A few weeks past and El had gathered enough ones for headshots and extra for anything else.
She stopped working, but visited the store once in a while to help with anything.Eleven was on her way home from school, too busy focusing on a script when she bumped into a pole, falling hard on the ground.
"El, you ok?", Michael laughed a little as he pulled himself up beside her.
"I-I'm fine,", she laughed back. "What happened to your car?", she added, getting up.
"It's getting repaired. You really need to look where your going."
"I know, I know. I'm just reading a script for an upcoming audition."
"Why don't you put it down for now."
"I can't, it's in 4 months."
"The you've got plenty of time."
"Since it's my first, I want to be really prepared."
"...Fine, but please be more careful."
"I will.. That hurt like hell."
They both laughed and continued on their journeys home.

The next day at school Max placed her books in her locker as her bag was getting unbearable to carry.
She closed it only to see a taller guy beside her."I'm sorry.", he said.
"H-hey, Mike. You don't have to apologize."
"Yes I do."
"You didn't do anything."
"I made you upset. I don't like making my friends upset.", he handed Maxine a pink envelope with her name on it.
"What's this?"
"Open it.", so she did and inside was two tickets for a David Bowie concert.
"Are you serious?"
"Why wouldn't I be?"
"Mike, you really didn't have to do this."
"Just take them and say thank you."
"But-"
"Say it."
"Thank you.", Max's lips slid into a huge smile and she engulfed Michael into a big hug, him returning the gesture.
The two walked to class together, as they had the same one, El watched close behind and was happy for them but at the same time felt kind of upset as they looked more of a couple than friends. She didn't why but it bothered her.
But those feeling were interrupted by a small pain in her head. Strangely, he head was still hurting after she bumped into a pole the day before.°°°
Lunch passed and the last few lessons were left before the weekend was to start.
Mike and El walked down the halls from the English department to the History department, having the same lesson but different teachers in separate rooms.
All day, El had been holding her head, making it obvious she felt an immense amount of pain."Is your head still hurting?", asked Michael.
"It's gotten worse since yesterday."
"You know why?"
"Do you smell something weird?"
"We are near the science department, there might be an experiment going on."
"No, it smells weirder than that."
Eleven slowed down and lowered her bag.
"El, are you okay?"
Suddenly, she fell into Michael's arm and started shaking, her eyes rolled back.
"El? El!", quickly, Mike ran to the nearest classroom warning the teacher of what was going on.
She took action and called an ambulance but couldn't do much as she was only a substitute teacher.°°°
Tick. Tock. Tick. Tock.
Went the clock on the wall of the hospital in Hawkins' local hospital.
Michael, Will, Joyce, Hopper and Jonathon even had been waiting for just over an hour for news about Eleven.Finally, a nurse came through, "Is anyone here for Jane Byers-Ives?", she asked.
Joyce jumped up and approached the nurse. "I-is she okay?", everyone else listening intently behind her.
"Are you her mother?"
"Y-yes."
"Well, your daughter had a seizure."
"A seizure?!"
"We're going to need you to fill out some paperwork."
"O-ok.", Joyce quickly turned around to the rest of her children and said, "Jonathon, could you take Will home?"
"Of course."
The two sons hugged her children before leaving. "Mike, I suggest you go home. Your dad is probably worried sick."
"Will I get to see her?"
"..Maybe."
Michael sighed, watching Joyce go with the nurse and also leaving the hospital.
