shock, not really knowing what the hell was happening right now, he leaned his head down slightly to catch eye contact with her

"Um, you know, just.... on a daily basis," Eddie said and let out a cute chuckle, "i mean I feel like I'm losing my mind right now, all day actually. I mean right now I am doing a drug deal with Chrissy Cunningham, and Adira Harrington, the queen of Hawkins high, has talked to me multiple times today and even sat with me at lunch," Eddie said with a laugh as if he were still trying to believe it.

The girl that he had liked for years, who had never even payed him an ounce of attention, had had a full conversation with him in the morning, and even sat down with him and his friends at lunch, and now here she was, sitting down in front of him. He still couldnt belive it

Adira and Chrissy both looked at each other, smiles on their faces, clearly amused at the words coming from the boys mouth. "its not that big of a deal Munson," Adira explained to him, "we're all people arent we?"

"True, that is true uh, but lets not forget that you didnt even know who I was before Mike and Dustin introduced us, and you know," he said as he turned to Chrissy and then back to Adira, "this isn't actually the first time that we have hung out together, the three of us."

"No?" Chrissy asked him in confusion, she was sure that she had never hung out with him before, hell, she was sure that she probably hadn't looked at him more than twice in this whole time she had been at school with him, she didnt even remember what his name was at this current moment

"What are you talking about Eddie?" Adira asked him in confusion, she was sure that she would have remembered him if she had actually hung out with him before

"You don't remember?" Eddie asked her he asked her 

Chrissy shook her head, feeling guilty as she looked over at him, "I'm sorry, I uh-" she tried to think of the right words to say to him, but no matter how much she struggled, she just couldnt think of the right words that wouldn't upset him

"Sorry Eddie, but I don't remember," Adira muttered to him

"No, that's okay," Eddie quickly cut her off and then wacked his hands onto his chest and fell back off the seat, doing a weird kind of roll thing on the ground before standing back up and pacing around, "I wouldn't remember me either Miss Harrington and Miss Cunningham."

Adira and Chrissy couldnt help but chuckle at the boy in front of him, he was weird, but weird in a good way. "honestly, do I have stuff in my hair?" He asked and began to crazily brush his fingers through his ringlets that cascaded down over his shoulders like a waterfall. Chrissy and Adira began to laugh even louder at him. 

Eddie felt giddy inside as he watched Adira, he couldnt believe it, he was making her laugh. The sound was harmonious as it flowed through his ears, his cheeks went slightly red but he continued to entertain the girls, "you two really dont remember me?"

"I'm sorry," Chrissy and Adira both chuckle

"Middle school, talent show. You were both doing this cheer thing, you know the," he began to wave his hands around in the air, "the thing you guys do," he said to them with a small chuckle which only made the two girls laugh even more, "it was pretty cool, actually. And, I... I was with my band"

"Corroded coffin!" The girls both exclaimed, as they remembered him and his band at the same time, "Oh my god! Yes of course!"

"Corro--- you guys do remember," Eddie exclaimed excitedly 

"Well with a name like that how could we forget?" Chrissy exclaimed in amusement

"I dont know, youre a freak," Eddie replied with a grin and a shrug of his shoulders

Chrissy shook her head, "no you just - oh my god didnt you have a thing for Adira?" She asked in humour

"What what, of course not," Eddie quickly brushed off

"Oh oh, and I remember that was when you gave me that drawing!" Adira said in amazement as she thought back to the memories from years ago, "shit, what was it a drawing of?" she muttered out as she tried to remember

"I cant remember, it was such a long time ago," Eddie replied and shrugged his shoulders. He of course had remembered exactly what he had drawn, but he didnt plan on bringing it up, especially when she was only just starting to talk to her, he didnt want to wreck that over some stupid drawing he drew for her years ago

"You looked so different back then!" Adira exclaimed as she remembered how he had used to look

"Yeah well uh, my hair was buzzed, and I didnt have these sweet old tatties yet," Eddie said as he pulled down the collar of his shirt and showed them some of the tattoos that were on his neck even though they could already see all of the ones that were litering his arms

"You played the guitar right?" Chrissy asked as the two girls tried to remember everything that they could

"Uh-huh," Eddie said and nodded his head, surprised that the two of them actually remembered all of this, "still do. still do. You should both come and see us, Uh, we play at the Hideout on Tuesdays. It's pretty cool, we... we actually get a crowd of about five... drunks."

Adira and Chrissy laughed at the boy, "impressive," Adira told him with a wide and playful grin on her face

"I know right," he said and winked over at her, "its not exactly the Garden, but you uh, you gotta start somewhere, right? So..." he punched one of the trees a few times, as if he were pinching himself to see if he was dreaming right now

"You know, you are not what I thought that you would be like," Chrissy told him, the two girls were definitely feeling much better now and had practically forgotten about the whole clock in the tree thing

"Mean and scary?" He asked as he covered his face with some of his hair

"Yeah," Chrissy replied with a small chuckle

"Yeah well, I actually kinda thought you would be kinda mean and scary too," Eddie played along

"Me?" Chrissy whispered out

"C'mon, shes the sweetest person in the world," Adira said in amusement

"I mean I always thought you would be terrifying too, the both of you," Eddie said and then sat back down in front of them in his original spot. He grabbed the case back off the seat next to him and then placed it in front of the girls once more, "so uh, in other good news, flattery works with me, so... twenty five percent discount for the half," he placed the half bag of weed in front of Chrissy with a small smile, "fifteen bucks. Youre basically robbing me blind here, you know."

"Do you have anything... maybe... stronger?"
