Joyce and Chief Hopper immediately left to try and snag Will from “The Upside Down.”
Jonathan and Nancy abandoned you to try and kill the Demogorgon.
You are left to your own devices in your Middle School gym, twiddling your thumbs so you won’t be caught by the goons from the lab looking for El.
Your stomach rumbles.

Only as you place the final chunk of Eggo in your mouth do you realize that El is staring at you. You had just eaten her absolute favorite food in front of her and didn't even think to share.
"Oh...sorry, El."
She glares at you but quickly runs out of energy and slumps back into the bleachers.

[[That's enough food->Boredom]]
[[Give El Eggos]] You glance around at your fellow party members and everyone looks exhausted from this past week’s events. Lucas is lying on one of the bleachers, throwing pebbles for his slingshot into the air. Mike won’t stop fidgeting, constantly bouncing his leg and checking his watch.
No one looks more drained than El. She had used her powers a lot today. She made a kid pee himself and broke his arm, robbed a grocery store, levitated Mike out of a quarry, threw a van across a street, and then found your friend in another dimension.
*All with her freaking mind.*
A drop of blood ran from her nose as she rested her head against Mike’s constantly moving shoulder. She needed to be recharged.

}El's face lights up when you give her two waffles wrapped in clingfilm. She rips the plastic off of her favorite food and within seconds the Eggos have disappeared. She is now slumped onto Mike's shoulder again, looking content and less drained than she did previously.

}El is confused when you hand her a 3 Musketeers. She had never seen one before and wasn't quite sure what to do with it. After a bit of assurance from you that nougat was one of the best substances on the planet, she opened the package and bit into the candy bar. She seemed to enjoy it and it brought a little bit of color back to her cheeks.

[[Continue->Boredom]] You feel like you could die of boredom. After this week from hell you would think you would relish this moment of peace, but all you can think about is how you have been left out of the action. The campaign continues while you wait to be rescued.
[But you are ever the optimist...]<c1|
(click: ?c1)[
Maybe being alone in the Middle School wasn’t the worst thing ever. You could do whatever you wanted, explore the school, ransack classrooms, maybe even find the answers to next week’s math test.
Hell, you could even go to the cafeteria and find Lunch Lady Phyllis’ chocolate pudding stash. She hordes that shit.

Mike and El grab seats in the lunch room while you and Lucas raid the kitchen for pudding. You hear El ask Mike what pudding is as you enter the kitchen.
[[Look in the cupboard]]
[[Look in the fridge]]
No pudding here. Just a can of Farrah Fawcett. Damn, Lunch Lady Phyllis, focus less on your hair and more on giving me pudding.

(link-reveal: "Chocolate Pudding.")[You knew Phyllis was lying when she told you she was out. You and Lucas load you arms with the tin cans from heaven and return to the main cafeteria with pride.
El is confused by the metal tins now surrounding her.

}El looks down at the brown goop you have just placed in her hands. She glances to Lucas for assurance. He smiles and nods as he is already halfway through a tin.
She scoops some pudding onto her finger and places it in her mouth. She smiles and goes back for more.
