JULIE SAT IN HER ROOM she was going through old notes, Eleven was sat in the living room watching tv as she usually did, Julie just stayed to herself, either drawing, watching tv with El or listening to music.
Today was the day before Halloween. Last year she would've been going out with Troy and James but luckily for her she didn't have to this year, she wished she could've went with The Party for Halloween, she always wondered if they thought about her—or even missed her. She knew Mike did but she wasn't sure about the rest.
She was chewing on the back of her pencil until a voice interrupted her thoughts, "Hey, Julie—Uh it's Mike, I know you're probably not even listening to this. It's day 352, 7:20pm, my parents are making me throw away stuff for charity and there's these new girls in our class, their names are Max and Roxi, they're sisters, Lucas and Dustin think they're cool. I mean they are cool, but not as cool as you, no one can be as cool as you...I miss you, a lot....this is stupid you aren't even there." he ranted. "But if you are, please...just give me a sign. I won't even say anything. I just wanna know you're okay."
Julie frowned, everyday for the past three hundred and fifty two days, Mike has been talking to her through his walkie talkie. She wishes she could reply but she can't for Eleven's sake. She felt her heart break every time he called himself stupid for wanting to know if she was okay.
Meanwhile with Mike, his attitude had been getting worse, he walked away after trying to speak with Julie until suddenly his walkie crackled. He turned back and ran towards it, his hopes through the roof.
"Hello..hello...Is that you?" he said frantically.
"Yeah, it's me. Dustin, what're you doing on this channel again?" Dustin said through his walkie confused.
Mike's hopes immediately crashed. He sighed in defeat, maybe Julie and Eleven really were gone?
"I've been trying to reach you all day. We were right. Max is MadMax." he continued.
"Yeah, I'm busy." Mike sighed and cut him off by pulling down the antenna to his walkie.
Eleven barged into Julie's room.
"What?" Julie sat up, she got startled from the door opening. She rubbed her eyes and looked at Eleven.
"Eight-one-five." Eleven muttered. "He's still not here."
Eleven's vocabulary had been getting better. From books, the television, Julie and Hopper. Julie still had to teach her how to read a watch properly.
"He'll be here, he's just late." she got up, they both went through to Eleven's room. They were trying to help strengthen her powers to see where people were without the bath.
Julie placed herself on El's bed. "Okay-" Julie was cut off by synchronised knocking on the door, she smiled and turned her head. "See, told you." she snarled, sticking her tongue out.
