When I First Met U

When I first saw her

The moment I saw her, I believed she liked my friend, Mike, since the two were close to one other. The first time I actually got a full glance at her, her hair was cut so short, so I grew curious as to why her hair was that short. I had so many questions for her, but I didn’t want to make her uncomfortable. The girl was in a hospital gown, so did she come from the hospital?

    She caught onto my glance and glanced at me back. I gave her a small smile before changing my face back to a stern one. She raised an eyebrow and looked at me sternly as well. I think she is matching my face that I am giving her. Mike was blabbering about something so my face faded to slight annoyance.

    I heard her chuckle when I didn’t look at her since I was annoyed at Mike for talking about DnD. I decided to have a chance at talking, “Okay, can we not talk about DnD, please? It’s kind of annoying hearing about it,” Mike glanced at me annoyed, and rolled his eyes at me. I leaned on a wall inside his house. “You are lucky I asked kindly Wheeler and I’m going to leave you and your little girlfriend alone,” I say picking up my skateboard off the floor.

    I started to walk towards the door till she said something, “No wait,” I look at her and her dark and mysterious eyes look like they want me to stay there while the boys talk about DnD for a couple more hours. Mike looked at her weirdly, “Why’d you say that?” She snapped her head to look at him, she had a dull expression on her face, “I want her to stay here with us,” Mike and I looked at her with raised eyebrows. “Why do you want her to stay?” Mike asked her causing me to roll my eyes.

    I move my red hair out of my face, I don’t even know why I haven’t cut it yet. It’s getting long, it’s already down my back, and it ain’t getting any easier to take care of. “I want her to stay here, so I am not lonely,” She says. I don’t even know this girl and she wants me to stay, is it because I am another girl? “You won’t be lonely, you’ll have me, Will, Dustin, and Lucas here for you,” Mike says reaching for her shoulder. She smacked his hand away and gave him a glare.

    “No, I want her to stay with me, not you or them,” She says softening the glare that she had at me. I don’t understand why she wants me to stay and not them. “Well, wouldn’t you like to know my name before you stay with me?” I asked her making her nod her yes. She smiled softly while waiting for me to share my name. She had a cute little smile, but I can tell she was still scared of us, so she has trust issues. That’s fine, she’ll trust us eventually, I hope.

    “My name is Maxine, but you can call me Max, and you are?” I asked. She looked slightly up to meet my eyes, she is a little shorter than I am. “My name is Eleven.” She said in response. The guys raised their eyebrows in confusion. “Um, your real name?” One of them asked. She turned her head looking for who asked, “That is my real name, Eleven,” She said again.

    It was getting kind of late so they started walking to their houses whereas Mike show

wed Eleven a spare room in his house she can stay a little bit. Eventually, Mike’s sister comes into the room and sees her there then she doesn’t say anything. “Made a new friend did ya MIke?” Nancy asked him. He looked at his older sister in a panic. Eleven nodded her yes, “Yes, I am his new friend, Eleven, nice to meet you. I don’t know your name so may I know it as well?” Eleven asked Nancy. “Eleven is your name?” asked Nancy". Eleven nodded her head yet again.

    “Well nice to meet you Eleven, my name is Nancy Wheeler, Mike’s older sister,” Nancy said to her while giving her a small smile. Nancy walked upstairs to her bedroom. “Oh, and Mike, make sure she gets home safe, I don’t need her parents getting worried,” Nancy said before shutting her bedroom door shut. Eleven just stares at Mike since she doesn’t know what to do. “Um, follow me Eleven,” He says leading her to a guest room that the Wheeler’s had. “Thank you,” Eleven said to him.

"No problem,” He said with a small smile He leads Eleven to the room, she flops on the bed and stares at him when he shuts the door. She didn’t lay down and sleep, she got off the bed, and snuck out of the room. She found a stool in the kitchen and snuck some of the food. She opened the front door and started running. She went inside the woods and hid there till morning was coming. The branches snapped underneath her feet when she ran.

Until she heard a noise, it was a loud noise. It sounded like a vehicle, but she doesn’t know what a vehicle sounds like. So she ducked behind a tree while munching on the food from the Wheeler's household. A sheriff comes out of the vehicle and starts to search her surrounding area to see what the noise was in the forest. She saw a man in police clothes walking toward her.

A’s note: Author’s again so, as we told you it would be semi-canon so this little scene with Hopper and El is kind of based on our imagination since we are kind of forgetful of what exactly happened. Hope you enjoy it though, and we’ll look back into the Wiki or the series on Netflix for guidance if we want to add more canon details to the story.
