Binary Star ~MILEVEN AU~

chapter one

'You must be the North Star because the light around you guided me here'

The sun beamed through the car windows, the brunette signed leaning her head on the glass beside. Hopper sends her an apologetic look through the rearview mirror before fixing his eyes on the road again.

"It's gonna be okay kid" the man assured.

The honey eyed girl sighed again, fiddling with her fingers nervously, looking down at her feet.

"I know dad" she mumbled, still staring down at her feet.

Hopper pulled up at the school drive and turned around facing his daughter. He placed his hand on the top of hers affectionately before saying, "Just let me know if someone bothers you, I'll lock them up straight away".

Elanor giggled in response, leaning forward and nudging her dad's shoulder playfully.

"I love you kid", he beamed at her. "I love you too dad", she smiled sadly at him before getting out of the car and slamming the door behind her. She turned around and waved at her dad who smiled warmly at her in return before taking off.

Elanor turned around and started walking towards the entrance feeling anxious. "It'll be okay. It's gonna be okay. You're fine.", she kept mumbling to herself whilst keeping her eyes glued to the ground." Everythings fi-". Her thoughts were interpreted by a redhead bumping into her abruptly, making her books shatter on the ground.

The redhead immediately knelt beside Elanor, picking her books up whilst apologizing." I'm so sorry. I should've seen where I was going. I'm such an idio-". Elanor cut her off by saying, "It's okay". The redhead grinned at her sweet gesture.

Elanor pushed herself on her feet and the redhead copied her actions. The redhead stared down at one of Elanor's book labels before looking up and asking, "so you're the new kid, the chief's daughter right?". "I'm afraid I am", the brunette answered finally looking up.

" I'm Maxine by the way, but you can call me max", the redhead said stretching her hand out which the brunette gladly shook. "I'm Elanor", she beamed. "'Elanor'. That's a nice name. I hate my name, it makes me feel like an old lady", the freckle-faced girl joked. Elanor just giggled in response.

"you don't speak much do you?", max smiled at her knowingly."People who barely know me say that", the brunette chuckled. "well, I don't think I'm gonna say that after I get to know you better", max shook her head. The two teens started to make their way through the corridor, still deep into the conversation. 'Maybe school isn't that bad', Elanor thought to herself.

Mike on the other hand was having the worst day possible. He fell down the stairs and hurt himself, signed in late to school, got detention for swearing at the teacher, and to make things worse he got paired up with Stacy for a science project. Stacy and Mike never got along, he didn't know why he dated her in the first place. Mike broke up with her two weeks ago, saying that they weren't meant to be together. But that didn't stop Stacy from following Mike like a puppy dog and doing everything in her power to get back together with him. Getting paired up with Mike gave her yet another opportunity to annoy him. Mike tried to ask the teacher to change his partner, but the teacher just shook his head and said that he should be thankful for getting paired up with a sweet girl like Stacy.

Mike just gave Stacy a death glare before storming out of the class ignoring the teacher's calls.

Meanwhile, Elanor was having a great time. Max introduced her to the party, Elanor was a bit afraid they wouldn't like her. But the party loved her. Dustin even invited her to go to the arcade with them tomorrow.

"umm where's Mike?", Will asked out of the blue. "I don't know, he should've been here by now", Lucas said munching his Doritos. "probably in the closet making out with Stacy", Dustin commented making Max fake gag in disgust. "You mean Mike Wheeler?", Elanor said confused. Everyone whipped their heads in her direction, shocked. "You know him?", Max asked surprised. "No.umm he's in my science class. He was arguing with the teacher and then he just stormed out of the class.", Elanor replied. "Sounds like him.", Dustin chuckled. "We should probably check on him after school.", Will suggested. Everyone agreed except for Max. She knew Mike would probably chase her out the moment he saw her, so she decided to stay back. "Can I come?", Elanor asked innocently. The party glanced at each other before Lucas decided to speak up. " We don't want to scare you off on your first day with us". The party nodded in agreement. Eleanor just frowned. "Hey, it's okay. They're probably just gonna get yelled at. We can check out the mall after school if you want.", Max tried to cheer her up. "Sounds great!", Elanor grinned widely, but she still couldn't get Mike off of her head.
