I LOVE Eleven so don't use this book as an excuse to hate her.

Mike checked himself once more in his bathroom mirror. He ran his long fingers through his raven curls, desperately trying to tame them. From the corner of his eye, he spotted his dad's cologne. Will was always going on about how nice his boyfriend smelt. Maybe a small spray of this could show Will that he, Mike Wheeler, can also smell good.
However, he quickly retrieved his hands from taking the bottle. He felt guilty, because he knew the cologne would only be used to impress Will, and not Eleven, his girlfriend. No, Mike thought, Eleven already likes the way you smell. Don't do this just so Will likes you better than Jack. Mike firmly nodded to himself, completely removing his eyes from the black bottle. His gaze soon averted to his dad's shaving kit.
Shit, he pondered, peering closer into the mirror, do I need a shave?
What? No! Don't be an idiot. Your 15! Shaving is for adults.
Fine then.
Mike glanced down at his watch. Crap! Eleven was going to be here any min-
Ding Dong
Urgh. He rushed out of the bathroom, and ran down the stairs to the front door. He opened the large door to reveal a very pretty-looking Eleven.
"Hi," she said, softly. "Are you ready to go?" Mike nodded, grabbing his black shoes from the behind the door. He gently took her hand and lead her out of the front garden.
"Is it alright if we walk? It's a nice night and we can watch the stars." Mike asked, watching El as she nodded at him. Mike knew he was lucky to have someone like El. She was sweet, kind, and very beautiful, but Mike couldn't help but feel that something was missing. Sure, it felt nice when they held hands, but it felt empty. Mike liked it when El's soft lips were against his chapped ones, but again, it felt empty.
"Hey, is something wrong?" His girlfriend asked him.
Shit, he shouldn't have made the distress so evident on his face.
"Nothing... um,"he shrugged pathetically, trying to think of an excuse, "I'm just a bit nervous and, uh, overwhelmed that me and all my best friends are going on a quadruple date. Never thought this day would come to be honest." Mike chuckled lightly, this was true. He really never thought that he'd be going on the same date with Lucas, Dustin and Will.
Will. Mike blushed a light pink, imagining what going on a date with Will would be like. But this, this date, wasn't exactly the scenario Mike hoped for when going out with his best friend.
"You never imagined your friends having girlfriends?" Asked a confused El, snapping Mike away from his fantasy.
"What? No! No, it's not that, it's more, like, I never thought we'd all go out at the same time on a date with our own girlfriends." Mike told El. He then noticed how he had only said girlfriends. "Besides, you do know that Will has a, -a boyfriend, right?" He cringed slightly at the thought of Jack.
Maybe Mike really did think that Will would never be in a relationship. He didn't mean it in a horrible way, it was just, Will seemed so young and Mike was always quite overprotective of him. Or maybe it was just because Mike never thought Will would have a relationship with anyone but him. It was selfish, he knew that, but he didn't deny the the thought.
Mike looked back at his girlfriend. She was looking down at her clean white trainers, with an awkward look on her face.
"El...?" Mike asked, unsure what was going on in her brain. "Jack is a boy." He laughed softly, amazed that she didn't know Will was going out with another male.
"I know, Mike, I know Jack is a boy." She still looked uncomfortable though, trying to avoid eye contact with Mike. The raven-haired boy frowned.
"Then what's the matter?"
"It's just, well, don't you think... don't you think that it's a bit weird that Will has a boyfriend." She asked hesitantly.
Mike frown deepened. "No. No, there's nothing wrong with boys liking other boys. Or with girls liking other girls." He looked at El. "I don't see the problem."
"I just thinks it's abnormal. Boys should like girls, not other boys. That's just wro- "
"Who told you it was wrong, Eleven? There's nothing wrong with what gender you like." Mike said in defence of Will... and Jack. He didn't want to attract attention to the two of them so he kept his voice to a loud whisper. "In fact. I don't even look at genders. I just like who I'm comfortable around, and somebody who looks after me."
"But Mike, how will Will and Jack have kids when they are older?" Mike tried not to cringe at the thought of little Wills and little Jacks running around in diapers.
"There are thousands of kids who they can adopt El. Besides, I don't think they need to worry about that right now." Mike said, irritation evident in his voice. El was silent for a moment before opening her mouth again.
Right, Mike thought, I'm sick of this bullshit now. He was relieved to see a very nice looking Will standing next to a tall, brunet boy. They both looked handsome in their casual trousers and button-up shirts. Will waved cheerfully at them, beckoning for them to come over.
"El." Mike said firmly, looking at his girlfriend with a stern face. "Please, please don't be rude or anything to Will or his boyfriend, and certainly do not question their homosexual relationship. Because it could make them upset, ok?" Eleven rolled her eyes, and looked back down at her shoes. Slowly, but barely noticeable, she nodded.
When they finally reached Will and Jack, Mike gave his best friend a huge grin and a tight hug. He also managed a polite nod towards Jack. As much as he didn't want to, he still decided to show respect. He carefully watched as El gave Will and Jack a strained smile whilst introducing herself as Eleanor.
He really hoped, for Will's benefit, that tonight would go smoothly.
