will watched the scene unfold and couldn't help but giggle, "right will?" he turned to face his best friend.

"hm?"

"you're coming over right?" mike looked confused.

"of course," will was about to ask if they could play dnd but Lucas popped up.

"hey mike," they did a handshake.

"did you get the movie?"

"what movie?" will was now fidgeting with his binder.

"we're gonna watch a movie tonight," mike beamed and lucas nodded.

"oh cool," will couldn't help but feel a twinge of hurt. they hadn't played dnd in forever and he just made a super cool campaign, "Could we play dnd? I made this really cool campaign!" will beamed but soon dulled as lucas and mike gave him an unimpressed look. as the two boys continued to talk, will looked back at richie and his friends. while starring at the other boys will felt a hand on his shoulder, "will? you okay?" he turned to face mike and his face flushed.

"yeah i'm good," he smiled. since will had been flayed, mike would check in on him. the only time he hadn't was last year but since their fight he remembered to. will turned back only to see richie, eddie, and stan leaving. suddenly will turned to his friends, "i have to go! see you guys at mike's!" and he dashed away towards richie. once he finally caught up he asked his burning question, "can i hang with you guys?" richie's friend group, or the losers, were notoriously the 'weird' kids. on the flipside, will's group, the party, through lucas's involvement with the basketball team were quite popular. they were by no means shielded by bullying but were known enough to be left alone. in turn dnd took a backseat and will certainly missed it.

"why hang with us byers?" richie asked adjusting his glasses.

"i dunno, you guys seem chill," he smiled and richie felt himself smile back.

"well, i don't mind, stan?" he turned to the curly haired boy.

"i guess it's fine," he turned back to his book.

"billy?" bill looked up from stan's book and seemed to study will.

"i d-don't care," he shrugged.

"what do you think eddie spaghetti?" he rustled eddie's hair causing him to throw a punch that missed.

"first do not call me that. second do not rustle my hair. third it's fine," he huffed out each sentence, stuffing his phone back in his bag.

"alright will, you're an honorary member of the losers club!" richie held out his hand.

"oh thanks?" will shook it.

"we're just waiting on beverly and ben," he fidgeted with his ring.

"are we still meeting mike?" bill asked.

"you're brother?" will looked confused and even more so when richie bursted out laughing.

"of course not! we have a friend, mike hanlon, he doesn't exactly go here," richie explained wiping tears from his eyes finishing his laughing fit, "and nah, he said he has stuff to do on the farm," he answered bill, finally.

"farm?" will looked intrigued.

"yeah! he lives on this super cool farn, with sheep n shit!" richie beamed.

"it's really pretty, we'll take you to see sometime, if mike says it's chill," eddie added.

"cool," will smiled. he waited with the losers and turned to see a girl with orange hair talking with a boy holding a history project approuching.

"bev and ben, how was school?" richie cooed.

"lame as always," will took notice of bev slipping a cigarette to richie.

"it was alright," ben answered, giving will an awkward smile.

"who's this kid?" bev asked, turning her attention to will.

"this is will byers, he will be joining us today," richie threw an arm over will's shoulder.

"welcome to the losers club," bev smiled.
