Summary
El Hopper: beautiful, sweet, and instantly one of the most popular girls in the Hawkins’ High junior class when she moves there after her dad takes the job of Police Chief for the small town. Mike Wheeler: king of the nerds, A/V club president, and completely invisible to girls.
Naturally, Mike notices the new girl - how can he not when she’s the most beautiful girl he’s ever seen in his entire short life? But she’s so far out of his league, it’s not even worth dreaming about. So it’s completely and utterly confusing to him when El takes a lot more than a polite interest in him.
El, for her part, is instantly smitten with the cute nerd with gorgeous eyes, adorable freckles, and the most beautiful smile she’s ever seen. No one understands when she decides to pursue him, especially not the popular kids, but it’s harder than she bargained for to get Mike to trust her, to let her into his heart. Guess it’s a good thing she’s as persistent as she is popular, isn’t it?

Summary
'...she was finding more and more that self-awareness was a double-edged sword. She’d always comprehended that she was different than her peers, but the more time she spent in the world, the more she felt the gap between herself and others widening - it was expansive, now, and uncrossable. That knowledge made her ache.
For one brief moment of insanity, she wanted to scream, “It doesn’t matter!”
Nothing she did would ever bridge that gap.'
Time forces El to confront her trauma, and no one is prepared for the fallout.
Updates Wednesday and Sunday.

Summary
For her eighteenth birthday, El has decided that she wants to get her ‘011’ tattoo covered up, but she can’t seem to settle on a new design. The party’s ideas suck for the most part, but when Mike nervously suggests she get the word ‘promise’ written over the ink, El can’t help but find it a perfect fit. Only thing is, she wants him to do it, too.
“You have to do it, too, Mike.”
“Since when?”
“Since ‘promise’ is our thing, and it was your idea.” El tells him, and she pulls one leg up beneath her, chin resting on her knee, “You have to promise.”
