It's 7am in the morning. My alarm wakes me up. I get up, brush my teeth, take a shower, put on my clothes and brush my hair. I meet my dad who's getting ready for work. He's a chief, Chief Hopper. I eat my breakfast and I go to my 'office'. It's next to my house.

My life is pretty boring, it's always the same thing everyday. I play piano for hours, then I do some school stuff and then I play again for hours. Recently I tried to convince my dad to let me play guitar. He agreed after a long time asking. Finally my life is getting different in a way. But I need to do one thing first. I need to win a piano contest. If I don't win I need to wait another year.

I'm pretty confident about winning. I play the piano since I was just a little kid. I'm a real calm person so the public isn't going to stress me out. If I don't win this I'm just gonna run away, I'm so done with this.

My office doesn't have much privacy. The side that's on the street is one big window. I sit with my back to the streets, I know there are always people watching. Hop says it's gonna give me a headstart on the contest if people already saw and heard me. I just don't get it why he wants me to do this so bad. I just want to go to school, have a normal life.

Just think about it. Waking up, being alone in your office for hours and hours without seeing anyone. And when you come back home seeing your food on the table and just go to bed without talking to anyone. Yup, that's my life.

Hopper always starts early in the morning. Mostly I see him in the morning but we don't talk that much. At night I don't see him. I'm most of the time asleep when he gets home. You probably ask yourself 'where does the food come from' It's from my cook, she comes in the afternoon. I warm the food myself. I don't usually watch TV.

Life is kinda hard without socialising. I used to have a friend. Will Byers, he's the sweetest kid ever. His mom Joyce used to date Hopper. I don't know why I don't see them anymore, Hop and Joyce probably broke up or something. I talked to him every single day. I miss those days. The last time I talked to him was almost 2 years ago.

I want to write a new song but I don't have any inspiration. Will used to tell me everything about his life, feelings. I always got my inspiration from his life.

'ughhh' I say when my alarm goes. I set it off and stare at the ceiling for the first 10 minutes. I finally get up, and go into the shower. I put my clothes on, brush my hair and brush my teeth. There isn't any food at home for the morning so I take my skateboard and go to school. I left the house later then always, a lot later.

I was already to late so I didn't hurry to school. While I was skating I got distracted by a sound. I always go this way and never heard this. It knew it was the sound of a piano, I don't usually hear it around. I looked inside the building and there was a girl behind it. I couldn't see her face because she sat with her back to the street. While looking I bumped into a boy and we both fell on the ground.

I was playing a song when I heard the sound of someone skating. I'm Hawkins I never saw someone skating, it's been years since I heard someone skating. I didn't look behind me, I was playing.

I suddenly heard a kinda loud bong. I looked behind and saw a girl right on top of the back of a boy. They both layed on the ground. The girl has red hair, never saw this, but she looked pretty. She was wearing a red jacket and some pretty loose jeans. The boy was a white boy with black hair. He was wearing black short and a dark blue/back shirt with yellow and blue on it.

I was peacefully walking to school. I was already to late so I didn't hurry myself. I was just walking when suddenly someone fell right on my back. The skateboard hit my ankles, and it hurts so bad. The girl immediately started apologizing. I turned around and faced to girl still laying on ground. I leaned back on my elbows.

My eyes widened when I realised how close the girl was. The girl tried to get up but somehow my belt got stuck into her red jacket.

'Oh uh.. don't apologise it's noting' I tried. The girl smiled at me and tried to get back up. 'Here, take my hands' I said as I offered my hands. She took them and together we got up. We were inches away from eachother because my belt got stuck.

'I'm sorry' I say. 'No I am, I wasn't watching where I was going' she answered. I smiled at her and tried to get my belt away. The girl took her jacket off. She quickly took a few steps behind. 'Do you have a scissors' I ask the girl. 'uh yes I have' she answered while she looks for them. She gave the scissors to me and I was about to cut my belt. 'Hey! Don't cut your belt!' the girl said as she layed her hand on mine.

I quickly looked up at her with a confused look. She took her hand back and snapped the scissors out my hands. 'Don't worry about, I'll just ask my mom to buy me a new one' I say calmly. 'No please don't cut your belt, I bumped into you, cut the jacket' she says. 'No, it's just a belt and for you it's a whole jacket' 'C'mon we both know your belt is expensiver then my stupid jacket' the girl says sad and annoyed at the same time. Just a few seconds after she cut the zipper of her jacket. It didn't come off so she ripped it and her jacket basically ripped apart.

'here you go' the girl sigh's. I felt really bad for her.

There goes my favorite jacket. 'Do you wanna walk to school together' the boy asked me. 'Oh uh no, I.. I need to find my skateboard first, you can go maybe I'll catch you later'..The boy nods, smiles and walks away.

Wow, she just cuts her jacket. She 100% inlove with that boy. Love at first sight. I can write something about that. I smile at myself and was planning to write but I saw the girl looking for something with a worried look. She already ripped her jacket and now she lost something..I felt really bad, and now is finally my change to talk to someone. I walk out and ask what she's looking for.

'oh uh.. just.. just my skateboard' she stutters. 'It probably landed in my backyard' I smile. I opened the gate and the girl walked in. She layed her jacket on the table and start looking. I helped looking and after a few minutes she found it.

'Got it!' she shoutes. 'Thank you so much, uhm?' 'Eleven, but you can call me El' I say. The girl just gave me a small awkward smile and skated away. She was probably late for school or something. I was about to close the gate when I noticed the girl' jacket. I took it but the girl was already out of sight. I took it inside with me, there wasn't much damage, but there was to much damage to wear it. I had free time so I decided to spend it useful.

I walked into school but the girl wasn't nearby. I sigh and walk into school. Maybe she took a different way or something. I walk into class and all the eyes turn to me. 'Michael Wheeler, late again. That's the third time this week. That's detention for you Wheeler' the teacher says. I gave him a disgust look and took the paper. He gave me a grin and went back to teaching.

'You're later then usual' my friend Lucas says.

'A girl bumped into me' I say

'Oehh a girllll' Lucas mocked.

'Shut up little kid'

'Does she go to this school?' my other friend Dustin asks.

'I think so, but idk. I went alone to school, she lost her skateboard and I didn't really got the feeling she wanted me there'

'Ohhh are you gonna cry, did your girlfriend left you. Whee Whee' Lucas mocked again

I gave him a hard punch on his arm which he returned. I gave him a punch back so did he and it went on for a few seconds. 'LUCAS, MIKE DETENTION' the teacher shoutes. He's so annoying.

I walked into school and didn't saw the not anywhere. He probably went to a different school, otherwise I would've catched up. I walk in class and sit at the back like always. I wasn't paying any attention to class, it's so boring. I look at my side and saw a boy staring at me.

'What are you looking at dickhead' I say, the teacher heard and was mad. 'Detention Maxine' 'It's Max asshole' The teacher widened his eyes and was raging mad. He was shouting thing but I didn't listen, I looked outside the window thinking about the girl.
