#like whatever you can think eddie was right for not rescheduling but it wouldn't have been the end of the world

Saw an earnest yet completely inaccurate or misinformed take and it's like okay fine fine just ignore that even tho they're out to lunch on what happened in that scene no need to comment keep it to yourself. Or at least your own post's tags

#as tho being fifteen and asking your friends to ask a favour for you is a personal slight #or that the bb game was planned weeks in advance when im pretty sure they said they found out the night bfor bc they won that game #at most it would have a week notice #that that was the schedule. and hlfre was a weekly club. not an event. a weekly activity #so like ya i gues ls could have asked for the reschedule but it was already clear eddie held no love for jocks so why would he think eddie #would do that for him? mike and dustin had better chances considering Dustin's closeness to eddie. #also playing a major session let alone a finale without one of your players sucks bc you play to have fun with friends #literally like. eddie is 19/20. lucas is 15. and already an outsider in hlfre as demod by the distain for 'jocks' #this aint all on him #and acting like lucas feeling like ddie doesnt like him is irrational is just. idk. insulting #i was trying to be vague and then wasnt lmao #basically if i were lucas i would have absolutely asked mynfriend who was club leaders fave to ask to reschedule dnd bc #i wasnt expecting our team to get to the finals but still wanted to play the FINALE SESSION #i get the other members would have been bummed but like. 'we cant reschedule bc this guy graduates in three months and-' #'mike is gone for a week' comes off very 'you picked your side and i dont like it so now deal with it' to me #but the other members would just have a night off. it was already clear for hlfre. because it was hlfre night. #so itd be disappointing for them and maybe frustrating having to wait two weeks but. #idk id rather wait two weeks than have a missing party member. or a REPLACEMENT??? for the FINALE #like whatever you can think eddie was right for not rescheduling but it wouldn't have been the end of the world #tbh no wonder lucas didnt sit with all of them. i dont blame him at all #sorry for the tag rant its just. cannot believe folls think its lucas' fault. #also where is the teacher advisor for this club. why were they not making this decision. #also what if some of the other hlfr members wanted to go to the game? #they set up an interesting parallel of eddie ALSO being stuck in his veiw of the world and how one should act but did nothing with it #idk if i should tag this st or not for my own benefit or jsut. let it sit #finda's rambles #finda writes stuff #there. ill be able to find it maybe #idk feel free to reply to this post #i just got worked up into a protective rage on Lucas' behalf

Stranger Things #10 Eddie AU, Hello Stranger

"Jesus Steve, you look like shit."

"Gee, thanks, Tommy." Steve rolled his eyes as he stabbed at the food on his lunch tray.

"Let me guess, you had a girl over last night. Didn't you?" The jock's friend asked with a grin as he elbowed Steve in the side.

"Something like that." The cafeteria buzzed around the trio's table, only slightly irritating the growing migraine Steve had been developing since the night before.

"Aw, and here I thought you only had eyes, Wheeler." Carol teased. "You still going to invite her over to the party tonight?"

"Party?" Steve's mind blanked for a moment before he remembered the plan to invite Nancy over for a 'party'. "Shit... I totally forgot about that." Kind of hard to remember anything after finding the guy bleeding out by his pool. "We're gonna have to reschedule."

"Boo!" Carol jeered, rolling up her straw paper and tossing it at Steve's head.

"Come on, Stevie! Don't chicken out!" Tommy laughed, but Steve shook my head.

"I can't. I have stuff to do." Namely figuring out what exactly he was going to do about the stranger in his house.

"Whatever, dude. But you better act fast with Wheeler. I saw the Byers freak eyeing her up in photography class." Carol added to which Steve couldn't help but roll his eyes at the suggestion.

"Yeah. Like she'd ever go for that weirdo." The lunch bell rang and Steve got up. Only one more hour before he could go home. Hopefully, the house wouldn't be burnt down by the time he got there.

Ten pulled the hat he grabbed from Steve's room tighter over his face as he made his way down the sidewalk. He knew Steve said he needed to stay in that room, but he had to find Eleven. The overwhelming sense of worry had taken over as he tried to keep himself panicking over the thought of Papa finding his sister again.

People were staring at Ten as he walked down the sidewalk. He could feel their eyes on him. Confusion practically radiated off them in waves. He couldn't understand why. Was it something he was wearing? Or maybe it was the way he was walking. Did people recognize him? There were so many nerve-racking possibilities.

Ten pulled at the pants he was wearing. They felt weirdly stiff. He almost missed his lab gown. Almost. Ten scratched at the gloves he managed to find in Steve's closet. They were old and itchy. Pulling at the cuffs, the teen didn't pay attention to where he was going until he ran head first into something.

"And where do you think you're going, young man?" Or someone. Ten looked up to see an older man in a brown uniform. He had a deep frown on his face as he glared at the younger man.

"I...ugh..." Ten didn't know what to say. The man radiated irritation with an underlying anger as he looked Ten up and down.

"Shouldn't you be in school?" Ten stared up at him with confusion. There was that word again. School. Wait, Steve was at school! Maybe Steve would be able to help him fund his sister. With the thought in mind, Ten quickly shook his head yes in response to the uniformed man's question. He sighed and shook his head. "Damn kids. Playing hooky...." The man grumbled under his breath. "Come on, let's get you back before your parents find out." The man rested a hand on his shoulder as he led Ten over to the nearby black and white car. "I hope you know I'm going to have to give you a warning, Mr....?"

Oh. He was asking for his name. Eddie looked down at his covered tattoo. He already knew most people didn't have numbers as names. The man probably wouldn't believe him if he told the truth. Instead, he thought back to the name on vinyl from Steve's house and spoke.

"Eddie."

He beamed as he said this. The teen wasn't sure why, but the name sounded right.

"Jesus Harrington, you've been out of it all day. Come on. You, me, and Carol can head over to Benny's and grab something to eat." Tommy shook Steve's arm as the trio made their way through the crowd of highschoolers, the final bell having rung less than a minute before.

"Can't. I told you guys, I've got things to do."

"Or someone." Carol teased from behind the two. "Maybe we could meet this mystery girl you won't tell us about."

"There's no girl. I...." Steve's voice trailed off, his feet stopping as he saw a familiar figure through the glass of the principal's office. "...oh no." The figure turned and almost immediately saw Steve, enthusiastically waving to him. Carol and Tommy noticed and immediately took interest in the stranger.

"Who the hell is that?"
