In which El and Max finally start to form a friendship.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
El remembered what Mike had said.
"Lucas is really angry about you and Max not being friends, so today you're gonna talk to her and explain things and maybe be friends."
"Mike, a friend is someone you would do anything for. I wouldn't do anything for Max." she snorted, being Max's friend sounded outlandish to her.
"Now I get that, just give it a chance, okay? Just this once and if it doesn't work out you don't have to talk to her again."
"Promise?"
"Promise."
A knock came on the cabin door and El went to open it.
Sure enough, a certain red-headed girl stood in the doorway.
"Hi, El. Uh, the guys said you liked these so I brought them as a peace offering and an offering of friendship?" Max said, handing her a familiar yellow box of frozen waffles.
"Thanks." El invited her inside, and they sat on the couch.
"Now, El, I don't want to come off as rude but I had a hunch about it, did you throw me off my skateboard?" Max asked.
"Well friends don't lie. I did. I'm sorry! I just, I saw you with Mike and it made me, it made me--"
"Jealous." Max said.
"J-jealous?" a word El had never heard before.
"Yeah, like, Mike was with me in the gym and it made you upset because he wasn't with you. Basically like when someone has something you want." Max explained.
"Then, yeah. I was jealous."
"Why though? I mean, Mike's crazy about you!" Max giggled.
"I thought you were replacing me. I thought that after I disappeared from the classroom, Mike forgot about me. He didn't and I heard when he called me, but I thought you guys were together and it made me upset because I like Mike." El said.
"You like Mike? Like as more than a friendship?"
"Um,"
"Hey just explain to me, like, have you kissed him?" Max asked.
"Kiss?"
"Like when you smoosh your lips together?"
"Oh! Yes."
"What?! When?! How many times?!" Max was astonished that nerdy Mike Wheeler got a girl to kiss him.
"The night I disappeared, and at the Snowball. The first time he told me he liked me and asked me to the snowball, the second time, we were dancing to one of the songs."
"AWE! THAT'S ADORABLE! YOU TWO ARE PERFECT FOR EACH OTHER!" Max exclaimed.
"Hey hey hey! You aren't getting off Scot free either! What is happening with you and Lucas, huh?" El smirked as Max turned red.
"He's my boyfriend. We kissed at the snowball." Max said.
"Boyfriend?"
"Yeah, like, more than a friend, someone you love and kiss and things like that." Max said.
"Wait so Mike hasn't asked you to be his girlfriend?"
"N-no. Is that, bad?" tears welled in El's eyes, what if he didn't like her that way?
"No he's probably just scared, Mike is a coward sometimes you know. Don't cry, El! Mike is absolutely crazy about you, I bet if he had to go to the upside down to save you, he would. Listen, he didn't want me in the party in the beginning, he hated me. It was all because you were gone. Lucas told me about you, and how you and Mike were, how when you were cold, he gave you his coat, and how sweetly he talked to you compared to everybody else. Trust me when I say he might even love you."
El smiled.
"Tell ya what, do you have your supercomm?" Max asked.
"Yes, it's in my room." El guided her into the room, and Max squealed at the red heart shaped card that was taped to her mirror.
"See he's head over heels!"
"Wait, El, what's this?" Max asked looking at the dinosaur on her shelf.
"Oh that's Rory."
"Rory? What kind of name is that?"
"Well I didn't pick the name, Mike gave that to me, when he donated all his toys."
"Why?"
"Cause it reminded him of me, when I was first with the boys, he showed it to me and he told me what a promise was and what a friend was and just, yeah."
"You guys are adorable, what channel?" Max asked while she grabbed the Supercomm off of El's nightstand.
"Channel 11."
"Hey, Michael! Do you copy?!"
"Max, what do you want?"
"Hey why haven't you asked El to be your girlfriend?! You're obsessed with her and everything so what the hell?!"
"I guess I never did cause I assumed, cause we're always together and all."
"Wow Mike! I'm giving El the Supercomm, and leaving the room, you better ask her. You hear me? She's my best friend now and I'll kill you."
El smiled, she always wanted a best friend that was a girl. One with a good heart and that understood her and didn't treat her like a freak.
She finally had that.
