HAWKINS|2022
“Come on Will.You have to do it!!You can’t keep it forever.”
“Max is right,Will.You should go for it.You likes him for how long now?”El said.
“…for 4-5 years…but what if he doesn’t like me back??I will literally ruin our friendship!!!”
“Well then Wheeler is stupid,which is actually nothing unusual actually,and doesn’t know what is good for him.”Max say
“Beside with what I see him doing always…yeah he is gay as fuck and trust me he for sure like you back!!10000%”Max said with stupid knowing smile
“Okay,okay…”Will said and sigh before continuing
“I will ask him him to hang out together after school…and then I will confess…but don’t get your hopes up too much you two”
“Yeyyyy!!You two will be just cute couple!!”El said happily
“Yeah.But I still think you can do much better than Wheeler.I mean seriously him??You can do so much better honestly…but whatever make you happy I guess”Max said
Will is not even surprised.Max and Mike always have,ever since they met 3 years ago,act like they hate each other but the truth is they care for each one even if they won’t admit it to anyone.Which Will is pretty sure give siblings vibe…even tho Will is not like that with El and Jon but everyone is different he guess.And beside 3/4 of the siblings are like Max and Mike so it more likely El,Will and Jon are the rare ones or whatever
“Yeah yeah let’s not get our hopes up,okay??Not until we know for sure.Now let’s change the topic”
Will said and turn to El quickly and interested
“So El how was your date with that Liam guy??Tell us everything!!!”
“Well it went very good.He came to get me,just like you know Will since you saw him at the door,and give me very pretty flowers in my favourite colours.I didn’t think he will remember me mentioning my favourites colour being purple and yellow but I guess he did”
“Owww.That is so cute El”Will said
“Yeah that is good of him.Maybe for now I will accept him but he still need to prove himself if you decide to go on more dates with him or have something more with him”Max said
“Well he was very nice and act like gentleman and listen to me and remembered everything I told him even If I was lil rambling and we shared same interests…so I guess he is very cute so…Im thinking on going on second date with him”
“That is amazing El!!Im very happy for you.You deserve someone who treats you right”Will said happy about his sister
He and El may not be blood related but even since Hopper and Joyce start dating and introduced El to Will and Jon,they immediately became close.Then they met and Max and the three of them become
today inseparable trio
“Well let’s play something!Lets not only talks about stupid boys and have fun!!Lets see what to play..”
Max said and think what to play when she get idea and look at her two besties
“Lets play true or dare!!It will be fun.What you think??”
“Well yeah Im fine with whatever you guys want”Will said
“Lets play!!It will be for sure fun…especially with Max here.The queen of funny and embarrassing dares”
El said and jokes while chucking but then they start playing.
The trio start playing each one asking and doing dares or saying things they have to at the ‘truth’.Soon it get late,like 3am and they decide to go to sleep(Max is at sleepover at Will and El house)since they have school tomorrow and for Will…it will be big day…he will finally confess to the boy he love ever since they were 10 years olds…Will will finally found out if Mike like him back or if Will totally ruined their friendship…or maybe Will will be lucky and Mike will rejects him but still will wanna be friend with Will…whatever.Will should stop overthinking everything always… After some more minutes of thinking all possible way of what will happen tomorrow after he confesses he closes his eyes let himself fall asleep

Will also had sleepover with El and Max and tell them about the dates and how amazing it was.El was super happy for him.Of course Max was also very happy for Will but still tell him that he can do better than Wheeler.
Will just roll his eyes playful when she says that and jokes back somehow.
At school
Will is at his locker.Next to him are El and Max.
“Guys.Im telling you not to go to this movie.Im reading a lot of hate comments for it.People are saying how that part is the worst of all.People are literally complaining how part4 was super disappointing.”
“Oh come on Will.Im sure it can’t be that bad!!Im sure people are just overreacting or something like that.How can the part4 was that bad??I have hope in it until I see it”
“Fine.But when you disappointed you will see I was right”
“Yeah yeah”
“Guys guys.Lets end this conversation.You two are talking about it all day and its lil annoying Im sorry.”
