CHAPTER TWELVE;
• SOFIA •

"el... wake up. it's time for school." hopper knocks on el's bedroom door before opening it and walking in.

"el?" he shakes her awake as she hums tiredly.

"time for school. i made you eggos." he tells her.

"i don't want eggos." she mumbles.

"okay... what do you want?" he asks.

"starbucks." she says.

"fine. we can go to starbucks but you have to get up and get ready for school first." he says.

she mutters something he couldn't hear before she finally sat up and ran a hand through her hair.

"morning." he smiles.

she scowls, standing up and walking past him to her closet.

"i was hoping for a good morning back." he says.

"morning." she mumbles, grabbing some clothes and heading to the bathroom.

he sighs loudly, walking out of her room and to the kitchen.

"now remember, call me when you get home. remember to eat something as well and call me if something happens. i told the school that you might be feeling a bit off this month so they already know." hopper says.

el grabs her bag, "yeah, i know." she says quietly.

"and if you want to hang with your knuckleheads that's fine also, just call me and let me know. oh and if you see those assholes stacy and troy or if they're hurting you, you go to the principal." he continues on.

"i know." she rolls her eyes, "can i go now? i'm late for gym."

"what do you do in gym?" he asks.

she groans, "laps and dodgeball."

"okay, okay. don't kill anyone in the game." he half jokes.

"i'll try." she gets out of the car and heads inside the school.

"kid!" he shouts.

she stops walking and turns around, "what!?"

"love you!" he shouts.

she rolls her eyes, "love you too!" she slams the front door open and walks inside the school.

the halls were empty since she was already late but she could care less today. she headed to the gym slowly and walked in making everyone look at her.

"you're late ms diaz." mr robert says.

"it's ms hopper." she states, setting her bag down before sitting on the bleachers.

"3 laps for you." he says.

"yeah, i'm not doing that." she takes her phone out.
