Another day of school was starting. Another day of hell. Expect for the classes.
I really love art class though. I didn't know I was like humans says 'an artist' but it wasn't even something I controlled.
I just am there with that white canvas and the colors. So much colors humans have invented and I was fascinated by all of them.
And my hand is just there, moving without controlling it.
Then I just draw and paint, draw and paint. until the image I had in my mind take form.
But my favorite part of all is when is lunch and I can be with my new friends.
When I become a human. I was scared and I felt a little alone. Even though my sister El, followed me into this romantic trip. Or it should be like that.
I met that dark curve hair boy, named Mike, when I was on the swings, not knowing how school supposed to work.
My sister just made one new friend, a girl named Max, and they went in class together.
Mike instead. He was so gentle and asked me if I wanted to be his friend. I said yes. With a bright smile showing to my face.
At least I found him and even though I should feel like I'm in paradise. I'm not.
For this follows things:
1) My human form will not last for ever until Mike will fall in love with me. Or with my sister.
2) A witch named Henry will take my life if Mike doesn't fall in love with me. Or my sister.
3) Did I mention Mike fallen in love with me already?
So, I'm in deep shit. Because not only El followed me into this stupid plan but also I'm not even closer to make Mike falling in love with me.
Yes, we're friends and all but every time we are together it's with the others.
Lucas is the best really. He's a football player of the school. His girlfriend Max also is cool. Her and El become best friends like in a second.
Then there is Dustin, who I enjoy spending time with. We share so many comic books about Spider man and Superman. I didn't know that superheroes exist in this world. That's so handsome.
"Dude, you have to check it up the new comic of March!" Dustin said
"Can you borrow it to me? I really love the new series" I said excited
We both giggle and read it together in the school cafeteria. Until he sits together with us
Mike Wheeler is beautiful. Like that's not other ways to describe him. He has freckles on his cheeks and his black eyes just make him more gorgeous of what he already is.
Unlucky me, he doesn't spend so much time with us. For his concerts. Last January he went to the East Cost missing school for two months. Two months!
I missed him so terrible.
"Hey guys, what are you reading?" said Mike suddenly
"The new Spiderman number of March!" said Dustin
"Wow. It's already out!? I thought it will be releasing the 7th!"
"Me too Dude!" replied Dustin
"Hey Will. How are you?" said Mike with a smile in his face
"Good. Good. How are you too?" I said embarrassed.
"Good. Now they I see you" he said. God why this is so embarrassing.
Look, it's not that Mike isn't flirting with me because sometimes I could tell he just stares at me. Especially to my lips. And I just want to kiss him too.
But I can't…
Not after what I promised to El…
So, yeah. Highschool is hell. And I'm here to suffer…
Mike POV
After that accident, things weren't normal as before…
I lost my dad in the ocean and my mom never recover for it…
She's in a hospital now. Me and Nance came to visit her every Sunday.
Lucky us, we were able to come back to our daily life as nothing happened…
But it did happen. So, as I met that person who saved me…
I tried to search for them. Hopping some else saw them when it happened. But nothing…
No one has saw nobody and day after day I thought it was an illusion. A way of my mind to say to me that I did save myself or Nance did but she doesn't remember it…
Even though I heard a voice. It doesn't mean nothing. So I let this go and concentrating myself in another year of high school…
But night after night the memory of a person saving me and holding me came like a nightmare in my dreams. Not a person but it was like one. I sense something like a fish. Who was on top of me. Wetting my jeans. Even though I was already wet from the water. But this not person was wetting me more…
But again, it couldn't be. The only thing I remember clearly of him was his bowl hair.
Like if I saw someone with that haircut I will immediately say "You're my savor" or something like this
"Hey Mike. Are you alright?" asked me Lucas concerned
"Ahm. Yes. Yes man. Sorry I was spacing out or something" I said
"Dude. You don't have to apologized. After what happen. I mean if you need a friend to talk to. You know I'm here, right?" said Lucas
He's really the best.
"Thanks Lucas. I know. Don't worry. I was just thinking about Ms. Clark and how we will survive another Spanish class without Dustin girlfriend" I said. With the hope that Lucas would take it
"Oh man. Don't talk about it. It's really a miracle we passed first year" he said and for a moment I was again in the high school atmosphere. With all those insignificant problems. Talking with my friends and making the pain going away…
Until I saw a guy with a bowl cut, taking the swing alone…
I don't know why my body went to him like nothing else really mattered but the moment I saw him. It was like a sense of familiarity came to my senses and from talking to my best friend Lucas about my problems. I just end up making a new friend on my own.
His name was Will
Will Byers
And he doesn't know but even his voice was so familiar. Like everything about him take me to a home I never even enter yet.
But I couldn't say to him yet…
Neither that when Will Byers came into my life, I start to write songs again but that love song. It will always belong to that creature who save me…
Even though, every time I rethink about them. It's Will that came out of my mind…
