AFTER THAT, THINGS CHANGED.eleven stopped hanging around you as much as she got closer with mike.and i mean
closer.anytime you saw the two now they were snogging, tounges inch deep down each others throat.of course, you were overjoyed for your sister, but certainly now that her and mike are closer, you are pretty much out of the picture.instead of hanging out with eleven like usual, you were being forced to sit out in the lounge room with hopper, who was equally, or even more so unhappy about the situation.the others had all noticed how you stuck less around eleven than before, they could see it too. eleven and mike stopped hanging around them as much due to them always going off together without the rest of them.what was even worse, was that dustin had been off at camp all summer.so your mood had been greatly dampened, sometimes you didn't even bother to hang out with the rest of them, sometimes you only went for will because he was the only one left without a boyfriend or girlfriend.but lucky for you, today was the day dustin was supposed to be coming back.you wanted to contact him, but they all told you no, they all said how you were going to surprise him, so you shrugged and accepted.that's how you all ended up at dustin's house right now, hiding around the corner as dustin and his mum enter the house.dustin goes to his room and eleven uses her powers to control some of his toys, you smile toothily, fangs shining."now" mike whispers and eleven stops her powers suddenly, the toys stopping.you all step cautiously around the corner, making no noise.lucas holds up a sign reading 'welcome home dustin!'you pat down your pink dress wit white floral patterns, your white flats stepping noiselessly against the tiled ground.
all putting party noise things in your mouth, you watch dustin as he crouches by his now unmoving toys.all stepping behind him, max holds up her fingers '1, 2, 3'after three, you all blow into the party noise things.dustin screams, spinning around and spraying some kind of hairspray right into lucas's eyes.you all tumble back, slightly shocked.you snort behind your hand, shoulders shaking.max escorts lucas to the sink to wash his eyes out, the rest of you follow behind dustin and watch as he shows off his new inventions.you could hear some screaming from the kitchen, making you sweat-drop."i call it.. the forever clock" dustin grins, spinning the handle of some wind-mill looking item."powered by wind, very useful in the apocalypse"he hands it to you, turning back to his bag again.you sweat-drop, but put on an impressed smile, not wanting to hurt dustin's feeling.eleven hugs mikes arm, looking down at the invention."i give you.. the slammer"dustin shows a hammer with a bunch of tape and other things.he presses a button and it starts to shake slightly.he moves it closer to eleven and mike who both step away slightly.he chuckles proudly, "pretty neat, huh?"you just nod wordlessly."but this.."you spin the lever of the wind-mill thing, eyeing it curiously beside will, who also looked at it."this is my masterpiece"you look down at the blue and yellow bag dustin was holding, he plops it on the ground with a grunt, you all crouch down to look at it."i would like you.. to meet.. cerebro" he grins, you tilt your head."what exactly are we looking at here?" mike questions."an unassembled one-of-a-kind battery-powered radio tower" he beams, you just blink."so, it's a... a ham radio" will says."the cadillac of ham radios" dustin grins toothily, showing how his teeth are still yet to grow in."this baby carries a crystal-clear connection over vast distances. i'm talkin' north pole to south. i can talk to my girlfriend whenever and wherever i choose"you stumble back immediately, falling on the ground."girlfriend?" they all question, flabbergasted.dustin nods with a grin.you purse your lips a bit.of course you were happy for him.i mean, he was upset about max and all that, but a part of you couldn't help but feel worried, jealous.no, you didn't have feelings for dustin, but he was still your best friend.you were worried that now that he has a girlfriend, he won't hangout with you as much.you're already struggling with not hanging out with eleven as much and if the same was to happen for dustin, you don't know what you'd do.but you'd never voice your worries, not wanting dustin to feel bad just because you're a bit worried.so you'll hold your worries in about dustin and his girlfriends just like you do for mike and eleven, even if it pains you.
