Lime Eyes - Eleven Hopper + Max Mayfield

Chapter 1: MADMAX

October 29, 1984

LILIANA

It smells shit today, Eleven went missing and I don't know what happened to me on that night. After the events of the Demogorgon evaporating in my eyes, I went to the Upside Down. And see that I survived, without Eleven beside me.

I have adjusted since going to the Upside Down. For a brief, I returned back to the Rightside Up. And no report of me was declared. "Byers found, Harrington lost,". I am not friends with the Party. And I never was, except for Will Byers, who now I am friends with him since his return.

The other girl, Charlotte I believe. Lives with the Byers in the meantime. Goes to Hawkins Middle, but she is not as annoying as say the boys.

How come did I survive in the Upside Down. And Eleven didn't, maybe she is not dead. Because it felt strange for me. Ever since, I went to my walkie-talkie and communicated with Eleven. To find evidence that somehow. She is still out there, hiding.

I left and went to the bathroom, washed with my face. Get my hair fixed up and left the bedroom. With my red jacket, and running shoes. Tory and Steve are at the table eating waffles. I looked at them, and I took a seat beside them.

"Lili, are you in a rush?"

Steve asks me, maybe.

"No, well. Because it is training week, again,"

I said, because our team from Hawkins Middle won the Open in Florida. There are more opportunities given to me, the next will be in Montreal, around late January.

"Okay, training week. So we have to get early now,"

Tory says from the other side, drinking a cup of tea.

"Tory, you do that in the morning. I thought you did that at night?"

"It depends, but I ate a lot this morning. You know,"

She said, I grabbed two of the waffles and eat it hurriedly. After breakfast, I grabbed my bike. Steve and Tory are in the car. We closed our house and left for school. Passing by the Wheeler and Sinclair houses. Both of the boys I cut ties again because of their attitude.

I arrive at Hawkins Middle, go to the lockers. I checked mine, grabbed things I need for the whole day. Looked out the hallway and see Dustin, staring at me with those weird eyes. I ignored his smile and went to Mr. Gursky's class. 

As I sit down, he gives us another pop quiz. Something regular in his class, took in with the 15-item quiz. Later submitted to the teacher, left the class for the preparation of my training. I gave an excuse, I mean the whole athletic team is excused for most of the afternoon. Seeing Dustin throwing a piece of paper over my head.

I grabbed it and threw it in the trash can.

I am biking around the school, sometimes passing by Steve's and Tory's classes in the afternoon. It was a training and Coach Gasby told me to bring the track team as well. Some cooperative training involved with them. Then I think Ella, my music classmate and fellow athlete from the swimming team.
