Mike's POV
I woke up and it was the first day of school. After a great summer, being back to waking up at 6AM everyday is not fun. Of course I didn't actually wake up at 6AM, ending up being late already in the first day.
I got out of my bed when I opened my eyes and saw the red alarm numbers 06:37. Shit! I was so late that I didn't even thought of looking out the window to see if El was awake.
I got in the shower, the water didn't even turn hot and I had to take a cold 5 minute-shower. This day was already going so great.I got downstairs, picked up a piece of fruit, eating it while I came back to my bedroom and started to dress my outfit. I washed my teeth and picked my backpack, leaving the front door a minute after. I got on my bike and rode it to El's front porch. I rang the bell, waiting for her for 5 minutes to give her a ride to school. She told me the day before if she didn't come to the door in 3 minutes, she would have gone to school with her dad already. She must have had gone already so I decided to hit the road and get to school.
I got there, chained my bike to the bike parking bars and went straight to my locker, leaving there all the stuff I didn't need.
I went to my first period class, which was Calculus, and I remembered that I only had 2 classes in common with El, which sucked.It was lunch time and I hadn't seen El all day, and I was starting to get worried. I hurried to Max, who was talkin with Lucas and Dustin by their lockers.
- Hey, it's Mike! - Dustin said, while everyone said hey.
- Hi guys. Max, have you seen El today?
- No, I haven't. The last time I saw her was yesterday, when we all went to the quarry.
- I haven't seen her today aswell. - Lucas said, and Dustin saying the same right after.
- I'm worried about her, guys. I didn't check her bedroom in the morning because I was too late for that and I didn't come to school with her. I also have English Literature with her and she didn't show up to class. - I said, fiddling my hands.
- Don't be so worried! I bet she's okay! - Dustin said, patting me on the shoulder.
- Why don't you call her home or the sheriff's office? - Lucas suggested.
- Good idea! I'll be back for lunch. - I said, running to the back of the school building, where there were payphones.I took some quarters out and I put them on the first payphone that was hanging on the wall. I called her house and no one picked up.
Well, she must be with her dad, I thought. I reached my pocket for some more quarters to call the sheriff's office but I had none. Fortunately, I saw Will pass by, holding hands with James.- Will! - I shouted and he came up to me.
- Hey Mike, how's the first day going?
- Not so good. Look, I need some coins to call sheriff Hopper.
- Why?
- Because I haven't seen El all day and she didn't come to class and no one answers her house phone and I'm worried sick!
- That's weird. But here, take these. - Will gave me about a dollar worth in pennies and quarters. - But look, I woke up in the middle of the night with police car noises and the noise of speeding cars on the road. Hopper may not pick up.I immediately dialed the police office while Will and James walked away.
Hello?
Hello, I'm Mike Wheeler and I need to talk to Sheriff Hopper, who is this?
I'm Flo, I'm the sheriff's assistant. He's not here right now, would you like to leave a message?
