Stranger Things Story.
Taking place in the modern times instead of the 80s. My first one for this fandom so go easy. Call this an AU or Altered Timeline. Enjoy!
September 2016 (Lucy pov.)
First day of school, dad got us up at 6 in the morning. I rolled out of bed and called Nancy. She said she and Barb could pick us up. Even she had to drop Mike off.
Once Ray and I had some food, Nancy honked and we were off.
"See you later dad!" We both said.
"Morning Nancy."
"Hey Mikey." Ray said.
Nancy giggled.
I smiled. "Nice cool nickname." I said.
Mike grinned a little.
I sat in the back with Ray and Mike as Nancy drove.
"I'm surprised you know how to drive." I said to Nancy.
"It's Barb's car. I still need to pass the test this fall. Or spring. Whenever." Nancy shrugged.
I looked to Mike who held up two fingers.
Twice she failed. Oh boy.
We dropped off Mike and Ray. "Dusty! Willy!" She said as she jumped out.
"What about me?" Lucas spoke. I didn't hear an answer as Nancy drove off.
"Your sister is cute." Barb said.
"Thanks."
"So, how do you feel? I know it's first day and all. And Steve is-"
"Nance. I'll be fine. Stop worrying about me. It's been years. I don't remember what he looks like." Total lie. The best thing about me, I make anything believable with words.
"Okay." Nancy pulled into a park.
I got out and saw Jonathan with a girl. "Didn't know Jonathan had a girlfriend." The girl wasn't taller then I, yet her long golden locks was like a treasure trove.
Nancy snorted. "That's Henderson. Bailey is one of Dustin's older sisters. The other one works with Hopper at the station as his partner." Nancy explained.
I raised an eyebrow. I never could see Hopper working with anyone. "Anyone else I need to know about?"
"Well-"
Before Nancy could answer, some red headed girl ran past me shouting her name, and hugging Nancy.
"Hey Rudy. Lucy, this is my cousin Rudy. She's staying here till collage. This is Lucinda Foyer. She just moved back here from New York." Nancy introduced.
"Nice to meet you. Rudy Trace." Trace? That was Karen's last name before she married. And on her side, it was a living nightmare.
"Cool to meet you." I said shaking her hand.
She giggled her way off. I looked to Nancy.
"Her parents are "filing" for separation. But they live in an apartment close by and I told them to at least let Rudy finish high school before anything serious happens. And my mom agreed that when things are getting out of hand, she take Rudy in."
I nodded. "I get it. I feel bad but, isn't she the cousin that took all your toys away from you when you both were like four?" I asked.
Nancy nodded, then ran past me giggling.
"Hello ladies." I figured that's what got her excited. Just hearing the voice I could picture what he looked like now. Man I need help.
"Steve. I think you might remember her. Steve Harrington, meet the new ten years later, Lucinda Foyer." Nancy said.
I turned as Steve looked in my direction.
The two of us froze. He looked like a hell of a Danny Zuko and Kanicky fusion. His face was still the same from when we were 6.
"Holy-"
"Nice to see you again. After ten years." I said before he could say a word.
He grinned looking me up and down.
"It's been awhile Lucy."
At least he remembered what I liked to be called.
We head into the school were I meet up with Jonathan.
"Hey. How you doing?" I ask.
"I'm fine. Guessing you met Steve."
"Harrington? Yeah. What's with the Grease hair-do?"
Jonathan shrugged. "No idea. Not friends with him." What? Why not?
Looking over I saw why.
Tommy and Carol and a new face were over there.
Harrington and Nancy, and her cousin, Rudy, we're all over there.
"Hello cutie pie!" Tommy shouted. I looked behind me, then watched as he walked over. I smiled sweetly at him.
"You new in town"
"Tommy. You haven't changed one shit." I said. I rolled up my sleeve. Revealing a big bite mark. His eye grew wide.
"Foyer! Lucy Foyer!" He backed away from me.
"In the living flesh. And can still kick your ass back to kingdom comes hell bound." I said.
Carol was shocked and rolled her eyes.
I walked on as Tommy was back with the group.
First class was Literature. My favorite.
Checking over my schedule, literature, math, English, language, PE, and last was Science.
I wished I had history. That's the fun class for me.
I loved reading, but I preferred to write things.
The teacher gave us a worksheet on what we can tell her about ourselves.
1: Name: Lucinda Foyer.
2: Color: Easy again. Green. Or Purple.
I would say green but really only a few like Nancy or Jonathan would know it's purple.
3: Family: Sister, Ray, Mother and Father.
4: Skills: Hockey. I played for six years to entertain myself.
5: Subject: I put literature, English, and language.
Because those are what I'm good at. I like history, doesn't mean I'm good at it.
6: People: I could name Nancy, Barb, and Jonathan. But no one else. Not even Harrington. I don't consider him a friend.
Not anymore.
7: Hobbies: Writing. Anything from books, lyrics and music notes. But no poetry. Occasionally, I sing and play guitar.
Once all the questions were answered, we passed them back to her and started class.
Once that was over, it was math. Oh how I hated math. I at least, had a smart sister who could help me with it.
She understands numbers better then her freaking letters. No joke.
English was next and I was glad we only had like three to four essays to write. I knew what all the subjects were going to be.
One at least, was going to be a research paper and was worth half of the grade to graduate. Or just move on to junior.
The others were simple arguments and a peer story. Which is one on someone in your class. Sadly, I had Harrington. But I could ask a professional. Like Hopper or my parents. Mom works at the hospital and dad is a sub-teacher for Science high school.
Lunch was the same as ever. All I grabbed was an apple then moved on to a table. Which I found Jonathan and Bailey?
"Hello." I said biting into my apple.
"Hey Lucy. This is Bailey Henderson. We've been in a lot of the same classes since middle school." Jonathan explains.
"Nice to meet you. And your Dustin's older sister?"
"Yeah. Will and Dustin have been great friends. It also keeps Dustin out of the house. He's a smart cookie, but not that smart sometimes." Bailey says.
"And I have an older sister. Jenn. She's a doll and works with Jim Hopper in the police force."
Bailey had such beautiful hair. Golden blonde. How was she related to Dustin?
"Lucy! Want to hang out with us?" Harrington called.
I rolled my eyes, seeing Nancy pouting. Not working. "Nope!"
And that was that. I ignored whatever else was said to me.
By the time lunch was over and Language was on, I wrote down a lot of different languages I would love to learn.
Mostly the dead languages. Greek, Latin, Roman, Hebrew, Italian, which I needed some Spanish for, and Japanese. Which also needed China related. But I didn't care. I already knew my sister loved french and left that for her to learn.
Once class was over, "Foyer." The teacher called.
"Yes?"
"You really want to learn all of these?"
"Just what I can. I might teach myself after high school while in college. But, that's three years away." And I didn't know what I wanted to do exactly.
"Alright. But this means a LOT of time on your hands."
"I know! Thank you Miss Vanderwale!" I shouted as I ran to PE.
Hope you like what I've got so far.
