No One's POV - The Upside Down
It was cold. El was shivering.
El had been in the Upside Down for almost a year now, and she still hasn't found a way out. Most days she cried. Cried for Mike, but he couldn't hear her. Sometimes she would hear his voice, and she would cling to the hope that someday she would find the gate.
"Mike," she whispered, not expecting him to hear her.
"El?," Mike whispered back. El shot up immediately, and tried to explain where she was, but her vocabulary was limited.
"Bad place. Cold," she managed to say.
"El, are you in the Upside Down?," Mike whispered frantically. El was currently in the Upside Down version of Mike's basement.
"Yes," El replied back.
"Don't worry! I'm going to find you," Mike said desperately.
"Mi..," El said, but was cut off by her powers. She was losing energy, probably dying.
She would see him soon. She had to, El thought to herself.
She soon fell asleep sobbing, because she missed Mike.
While El was asleep, a blue light started lighting up Mike's basement. It was the gate.
Few Hours Later...
El finally woke up, and saw a glowing blue light. It was a hovering hole, and something was on the other side. She immediately perked up.
Gate, El thought.
She decided to step through it. When she did, she wasn't in Hawkins.
No One's POV - Derry Middle School
It was storming real bad, and it didn't look like it was letting up. The school day was going by slow. The last week always does.
Why are we doing work on the last week of school anyway?, Richie thought to himself.
Luckily, Richie had the whole Losers club in his class, so it wasn't too bad. Unfortunately, Henry Bowers and his gang were in there.
"We going to the Barrens today?," Eddie asked to Richie and Bill.
"I-If the rain l-lets up," Bill stuttered.
"What do you wanna do if it doesn't?," Stan asked.
"We'll figure it out," Richie said.
The lunch bell rang, and everyone ran out the door. As the group was in line, and Henry and his gang came around.
He tripped Eddie, and one of his cronies belched on the whole group. Richie and Bill helped Eddie up, and the whole cafeteria laughed at the Losers.
Richie seemed ready to fight, but a teacher coughed, and the two groups separated from each other.
"I really hate them," Richie said.
"Trust me, everyone does," Mike said.
Finally the day ended, and the group met by the bike rake. It was still raining.
"Wanna go to the arcade?," Ben asked.
"I wanna go," Stan said.
"I can't because my mom-," Eddie started to say, but he realized no one was listening.
Everyone was looking at someone walking up the street. It was a girl with short, curly brown hair, and a pink dress. She was dirty, and her dress was ripped.
She looked like she had been through hell. Everyone in the front of the school was looking at this girl. Even Henry Bowers and his group. There was just something about her.
She must have realized people were staring at her. When she saw Richie, her eyes softened and she whispered, "Mike?"
