"Ok! You should be ready for your 'date'." Said Nancy
I looked in the mirror, it wasn't like I was wearing anything unusual; just a pink dress, but Nancy helped me put on some makeup.
"Pretty." I said
"Mike's probably done, so I think you can go show him."
I walked out of her room and down the stairs
I was nervous, first date? I hated the thought of a date just three months ago, and now I'm going on one.
Suddenly, I was awestruck; She was walking down the stairs, wearing a pink dress. She was the most beautiful thing I'd seen in my life.
"Pretty?" She asked me
"Yeah, really pretty." I said, blushing
"See you guys, get back before eight. And Mike?" Asked Nancy
"What?" I said, confused
"No funny business."
"Keep talking and I might let it slip a certain Byers boy who slips through your window almost every other night."
She looked shocked
"How?"
"Bye Nance."
We left
We got to my choice of location, Benny's.
Once we got off of the bike, El looked into the restaurant.
Her face turned to complete terror.
"El, what's wrong?" I asked
"Nothing."
"El, friends don't lie."
There was a moment of silence
"Benny." She said quietly
"You knew him? Before he… committed suicide."
"Yes, and no."
"What do you mean."
"I came here, first. They killed him." She said, fighting back tears
"Oh. I'm sorry, we can go somewhere else."
"No." she said determinedly, giving me a small smile.
"Oh, ok." I said, entangling my fingers into hers
We walked in
Benny's friend ran the place now.
"Oh, hey guys!"
"Hey Earl." I said
"Already know what you want?"
"I do, but I don't think she does."
"Then I'll get you a menu."
"Thank you." El said
We sat down at a table next to the front window
"Here you go." Said Earl, handing El a menu
She pointed at the normal burger, and a strawberry milkshake
"Ok little lady, and for you?" He said, gesturing towards me
"I'll have what she has, but with a vanilla shake instead."
"Alrighty then." He said, taking El's menu and going to the kitchen
"Thanks." I said
The food and drinks only took around two minutes to get to our table, we were the only people there.
"There you go." Said Earl, giving her milkshake to her.
"Thanks." She replied
We ate, joking around, messing with each other. She got a little whipped cream on her nose, and I wiped it off with my thumb. God, I wanted to kiss her. I suddenly pulled my hand away and blushed, remembering that I didn't know if she was telepathic. I guess she wasn't, since she proceeded to dip her fries into her milkshake, her face unchanging. She looked so beautiful. This is how I wanted it to be, always.
Until she knocked her milkshake off of the table.
"Woah!" I said, but the shake was floating mid air
"Nice save." I said
"Mike." She said, looking at me
"What?"
"I'm not doing that."
I felt a liquid coming out of my nose, and reaching my lips.
Blood
"Sir, he found out." Said a voice through the speaker in my office
"Shit, move in dammit!" I said
"Yes doctor."
Suddenly, there was a man in a suit walking into the diner
"Mike." I whispered, noticing the man's gun
"Run." He whispered
So we did
"STOP!" yelled the man in the suit
There was another man waiting outside the door, with a syringe in hand.
"Mike!"
He grabbed me, and as I kicked and struggled and tried to focus my powers, everything went black.
