"No, nope, definitely not!" The only redhead in the group said placing her hands on the desk in front of her; Max was shocked. "This is unbelievable Dustin." Lucas spoke shaking his head in disbelief. "so what you're telling me is that you found another baby demo dog and you brought it to school?" Mike asked as he rolled his eyes at the boy. Dustin nodded his head, upset at his friend's reaction. "It's okay though" he said trying calm his friends, "dart Jr. is completely different. He likes the cold!" The curly head boy said, using his hands to express his excitement in the creature.
El stood next to Will, she wasn't completely understanding what was happening. The whole conversation confused her entirly. "I thought I shut the gate?" The petite girl finally spoke. "This would explain why I haven't been feeling so good" Will added, admitting he was concerned like the rest of his friends. "Show it to me." he added walking closer to Dustin. He nodded in return. "Okay he's in my locker," He replied. Signalling his friend to walk with him, exiting the Av room.
As the four boys and two girls made their way to Dustin's locker, max scoffed. "What's up your ass?" Mike asked playfully shutting and locking the door behind them all. Max stopped and waited for him shaking her head as the rest of them continued to walk. "I just don't want to go through this shit again" she replied as they began to walk together. Mike looked at her and frowned slightly "I don't really think any of us do, it just something we do for Will and El" he explained still looking at her. Placing his hand on her shoulder, giving it a small squeeze in order to reassure the girl.
In that moment Max felt the bond she had with Mike. He cared about her. The Girl smiled to herself a slight, realising that, that was all she wanted. For the both of them to be friends and get along. She wanted him to want her as their Zoomer.
When the pair had made it to Dustin's locker they gathered around, blending in with the rest of the group. When doing so, they noticed the locker door. It looked as if it had be eaten away in the left corner, the metal somewhat lifting up at the edges. Dustin opened it slowly and shook his head, "look for dart 2.0?" he joked nervously, looking into the empty locker. Will shook his head in disappointment.
"Let's start looking after school" he spoke softly, rubbing his neck. They all nodded in agreement and sighed, "Okay let's split off into pairs after school" Lucas suggested with a smile in Max's direction. "Yeah that sounds good" Will said, nodding his head slightly. "Okay. El you're with me, Will with Lucas and Max with Mike" Dustin said before an annoyed Mike butted in.
"Not happening, I'm with El!" The raven haired boy spat. "No because if you're with El you'll get distracted and just want to kiss her face the whole time. This is serious mike!" Dustin explained, making everyone in the group nod and whisper 'he's not wrong'. "Whatever. I have a class to get too." Mike said in an annoyed tone walking off.
Mike didn't know how to feel, the boy was conflicted. Part of him loved the fact that he was getting a chance to spend time with Max, but the other part was scared he would do something stupid. The last thing he wanted to do was embarrass himself in front of her or have her find out how he really felt.
The final bell of the day rang signally: if you were staying for club meetings or extra library time that you could start to make your way, Mike came out of the art room with an annoyed look still plastered on his face. A small girl followed not fair behind him, El. She smiled as she walked faster to catch up to him, Mike rolled his eyes at the girl.
"Did I do something?' she asked picking at her nails, "nope." Was all the boy responded with as he continued to make his way to Dustin's locker. "Then why did you roll your eyes?" She questioned him again. Mikes eyes shifted when what left her mouth hit him, he cursed at himself under his breath as he realised he actually did that. "I'm not mad at you El, I promise." He said reassuring the girl.
Mike felt his heart drop, 'as if I just did that to El'. He thought to himself shaking his head slightly. 'was this it? was he loosing all the feelings he had left for her?' He thought once more, before reaching Dustins locker.
Everyone was now there except for Lucas and Max. Mike rolled his eyes as he noticed the two walking towards the group hand in hand. As they joined the circle the rest of them had made, Mike scoffed. "Are you okay?" El asked rubbing the boys back softly, the raven haired boy nodded not saying a word. Keeping his eyes fixed on the redheaded girl across from him.
After brief conversation on what group would look where, they all decided to split off in the pairs they had picked before. Will and Dustin headed to the Doors looking around outside. El and Lucas had the front end of the school so they headed off, to start weaving in and out of class rooms."Looks like it's just me and you Wheeler" the girl chuckled, making her way to the end of the school. Mike shook his head, following behind the red head.
They searched the library and a couple of class rooms before finding themselves in the gym, a small scoff left Max's mouth. "What?" Mike asked turning towards the girl, focusing on her futures as she talk once more. "Nothing, it's just this gives me major Déjà vu" she said with a light chuckle. "Yeah I recall me calling you annoying right in this very spot" he responded with a small smile, sending them both into a giggling fit.
"You know you don't have to act rude towards me in front of your friend's right?" she questioned, getting a slight confused look back from the boy. "What do you mean?" he shook his head not understanding what she had said. "You put on an act, that you don't like me. That you hate me." She said giving Mike a look that consisted of sad eyes and a slightly pouted lip. "But you don't hate me Mike Wheeler, you don't even know me." She shook her head.
A small smile crept onto the boy face as he chuckled softly, shaking his head also. "Major Déjà vu" Mike responded, getting the girl to smile as she spoke, "you're an idiot." Without noticing the pair had gotten awfully close together, Max being a little shorter than the boy made her look up slightly. Mike inched himself closer to the girl, the same smile plastered on his face.
Max felt her face begin to warm up, a small blush danced over cheeks. The two had gotten lost in the moment. Although no words were exchanged, they knew what the other was feeling. This caused a very happy Mike Wheeler, as this gave him the validation that he wasn't the only one that felt the way he did towards the other person in the room.
"Guys they found dart Jr." said Lucas running towards the two, El quickly following behind. Just like that, the moment the two had created, ruined. Mike sighed as he looked over to his friend, Max returning the same sigh as she watched the boy break eye contact. "Are you guys okay?" El spoke softly, slightly out of breathe from running. The redhead smiled sweetly, faking it of course. "Yeah..." Max said with a nod. Mike finished her sentence with the same fake smile. "Just... great."
