[Third person pov]

Esther Eloise Copeland walked out of the girls locker room in her own little world. She was still thinking about her encounter with her crush Mike Wheeler at lunch. He was in line to get some of the almost edible food they served and she was standing behind him. She had bumped into him due to the fact that there were a lot of people trying to get to their lunch tables and she was quite small. When she had bumped into him he said that he was sorry and brought up a memory from Holloween two years ago. She had fallen into a rock and he walked her home with his friend Will. Those two encounters were the main reason she liked him so much. He always was asking if she was okay and caring for her. Even though he didn't remember it all clearly it made her day. 

She was pulled out of her trance when she was close to the astronamy classroom and heard yelling. She found her older sister Astrid in a fight with the teacher. 

"We always use this classroom for club why is it now being used for detention?" 

"We need a room to hold detention in so you will either have to hold club somewhere else, skip today or you can stay in this room and be in detention. Your choice." 

"Fine come on. We're going to have at ask Eddie if he'll let us use the back of the auditorium," Astrid said before walking out and the other five members following after her. Essie was trying to remember if she had spoken to him at all and if he was nice. The only memory she can scrounge together is at that same lunch she bumped into mike, when Eddie is giving a speech and in passing he insults their practice. She can't be to upset because he doesn't actually know the full extent of it but it still hurt. 

"Do you think he'll actually let us use the back," Essie asked one of her fellow club members Kaily Hutchins(iykyk), she was a year older than Essie meaning that she was in the same grade as Mike. 

"I think he will, I've talked Mike about him like once when I was thinking about joining hellfire before I started in this club. Mike says that while he's pretty mean sometimes he's usually not that bad." Essie didn't exactly know how she felt about Kaily talking to Mike but she would have to deal. He was her crush not her property. 

When they walked into the theater they were met with a group of boys around a table in matching shirts. Though they couldn't judge seeing as they are all also wearing matching shirts. 

"What the fuck do you want. We are in the middle of a very serious campaign if you don't mind," Eddie yelled. 

"We were wondering if we could use the back stage of the auditorium? We got kicked out of our club room because they needed it for detention," Astrid explained to Eddie who then rolled his eyes in response. "Come on~ We could count it as that favor you owe me?" 

"Fine! But if you're to loud I'm kicking you out kay?" Astrid says nothing and walks towards the back with the rest of the girls following her. 

Time skip

After about an hour both groups exited the school. Essie was walking down towards the street when she heard someone yell to "watch out". When she looked to the side she saw a boy on his bike with his backpack. She jumped out of the way and to the boy who was now on the ground.

"Hey are you okay," she asked as she ran towards him. When she got there she realized it was the one and only Mike Wheeler.

"Oh yeah I'm fine. Uh you're from the glamour club right?" Essie nodded. "Well um I got up to use the bathroom and I saw you guys doing some um interesting stuff. Seemed kinda cool but also a little weird- Not weird in a bad way, weird in an interesting way. I was wondering if you could tell me about it? You don't have to but if you could that would be cool," Mike said. Essie could barely breathe. Mike Wheeler, the boy she had been crushing on for years, was interested in her hobby. He had seen it and he didn't think it was bad at all. He thought it was cool which meant to some extent he thought she was cool too.

"Oh um sure I could tell you about it! There's a lot of stuff to talk about and explain if you wanted we could hang out right now and I could tell you. You don't have to of course but I'm free to if you would like," she said as a wide smile stretched against her face. She was ecstatic and Mike could clearly tell. She was so happy and Mike couldn't say no. He liked the feeling of someone being really excited to hang out with him. El had been happy to see him but this girl was excited to see him.

"What's your name by the way?"

"Oh my name's Esther, Esther Eloise Copeland. But everyone calls me Essie."

"That's a cool name, I'm Micheal Wheeler, But everyone calls me Mike. So I was wondering if you wanted to go to the diner and get milkshakes or if you want to go hang out at one of our houses," Mike asked while walking towards the road.

"I'm fine with going to the diner." With that the two set off towards the nearest diner.

"Let's go sit over there kay," Mike asked pointing at a booth in the corner. 

"Okay," Essie giggled while skipping towards the booth. Mike liked the sound of her giggle. She sounded so happy to be there. She seemed like that with a lot of things. It's one of the things that made her so interesting to him. She seemed so spacey, it made her seem soft. He would have talked to her more but they didn't have much time to. Because she was a year younger they didn't have many opportunities to talk to each other. Now they were talking to each other and going to a diner together.

Mike sat across from the younger girl.

"So since you want to know about my club I'll start eith something simple, zodiac signs. Basically it's a sign you get based on how the planets were aligned when you were born," Essie said while pulling out one of her many books on the subject. "What's your birthday?"

"April 7th."

"That would mean you're an Aries. Aries is strong and full of vitality like its animal the ram. People who are Aries tend to be extroverted and like to take charge. They need action and know how to get a job done, Aries are represented by the element of fire," Essie explained while Mike just looked at her. This was the first time he had ever seen her really focus on something. He was mesmerised by her face. She had tan skin and freckles. Her cheeks were almost always tinted red. He couldn't tell if it was make-up or not but he didn't really care. He thought the redness of her round cheeks made her look sweet. She looked up from her book and their eyes met. "Is something wrong?"

"No no this is all just really interesting." Essie smiled. Mike was still studying her face. He noticed that she had a gap in her teeth. She also noticed the way her big round eyes were two different colors. One was a light green and the other was dark brown. It made her more interesting and made her almost fairy like or nymphic.
