december 10th, hawkins, indiana, 1985.

will byers, a 13-year-old boy was at his best friend, mike wheeler’s house along with his other friends; jane hopper, max mayfied, dustin henderson and lucas sinclair.

Mike: that’s not how you do it!

mike and the others were playing a random game that they found in the living room.

Max: yes it is, it goes left!

Mike: are you dumb? it goes right, you put the thing on the right!

Max: it goes left, dipshit! jesus christ, i never expected boys to be so dumb!

Mike: like your one to talk, you girls only talk by emotions and not by logic!

Max: excuse me?! at least i know math!

Mike: you take that back, i know math, i’m just- not very smart!

Max: yeah right, you’re dumber than a fish!

Dustin: can we please stop fighting?! which way does the block go? is it left or right?

Mike: it goes right!

Max: no, it goes left!

Lucas: i think it goes right-

Mike: see?! even lucas agrees!

Max: yeah, cause you boys agree on everything, it’s fucking stupid!

Mike: your the stupid one, max! it goes right!

Max: no it doesn’t, why are you-

Jane: guys!

jane yelled out, everyone turned around and looked at her.

Jane: can we please keep it down? will is sleeping.

jane points her finger over to will, who was asleep on the couch.

Mike: oh- right… sorry.

Max: you should be sorry.

Mike: you were the one being loud too!

Max: at least i wasn’t that loud!

Jane: oh my god, what are you guys even playing?

max points at the game they are playing.

Max: i don’t know what this game is called but mike is trying to tell me it goes right but it clearly goes left!

Mike: cause it does go right!

Max: no it doesn’t, you are so dumb, this is why you failed mister clark’s test last week!

mike gasped offended.

Dustin: oooh! she got you good, come on mike, you can’t let yourself get roasted by a girl!
