phobia | elmax

first day

max was skating to school. it was her second year at hawkins and she had already made a group of friends. dustin,lucas, mike, will and her bestfriend eleven.
it was the first day of high school and max was really nervous.
when max reached the school, she looked around for her bestfriend.
they always met up together before going to school.

"max! you made it." eleven ran over to max and gave her a hug.
"why wouldn't i make it?" max furrowed her eyebrows as she pulled away from the hug.
"i don't know." eleven shrugged. "i was just worried, that's all."

eleven and max made their way to the stairs and waited for the boys to show up.

"so, you nervous?" eleven glances at max.
"hell yeah. i don't know what to expect." max sighs.

eleven wraps her arm around max.

"i don't know what to expect either but it's going to be fine. we have eachother." eleven smiled at max.

max smiled back and leaned into elevens touch.

"hey there ladies!" mike walked over with a goofy face.

the rest of the boys weren't far behind him.

"mike!" eleven grinned wide, jumping into his arms and kissing him.

mike and eleven have been dating ever since the beginning of summer.
max and the boys weren't  really used to it but it was fine.

"i missed you too babe." mike laughed, making eleven giggle.

"okay enough lovebirds." will rolled his eyes, standing beside max.

eleven blushed before walking back to max with mike.

the bell rang.

"cmon lets go!" eleven jumped up excitedly and dragged max along with her inside the school.

"babe wait up!" mike called but eleven was too far away to hear him.

max and eleven were in shock of how big the school was.
it was nice and clean and it was packed with teenagers.

"what the hell!" dustin yelled when the boys finally caught up to them.

"let's go to our lockers!" eleven squealed and started running towards the lockers.
"el, calm down." max laughed, running behind eleven.
"not again!" dustin yelled again behind them.

eleven went to her locker and opened it.

"i could get used to this." elevens eyes lit up when she looked at the locker on her right.
"hey, my lockers right beside you!" max gasped.

eleven grabbed max's hands and they jumped up and down together.

"hey babe i'm right beside you too." mike yelled, grabbing el's attention.
"oh my god this is so cool!" eleven cupped mikes face and kissed him slowly.

max rolled her eyes.

"great ill be seeing this all the time then." max sighed.
"yep. get used to it." mike grabbed eleven with him. "cmon babe let's get to our class."

"wait—" max yelled.

max didn't know what class she had.

"need help?" lucas smiled.
"yeah thanks." max nodded.

lucas looked at her schedule.

"you have algebra." lucas told max.
"shit." max mumbled underneath her breath. "okay i think i know where that is."
"bye." lucas walked the other way to his class.

max found her class on time and walked in.
she looked around the room and spotted eleven sitting alone.

"el!" max smirked.
"holy shit!" eleven gasped.

max sat next to eleven.

"i thought i was going to be alone. thank god." eleven sighed.
"mike isn't in this class?" max raised her eyebrow.
"no. he thought he was but the teacher said he was in the wrong class." eleven laughed thinking about it.
"what an idiot." max whispered but quickly regretted it when she remembered eleven was dating him.
"i-i didn't im s-sorry—" max stuttered and mentally cursed herself for doing so.
"no it's alright, silly. i agree. he can be an idiot at times." eleven smiled. "but i love him still."

max's heart stopped for a second and she frowned but then put a fake smile on her face.
she didn't know why that irritated her but it did.

"max are you okay?" eleven shot her a concerned look.
"yeah i'm okay." max turned around to face the front of the room.

a/n just so you know this story doesn't take place in 1985. it takes place in 2019 and eleven is a normal girl and Hawkins is a normal town.
