Ziggy wakes up and, like always, pulls out her walkie from her backpack.

"El....please talk to me. I miss you so much. I can't do this without you. I need you in time for the Snowball.. remember? We are gonna go together and look so happy..and don't care about those jerks judging looks. It's you and me, against the world. I like you, Eleven. Please come back to me"

Ziggy goes down to eat breakfast before school.

"I can take you to school, if you want" Nate offers as the two eats breakfast.
"By the way, where's Jenna?"

"At Steve's" Ziggy answers casually.

Nate gives her a look of sadness and pity. "It's fine, I'm used to it" she says.

Ziggy drinks up her apple juice and grabs her backpack. "See ya!"

"Have a good day!" Nate shouts.

Ziggy walks on the bus that stays outside the middle school.

She listens to a cassette by Queen named "A Night At The Opera" from 1975. She walks and sees many places being taken.

She sees Cynthia send her a small smile, offering to let her sit beside her. Cynthia and Ziggy goes in the same class. Ziggy used to help Cynthia in science.

As she smiles, she sits down and places her headphones around her neck.

"Hey, Cynthia" Ziggy says quietly.

"Ziggy! Hey, nice to see you!" Cynthia says. "Please, call me Cindy, all my friends does"

"We are friends?" Ziggy questions and raises her eyebrows.

"Of course! I'm sorry we haven't talked in a while. You know... I got popular and you started in the AV club. With.. Wheeler, Sinclair and their two other friends, right?"

"Yes. I know, I'm such a nerd" Ziggy says, half-joking.

Then the bus stops ay the middle school, and Ziggy stands up smiling small.
"See you, Cindy"

Cynthia waves her goodbye with a sweet smile as Ziggy walks out of the bus and takes on her headphones once again and plays Kate Bush again.

Ziggy walks towards the middle school with headphones and sees her friends in their Ghostbusters costumes.

Last year, they decided that Ziggy should play the roll as the ghost. But Ziggy didn't feel like doing Halloween this year because of Halloween. Her friends says she's being ridiculous and can't stop living her life because Eleven's gone. But to Ziggy, it didn't feel like they known each other for less than a week. They have a connection. Ziggy felt good when she was with Eleven. Losing El, is the worst possible thing that could ever happen to Christine Spence.

The four boys looks at her as she walks past them, but with a long look at them before entering the school building.

She leaves her backpack in her locker. But keeps the headphones and cassette on the left side of her waist.
