ꨄSoulmates ꨄElmax

22

It was September. School was starting soon and the party wasn't exactly thrilled that summer was going to an end.

This summer felt like a dream to Max, her and El had went on dates, spent time with their friends, it was amazing. Everyday Max felt as though she was falling for El more and more everyday.

Their relationship was great right now, they learned how to communicate with one another. Sure, it took some time but they figured out and they couldn't imagine anything going wrong.

Everything was perfect.

"I can't believe this is the last day of summer." Max whinnied, her head in El's lap. Despite it being early September, it was still extremely hot. Max had made her and El sit right in front of the air conditioner. "Yeah, I don't want to go back to hell tomorrow." Lucas mumbled. He had been the single one of the group this summer, Dustin had met this girl named Suzie.

El smiled, "I'm thinking about trying out for cheerleading this year. April said i'd be welcome to join!" El had always wanted to play a sport, though she had always been shy. But as she kept growing older it was no secret puberty was changing her look. She had gotten bigger breasts, which the boys seemed to notice and her features began to mature. A lot of kids from school had talked to El this summer, inviting her to hang out with them.

She said yes sometimes, but never left her friends behind.

Max kissed her cheek, "I think you'd be good at cheerleading baby!"

"Gross." Mike sneered. It was a joke between them but it didn't stop Max from firing back. "Suck a dick Mike."

"I gladly would Maxine!"

"Don't call me Maxine! Michael!"

"Then don't be such a bitch."

"You're the bitch!"

"Am not!"

"Are too!"

"Hey! Idiots, could you shut the hell up for five seconds!" Dustin snapped, "Now. What i was trying to say is Suzie is coming to Hawkins High tomorrow so if you see her, be nice alright. I don't need you dickheads driving away my girlfriend."

They all groaned, none of them liked Suzie much. She was extremely clingy and possessive. She had basically kept Dustin from them all summer. "Whatever you say, Dustydun!" Lucas teased, grabbing another comic book from the table.

"Only Suzie can call me that asshole!"

Max found the whole thing funny, "Well tell Suzie-pooh that she has to share her dustydun then." they all laughed besides Dustin ignored their teasing and rolled his eyes.

El was deep in thoughts, looking down at her girlfriend and lighting running her fingers threw the girls hair. "Hey max..."

Max looked up, "Yeah?"

"When we go back to school... people will know we are soulmates. Because of our marks..." El and Max had both discussed they weren't quite ready to come out to everyone yet. They were together and they were happy, that's how it was. "We can cover them up if you want to... I have makeup and we can use bandaids." Max wasn't too happy about covering up their marks. Despite her family not being supportive she didn't care what people thought about her. She was ready to come out, she just didn't want to ruin her relationship with El. They agreed to go threw everything together.

El nodded, "Yeah i'll do that... thank you." she kissed Max's forehead, which was very sweaty. "Gross! Your forehead is sweaty."

"Sorry i'm just so hot!" Max winked.

El blushed, "Yeah you are..."

"Hey, you guys wanna make a cake?" Mike asked, he was bored and didn't want to just sit in his basement for the rest of the day listening to Max and El flirt.

They nodded, "What kind of cake?" Dustin asked.

Will was quick to speak, "Pineapple upside down cake!"

"But I wanted chocolate." Dustin whinnied.

"Can we please make pineapple upside down cake. It's my favorite and it's so good!" Will begged, knowing he was going to get his way even if he didn't beg. No one could say no to him and he knew it. "Fine. Come on, let's go." Dustin said and they all quickly went upstairs to make the cake.

They had made a mess.

Mike has the bright idea to wipe his hands on Will's back causing flour, butter and eggs to get on Will's new shirt he had got just yesterday. So, Will cracked a egg on his boyfriends head. One thing led to another and suddenly everyone was covered in cake ingredients beside Dustin who was lecturing them the whole time.

"Your mom is going to kill us Mike! We are going to get in trouble and i'm not going to be your mom's favorite anymore!" Dustin ranted, picking up the egg shells of the counter. "You were never my mom's favorite anyway!" Mike laughed.

"Yeah because i'm your mom's favorite, duh." El said smiling. "You are not, I am!" Will argued.

Will has known Mrs.Wheeler for the longest and is the closest with Mike, it would only make sense that he was her favorite. "Fine. When she gets back we can ask her." El huffed but still had a smile smile on her face.

So now everyone was quickly cleaning their mess, Max yelling at Mike the entire time saying it was his fault and he should clean the mess. She wasn't wrong. And though they argued while wiping the mess, they deep down enjoyed it. It was no secret that they were getting older meaning they were eventually going to drift apart. So anytime together felt good, even if they were hurrying to pick up egg shells off the ground before Mrs.Wheeler got home.

The front door suddenly opened, "Michael! I'm home." a voice called out.

The party scrambled around the kitchen, wiping everything down just in time, "Hey kids! You guys staying over for dinner?" Karen asked. "I would love to Mrs.Wheeler but I have to get home soon." Lucas said.

"Alright honey, anyone else leaving? I planned on just putting a frozen pizza in the oven but i don't mind to make dinner!"

Everyone loved Karen, "Thank you so much for the offer but me and El have to get home soon as well, Hop is serious about curfew." Will smiled. "Oh yes, Hop is a protective guy! He really is a great man, i'm happy for your mom by the way."

Everyone went back downstairs to get their things, "We didn't even make the cake..." Dustin realized, and everyone laughed.

"Hey Max, you staying over tonight?" El asked. "No. My mom is pretty pissed at me, I have to stay in that shit hole for a while. But i promise, i'll be okay!" She said.

El was worried, "Promise?"

"Promise El." Max wrapped her arms around her girlfriend, embracing her into a tight hug and gave her a quick kiss, "Bye El, I love you."

"Love you to..." El watched her girlfriend go upstairs to leave. Despite Max telling her she was going to be fine, El couldn't help but worry. "You ready to go home El?" Will asked, putting his shoes on.

"Yeah."
