"Are you sure we should be going and leaving El?" Will asked Max while following Mike and Angela around the mall.
"She's strong. She'll get through it. She just needs time" Max said lowly
"Are you sure we shouldn't just tell Mike?" He asked.
"No! She would kill us. Better off them figuring it out"
~~~
El laid in her bed the whole time the rest of her friends plus Angela were getting ice cream. Mike was right, she loved ice cream. She just needed to not see him and Angela together.
She could tell Mike what she felt. But Dustin made it pretty clear that Mike only ever looked at her as a friend. Angela asked Mike is she was his girlfriend. So it must've looked like they were closer then they were.
El didn't want to lose Mike. That's why she never told him anything about her feelings. She ignored them for years. She definitely wasn't going to lose him now. So she was gonna play just as hard as Angela if not more. Tomorrow was a new day. Bio was 2nd class tomorrow. She knew what she would do.

El smiled looking in the mirror. Her blonde wavy hair in a high pony tail to expose her neck, a red tight crop top, black leather skirt, bright red lipstick to match. And she put her glasses back on because of the comment he made yesterday. Max walked in wide eyed.
"What is going on?!" Max yelled.
"What? I'm just taking your advice on dressing hot" El shrugged
"Hot? El you look like sex on a stick!"
"Good" El smiled walking out, Max running after her.
"So what's your plan then? Cause yesterday you seemed so heart broken?" Max asked while driving them to school.
"Nothing. I'm just gonna go back to normal. Mikes my best friend. And I'm not gonna let that bitch ruin it!"
"El... she's actually quite fun! I think you'd like her if you gave her a chance"
El ignored her and skipped out of her car to homeroom.
"Damn Hopper, still on the get Mike to notice me plan?" Dustin asked laughing
"No. Obviously we are just friends. But I liked the attention " she laughed.
El walked into Bio class after her first class. And what she found wasn't what she expected it. Mike Wheeler sitting there, in a basic white tee-shirt, with a black leather jacket on, and dark jeans. Angela wasn't there yet which gave El leverage.
Mike looked up at El shocked by her appearance but gave her a small smile. She smiled back walking over.
"Following my lead are ya?" El laughed sitting down next to him.
"I guess I am" He smiled sitting up, he was happy to see her somewhat back to normal.
El smiled at him softly
"Glasses are back eh?" He asked looking at her
El smiled and nodded "its easier"
"Looks better" Mike smiled.
El smiled running her hand through his hair "Your looking pretty good yourself" She smiled
Timed it perfectly cause that's when Angela walked in
"Yeah?" He hummed closing his eyes as she ran her fingers through his messy hair.
"Yeah, we match. It's cute" she laughed softly.
