Can't Help Falling In Love. ~ A Mileven Fanfiction. {COMPLETED}

Part Fifteen:- Max.

°°°

A few days after Eleven was released from the hospital and resting at home, she finally was able to attend school again.
But had gotten a back brace, neck brace and casts around both her wrists, only her legs being able to actually move.

Thankfully, instead of 6 weeks with the braces and casts El only had to have them for 3, only because there wasn't too much damage made.

"Bye mom,", the young girl said as she was about to leave for school.

"Bye, honey!", yelled Joyce from the kitchen before letting her daughter out the door, her brother helping her.

As Eleven walked into school, everyone looked and stared, but in a more sorrowful way, some even quickly signing her casts or handing her 'Get Well Soon!' cards.

El stiffly walked her way to her locker trying to get the code in, but realising she couldn't with her broken wrists.

"Need help with that?", said the familiar voice of Mike Wheeler, with a mysterious red-headed girl beside him.

"Yes, please.", replied El. "Hi, I'm Jane, but you can call me El,", she said placing her hand out for the girl to shake, which she did.

"I'm Max.", she replied.

"What's your password?", asked Michael.

"2747."

"There you go."

"Thanks.", said Eleven as she saw Max take a look at her braces and casts. "Car accident."

"Oh, I'm sorry, I know it's rude to stare."

"It's fine, I'm only going to need this for 3 weeks."

"I'm giving Max a tour of the school, so see you at lunch?"

"See you at lunch."

"So, why is El short for Jane?", asked Max, not wanting to ask Eleven herself since she didn't want to seem so nosey.

"I don't know, it just is."

"How did you two meet? Are you like.. together?"

"No, no, we are not a couple, just friends. And her brother is one of my good friends."

"Well, do you like her?"

"No, like I said we're just friends.", replied Michael, Max giving a silent cheer since she was developing a little crush on Mike.
But he was lying.

"She's pretty."

"Yeah, she is."

"Does she like you?"

"Why do you want to know all this stuff?"

"Your right, sorry I just get a little too nosey with people sometimes."

"It's fine, I do that sometimes too.", admitted the 16-year-old boy. "So, my friends, El and I are hanging out after school, do you want to join us?"

"Oh no, I don't want to ruin your fun."

"Come on, you won't."

"...Okay,"

"Great! It'll be fun, I promise."
