#evemables

who the hell was this girl? heather swore she knew her, but… from years ago. almost as if in a dream. she was grateful that her tinted shades obstructed her view since she was literally staring directly at the girl. but without her eyes being seen, it appeared as if she was simply monitoring over the pool. but this girl… yes. high school. suddenly dread overtook her as she was hit with the sudden memory of one of her ‘close friends’ talking down on the girl. why the hell was the word ‘marbles’ coming back to her memory as well? guilt flooded through her, and she considered going over to make amends before she saw billy exit through the locker room. she sighed; another shift over. as she climbed out of the chair, heather made a vow to herself to eventually fix what had been broken those years ago.

the pool seemed to be one of the safest bets in town for el to visit. despite how crowded it could get, people tended to only pay attention to themselves, so they never noticed her. especially if she wore hopper’s sunglasses and fishing hat. anywhere else, she would’ve stuck out like a sore thumb, but thankfully not here. even now, as she waited for mike to finish changing so they could go to the movies, el simply sat at a table and ate an ice cream sandwich, though her eyes were locked on one specific person. a girl, who seemed much calmer than the rest of the crowd. she fascinated el, enough for her gaze to remain locked on her as she simply watched her interact with her surroundings so gently. it was interesting, and different for this town; el would have to keep an eye on her.
