falling for you\\ elmax

"sleepover"

i heard a knock at the door. i looked up from my magazine and ran to my door. i peaked my head out to see billy in the living room, about to answer it. before he could, i shoved him out of the way.
"i got it! i got it!" i yelled, smiling. he gave me a strange look and then went back to watching TV. i knew who it was. it had to be her. she was even on time, if it was her. i smiled just thinking about her. i threw open the door and just as i expected, el stood on my front porch, her backpack over her shoulders, in shorts and a sweatshirt. i smiled.
"hey el! i'm glad you could make it!" i said happily, inviting her in. she smiled.
"thank you." she walked in and looked around. i closed the door behind her. billy and her met eyes, billy glared at el. i grabbed el's arm.
"let's go to my room." i said, glaring at billy, running to my bedroom. he rolled his eyes.

we finally reached my bedroom. i shut the door silently behind el. she looked around.
"you're room is pretty." she said, with a bright smile. i nodded.
"thanks!" i sat on my bed, my hands in my lap.
"so.... what should we do?" i asked awkwardly. el looked at me and shrugged. i exhaled.
"um... how are things with you and mike?" i asked, trying to get a conversation going. she shook her head in disappointment.
"not good.." she said quietly. i was confused.
"what do you mean not good? is everything okay?" i asked concerned. she sighed and set her bag on the end of my bed.
"he just... doesn't spend time with me, he lies." she said, angrily. i stood up, listening to her.
"he treats me like garbage" she said. my eyes widened.
"h-how so?" i asked curiously angry. she shook her head.
"it doesn't matter. let's just have fun and forget about stupid boys." she said, smiling, scooting closer to me. i agreeed, smiling as well.
"yeah." i said softly.

me and el's day consisted of swimming, reading magazines, singing to songs, dancing, and even riding bikes and skate boarding. i was having a great time. and i knew she was, as well. ever since we went to the mall, i couldn't help but feel, these feelings for her. feelings that were deep deep down and made my face red or my stomach twirl when i was around her. i didn't want to believe i did, but i think i do. if my intentions are correct, i think i am in love with jane hopper.

we arrived back at my house, i brought my skateboard inside as el parked her bike by the side of my house. billy wasn't home, we had the place to ourselves. i let eleven into my room, i shut the door. i walked to my radio and turned it up. eleven looked at me and smiled.
"i like this song." she said. i nodded and turned it up a bit more. i turned from my radio and skipped and danced all around my room. eleven looked at me as if i were crazy. i offered her my hands and she grabbed them, dancing with me. we both were laughing, dancing, and singing. i smiled at her. she looked so beautiful. i couldn't help but just smile thinking about her. finally, the song ended and we both sat on my bed. suddenly, el found my favorite magazine.
"oh! that's my magazine, but you can read it!" i said, letting her flip through the pages. she flipped to the pages with all the famous celebrity boys. i smiled.
"isn't he cute?" i asked, pointing to a tall boy with brown hair. she looked closer then nodded, giggling.
"i bet he is the best kisser in the world." i said jokingly, laughing. i looked up at el. i scooted closer to her.

"hey- uh..." i said awkwardly. el looked at me. "is mike a good kisser?" i asked. she laughed and so did i. she shrugged.
"i don't know... he's... okay i guess." she said chuckling. i nodded, looking at the magazine with her. she looked back at me.
"is lucas a good kisser?" she asked curiously. i thought for a moment.
"not the best." i said. we both laughed. she closed the magazine and sat closer to me. it was silent.
"maybe..." i said slowly. "maybe- you can see if i'm a good kisser?" i asked nervously. she had a shocked look on her face. i giggled slightly. she then laughed and nodded.
"yeah, sure." she said sweetly. we both sat on my bed awkwardly, waiting for one of us to make a move. i decided it had to be me. i leaned in closer and closed my eyes. she closed hers as well, puckering her lips. finally, i felt my lips touching her soft pink lips. i kept mine on hers for a while. her lips tasted like cherries, and oh how they were soft! we pulled away. we were both blushing like crazy.
"good kisser." she said, impressed. "better than mike." i chuckled and smiled at her.

we continued our night normally, not really thinking much of the kiss. secretly, i was. inside, i was screaming with joy. all night i couldn't but help to think of her lips, her smile, just everything about her. this was the girl i was looking for.
