✓ Wake Up, Mike ⇔ Mileven {1st - "Wake Up, Mike" Trilogy}

Forty

Mike.

It's Friday...tonight is the Snowball.

I can't focus in class, I can't focus on anything. I'm just worried about how things will turn out. What if she doesn't have fun? What if she gets too uncomfortable?

She seemed rather nervous, too, considering she wasn't talking much and had those eyes. She was in deep thought and thinking of the worst possible outcomes, which kinda hurt to see. I hope she knows that it will be perfect as long as we're together.

Dustin looked rather happy, though, as he discussed plans with Max. She still gives me a really weird feeling, but I'm ignoring it for now. I don't want to ruin his night just because she gives me a weird vibe. If he's happy, I shouldn't ruin that for him.

Hopper.

I was out, searching the woods for Erin. I'm alone, which I know isn't a good thing, but I'm the only one that truly knows what happened. I know I'm approaching Hawkins Lab, and I'm nervous, but I have to check. There could easily be some kind of clue around.

I walked closer, but I was slow. I didn't want anyone to see me, it wouldn't end well. I got closer, though, and a really loud siren started going off. It scared me half to death, I obviously wasn't expecting it.

The siren went on for less than a minute before it was shut off. I stood by, kind of hidden, and soon saw a bunch of guys walk out and get in their vans. I started to walk forward, ready to catch up and stop them. But they sped away before I could.

This is bad, this is really bad.

...one more...

Currently writing the final chapter to my story and getting very emotional...I love this story and the weird community it's built. I uploaded the first chapter expecting like 200 reads tops and we just hit 6,000. It blows my mind.
I want to congratulate all of YOU, not me. If it wasn't for you, I would've lost interest in this story. You kept me wanting to update and you get my creative juices flowing.
My story hit 6k today, but we all produced this story.
A special thanks to the Stranger Squad on Instagram for helping me think of ideas! You're all amazing.
And a special SPECIAL thanks to kkstrangerthings who was my first supporter. destinyy011 who literally screams whenever I update and reminds me that I'm doing well constantly. And cece_is_savage who reminds me that I deserve it and that I have a chance at becoming an author. Thank you all so much for inspiring me to write, because we all just got 6,000 readers. And I know it's going to keep growing, which just blows my mind.
I love each and every one of you and I promise this is not the end. Mike, Eleven, Will, Lucas, Dustin, Max, Nancy, Jonathan, Steve, Hop, Joyce, and Erin are not done. They have MANY adventures ahead. Many adventures with many new people.💝💝

(Edit on April 13, 2017- I'm crying omg all of this is still so true. I love you all from the bottom of my heart♥️)

edit on December 16, 2018: Still true to this day(most of it), you all are the reason I ever wrote this story. Every time I see a new vote or comment pop up, I'm flooded with warmth and joy and happiness. Because of all of you.
I'm currently at 150,000 reads and that will forever blow my mind. I love you all from the very deepest part of my heart. Thank you for making a small dream of mine come true♥️

edit on May 6, 2019: Wow most of that's still very true. Although this story has died out, and no one really cares about it anymore, I'm still beyond thankful. Everything that I gained from this trilogy has helped make me the person I am today, and I cannot thank you all enough. Even if I'm sad that everything has come to an end, I'm still thankful. This story is still so important in my heart, and I think about it a lot. There's so many things I wish I could tell you guys !! Like I wish I could do a live on Instagram where I talk about little details, but no one would watch it. *sigh*
Anyway ily all♥️
