The week began like any other. Her watch went off at 7:45. She ate her breakfast, slower than usual although it was a Monday. El found that she disliked Monday more than any other day. It meant getting out of the weekend regime and back into the weekday routine. El much preferred the weekend routine.

Once she was ready, she got on her bike and made her way into town. Will was feeling ill today so he stayed home. There was a different feel about today as she was finally going to learn what 'sex' was. She checked with Mr. Clarke that it would be ok for her to stay after school and learn about sex. When school had finished she stayed behind for her class. When it was finished she thanked Mr. Clarke and left homebound just after 17:00

El had trouble remembering everything that she had learnt about sex but she was pretty sure of what was involved, how to do it and what happened after. For instance, she didn't know that babies are made through this act. El also didn't know that boys didn't have what she had. El had often wondered why boys had different changing rooms and toilets. Now she understood why.

When she arrived home she went to check on Will and he had recovered over the day so that was good. She had a couple of pieces of homework to do so she went up to her room to do her homework. Her room was not a typical girl's room. When Hopper had moved in with Joyce, there was no room for El so they had to build her a new room (El's powers really came in handy). It was covered in posters for basketball clubs.

El had a passion for basketball but she had never tried out for the team. Her friends had pushed her too but she had never taken them seriously. When she had done all her homework she went downstairs and asked if she could go over to Mike's for dinner. They agreed as long as she was back in time for bed as it was a school night.

She got over to Mike's and his mom was all too pleased to see her, as she usually was. They said hi before going downstairs where El helped Mike with the same homework that she had finished earlier. They finished just in time for dinner and it was a lovely beef casserole with mixed veg and gravy. She headed home after that with a full stomach and a kiss planted on her forehead by the boy she held most dear.

Tuesday and Wednesday passed by pretty normally. Will went back to school on Tuesday and El stayed home for dinner. Before long it was Thursday afternoon and she was on her way to the Wheeler's house but not to see Mike for once. She was going to pick out her dress for her 'movie' on Sunday. Jonathan was driving them to the store and would pick them up about 1hr after he had dropped them off.

They got out the car and went into the clothes store. El gasped. Even though she had been in the store before, it never ceased to amaze her that all these clothes could be all in one place. Nancy said 'Go over to the Girls section. I'm sure you'll find something that you like. Please make sure it's not that expensive'.

'Ok' El replied.

She skipped over to the girls section and in about 10mins she had found 2 dresses that she couldn't pick between. One was lime green over the shoulders. One was yellow and strapless. She went over to tell Nancy. Nancy had picked out a couple of new thing for herself and went over to see El in her two dresses.

After showing them both to Nancy they both decided that she looked better in the yellow one and so bought it. It cost $45.99 but it was worth it. They went and got some ice cream afterwards before Jonathan picked them up. He dropped Nancy home and then drove back home with El.

Friday went as quick as El wanted it to go because this week the sleepover was at Mike's house. They all showed up at the usual time loaded up on food and ready for a D&D game. The game lasted well into the night and they finally went to bed just before midnight.

They all woke up on Saturday morning around 9:00. Joyce made sure to tell Will to come up with a way for them to stay at Mike's all day Saturday like they did the week before as she was getting things ready for the party. Joyce even suggested that they all spend Saturday night at Mike's as well. They all knew the reason why.

They set up a D&D game that lasted the whole day. At the end of the game Mike thought to himself 'This is what true friends are. I am so thankful to have such great friends'. With that they all fell asleep with great anticipation for the party tomorrow (Except El who was wondering what film they would be going to see tomorrow). Once again Dustin's snoring took over the whole house and tomorrow's party was going to be nothing short of spectacular.
