The Winter Holidays were over, and it was the first day back at school for Will in about two months. It was officially 1984.
He wanted to get there early to try and avoid all the crowds, but not only that, he had a meeting with the head teacher.
Once again, the cold morning air was rushing through your hair as Will peddled as fast as he could through Hawkins, you nearly fell off a couple of times, you couldn't enjoy the journey because of it.
To Will's delight, when you arrived at school the only people there were the nerds, the teachers and you two. Chaining his bike up he grabbed your hand and ran to the back door, he knew if he went 'round the front he would get "sympathetic" stares and such from just about everybody - and he was trying to avoid this as much possible today, no matter how difficult the challenge may be.
Before you started to walk down the hallway, Will pulled you into a supply cupboard.
"Okay, here's the plan" Will whispered. "I'm only going to be in two lessons today as they want to get me settled in, they phoned my mum up yesterday saying so, those lessons are art and P.E"
You nodded
"So just stick with me and try not too make much noise, but you can wander about the classroom or go sit under the big Willow Tree at the back of the field during P.E, Oh here" Will closed his eyes and imagined something for you.
When he opened his eyes your very own invisible copy of Lord of The Rings appeared for you.
"Thanks!"
"Yeah, I guessed that seen as stuff you hold is still visible to everybody else, this might be a smarter solution" Will smiled "so just read this today or do whatever, you know your way around the school right?"
You nodded.
Will stepped to the side of you, creaking open the supply cupboard door.
"All clear..." He took your hand once again and pulled you out.
He took a big breath in, "Okay, first order of the day - the head's office. Let's try and make this as painless as possible"

"Is your mum going to be coming today Will?" The head teacher straightened some papers on his desk and leaned back in his chair, linking his hands together.
"Um, no Sir. I said I wanted to go on my own so she could go to work" Will looked down at his feet.
You were wandering around the Head's office, staring at all the certificates, trophies and such.
"Okay, so am I correct in knowing that you have a brother, Jonathon, at our high school?" The Headteacher asked.
"Yes sir"
"So you have some family in which you can confide in here, rather than just members of staff and your friends"
Will glanced over to where you were standing, by the bookshelf.
Will looked back at The Head and nodded.
"Very good, I understand that it's better to have somebody more close to your heart that you can talk to rather than a teacher that you may not know very well. But that being said feel free to come see me or Miss Gaskill, our Student Support officer, whenever you need to."
"I will sir"
"Okay, oh, and before you go Will let me give you this" The Head reached into a draw at the side of his desk and pulled out a small blue card, handing it to Will he said, "If you ever need to go out of lesson to calm down or such just show this to your teacher and they will let you step out of the classroom for five or ten minutes. Or however much you need."
