Chapter four

El's POV

I was in absolute shock, what had I just done? I had to go, I got up and ran out of the room into the hallway, I ran and ran until I was far from the dorm room, I leaned my back against one of the walls and slid down until I was sitting on the floor. I ruined everything. Any chance I had with Mike was gone. He would never love a freak like me. I felt tears stream down my face. I buried my face in my hands when I heard a familiar voice.

"El? Are you okay? El!" I looked up to see Mike running towards me, he sat kneeled down next to me. I looked up and saw genuine concern in his eyes. Maybe he did care about me.

"I-I'm okay."

"Are you sure?" He asked.

"Yeah, I'm sorry."

"For what, El?"

"I'm so weird, I'm a freak, Mike."

"El, don't say that, it isn't true." I started sobbing and I felt his arms wrap around me, I felt safe in that moment, I wanted him to hold me like that forever. Mike let go as my crying soothed. I felt a sudden coldness fill my entire body.

"Hey look at me." He said softly, grabbing my chin and delicately tilting my face in his direction. "You have superpowers, that's so cool." I giggled and his face lit up. I didn't understand how he could make any awful situation so beautiful.

"Thank you so much." I said hugging him tightly.

"Anything for you." He said kissing the top of my head. We stood up and walked back to the room hand in hand, but letting go before we entered, not wanted to get teased over it. The door opened and everyone looked at me in shock.

"Yo dude, why didn't you tell me you had superpowers!" Max said "We could pull so many sick pranks." I laughed

"Well I didn't want you guys to hate me, plus it's dangerous, if anyone finds out they could use me for my powers, I trust you guys though."

"I could never hate you." Mike said smiling at me. An awe filled the room and Mike and I blushed.

"Seriously though El, that's so fucking lit." Dustin said and suddenly our sleepover turned into a Q&A about my telekinetic powers.

———

I woke up the next morning in my bed in Mike's arms, I blushed. The last thing I remember was playing a wack game of never have I ever, Mike was sitting on the bed with me so we must have fallen asleep here.

Everyone else was on the floor besides Max, who was in her bed, it looked like Lucas was up there at some point but fell of and was now cuddled up to Will and Dustin on the floor. I turned around so I was facing Mike and moved in closer to his chest. Everything felt so calm and peaceful in that moment, but knowing my group of friends, that wouldn't last. I let myself drift off to sleep anyways.

Twenty minutes later I was awakened by a pillow hitting my head and Dustin and Max yelling at each other. It woke Mike up too. He looked so tired and I thought it was adorable. I watched him get flustered as he realized he had been cuddling me.

"Oh shit, El, I'm so sorry I-"

"Mike, don't worry, it was nice." I got an idea, "watch this." I smirked and sat up. I focused on the pillow and sent it flying at the back of Dustin's head.

"Hah!" Mike laughed

"Heyyyy." Dustin whined. Everyone was awake and laughed. I wiped the blood from under my nose. I was happy I could be open about my powers, especially when it meant I could fling pillows at Dustin.
