Im sure your familiar with the story of 4 bestfriend, mike wheeler, paladin, Lucas Sinclair, ranger, Will buyers, cleric and Dustin Henderson, bard. But im sure you not so familiar with our zoomer and mage, Max Mayfield and El Hopper who to often get overshadowed in this story. Well that's all about to change its time to learn more about our beloved zoomer and mage, and learn just how strange our things. 

After returning to school the party had all started to get better, el and mike rekindled their relationship and everything went back to normal.  even though the teens weren't all in the same classes they still ate lunch together in the cafeteria every day and would spend every weekend exploring a new creek or trek a new trail. 

But El started to notice something odd. That as time when on summer turned into fall and school progressed on, max was becoming more and more quite, she stopped wearing cute shorts and short sleeved shirts. she'd always wear her hair down around her face and didn't talk much at lunch. 

Sometimes el would see that max wasn't eating and offer her a twisler or a sip of her milk, max would always refuse.  max wouldn't want to sleep over at els anymore or she would always skate straight home after school. el just thought she was sad about Billy or the fact that Lucas' and her broke up for reasons still unknown to el, but el thought it would all get better with time, time that's all max needed, time to heal.

Friday morning, 8:16 am, 1985, Hawkins high. 

"Hey guys," el walked over to all the boy standing by the bike rack on the grey fall morning,              "hi el" mike said as he locked his bike and wrapped his arm around his girlfriend and kissed her on the cheek.

"okay guys lets go in," Will said as he picked up his backpack and started to head up the school steps,

"Wait! we need to wait for max, besides we still have 20 min till school actually starts,"  el said as she stared into the street to see if she could see maxes fiery red hair coming down the road.

17 minutes had passed and max was a no show so the party decided  to head into class, they figured that max must just not be in, sick or something. it was 3rd period (break) and the party, minus max, were sitting on the steps outside school in the courtyard chatting when they saw a beige car screech round the carpool line and pull in front of the school, the left door swung open and max was practically pushed out the car by and guy with a brown haired moustache covering his top lip. "wait is that Nile maxes stepdad," Lucas said "yeah look and there is max"

max stormed out the car and grabbed he backpack from the cars footwell and slumbered toward the front steps of the school. "MAX!" el screamed as she jumped up to hug her best friend, as she wrapped her arms around max, max flinched at els touch and winced only loud enough for el to hear. She quickly pulled away and looked in maxes bright blue ocean eye and saw nothing, her eyes where empty, like she was hollow inside. 

max look at the brunette and she felt herself well up so she turned away and kept walking before el could get a word out.  she headed to the boys and el tried to grab her wrist to pull her back to ask her if she was okay, but as she wrapped her finger around maxes slim wrists wax winced again.

els hand shot away but max didn't dare look back at el as she feared if she did that she would fall into tears. the girls when the rest of that Friday not speaking a word to each other. as a matter a fact el didn't talk at all as she couldn't get her mind of max, and like usual max just kept her head down. 


Hope you guys liked chapter 1 even though its a bit short but I was kind of just trying to set the scene but i will try to make chapter 2 longer...
