After a few more hours of walking, they finally made it to the junkyard. Steve looked around at the large space, and nodded with a sigh "Oh, yeah. Yeah, this will do." He said.

Y/n set her bucket down and took Steve's "We should probably pile the rest of the meet in the middle." She said dumping it in, and then grabbing Dustin's bucket. Once she had dumped the meat in one bucket, she kicked the other two to the side.

"This will do just fine." Steve said as he began walking away "Good call, Henderson."

Dustin smiled and looked at Y/n, as she slowly followed Steve tossing down some meat. Y/n smiled at her smaller friend, who seemed proud of Steve's approval. Once in the somewhat middle of the junkyard, Y/n poured out the rest of the meat onto the ground.

"I said medium-well!" A voice shouted at them.

Y/n looked up and smiled. Lucas was smiling and waving at them, and Max, the girl from the other day was with him. This just made Y/n smile even more, there was something about her that she liked.

"Who's that?" Steve asked.

"That's Max." Y/n answered brightly "I think she's related to Billy or something, she was the girl that got out of his car that day."

"Really?" Steve asked looking at Y/n and raising a brow "Huh." He mumbled, looking over at Dustin "Oh my god is that her?" He asked.

Y/n gasped mad she hadn't seen it sooner "Oh my god it is!"

Dustin shook his head "Lucas, can we have a talk?" He asked "Privately." He added.

"We'll get started on all the other shit." Steve said as the two younger boys walked away.

Y/n shrugged, and walked over grabbing some scrap sheets. Max who was unsure of what to do, walked over to Y/n. The only other person she was familiar with, and whoes name kept appearing in Lucas's stories.

"So, what are we doing?" Max asked moving a sheet of metal as well.

"Uhm, reinforcing I guess?" Y/n said shrugging "We gotta make sure.....wait, Lucas told you right?" She asked stopping and looking at the red head.

"Told me what?" Max asked watching Y/n's face fall, and her eyes widened. The redhead just grinned "Yeah, he told me. I mean, honestly it's all really hard to believe."

Y/n let out a sigh with a small chuckle "Yeah, I get that." She said, "But trust me, it's all real. Remember that slug thing?"

Max nodded "Yeah, that nasty slimy thing."

"Well, that slug grew three times that size, and is now the size of a large dog." Y/n explained.

"No way." Max gasped "That's impossible."

Y/n this time laughed "Thats what I would say." She said "But hey, if you stick around enough you'll see."

There was a loud metal bang, and Y/n looked over "Hey! Dickheads! How come the only people helping me is Y/n, and this random girl?" Steve asked loudly "We lose light in 40 minutes. Let's go....Lets go, I said!"

"All right, asshole! God!" Dustin exclaimed as him and Lucas walked over.

"Is he your boyfriend?" Max asked Y/n as she got back to work.

Y/n looked over at her, eyes wide. She could feel the blood rushing to her cheeks, and her heart was racing. The mere thought of Steve being her boyfriend, made her flustered for some godforsaken reason.

"No." Y/n answered shaking her head, and looking away from the teen "Just my bestfriend."

Max raised a brow "But you have feelings for him, don't you?" She asked.
