it was a normal day at Hawkin’s high

kids are at the lunch cafeteria chatting and eating

Eddie is at his table with other Hellfire club members and he’s reading out loud a news paper

“Dungeons and Dragons at first regarded as harmless games of make-believe, now has both parents and psychologists concerned.”

“Studies have linked violent behavior to the game, saying it promotes satanic worship, ritual sacrifice, sadomy, suicide, and even”

he puts the paper down and says with his manic smile and in a “demon like” voice

“murder!”

his friends around the table laugh at that

Geteth speaks up

“Society has to blame something. We’re an easy target”

Eddie agrees

“Exactly. We’re the freaks because we like to play a fantasy game”

he tilts his head with a smile and stands up onto the lunch table

“But! As long as you’re into band or science”

“or patiesss”

he says sneeringly

“or game where you toss balls into laundry baskets!”

he says louder so the whole cafeteria hears and some kids yell freak and loser

Jason Calver stands up

“You want something, freak?”

he says arrogantly

At that Eddie puts up fingers on his head to imitate demon horns and splutters sticking out his tongue with a wide smile

Eddie’s friends chuckle at that and Jason just calls him “Prick” and sits back down

Eddie still on the table starts walking back to the other side to his seat

“It’s forced conforming that’s what’s..” he jumps off the table and shouts at the teacher passing by

“killing the kids!”

his friends chuckle more and eddie goes back to his chair after checking out some cheerleaders who pass by

“that’s the real monster”

he sits down
