"she's not getting better." kai says as el nods, putting her phone by her pencil holder so he could see her better through facetime.

"she will, kai." el promises him.

"she still has a fever, has a cough and she just looks in pain." he mumbles.

"she'll be fine, okay? she will get better." she reassures him as he nods. "now i have to go get ready for my date, i'll come by tomorrow."

he nods, "a date, huh? where to?"

"it's a surprise for everyone. now i really have to go." she blows him a kiss, "love you!"

"love you too!" he smiles as she hangs up.

shutting her phone, she walks to her closet and pulls out her already chosen outfit.

it was a a mint green lace scallop trim cami top along with a pair of blue light washed wide ankle jeans. smiling to herself, she put the outfit on and then some accessories.

after that, she started to do her makeup but she didn't put much on. mostly it was eye makeup. she did the makeup on her stomach as well and then went on to style her hair.

she put on a cute matching bandana on, making sure some of her baby hairs fell out on the sides so it'd look better.

she then put her pair of air forces on and grabbed her bag before exiting her room.

she was really excited because after days of begging mike, he let her pick him up instead and let her drive as well.

"bye dad, i'm going." she kisses hopper on the cheek.

he nods, "be back by 11." he reminds her.

"i know." she smiles before exiting the cabin.

she unlocks her car and gets into it, pulling out of the driveway quickly.

she had everything planned out perfectly. dinner, then somewhere fun. hopefully, mike would like it though.

a little part of her was scared that mike would hate the date and then dump her for it. maybe she was just freaking out but she really was scared he wouldn't like where they would head.

finally, she arrived at his house and parked in the driveway before heading to the front door to knock on it.

karen answered with a wide smile, "wow, el! you look gorgeous!"

el smiles widely, "thank you! is mike re-"

before she could finish her sentence, mike came running down the stairs loudly.

"hey." he smiles, looking her up and down. "hi." she waves, smiling softly at him.

he walks over to her, giving her a kiss. "you look great." he whispers in her ear so karen wouldn't hear.

she blushes, "you do too." staring at his outfit which was a white button up shirt with black jeans along with a chain at the side.
