Chapter 3: First Day At School

El's pov

After watching the movie with will, we went upstairs to our room. Will and I would share one, same with hopper am Joyce of course. Jonathan had his own room.

Will and I layed down on our own beds. There was silence for a few minutes until will spoke. "Hey el, are you asleep?" will whispered. "No" I replied

"Are you nervous about tomorrow's first day at school?" will asked. Tomorrow would be our first day of a new school, it was almost mid the year so we would be the new students in a classroom

"I don't know..."i said honestly. " didn't you always wanted to go to school?" he asked turning on the lights. "I-I did but not like that" I said. "What do you mean?" he asked. "I want it to be with our friends.." I said.

He didn't say anything. "Same.. But.. We have each other right..?"he asked. "yeah of course" I said smiling. He smiled. "Mike told me that.. People bully you at school right?" I asked. He looked down and nodded

I felt bad and sad. "sorry I shouldn't have mentioned-" I said feeling guilty. "no it's okay don't worry" he said. "I'm gonna get bullied too aren't I?" I said after thinking. "I don't know.. People are being so mean for no reason, so.. If they do-let's just-try not to listen to them" he said.

I nodded. I knew he was lying because clearly bullying broke him even though he didn't admit it or show it. "Yeah" I said.

*the next day*

It was the first day.. I got ready and everything and went to school. "hey, don't be nervous guys, it's gonna be okay" Joyce said as she was driving us to school

We didn't say anything. We then arrived at school. There were so many kids in the school yard. I started to feel nervous. "hey are you okay?" will quietly asked me. "yeah-it's just-too many people" I said. "It's okay, let's go hang around somewhere more quiet until the bell rings" he said grabbing my hand and dragged me somewhere to the side of the building where there were a few benches with less people

"How did you know where to go?" I asked. "I just thought it would be better here I don't know" he said. I nodded as we sat down at a bench.

"better?" he asked. I nodded smiling to assure him. Then the bell rang. Will and I looked at each other kind of nervously. "alright it's time to go" he said. I nodded and stood up

Hopper and Joyce told us to go to the principal before to tell us where the class is, give us the program and everything. We nodded and eventually found the classroom

We walked in. We were about 5 minutes late but the principal already told the teacher about us, the new students. My heart was racing fast.

"Oh! Hello kids! Welcome, come in" the teacher said smiling and excitedly. "Hey" will and I said awkwardly. Some students already laughed a little

"okay everyone quiet down please, we've got 2 new students!" the teacher said. "Yeah we noticed" a blonde girl said. "anyways I will ignore this attitude for now" the teacher said. "alright, introduce yourselves!" the teacher told us smiling

Why couldn't we just simply sit down on our chairs without questions. I froze. "My name's will and that's my step sister Jane" will answered for me once he noticed me being nervous even though I could tell he was nervous as well

"doesn't she have a mouth" the blond girl said again. "Angela enough!" the teacher said angrily. I could tell this girl would be a trouble to me.

"where did you come from?" the teacher asked us. "from Hawkins" both will and I said. I didn't want to leave will only to answer even though I was quite nervous, shy and embarrassed. The class had 20 students so I rely very uncomfortable

Of course everyone informed me about that but I didn't want to be a baby and deny it. "That's nice! You may sit on your seats now" the teacher said. Thank god, I thought.

The teacher started teaching as he gave us books as well. Thank god there were two seats next to each other free so will and I could sit next to each other.

"why are you so quiet, tell us more about you" Angela randomly said interrupting the teacher, not really caring. I didn't say anything. She started laughing. "Oh come on, are you scared?!.. Or a nervous, are you a Dyke? Do I make you nervous?" she said laughing 

I didn't even know what that word meant but I knew it wasn't a good one since she was laughing

"Angela enough!" the teacher said noticing me being uncomfortable. "Why would I? You said to make our new classmates feel welcomed, I'm just asking her how she is?" she said. "Stop talking or you'll be sent to the principal" the teacher said.

"okay fine jeez" Angela said. The day went by the same way. Angela kept asking us questions cause she was bored. It was then lunch. "Will" I said. He stopped eating and looked at me waiting to see what I wanted to say

"What does the word dyke and fag mean?" I asked. I heard Angela before saying that before to me and then a couple of boys and Angela as well calling will that. He looked down immediately, gulped. I frowned confused. It was definitely a bad on wasn't it? I thought.

"Oh um it's nothing" he said. His face was red. "Is it bad?" I asked quietly. "It's nothing el" he said kind of annoyed. "alright sorry" I immediately apologised since he was uncomfortable.

Then the bell rang again. I thought school would be fun but all we've gotten far is people laughing at us or mocking us. My short shoulder length hair, I've wanted to have long hair just like every girl.

I've decided to grow my hair. We had a subject called... Biology? It was a weird one not gonna lie. In the middle of the lesson, the girl who was sitting in front of me turned around and leaned on my desk

"hi I'm chloe!" she said smiling getting really close to my face, to talk quietly. I felt myself blush for some reason. She had brown, wavy hair with green eyes

She was really pretty, I thought. "hey" I said nervously. "How are you?" she asked. I thought she would be mean to me since none of the others were so i was sure she would mock me or something

"I'm good" I said. "I'm not gonna make fun of or something, I wanna talk to you" she said smiling putting her hand on top of my hand which was resting on the desk, holding my pen writing notes down

I felt my cheeks burn a little by that to be honest. I thought it was weird, but good weird. "oh that a nice, thanks" I said. She smiled. "Wanna be friends? You can sit with my best friend Jack at lunch if you want, of course with your brother-step brother-whatever same thing" she said slightly laughing at the end. I couldn't help but chuckle a little as well

"Yeah sure, thanks" I said. She smiled widely. I still couldn't fully trust a girl I've just met but it was worth a try I guess. What's the worst that can happen.

I looked over at will, he was alright looking at me confused. "this girl offered to sit with her and her best friend at lunch, you as well" I whispered to him

"did you agree?" he asked. I nodded. "Okay" he said. "is it okay? We don't have to-" I said. "no it's okay! We just have to be careful" he said. "yeah I know" I said smiling, he smiled. Then we continued paying attention in class. At least i tried to. All that was very confusing to me.
