"I swear to god, if you two are sucking face again I will throw up on you, Wheeler!" I yelled before opening the bedroom door. 
El and Mike were laying on opposite ends of the bed, reading two different comics. Both smiled at me when I walked in to grab my bag for work. 
Mike has been over every. single. day. 
Ever since Snowball, they have been inseparable and it makes me sick. I have seriously debated on if I should start charging Mike money to come into the house. Oh, and dads not thrilled about it either. 
"I told them, the door stays open three inches!" He yells from the recliner. 
Mike and Eleven scoot closer to each other on the bed and I reach for the spray bottle on my nightstand, spraying Mike when he goes to kiss her. 
"WHAT THE HELL?" 
"SHE'S THIRTEEN, PERV!" 
"I'M THIRTEEN TOO!" 
"I DON'T CARE! IT'S DISGUSTING!" 
Mike and I were yelling at each other until El used her powers to throw the bottle out of my hands and against the wall. 
"Dude!" I looked at her but she wasn't taking my side. "Dad! I don't think I want a sister anymore, she's moody now!"
"So were you!" He yelled back, making the kids snicker. 
"You aren't helping me!" 
El pointed to the clock on the wall then looked at me."You're going to be late." 
I checked the time, realizing what time it was."Shit! I gotta go!" 
"Love you guys, minus Mike. You suck,Wheeler!"  I yelled, then shut the front door.

It was a fifteen minute drive to the new Starcourt mall, where I recently got a job at Vinyl Crush, the newest music shop in Hawkins. Robin and I both quit our jobs at the theater once the mall opened, they promised more pay plus there was no more Keith. Speaking of Robin, I needed to pick her up for work. 
When she walked out of her house I rolled down my window and said, "Have I told you yet this summer that I absolutely adore your work uniform?" 
"Okay, it was funny the first time but now it just bites." She replied, getting in the car. 
"I can't believe they are making you guys wear that." I laughed, grabbing her Scoops Ahoy hat and putting it on my head. "I might keep this."
"Please do."
We pulled into the parking lot and I ran from Robin, who was trying to fight me back for her hat. Finally, I could catch my breath when I made it into Scoops. 
"This hat is mine now, Buckles." I smiled while she flipped me off. 
"Ahoy ladies!" Steve said from behind the counter. "Oh, I got this... one scoop strawberry and one scoop vanilla?"
"Correct." I nod to him. "Are you trying to impress me, Harrington?"
He shrugs playfully, grabbing a cone. 
Robin squints at me then looks over at the glass case of ice cream. "Chocolate fudge for Munson?"
"You are a little genius, my friend."
"Mhm." She smiles, scooping out Eddie's ice cream. 
"I thought you weren't going to be working with that freak?" Steve interrupts to ask.
