just a bit of backstory for Elizabeth and Eddie's story

Elizabeths POV:

9/5/83

It was first day of high school my dad wished us luck before me and eddie started walking to school. When me and Eddie first go into school as soon as the attendance had been taken the headteacher came to 'borrow me' and took me out of my first class. just to add some context i was a sophomore in high school and Eddie was a junior

We got pulled out by the headteacher of the school Mrs Jamey and sat down in her office for a while I was so worried and convinced it was something to do with me I didn't even think about any of my family. Our dad had walked in about 15 minutes after we got taken out , he looked like shit. He told us that our mother had taken a fall this morning and she didn't make it .My heart shattered I was so close to my mum way closer than I ever was with my dad and then before I knew it he told us we would be moving to Hawkins again. I was even more upset now I'l have to leave the people I've finally made friends with here to then have to make new friends in the same place i grew up in for 5 years and then taken back there , god I hope some people have left.

Me and Eddie go to go home and pack our stuff we were in tears as we were hauling all of our belongings into boxes. We were told by our dad we would be staying with uncle Wayne for a while while he gets back on his feet (which never happened).

9/18/84

About a year goes by ,by now me and Eddie have settled into our new home with Wayne and we attend Hawkins High . One September morning Wayne got a letter saying our dad had unfortunately committed suicide me , I was sad of course but part of me felt almost relieved? No no i was upset, however Eddie was a complete wreck and thats when he started doing drugs and drug dealing. Meanwhile I noticed some strange things happening in Hawkins the other night i swear i saw a dark figure looming over the trailer i ignored it thinking how i had just watched to many horror movies ,who was going to believe i saw a figure with no face?

9/21/84

My first day of high school being the new kid again. My first class was maths ,great. I hated school always did according to my dad even when i was in nursery i didn't want to go anyway maths first just sucks. However it wasn't actually that bad. today i got to sit next to this beautiful girl wait beautiful what am i saying? Anyway her name was Robin Buckley she was kind and gave me a pencil case of all the things i would need for the day even though she didn't need to i think the principal had told her too. I had history next with... Miss Click same as Robin so we walked together to the class. The rest of the day was boring. When i got home i had learnt that Eddie had joined a band Corroded Coffin it's nice to think he made some friends instead of being alone all the time. So many people came up to me that day asking me where i was from though that was the worst part being called 'new kid' everyone else knew each other and i was just there i was a total outcast to all of them, i also met a boy named Steve Harrington he was alright I guess he had a girlfriend .Nancy Wheeler. She was kind and nice to me but she seemed really out of place i sat with those two at lunch.

Fast forward to the present day:

7/28/85

It was the last day before summer break when i heard Eddie scream in my ear
"LIZZ GETTT UPPP!!!"           

"I'm up jeez" I replied still half asleep and half awake

"come on we're going to be latttteeee!"he wined through the door

"JUST GIVE ME 5 MINUTES!" i screamed back at him letting him know i was up he did this every morning to check that i actually wake up and don't just sleep in. So i slid out of bed and put on a Metalica T-shirt (that wasn't mine) and some baggy jeans.

as soon as i got into the van he asked 
"Is that my T-shirt Liz"?
"Yes it is what are you going to do about it"i said in an angry tone today just wasn't really my day so far.
"OK jeez i was just asking" he said

the rest of the journey was just us listening to our mixed tape we had made a couple years ago. As we arrived at school we said our goodbyes and went our separate ways, me joining my group of friends, Eddie joining his friends.We met back up at his van at the end of school.I was excited for summer break I needed it to say the least. That said when we got home I thought i would go job hunting to get us a bit more cash for the summer  Eddie had a "thing" to do which I knew was dealing which i let slide it got us money you know as long as he didn't get caught I'm fine with it so I hopped on my bike with my walkman playing loudly in my ears 'take a chance'  by ABBA. ABBA was a favourite of our mums she gave me all of her old tapes of it so regularly had one in my walkman anyway i biked all the way to StarCourt Mall looking for posters that said jobs wanted. I couldn't find any in retail so i eventually gave in and had a look in the food court and i saw one on an ice cream parlour 'Scoops Ahoy'  I immediately walked in asked the manager for an interview to which she said yes she seemed very happy to be there(for some reason) even though i knew this really wasn't my cup of tea i still knew it was some money for our home.

When i got home it was around about 6.30pm Wayne doesn't get back till around 11pm on week days and i assume Eddie won't be back for a while so i decide to chill out and enjoy my own company for a couple hours I couldn't actually believe I was able to land a job interview , thats awesome!
