It's A Strange Wednesday {Chapter 3: Weathervane}

Instructions

~Chapter 3: Weathervane~ Eleven and Mike were sitting at the back booth talking about school, Dustin and Will were inspecting the Weathervane to see if it was the perfect hangout, Robin and Steve were busy filling up cups of coffee, Max, Erica, and Lucas were walking around Jericho to see the fun activities that happen in this town, and last but not least Wednesday was digging deeper into what had happened to Hawkins all this time while Enid, Xavier, Tyler, Bianca, and Eugene were all at Nevermore. “So Mike, how are you liking Nevermore so far?” Eleven said. “Well, it's definitely not like Hawkins High but it is definitely something interesting. What about you?” Mike said, thinking about Hawkins. “Yes I agree with you, at least we get a break from saving the world right?” Eleven chuckled. “I guess-” Mike said quietly. While Wednesday was deciding whether or not all the monster things had happened in Hawkins she was thinking about how Mike, Max, Dustin, Lucas, Erica, and Will came to Nevermore even without powers. Dustin and Will sat down with Eleven and Mike telling them everything they thought about the Weathervane. “So the Weathervane is a great place to hangout. The only thing is that of course there are other customers so we can’t talk about anything privately without someone interrupting.” Dustin said consistently. “But, since Steve and Robin work here, they can let us in the back if we really have to talk about something privately.” Mike added on. Wednesday came over to tell that she was heading back to Nevermore since it was getting late and had to catch up on homework. It was 5:45, Mike, Eleven, Dustin, Max, Lucas, Erica, and Will all decided it was time to head back to Nevermore to see if they had to finish checking in to anything else. The kids followed Wednesday and Enid to Ophelia Hall. “This is our dorm!” Enid smiled. “Welcome.” Wednesday said. “Who will be staying in which dorms?” El asked curiously. “Eleven and Max are in Ophelia Hall, Mike and Will are in Edgar Allen Poe Hall, Dustin and Lucas are in Mysterious Hall, and Erica will be staying with Bianca in the Woe Hall” Enid said joyfully. Eleven and Max went to their dorm, they had their suitcases and bags. “This is gonna be so different,” Eleven said. “Why does this room remind me of the Creel Mansion attic?” Max asked. “Maybe it’s fear?” Max looked at El, “I don’t know, but something about this place is not right.” El sighed at Max’s words and started making her bed. Max still had the rainbow covers that she had 1 year ago and she still had most of her comic books. Running up that Hill by Kate Bush was playing in the background as the girls fixed up their sides of the room. Mike and Will made their way to Edgar Allen Poe Hall, “What’s with the names of these halls?” Mike questioned. “I don’t know, nothing about this place makes sense.” Will replied. “We have gone through a lot of things that don’t make sense, how is this any different?” Mike opened the door to their dorm. “Maybe because it’s not Hawkins.” Will set his bags on one of the beds. Mike sighed, he still wasn’t convinced. Will looked out the window of the dorm, slowly his hand made its way to the back of his neck, the goosebumps were there. “Mike, I think you’re right-” Will walked over to him, “he’s back-” Mike stared at Will, “The Mind Flayer?” The next morning, the kids went to eat breakfast. They met up with Ajax at one of the tables in the Quad. “So, about those monsters that you guys fought…. Are they still alive..?” Ajax questioned. “Hmm, apparently so-” Will responded. “Well I, for one, am not fighting the Mind Flayer again.” Erica said. “Who said it was the Mind Flayer?” Dustin asked. The kids made their way to their classes. Well, actually all of them had the class on plants with Ms. Thornhill. “Good morning class, I am Ms. Thornhill. In this class we will be learning about different types of plants.” Ms. Thornhill was outside to grab a plant, when she came inside to show it the Hawkins kids gasped. The “plant” was gray, Ms. Thornhill explained that the plant would open up eventually. After a few minutes, one student got to water the plant, and it slowly started to open up. The inside was red and with little, white, teeth like objects on the red. El looked at Mike, who looked at Dustin, he looked at Erica, who looked at Max, who looked at Lucas, and he looked at Will. “Demogorgon-” They all whispered at the same time. “Do you kids mind explaining what a Demogorgon is?” Max gladly spoke up to Ms. Thornhill’s question. “The Demogorgon is a monster we fought back in Hawkins-'' Dustin stood up, interrupting Max, “His head was shaped like that ‘flower’ you just showed us. The head looked exactly like that.” Max glared at Dustin and he just smiled. “Well, that is interesting-” Ms.Thornhill started. The room started shaking, like there was an earthquake.
