1978
MAGGIE CAME TO Hawkins Elementary School a few days after the school year started. She was busy moving states to attend the first few days. She was back in her hometown, something completely different from the New York life she had gotten accustomed to. Her dad had instantly gotten the position of Chief of Police at the Hawkins Police Department due to his time there and his time in the NYPD.
Word spread quickly in the small town of Hawkins that Jim Hopper was now returning as the Chief and his Americana daughter would be attending school there. It was either because they wanted their kids to be safe or they wanted to boost their reputation, but parents always encouraged their kids to befriend the Hopper girl. And the kids were wanting to go along with it because who wouldn't want to be friends with the girl who sang 'My Bologna has a First Name' in the Oscar Mayer commercial, or was in Campbell's Soup commercials. In the kids eyes, Maggie Hopper was a movie star.
Rumors began to spread because of Maggie's life in New York. Like that she was friends with Jane Birkin's kids, or that Liza Minnelli would babysit her when her parents were working. But the parents were much different. They constantly empathized for the Hoppers, always stating that Sara was in a better place.
Maggie wished her life was like how the kids rumored it to be. But it was far from being that glamorous.
When Maggie left the school after the final bell, her peers followed her to the pick up loop. They were asking about the things she saw and experienced in New York, or stories about her dad saving lives. The young blonde remained silent as she walked to the brown colored SUV with red and blue lights on the top. Her dad's new patrol car.
He flashed the lights and sirens for a second, hoping to take the stressed look off his daughter's face she didn't even know she was wearing. The kids around her yelped in excitement while Maggie threw herself into the backseat, her face bright red.
"You don't like the sirens?" Jim looked back at his daughter through the rear view mirror. She was looking at the kids through the window, slightly hiding herself behind the door.
"Uh," she hummed as she observed the kids outside, cheering for the Chief to sound the sirens again. "It was fun."
