Meant to Be: Chapter One
Hey guys! This is my first story and I'd appreciate it if you gave me some feedback! Thanks! I know this is a short chapter, but I'm kinda testing out things here. Thanks for reading!
El gets out of bed, 6 am on the dot. She couldn't wait any longer. She finally gets to go to school with her friends! She runs over to Hopper, passed out on the couch as usual.
"Daddy…" El whispers, trying to wake him up softly. He doesn't budge.
"Dad?" El tries again, speaking a little louder. Finally, she gets tired of waiting.
"DAAAAAAADD" El yells in his ear, scaring Hopper half to death as he wakes with a grunt.
"Jesus kid, what the hell do you want?"
"Dad! It's school day!"
Oh. Hopper almost forgot. It's been a year, and El can finally go back to school.
He sits up, his bones cracking at the sudden motion. Giving El a hug, he speaks again.
"Okay kid, well you go get ready and I'll go get a quick smoke. Then we can eat a nice breakfast to get you read for your big day." El grins and nods her head.
El heads back to her room, grabbing her favorite outfit out of her dresser that Nancy helped her pick out. Mike and the party got to visit her once a week, but now she gets to see them almost every day! After setting out her outfit, she heads to the bathroom. After using the toilet quickly, she opens the shower curtain and turns it on the perfect temperature. She gets out of her pink, silky pajamas and stands under the warm water, washing her hair with a strawberry shampoo.
After her shower, she brushes her hair and slicks it back like Kali did, but then she put a pink headband with a bow attached over it. She puts on her outfit which is a bright pink button down shirt, and a short jean skirt, with a pair of pink converse. She was ready for the day.
She walked out into the dining room, where Hopper has set out a big breakfast including bacon, eggs, cut apples, orange juice, and most importantly eggos to celebrate Els big day. Els mouth waters at the sight and she quickly walks over and plops down in her chair to eat.
"You ready for your big day kid?" El nods her head as she stuffs her mouth with all the goodies. "Now I don't want any monkey business, you know what that means?" El looks confused. Hopper speaks again. "You won't find this in the dictionary, but it means no bull shit, okay? And remember, never use your powers unless it's a life or death situation. You hear me?"
El nods her head. "Yes sir!"
"Well let's get going then!"
The two walk out the front door, stepping over the tripwire as Hopper puts his arm around El. They get in the big police truck, and make their way to Hawkins High School.
