Binary Star ~MILEVEN AU~

chapter two

'Girl, you must be blue, because you're the hottest star around right now.'

El closed the door behind her and hung her coat. "Did you have fun?", Hopper asked lighting his cigarette. "Yeah, dad. I also bought these shoes on sale! I'm gonna wear them to school tomorrow!", Elanor exclaimed. "I'm glad you made new friends kid.", her dad smiled warmly at her. "Me too dad.", Elanor returned the gesture.

Mike heard a knock on his bedroom door and knew who it was straight away. "Fuck off Nancy.", he called out. "I'm just gonna pretend you didn't say that", Nancy said calmly before slinging the door open. Mike quickly wiped his tears hearing the door open, revealing his sister with concern plastered on her face. She wrapped her arms around her as he sobbed in her neck. She ran her fingers through his curls and rubbed his back trying to calm him. She pulled away moments later and wiped his tears with the pad of her thumb whilst asking,

"What's wrong?"

"Everything"

"What do you mean Mike?"

"it's just...mom and dad are always fighting. Everyone in school thinks I'm a dumbass rebel and is scared to even speak to me like I'm some kind of monster and I just mess everything up for everyone. I just...I just don't see the point in living anymore"

Nancy's stomach fell at the sight of her brother. 'he doesn't deserve this', she thought. "Mike don't say that", she says softly. "What else do you expect me to say? Everyone clearly hates me anyways", Mike snapped. "Nobody hates you, I love you and your friends love you. And I'm pretty sure that Stacy girl does?", Nancy chuckled at the last sentence. "Don't even start Hair-Harrington's-Girlfriend-soon-to-be-his-wife", Mike said in a teasing tone. "Micheal Joseph Wheeler, you did not", Nancy gasped before getting up and chasing her brother around the room. Mike simply threw his head back and laughed, running as fast as his lanky legs took him.

The next day, Mike decided to take Nancy's advice and focus on the people who cared about him rather than focusing on people who didn't even care to speak to him. Everything was going as well as it could, well until he saw a certain brunette sat on his seat when he reached the cafeteria.

He felt his blood boil. 'who dared to sit on my seat. My seat!' he thought. And he was right. Everybody in school knew how far he could get when he's angry. Mike being Mike was about to chase her off the table but something was holding him back. He'd never felt this way about anyone before. But he let his ego overtake his feelings.

He walked up to Elanor, slammed his fist on the table, and said "Who the hell are you and what the fuck are you doing on my seat". His actions caught Elanor off guard but she managed to pull herself together. "I'm sorry is your name written on this seat? Oh yeah it's not!", Elanor snapped. The party froze. The whole cafeteria went dead silent. who had the guts to fight Mike Wheeler?!. Elanor herself was surprised by how the words easily slipped out of her tongue. Mike could've argued further but he decided to drop it. He just scoffed and took off to find an empty table to sit in. He just wanted alone time to get things off of his head. But Stacy had other plans. She watched the whole scene from the other end of the cafeteria and decided to take advantage of it.

She sat on the other side of him and squealed "Hi Mikey!". Mike simply rolled his eyes at her "I'm not in the mood Stacy", he stated. But Stacy wasn't planning on leaving him anytime soon.

"Poor Mikey got rejected by his first crush"

"What are you talking about?"

"Don't act like you don't know what I'm talking about Mike. I saw the way you were looking at her. I'm not blind"

"Who?Elanor?"

"Sure"

"Look I don't like her. I think she's pretty and all but she's just... not my type"

"You better not like her, she's way off your league anyways"

"Don't you think I can make it happen?"

"Make what happen?"

"Make her fall in love with me"

Stacy gasped in shock but managed to get her phone out of the pocket and start voice recording, making sure Mike didn't notice.

"Yeah, but what if..."

"What if what"

"What if you fall in love with her?"

"Love isn't a real thing Stacy. It is just a transaction"

"Whatever you say"

"Here's a deal: If I make her fall in love with me, you should never speak to me again. Or even look in my direction"

"What if you fail to make her fall in love with you?"

Mike smirked devilishly and said

"I won't"
