"You are like Papa!" June hears El yelling through the cabin door, just as she's about to go in.
"Really? I'm like that psychotic son of a-" His sentence is cut short when he hears June coming through the front door. Hopper takes a moment to stare at June, seeing her clothes and hair covered in pink, blue, yellow and white paint. Still, he pushes aside the thought and focuses on his bigger problem-the kid.
"What's going on?! Why are you guys yelling?" June asks, furrowing her brow in confusion.
"This girl here-" Hopper points at El, "-decided to go out in the morning alone to see her little boyfriend, Mike. He didn't see her but someone else did!"
"Nobody else saw me!" Eleven yells through gritted teeth.
"That doesn't matter anymore because you're grounded. I did not change my mind!"
"Dad-" June tries to interfere.
"Don't." Hopper interrupts her, raising his palm.
Eleven runs to her shared room and slams the door shut.
"Open the door!" Hopper yells while pounding on the door.
"Open it, El!" He shouts.
Eleven has enough and suddenly screams, shattering all the glass in the cabin. This makes Hopper even angrier, banging on the door and shouting repetitively, "Hey! Open this goddamn door!"
With no response from the girl, June decides to say something. "Just leave her be. She's not going to budge right now." June places a hand on her father's shoulder.
"I mean, I don't get it, what's wrong with this kid?" He mumbles after a long moment of thought.
"You just answered your own question. She's a kid, Dad, you can't expect her to act so maturely." June tries to reassure him.
"Whatever. I'm going to bed, tell her to clean this mess up by morning." He walks away and off to his room.
June knocks on her sister's shared room quietly. "Hey, El, can you let me in? I can't sleep with my clothes like this. They're all messy."
El unlocks the door with her telekinesis, with tears in her eyes and head buried in her bedsheets.
June changes her clothes and walks over to her sister. "Do you want to talk?" She asks her sister, sympathetically. Nevertheless, her sister shakes her head no and uses her blanket to cover her.
"Well, if you want to, I'll be here. I mean after I take a shower, my hair is covered in paint." She speaks awkwardly and walks away to shower.
The night ended in pure silence in the cabin. Not one word was spoken. Yet everyone was awake, thinking about their own things, but they all shared the thought of the fight, although everyone had different prespectives.

June woke up due to her dad hammering the windows with logs. She got up and changed. Hopper told Eleven to have the place cleaned by the time he comes back. That is if he comes back.
June left her home and went off to school. She ran into Michelle and they both walked to Gym class together. But she noticed that neither Jonathan nor Nancy were at school. That is odd.
"So, how are things going?" Michelle asked.
"Oh everything's fine, thanks." June paused. "You know, me and Harrington sort of made up." She spoke up again.
"Oh! Really?" Michelle exclaimed, smirking. "How did that go?"
"He apologized yesterday. I didn't give him much of an answer, though." She sighed. "I still don't consider him a friend-friend. Just... An aquaintance?" She rambled.
"Uh huh..." Michelle narrowed her eyes. "Okay, whatever you want to call it, June." Michelle grinned.
"Oh, don't look at me like that! It's nothi-"
Michelle interrupted her. "Did I say it was anything? You're the one accusing me!" She chuckled.
"All right, fine." June rolled her eyes, slightly smiling.
The duo watched Steve's team play basketball versus Billy's. Billy was being his usual, annoying, self even while playing the game. It was ridiculous, June thought. Because of his unnecessary, distracting comments, Steve's team had lost. It was like Billy was taking over. As much as June hated to admit, she liked it better when Steve was the popular one, not Billy.
"Ugh, this is annoying." June rolled her eyes.
"Honestly. Billy really makes my stomach hurt. And why is he shirtless?! I don't even want to see that!" Michelle exclaimed and June nodded her head in agreement.
They both disliked him, but maybe June just really despised that guy. She couldn't even look at him without wanting to barf. Her thoughts were cut off by seeing him trip Steve.
"What is this guy's problem?! Just play fairly, man!" She yelled the last part out loud, and quickly turned her body to face away from the basketball court.
The boys looked at her like she'd said something in a foreign language. She hadn't meant to yell it.
However, Steve's expression softened at her statement. Even while on the ground. He stared at June for a moment but quickly looked away when Billy said something to him.
"Geez, calm down. You got a thing for Harrington or what?" Michelle raised a brow in suspicion.
"Okay, will you stop thinking that? I don't like him, I just think Billy's playing so unfairly." June turned around, slightly annoyed.
"Fine, fine. I'll stop." Michelle said.
