Els weekend consisted of her becoming slightly back to herself. Will could hear her radio blasted as El sand to herself doing school work. Which she use to do a lot before the night of the party.
El smiled humming to herself as she was doing school work. Her phone Ched and she smiled seeing his name pop up. Ever since Friday night her and Troy had been texting non stop.
Will didn't know what was up, but he was hoping she was talking to Mike or Max since they all missed her.
Monday was here. She had told Will not to wait around for her. He didn't question it and agreed. Will arrived at school seeing the whole groups waiting for him.
"Els not here?" Will questioned
Everyone's eyebrows furrowed
"No. Don't know if you noticed but she basically cut us off" Dustin said.
"No I know. But she's been talking to someone on the phone all weekend since Friday night and I thought it was one of you."
Everyone shook thier head.
El smiled checking the mirror. She was wearing a purple lone sleeves crop top, with Black leather pants, and her hair in a high wavy pony tail. She smiled hearing a car honk and ran down out the door.
She climbed into Troy's mustang and they drove to school together. It wasn't long after Will had arrived to school so they were still all hanging out in front of the school.
"Holy shit" Max gasped watching El and Troy step out of the same car.
"What?" Angela asked.
"El..." She said pointing in thier direction and everyone looked.
There she was. Eleanor Hopper walking into the school with Troy. Something none of them would thought they would ever see.
"What the hell?" Mike asked angrily
"Right?! He's litterly the worst!" Dustin groaned.
"What's so wrong with him?" Angela asked.
"He made Mike, Dustin, and Lucas's life hell in middle school" Max stated.
"I can't believe she would sink so low!" Mike growled out.

El walked into Biology not giving Mike a second look and sitting down at her spot. She opened her text book to scan through it until her spoke up.
"What's wrong with you?" He snapped at her.
She whipped her head looking at him, brows together "excuse me?"
"Why have you been such a bitch?!"
El gasped. She knew she was avoiding Mike but she didn't think he'd be so mean about it.
"What are you talking about Mike"
"You ignored us for weeks! Won't talk! And now your hanging out with Troy all happy?"
"Mike.. who I hang out with isn't your business..." She said softly.
"Your so full of shit el! Friends don't lie? Isn't that your bullshit saying?! Or does that only apply when your not being a bitch?!" Mike yelled.
"MR WHEELER! Feel free to remove yourself from the classroom of you can't respect your classmates" The teacher yelled.
"Respect? This bitch doesn't deserve respect" he spat on Els face storming out of the classroom.
El sucked in a breath looking around her. All eyes were on her. She laid her head on a desk shedding a few tears. She gave Mike his space. She didn't want to come inbetween him and his relationship after that kiss. So she removed herself and now she was getting called out.

A few more weeks went by and El and Troy had gotten a lot closer. Troy asked her to be his girlfriend not long after her fight with Mike. So she gladly accepted.
Her and Mike never spoke again. Their bio teacher let El work alone on her end of term project and moved her seat so she wasn't next to him.
Some days it killed El. Not being able to talk to Mike, nor the party. Will would still make conversation with her, but it's nothing like it use to be. Who knew one night of drinking could totally change the friendships you had.
Other then that, El was pretty content with life. Acing all her classes, she had a boyfriend, she had a few new friends, life was pretty good.
Today was a basketball game. The finals against another school. El usually didn't go to a lot of games, but she knew this was important so she went.
She knew to expect the whole party being there, Lucas was also on the basketball team, and since it was finals she knew he would have invited them all.
El sat front and center watching her star boyfriend of the basketball game. A few rows behind her was the party. Even Mike showed up which did surprise her cause usually he would come up with any excuse not to go.
The game was coming down to the very last few seconds. Game tied. El sat there.bkuncimg her leg as she did when she was nervous. Troy grabbed the ball and shot it. The buzzer rang and everyone's eyes were on the ball. As soon as the ball went in and it was announced they won el stood up screaming and clapping and Troy ran over to her spinning her around.
"Congratulations!!" She yelled
He smiled pulling her close and giving her a kiss basically in front of the whole school.
El blushed slightly and nodded for him to go back to her team mates. She didn't notice but Max was now standing beside her.
"Isn't it a dream? Being a girlfriend to a basketball star?" Max asked.
El smiled and nodded "not horrible"
"You know... I really miss you El.." Max said softly.
"I miss you too Max I'm sorry.." El whispered then looked at her.
Max pulled El in close
"I don't care what happened between you and Wheeler. I miss my best friend. And now that she's a basketball girlfriend. We can hang out as that" Max chuckled holding onto her.
El smiled hugging Max just as tight "I'm sorry I was jealous. It seemed like everyone liked Angela and wanted her to replace me.."
Max let go and looked at El, "El... Noone could ever replace you..."
