Chapter 5

They all spent the night at the Wheeler's, apart from Marley who was only staying for tea, she was going to come back in the morning. Since there weren't enough mattress'. Marley sat at the head of the table her and Dustin both at a angle so they had equal space, the boys kept looking at each other all thinking about Eleven and what she did. Everyone sat in silence for a while and the boys all poked at their food while Marley ate herse trying to be respectful to Mrs. Wheeler.
Mrs. Wheeler noticed the boys and broke the silence

"Is there something wrong with the meat loaf?"

"Oh no i had two baloney sandwiches for lunch." Dustin says clearly thinking the first thing that came to mind "i don't know why."

"Me two" says Lucas who clearly couldn't think of a excuse.

"Its delicious mummy." Says Nancy to Mrs. Wheeler.

"Yeah its tastes great." Marlow agrees giving Mrs. Wheeler a smile, she thanks them both and the silence continues.

"So there's this special assembly thing tonight, for Will at the school field. Barb's driving." Nancy says to her mother while Marley gets slightly suspicious. Since When did Nancy care about Will? She thought

"Why am i just hearing about this?" Mrs. Wheeler reply's clearly suspicious too.

"I thought you knew," says Nancy with her attitude as she pushed her long curls out of her face.

"I told you i don't want you out after dark until Will is found, especially you guys" Mrs. Wheeler argues pointing at them all.

Nancy interrupts her "I know I know. But it would be supper weird if I'm not there, everyone's going."

"Fine but be home by ten." Nancy looks back with a smile until Mrs. Wheeler begins talking again. "And why don't you bring the kids with you?" All of them instantly shout no including Nancy,

"Don't you think you should be there? For Will." She questions.

"We would go but it will only be a bunch of high school students and I don't think it will be fair on nancy if she has to watch us all night, especially if she wants to be with her friends." Marley says looking at Nancy who smiles at her.

Her eyes dart towards the stairs where Eleven was coming out of the basement, Mike coughed on his Milk and as Mrs. Wheeler was turning around Dustin bangs his fists on the table causing everyone to look at him.

"Sorry. Spasm" He reply's as Marley hits him on the back of the head as Mrs. Wheeler try's to calm down Holly. Nancy glares at Dustin and mouths 'nice going' to him as he sinks down in his chair full of embarrassment, while Mike looks at the milk he just spilt all over himself.
As Mrs. Wheeler cleaned up after dinner Mr. Wheeler went to watch TV, the kids brought some leftovers on a tray down to Eleven who was playing with Mike's walkie.

"Hey Eleven," Mike starts " no adults just us and some meat loaf" Mike says handing her the tray, her dark brown gaze went to Lucas and Dustin.

"Don't worry they wont tell anyone about you." Marley says making her feel comfortable.

"We never would have upset you if we knew you had superpowers!" Dustin says smiling. Again Marlow hit him in the back of the head.

"What Dustin is trying to say is that they were just scared" Marlow says glaring at Dustin.

"We just wanted to find our friend" Lucas gave her a half smile.

"Friend?" Eleven asked and Lucas nodded,

"what is friend?" She questions

"Is she serious right now," Lucas looks at Marley sarcastically as she give him a death stare.
