Twas the night before their first day of highschool and Mike and El were laying in their fort in the basement. Both of them were nervous, yet excited. Many opportunities would arise from entering high school for both of them. They were about to begin a long, stressful and fun four year journey together. Neither of them knew what high school would have in store for them.

"Are you excited for tomorrow El?" Mike asked.

"Yes, I just hope it's better, than my last first day of school." Eleven stated.

Mike replied, "What was so bad about your last first day."

"Well for starters barely knew anyone, I kept getting lost, and I leaked all over myself." El explained.

"Hey you made it through it at least." Mike stated.

El replied, "Yeah. At least this time I'm not gonna be bleeding all over myself."

"Well that's good." Mike said.

"What are you most excited about?" El asked.

Mike replied, "I heard they have an amazing biology class. What about you?"

"Choir. I can't believe I'm good enough for the high school music department. I didn't think I was that good." El said.

Mike replied, "Eleven your voice is outstanding. You totally deserve this."

"Thanks Mike. Well goodnight prince." El said.

"Goodnight my princess." Mike said.

Both of them fell asleep in the fort, and awoke super early to get ready. Eleven wore a red top with patterned leggings that included the color red. Mike wore a red flannel and jeans. Both of them rushed to get to school early worried they wouldn't be able to find their classes. Luckily, their first hour was the same Honors Algebra. Their lockers were fairly close to each other, so they put their stuff in their lockers and searched for their classroom.

El and Mike took a seat next to the boys and Audrey. They started to chat when the teacher came in and they all gulped. The teacher was a big, scary man. His voice was loud and creepy. All of the kids agreed that they had a long hard year of complicated work and an extremely creepy teacher. The next hour El had was choir and she saw Margaret on her way. Margaret showed Eleven where to go, because her older sister had shown her.

The choir director was a jolly, sweet, older lady. Her name was . The director sang for the class who mouths dropped at her amazing voice. lead the class in some warm-ups and suddenly stopped in the middle.

"Wow. Who's lovely soprano voice is that?" The director asked. El looked around surely it was another soprano not her.

"First row only song please." Mrs. Tinsley asked. A smile appeared on the directors face as she approached El.

"Sweetie What is your name? Your voice is quite beautiful and you have lots of potential in music." Mrs. Tinsley asked El.

El replied, "My name is El and thank you for the kind complement ."

"No problem El. Now I would like to ask you to join our community chorale. It's full of a bunch of amazing voices from the community of Hawkins and its surrounding towns. We would love to have you. We meet every Monday and Thursday night." Mrs Tinsley explained.

"I would be honored. May I come this coming Thursday?" Eleven asked.

She replied, "Why of course dear anytime."

The class continued their warm-ups and El thought about how happy she was about the teacher's complement. She was excited for the opportunity to sing more often. El wanted as much experience as possible, because she wanted to become a choir director and vocal teacher. She loved kids and singing, so it was perfect for her. After class on the way to Honors Biology Eleven told Mike wat had happened. He kissed her on the cheek and told her how proud he was.

Before she knew it lunch had arrived and fortunately they all had gotten the same lunch. El and the boys found a table along with Margaret and Audrey. The girls whispered to each other about how Margaret had found a cute guy in art. All three of them giggled as the boys gave them weird looks. The guy had just gotten his tray and the girls pushed Margaret to ask him to sit with them. Audrey and El smiled at each other as Margret went to asked.

Margaret brought they guy back as El and Audrey kept winking at her and secretly giggling. El whispered a good job to Margaret. Audrey looked at her and moved her eyebrows up and down.

"Hi everyone I'm Tyler. Margret and I sit at the same art table." The guy said as he sat down. They all introduced themselves and Tyler sat down. Will and Tyler immediately clicked discussing all things art. Tyler also loved the arcade and D&D so he fit right in.

"He fits right in Margie. He cute and seems nice. Tyler is perfect for you." El whispered to Margaret.

Audrey whispered, "She's right Margie I think you found yourself a homecoming date. It seems like he'll be sitting here from now on."

"Now we just gotta find you a hot date." El whispered to Audrey.

Audrey whispered, "What do you mean Dusty is my date."

"I know you have a date, but we need to find you a hot one." El whispered.

The girls bursted out laughing and the boys including Tyler gave them a weird look.

"Now that's a little harsh." Audrey whispered.

"You know I'm just kidding I love Dusty. He's one of my best friends." El sated a little too loudly.

"Well I see I'm the center of conversation. Hopefully, that's a good thing. Dustin said.

The girls all laughed and the bell rang to go to their sixth hour class. Will and Tyler were in El's next class so she took a seat next to them.

"So Tyler what do you think of Margaret?" El asked.

Tyler replied, "She's sweet and funny, so she's cool I guess. Why?"

"Just wondering." El answered.

"Oh no Tyler your in trouble." Will stated.

"Why is that?" Tyler asked.

Will answered, "El is up to something and that is never good."

The day was over before El knew it and the final bell rang. Mike and Eleven had their last hour together, so they went to their lockers together. They weren't prepared for the fact that everyone would run out as fast as possible. Both of them dodged the upper class men as they ran out of the school at the pace of everyone else. El and Mike's first day had been a success.
