WILL
It's currently 5:40 pm. In 20 minutes my mom is taking me to the snowball.

"Yeah, you got it. See?" My mom says.

"Mom!" I say.

"Wow!" My mom says as she laughs.

We spend the time dancing.

"Do you always have to be filming everything?" I ask Jonathan as he points his camera toward me.

"No, no. Just the good stuff." He says as he chuckles.

"Are you sure people still dance like this?" I ask.

"Yeah. It's just what's happening." My mom says.

"Is it what's happening?" I ask Jonathan.

"Yeah, yeah, it's what's happening." Jonathan replies.

MIKE
It's currently 5:40 pm. In 20 minutes, my mom is taking me to the Snowball. I was so excited to go because there is a chance that El might show up.

A camera flashes.

"Oh, wait." My mom says picking up a picture she dropped.

"All right, that's enough," I say bored.

"One more, okay? Just one more--" My mom says as I cut her off.

"Why?" I ask.

"You look so handsome." My mom says.

"Mom!" I say wanting to leave.

"Mike." My mom says happily.

The camera flashes again.

LUCAS
I'm in front of my mirror. It's 5:40 pm and I'm going to the snowball.

"Hey... wanna dance?" I say.

"No." I shake myself off.

"We should, you know, get out there, like, do our thing...stop," I said trying to come up with something to say.

I shake my face.

"I love this song. You?" I say.

"Yeah, I love it. But not as much as I love you, Lukey." My sister Erica interrupts me.

"Get out of my room!" I yell while slamming my bedroom door shut.

MAX
I'm in my bathroom. It's 5:40 pm and I'm being dragged to a dance.

"Ow, ow. That hurts." I saw in pain.

"It's gonna be worth it. Promise." My mom says happily.

Just as my mom sighs, Billy walks by the door. He stops and looks at me. I give him a nasty glare before he walks away.

"See? Pretty." My mom says.

DUSTIN
It's 5:40 pm and I need to find it. But I can't.

"Son of a bitch! Son of a bitch!" I yell.

"Where did you see it last?" My mom asked.

"Right here, where I put it." I say still looking.

"What's in there that's so important anyway?" My mom asks.

"You look fabulous, baby." My mom says as I look behind a box full of cereal to find the brown paper bag I was looking for.

"Got it." I said walking to my room.

The doorbell rings. "That's your ride. Dusty!" My mom yells, but I am already out of the room.

I get the can and open it.

I go to the mirror. "Okay." I say before spraying my hair

ELEVEN
I'm laying down in bed. It's 5:40 pm and I have nothing to do.

"Kid?" Hopper asks from outside my room.

I open the door with my powers and Hopper walks in.

"Put this on..." He said putting a blue dress on my bed.

"Why?" I ask.

"Just do it. And I have this..." Hopper said giving me a brush, some hairspray, and some eyeshadow.

Hopper left my room while I got changed. I walked out and Hopper styled my hair and did my makeup.

"Ready?" Hopper asked.

"Ready for what?" I ask. Hopper smiled.

GENERAL
One by one, the six kids arrived.

Mike arrived first, shortly followed by Will, then Max, then Lucas, then Dustin.

They spend the night sitting around and talking.

After 2 hours, a slow song came on. Lucas asked Max to dance. Will was asked by a random girl to dance. Dustin and Nancy started to dance, which left Mike by himself.

MIKE
I'm sitting around. The song just ended.

"Every breath you take.  Every move you make."

As the next song plays, El walks through the doors. I stand up and look at her.  We meet up and look at each other.

"You look beautiful." I said smiling.

"Do you want to dance?" I asked.

El looked around the room at everyone. "I don't know how." She said looking at me.

"I don't either." I said.

"Do you wanna figure it out?" I ask.

El nodded. I took her hand we walked to the dance floor.

"Like this." I said as I put her hands on my shoulders.

"Yeah, like that." I said happily.

I put my hands on her waist, and we danced,

GENERAL
Nancy and Dustin danced. Max kissed Lucas. Will and the random girl danced. Mike kissed El.

WILL
I'm standing with Mike and Dustin, watching as Lucas and Max start to dance.

"Hey, Zombie boy." A girl gets my attention.

"Do you want to dance?" She asks.

"Um...I don't..." I stutter as Mike hits me, signalling for me to dance with her.

"I mean...I mean, yeah. Sure." I say.

"Cool." She says.

The girl and I walk to the dance floor and start dancing.
------
I notice after a while that El has entered the building.

I watched as Mike and El talked. They eventually hold hands and walk to the dance floor.

They start dancing.

I look on as Mike is having a great time.

"I'm gonna go freshen up..." I said walking away.

I walk straight to the bathroom and I shut the door behind me.

I wash my face.

I let a tear fall down my face. I start to cry.

"Will?" I hear a boy ask.

"Huh?" I ask.

Mike walks in.

"Are you okay?" Mike asked.

"Y-Yeah..." I said wiping my tears.

"You don't look okay..." Mike said.

"I saw you walk in here...and now your crying..." Mike said.

"I'm fine..." I said.

Mike hugged me. I took it by surprise.

I pulled away after a few minutes. I blushed.

I walked out.

I spent the rest of the night thinking about Mike and only Mike. And unfortunately I couldn't stop staring.
