019- stranger things

El was messing with the supercom while the guys were throwing the things they brought onto the table. Lucas bright a wrist wrecker and something else.I sat down on one of the chairs in front of the table. Dustin dumped his bag out and my eyes immediately lit up at all of the snacks that fell out of his bag. Lucas and mike did not look the slightest bit amused. "Seriously?" Lucas asked. "We need energy for our travels, stamina." Dustin said "fine by me" I added with a smile on my face as I grabbed the bag of candy. Dustin smiled sheepishly at me while mike was unfazed. "we don't need weapons we have her" "she shut one door" "with her mind and imagine if tee had superpowers too" Dustin said. Making everyone stop what they were doing and look at me.

"Do you?" Lucas asked suspiciously. "Do I what?" I said dumbly. "Have powers, I mean you have a tattoo like el, y'all came from the same place" "And? We aren't even related and we're a year apart, we hardly ever saw eachother" I said as calmly as I could, the boys seemed taken aback by my words. "Wow that's the most I've heard you say" Dustin said surprised. "Yeah sorry, I have a hard time opening up to people" I then turned silent and went back to eating. The boys didn't bother me anymore after that. Dustin then tried to make el make a toy fly while I kept eating to calm my self. He did it again "idiot" Lucas said referring to Dustin "yeah tell me about it" I said while looking at Dustin then back at the candy. I could feel Lucas soften up around me. He started to trust me.

Then Mrs wheeler (Karen) call Mike and the boys upstairs. "Karen" I said and sighed. "How do you know my moms name?" Mike said looking at me weirdly. Whoops. They're not gonna trust me now. "Your gonna be late for school" I said to him as Karen called him again. Mike looked at me suspiciously. He went to el and told her to meet us out side at 3 1 5. "3:15"I corrected. She looked up at me. "Ugh Jesus Christ they are so annoyingly stupid" I sighed. "Talk well" el said to me "hmm I do?" I asked "yes" she replied. I don't know why she's so jealous. I am the smartest person but I'm good at not showing it. I know every word in the world but to be normal I have to really shorten my vocabulary. "Yeah I kinda do" i said to her. "How?" She asked. I didn't want to tell her all of my powers because I know she'll tell mike. Right now the only power that I have to her is electricity. "Uhm my mom taught me" I said to her. "I'm extremely smart but I don't show it" "extremely" she muttered to herself. I sighed, knowing that El's vocabulary was very limited. To only what papa has said or what she overheard me saying.

El was making Dustin's toy fly when we got bored and went upstairs. We went to the living room and el turned on the tv. She flipped the Chanel to a coke commercial and I could tell she was getting a flash back. I shook her out of it then hugged her. I then turned the tv off to stop it. I was walking around the kitchen as el went to Nancy's room.

A cold feeling ran up my spine.

"Barb."

Is all that popped up in my head. Soon it was 3:15 so I took el outside. She had a flash back. I was about to say something when mike roles in.
"El" he said "are you okay" she nodded. "Hop on, Tee go with Lucas" mike said. Lucas rolled his eyes, why was he so mean. I hopped on and put my arms around his waist. He shivered at the touch and I smiled at his thoughts. I hopped off and the boys started walking there bikes. I walked by Lucas as el and mike walked ahead.

We walked for awoke and I started to get hungry. I almost tripped once but Lucas caught me. I mumbled a quick thanks before I got up again. We made it to a house. El had no Idea what she was doing. He's in the upside down, not the real world. The boys got mad, as she thought they would. Then she heard sirens about half a mile down. "Will" I said while walking up a bit and in front of the street. "Yeah what about him?" Lucas asked right before the ambulance passes. They all gasped and got on the bikes.

We made it and I could already tell that this wasn't going to end well. I didn't know Will well but I saw him, in the upside down. When papa sent me in there as a test. To fight a demogorgan. "It's will" el walked up to mike but he smacked her arm. As much as I wanted to stand up for her, what she did was wrong, she should've known that this would happen. I was too stuck on staring at wills body that the rest of there voices went numb. Lucas snapped me out of it and biked me to mikes house.

