Eleven's POV

When Mike left, Hopper lectured me about how we were still not permitted to see each other. I nodded along, not really listening. I knew I was still going to date Mike regardless of what my dad said.

He eventually let me go and I went straight to my room. I grabbed my phone and laid on my bed. I had a few text messages.

Mike: hey el
Mike: text me when you get these
Mike: btw im glad you're back lol

He's so sweet.

Eleven: hey mike
Mike: how are ya
Eleven: fine lol. hop lectured me again

Mike: screw hop. ily and im gonna date you.
Eleven: aww you're so sweet mike. anyway what did you need?
Mike: do you like max?
Eleven: no.

Mike: how come? did she do something?
Eleven: no.
Mike: then why don't you like her?
Eleven: idk she just gives me bad vibes.
Mike: wym

Eleven: when i saw her in the gym with you, it was like my stomach set on fire. i got a burst of anger out of nowhere. and it comes back every time i see her. and i don't like it.

Mike: el, that's called jealousy.
Eleven: jealoussy?
Mike: only one s. j-e-a-l o-u-s-y. it's like when you like somebody and you want them to be yours and only yours. and when other people threaten that, it makes you mad. it makes you jealous.

Eleven: im sorry mike. i just get scared that im gonna lose you to her.

Mike: it's okay eleven, you don't have to worry. everybody experiences jealousy. and you could never lose me. even if i did like her, she's head over heels for lucas. you have nothing to worry about.

Eleven: promise?
Mike: i promise.
Eleven: ily mike.
Mike: ily2 el.

With Mike's comforting promise I drifted off to sleep, denying the Monday that would come with waking up.
