it was just a normal monday in hawkins, me waking up at an unneccisary time in the morning for school. i woke up to my alarm, letting me know that it was 7:30 and time to get up. i went and had a quick shower, got changed into a white t-shirt and some blue jeans, grabbed my backpack and headed downstairs for my breakfast. i tried to hide my cuts as i walked out of my room, downstairs and into the kitchen.
as i grabbed a bowl and some cereal, my sister heather came downstairs. yes, that heather, heather holloway. my sister is the popularity of hawkins high school, the queen bee. as she was so popular, you probably guessed that she wasn't the best sister in the world, and you would be right. she was never very nice to me, treating me like i was her servant and getting me to do all her chores and everything when i was younger, although she's only three years older than me.
"move barf bag. your in the way." she said to me, acting disgusted at the sight of me. she pushed me and i fell right onto my butt. i decided i wasn't that hungry, and just decided to go to school. i grab my jacket off of the hook, shouted goodbye to my mum, grabbed my bike out of the garage and headed to school.
i started talking to my friends on my walkie talkie, telling them to meet me at mirkwood when we where on on our way to school. shortly after, i saw dustin and will coming down one road, and lucas and mike coming down another. we all started heading down the road that was directley in front of us, as that was the way to school.
we got there and i hugged them all, i had missed them over the summer. they all like to meet up during the summer, but i'm never allowed out. i hugged mike last, for an occupationally longer amount of time as the others. i knew what he had been going through, as he lost el and i knew that he loved her. she became one of my best friends, and i had lost her too.and plus, he was my childhood best friend (and secretly my favourite out of the whole group but no one else knew that) so i gave him special attention.
"hey mike! i missed you." i said as he hugged me.
"i missed you too! are you okay?" he asked because he knew what i was going through, and that my dad was abusive and i wasn't my sisters favourite person either. he had also seen my wrists, as i wore t-shirt's a lot. he knew i self harmed, and when he first found out i cried in his arms for hours.
"yeah i'm okay. getting better" i responded, flashing him a small smile. he smiled back and we were just about to head into school as some loud music started playing, and we all stopped and turned around and realised it was a blue car, which i had never seen before. it pulled up in a parking spot, and a girl and boy got out of it. i took a sudden interest to the girl, who was my age, a redhead and very pretty. i had always known i liked girls, but no one knew. they had all thought i just wasn't into boys yet, which would be strange because i'm 13 now and would know if i liked boys or not. the boy was about my sisters heathers age, and was smoking a cigarette. he had brown eyes and curly blonde hair. i knew i liked the girl as soon as i set eyes on her.
