Hopper dropped El off outside the Wheeler's house at 7:32 pm. Before she left, Max had called El to tell her to tell the others that she wasn't gonna be able to get there until about 9, since her brother wouldn't be back till then and he was the only person who could drive her. El was pretty bummed, since she was looking forward to spending time with her.
Eleven knocked shyly on the door as she waved goodbye to Hopper. She clutched her bag in her hand and Mike opened the door, Will and Dustin stood behind him. They said hi and El told them that Max wouldn't be able to get there until nine, to which Mike rolled his eyes and she shot him a death stare, which make Will giggle. They put their stuff in the basement.
Lucas arrived soon after and they started the game of DnD. El was still unsure of the rules, and decided she would much rather just watch than actually be involved in the game. She kept looking down at her watch, waiting for 9, when Max would arrive.
After an hour or so, the boys were still waiting and Eleven was starting to get impatient for Max. Her stomach hurt and everything Mike said just seemed REALLY irritating.
"I'm going to the bathroom." She declared, and went through to the basement bathroom while the boys carried on with their game.
The first thing she noticed was blood. All over the crotch of her blue jeans. She felt scared, trying to remember if she had cut herself. She sat down and tried to breathe slowly, slightly panicking. What was wrong with her? The she remembered something that Joyce had told her a few weeks ago, about bleeding and something about becoming a woman. She couldn't remember all the details but she knew it must've been that. But the thing was, she had no idea what to do. And even worse, she was at a sleepover with FOUR BOYS, and the only girl hadn't even arrived. She sat down in the bathroom and panicked. What was she supposed to do? She couldn't ask to go home without the boys asking questions, and even then she didn't know what to say to Hopper. Then she had a thought: Nancy. She would know what to do. The thought of asking Nancy for something was nervewracking, since El was really shy, but Nancy had always been nice to her.
She held her hands behind her back, covering the blood stain on her jeans.
"I'm just going upstairs!" She told the boys, hoping they wouldn't ask questions.
"Why?" Will asked.
"It doesn't matter!" El snapped. The boys looked confused but the let it slide.
El ran up the stairs and stood outside Nancy's room. She took a shaky breath before she knocked on the door, and quietly opened it.
Nancy was sat at her desk, and span around on her chair to see her at the door.
"El? Are you okay?" Nancy asked, looking worriedly at the nervous girl standing in the doorway.
Eleven bit her lip. "I... um... I need some help." She said quietly. "I... I went to the bathroom and I-I think I started... There's blood everywhere and I don't know what to do!" Her sentences trailed off into nothing, as El stood, on the verge of tears. Nancy felt so sorry for the poor girl. She rushed over and gave Eleven a hug, closing the door behind her.
"Oh sweetie," Nancy said "You've got your period. Here, just let me go get something."
El looked so small in the middle of Nancy's room, so out of place. Nancy came back with a pad in her hand and explained to El what she was supposed to do with it.
"You can go in my bathroom if you want." Nancy offered. So Eleven went in, and came out a few minutes later. She looked anxious and worried. Nancy gave her another hug.
"Look, if you need anything, I'll be in my room all night, just come find me. Max will be here soon so at least you won't be the only girl." El's heart jumped at the mention of Max's name. She smiled weakly and breathed a shaky breath.
"Thank you Nancy." She said quietly, before turning around and leaving, shutting the door behind her. Nancy watched the small girl and felt a small pang of love. As much as Mike got on her nerves, she had a soft spot for Eleven. She felt like a little sister to Nancy.
