Lime Eyes - Eleven Hopper + Max Mayfield

Chapter 12: Snowball

ONE MONTH LATER

December 21, 1984

LILIANA

Phew, I'm just here sitting in the bed. Preparing for my dress to the snowball. I'm asked to choose between a sunflower dress that my sister wore back in her Snow Ball. Or the red dress that I bought a year ago, to join some business trip that my parents brought me in.

A lot has changed for the better. Hawkins Lab, now it's officially closed. Coming with the help of someone Nancy knows, the recordings coming from the lab were copied and delivered to large news publishers.

This forced to shut down and leave. No more experiments at all. And for Eleven.

Hopper adopted her with the help from someone. Now she is legally Jane Hopper. I found that out recently, till then I am happy he finally adopted El.

Max.

Lili, don't talk about Maxine. You are not in love with her.

She is safe, Billy seems not bothering any of us since the fight at the Byers'. But I have to protect her from Billy at all costs.

But to tell you everyone, I am not falling for her. Eleven is my only love, Not Max.

Tory is also dressing up for the snowball. And Steve will be the one driving us to the Snowball. I am finishing putting my makeup on and then checked the mirror.

It's me, prettier than the last time. I chose the red dress, covered by my light makeup. And chose a pair of black shoes, no heels attached. Because I am like tall enough for a teenage girl.

Tory opens the door and I look back. She is wearing a green dress, cotton gloves and red lipstick. Wearing black socks on her heels and laced shoes.

"Hey, you ready for your date?"

She asks.

"Yeah, I'm ready, how about you?"

I asked her, Tory doesn't respond. She remains quiet, keeps on smiling. And then tells me this.

"Can I tell you something?"

I nod and then she comes over. Before she can say, a knock is overhead.

"Girls, you ready? We have to pick up Dustin!"

He yells and we walk out of my room, Steve is just in casual clothes. He is not attending the Snow Ball like anybody. Tory is there to help the staff in charge of the event. I am there to get El.

"Come on! We will be late. Dustin is angry right now for sure,"

He says and we walk out of the house, we get all the lights and doors closed. By Steve finally locks the front door.

We get inside the car and Steve drives off the house. We wait till we get to the Henderson house, I watch the front door waiting.

Dustin is finally getting his date night this time. He or Lucas can have Max, Mike can have Charlotte though they are frenemies. While Will and Ellla, they can have their own. I don't know who will it be, better if they're lucky.
