Another boring day at school for Mike Wheeler and his friends. Growing up, they all liked school, but when it came to highschool, it SUCKED.
SO many tests
SO much drama, and
SO much homework
The one thing that made school bearable for Mike, was El Hopper. His beautiful girlfriend. Just being around her made Mike smile.
Throughout the day, they only have one class together. English. Both of their favourite because they are together.
What everyone assumed would be a normal day, turned into a nightmare. The intruder alarm went off and everyone dove to the floor, hiding behind desks. Mike quickly dove beside El, and held her hand. She was shaking and crying. Bad men. Bad men. Bad men. Was all she could think about. After 3 years, they have come for her.
Mike was trying to comfort her when three masked men blasted through the door. "EVERYONE UP!" One of them shouted. "IN A LINE." Said another.
El was relieved to see it was not the bad men, but she was still horrified.
Everyone got up, Mike and El holding hands, both shaking. "BOYS HERE GIRLS OVER THERE!" Shouted one pointing to different areas in the room, not too far apart.
One of the men walked over to the girls and started to examine them, taking his time. When he got to El, she whispered shakily to herself "mouth breather" "WHAT DID YOU JUST SAY?!" Said the man examining her. He put the gun to her head and looked at the other men, "this ones mouthy." "Kill her" the man said blankly. Mike ran to knock the gun out of his hand, but he was too quick. He spun around and shot Mike in the gut.
El screamed in horror as he fell to the floor, just as the sound of sirens can into earshot. The men ran, leaving mike on the floor.
As soon as they were gone, she ran and collapsed on the floor by mike and taking his head into her lap.
"WHY THE HELL WOULD YOU DO THAT MIKE!" She said crying hysterically. He looked at El and said weakly "I-I lo-o-vvvve y-y-yooou E-E-E-llll." As his last breath escapes his lungs.
El screamed for anyone to help, but he was gone. She would never get to see his beautiful eyes, his smile, nothing. She would never get to say I love you back, because those men took him from her.
When the police got there she hadn't moved. When Hop came in he picked her up in his arms and carried her out of the room. She looked back one last time, to see Mikes limp dead body on the floor.
El woke up to Mike shaking her and asking what was wrong.
It was all a dream.
She sat up and kissed him, she was so happy he was alive. She told him how much she loved him, and that she never wants to lose him. She was still crying hysterically but all she wanted to do was be with him.
Later, she told him about the dream, he comforted her, and they spent the rest of the day watching movies on the couch.
