Wednesday March 5th, 1987

Almost a week has passed already. You didn't miss a lot. The meeting of last Friday was great, eating pizza, watching films, and then talking. The weekend was bored, El came on Saturday to listen to some music and gossip a bit. It's Jane, I'm used to that. She has been hanging out with Wayne, but I don't think they're a thing yet, so it's not threatening by now. Sunday is study day, and then Jonathan and I went to Castle Byers to remodel it. Monday and Tuesday were normal, except from the fact that Mike yesterday didn't come to school. I will ask him after the rehearsal. Oh right. Tomorrow Mike is presenting his screenplay, so we have to practice. But first I have to help in the gym as I promised to. Wayne is with me. He finally has come back from the expulsion. We're both in charge of wax the floor, and when we're done, we can leave. I don't know how to say this, but Wayne is not getting into trouble. Now, he's going completely unnoticed... I wonder if it's because of Jane... actually, no idea. But that's no reason to lower my back. Still, chatting with him is not bad, he's told me that Lucas forbid him of doing drugs, and he's fine with it. I hope is true. I swear if Jane tries those things, I'm going to kill him. Anyways, we tidy up and exit the gym, he accompanies me to the events room, where the rest is, and I say good bye to him. On the other hand, El glads me and approaches to the door before Wayne can leave

"They make a cute couple don't you think so?"

"Max, come back, I think you're too much involved with your character"

"Shut up! Wayne is really happy when he's with El"

"And I haven't seen El so distracted in my life"

"You only say that because you're as cheesy as them. Get a room Lumax"

"Byers is jealous!"

"I'm not jealous Dustin. Just tired of seeing them without having anything clear. Do you know if they're already dating?"

"Nah, El told me she's going to wait a bit more"

"Wait.... for what? Is not clear enough that Balmer would die for her?"

"Balmer is complicated. And Jane too. They're taking it slow. Just that"

"Where is Mike by the way?"

"He went to the backstage, god knows for what. HEY! LOVING BIRDS! WE HAVE SOME WORK HERE, SO YOU'LL HAVE TO WAIT TO MAKE OUT!"

"SHUT UP DUSTIN!" El replies back, and whisper something to Wayne in his ear. After that, the boy is gone, and Jane joins us.  "You had to do the comment"

"I couldn't resist myself, sorry."

"Where's Mikey? He's not even here. What a trashy director..."

"Hey! Repeat that one more time and you're fired, Brenda! I need help right here!" we turn around and see him carrying the mixing desk on his own. Max runs to help and we all look at each other confused

"Mike, what is that for?"

"Tomorrow I have just the right time to do the sound test before the show, so I prefer doing it today. Which one of you will be the blessed one who will stay with me a bit more?"  I don't have enough time to react when I see the rest taking a step backwards. "Thank you Byers!"

"But I didn't-"

"Let's start! Guys did you learn your dialogues?"

"Kind of"

"LUCAS WHAT THE HELL DOES THAT SUPPOSE TO MEAN?"

"Dude, Max and you are the ones who go to drama course. Not us"