I sat next to el as she messed with the super com. A little while there she would get tired so would transfer some of my energy into her. Making her gain consciousness and smile at me. It was staticky which irritated mike. But she continued. She finally channeled him and mike ran over to us. "Will" was all el said.

Dustin and Lucas came over as el tried to channel Will. I couldn't send her my energy with the boys looking at us so timidly. Here and there she would look at me for help but I would just shake my head. "It's Will" mike said. "It's a baby, you tapped into a baba monitor" "that was Will" "no it wasn't" "he was singing last night even tee and el heard him" "oh well If the weirdo's heard him then I guess-" "are you sure it's the right channel" dustin asked "She's channeling him" I spoke up. Everyone looked at me. "Like Professor x" dustin chimed in. I smiled at his stupidness. "Are you actually believing this crap" Lucas said still going at it. "Idk" they kept rambling as el layed her head on my shoulder.

"We have to get el to a stronger radio" mike said. "That's at school, there's no way we're going to get the weirdo in there without anyone noticing" Lucas said. Mike quickly took el upstairs and put makeup on her while Dustin and Lucas looked for clothes for el. I was watching in amusement as they fought and couldn't decide. "Ooh this one, I said as I jumped up and grabbed a blonde wig then put it on. "How do I look" I said sarcastically while smiling cheekily. Dustin smiled back while putting his fist out for me to fist bump him. "Tubular" he said making me laugh. "Are you going with us" Lucas asked me. " uhm i don't kno-" I barely got out before Dustin grabbed my jeans then pushed me upstairs towards mike who sat me down and did my makeup then left. I wore a matching blue dress to the dress that el wore I changed and me and el walked out at the same time. Everyone's eyes lit up. "Waoh" "you look-" Lucas barely got out as mike cut him off. "Pretty... Good.. pretty good" he corrected himself. Me and el walked up to the mirror and I smiled while watching el look at her reflection. Then she frowned. "Pretty" she said while pointing at me. "El... your pretty" I said while smiling at her. "Now let's go find will" I said to her as I grabbed her hand and walked her downstairs.

I blocked out the guys thoughts because I just really didn't want to know. I hopped on the back of Lucas's bike and put my arms around his waist. We got to the school and went to the door they were talking about. "It's locked" mike said "think you can open it.. with your powers" dustin asked el. Just as she was about to answer a teacher walked up to us. I backed up and was now standing next to Lucas and mike.

"Well I don't believe I've met you too, what's your names?" He asked me and el. "Ele-" "Eleanor" "my cousin" mike added. "Oh and this is Tiana" "mikes other cousin" "they're hear for support"

"Where are y'all from exactly" he asked us. "Bad place" el muttered.
"Swedin" "I have lots of Swedish family" "she hates it there" "same for tiana"
"Trevligt att träffas" (nice to meet you) I said to the teacher which made the boys all look at me with shock.

I'm so screwed.

"Ok well..shall we" the teacher said. We walked into the gym and as I was in front all eyes landed on me. "Great" i muttered to myself. I sat at the end, next to Lucas. I heard laugh behind me and I quickly turned. "Troy Walsh and James Dante" I whispered. "How did you know that?" Oh shit. I didn't turn around I just kept looking at the 'mouth breathers'.  "Tee..." Lucas said making me turn around. "Yeah?" I asked him. "How did you know that?" "Know what?" "There is something seriously wrong with you and I'm gonna find out" he said. I just looked at him 'confused'.

"Hey Troy" mike called. Oh shit.
"You think this is funny"
"Grief shows itself in funny ways" Ugh Im already over them. They were about to walk away when mike shoved Troy to the ground. He was about to run after him when he stopped. I already knew who was doing it. I smiled to myself as I watched Troy slowly pea himself. Till I felt Someone grab my arm. "Come on we have to go" it was Lucas. "Coming" i answered.
