Strange Love • Steve Harrington

Halloween Party

I woke up, did my eyeliner, grabbed a random shirt and flannel and shoved my Vans on. I saw Jonathan head to kitchen.

"Hmm, what are we eating?!" I said as I rubbed my hands together.

"Pancakes and eggs, with bacon." I took a piece a bacon. Jonathan smacks my hand with the spatula.

"Owie."

"Save some for us." I scrunch my nose and went to the fridge to pour us some juice.

"Jonathan? Wendy?" Aunt Joyce yelled out. We turned to her as she came in the kitchen.

"Yeah?" Jonathan said.

"Whats up?" I told her as i placed the drinks on the table.

"Where's Will?" She asked.

"What?" Jonathan responded. I looked lost.

"Where's Will?" She repeated. The room was thick, tensed. I can feel them going to panic.

"He's not in his room?" I told her.

"No." She walked away. "Uh Will?" She called out. Will and aunt Joyce came out and they all were calmed. We sat down and ate breakfast. The boys got changed for school and took some photos of Will in his Ghostbusters costume.

"Three, two, one-" the camera flashes. "Great." Jonathan smiled.

"Hold up the proton blaster." I told Will. He did what I said. Jonathan took more photos. "All right, now turn to the light." Will went to school and i drove with Jonathan to school. Nobody dressed up at school. Kinda sad. I went to my locker and jumped as i saw Nancy as i closed my locker door.

"Sorry to scare you." She said.

"No you're good." I smiled.

"Here is the costume." She handed me a witch hat. "I dug it out from my old costumes, is that okay?"

"It's perfect Nancy, thank you. Sorry i didn't come over yesterday."

"Dont sweat it Wendy." We smiled. "You just promise me that you and Jonathan are coming to that party."

"Dont worry, ill drag him if i need to." I saw Steve walking to us. "Thanks for the hat, ill give it to you tomorrow." I walked away just as Steve came, avoiding him at all cost besides class.

At home

I wore all black, black skirt, black top and my black converse with the witch hat Nancy gave me. Unoriginal but who cares, it's Halloween.

"Listen. Stay close to your brother and Wendy, okay? And listen, listen, listen If you get a bad feeling or anything, you tell him to take you straight home." Aunt Joyce told Will. "You promise?"

"Okay." He said to her.

"Are you ready, bud?" Jonathan asked. Bob started to record us.

"Yeah."

"Be safe." Aunt Joyce said as we walked out. Bob handed Jonathan the camera.
