(Mikes POV)
I talked to Nancy for quite awhile. Maybe this is why my day felt so important. Me and Nancy had a really, well...rather interesting talk. She talked about all her boyfriend crap and I talked about well, El. She told me that El had to feel the same way. And that if she didn't she wouldn't have sacrificed herself for us.
"So, Mike?", Nancy stopped me from leaving.
"Yeah?"
"How was the first kiss? Or was it not your first...?", She giggled.
"Shut up!", I joked. "It was, well...I'm not really sure. It's just, I don't know how it's supposed to feel."
"Well, that's fine. But did you enjoy it? Like, did you like kissing El?"
This was getting awkward. "I have to go..."
"Uh.. okay. Bye."
I'm not quite sure why she was asking me all of those weird questions, but I'm sure once I get older, maybe I'll understand. I walked down to my basement, just to sit for a minute and decide what I'm gonna do. I didn't want to waste my weekend. I sat and thought. I thought about the other night. When I came in contact with her. El. How it was going in and out, how the cold, crisp air filled the room. It felt like suddenly I was a part of this "world". It felt like I was with her. Even though I didn't fully understand everything she said, I felt her. Thinking about Eleven made me determined to find her. I knew it wasn't going to happen, but hey, there's still hope out there. Plus it will give me something to do with my spare time. I wouldn't be hanging out with Dustin and Lucas, but they both had family plans. Will was still resting, so he couldn't hang out either. I grabbed my thick coat and set out on an adventure. I grabbed my bike. Here goes nothing.