“Okay okay”
Will get his stuff for his next class and closed his locker
“So did you guys heard there will be party that Friday.It will be at Ryan’s house and we have to go for sure!!!”
“I don’t know Max.Im not much of a party person…”Will said unsure
“Oh come on Will pleaseee”
“Yeah Will we will be there.Im sure if we invite Mike there he will happily also come so.You won’t be alone!!”
“….Fine…I will ask Mike to come too.And Max please try not too fight Mike too much or even kill him”
“Im not promising anything and you know it.Beside its not my fault he is stupid as fuck and make me want to punch him sometimes!!”
“You two are impossible.”
“Guys.Can you wait for me.Im need to go to the toiler.”
“Yeah of course El.Go.We still have a few minutes before the bell ring.But hurry because I do not want to be late for mrs.Harlow.She is the devil herself”Max said and hold the stuff El give her as El went in the bathroom
“Oh shit yes we have class with her.I hate her.Like why is she so mean.Like we didn’t do anything to deserve it.”
“She is probably so sour because her husband can’t satisfy her enough or something.That why she also has flirt with a kid’s father a few weeks ago”
“Max!!!First, eww.Second, you know that was rumor that we didn’t know if it was right or not…and third honestly you probably right about the husband part”Will said
“Whatever.I honestly think the rumor was true.You know that she and her husband has divorced a few days ago right??”
“Wait what???No I didn’t.And beside how tf do YOU know that???”
“Okay well I heard that from Allison who has heard that from James who has heard that from his girlfriend Vickie who has heard that from Monica who has heard that from Kayla who has seen Mrs Harlow and her husband after school arguing and the topic about divorce has been brought and also something about cheating so”
“No way”
“Yes way”
“Well that actually explains why Mrs.Harlow has been more sour lately.And that kinda can confirm the rumors maybe.But still.Wow.You have to totally tell this El when she come back from the bathroom”
“Tell me what?”El said confused as she opened the bathroom door and walk out the bathroom
“About the drama with Mrs.Harlow”
“Oh drama??Tell me now.I wanna know it”
The bell rang which means the start of classes
“Oh shit we have to hurry!!”
After school
Will walk out of school and said bye to El and Max as they left and Will walk to Mike who was waiting for him outside the school so they can hang out after school and go have ice cream
“Hey”
“Hey”
Will hug Mike wrapping his arms around the taller boy neck as Mike wrap his arms around Will waist
“Well lets go.I want to get ice cream already!!”
“Okay okay.Whatever you want,baby”
Will froze for moment and blushes hard
“Aw.So cute all red like that.Cute”
“Shut up”
“No”
Will and Mike went to the mall and get themselves ice creams and sit together on table there to eat their ice creams
“So.I was wondering if you want to come with me,El and Max to Ryan’s house party.It will be this Friday so?”
“Ryan’s house?”
“Yeah…you don’t have to if you don’t want to of course”
“No no its fine.I will come.Can one friend of mine come too…??His name is Lucas.You will like him I promise”
“Yeah yeah.Its fine.I will like to meet him”
“Yeah.Cool”
“Cool”
They both smile and look at each others for moment but soon break their eye contact and continue to eat their ice creams
Soon they both start talking again and Will tell Mike the drama with Mrs.Holway as Mike tell others dramas he know that Will doesn’t.They both talk and eat ice cream while holding their hands under the table
Mike make some awful jokes that not even funny actually but Will still chuckles at them since they are Mike’s jokes so that make them more funny that any other jokes Will has heard before
They spend the rest of their date walking around the mall,playing some video games at the arcade which Will win most of them(because Mike was actually too caught in Will beautiful eyes,his red lips,his cute lil moles and his beautiful smile that Will always make when he wins.So don’t blame Mike for letting Will win since he likes seeing Will smiling beautiful and happily
