loverboys- a byler story

chapter 1 (mikes perspective)

I just simply couldnt believe it, after months of waiting on edge i was going to see the love of my life, El, short for eleven, i also got to see my best friend since kindergarten, Will Byers, he sure is a great guy, and El's the perfect girlfriend and everything i could ever ask for. I spent what felt like a century waiting to leave and another century on the drive up. My parents and sister Holly were going to visit my grandparents while my other sister Nancy and i visited the Byers family. Will had an older brother,Jonathan who Nancy was close with and dating. God theyre gross together,ive heard them when they used to sleepover. I call them '' happy screams''. On the whole drive all i could think of was how estatic id be when i finally got to see El and Will. Something weird kept happening though, ive dated Eleven on and off for almost 3 years and all i used to think about was her face when we werent together and when we were all i could think about was im the happiest guy in the world, in the last few weeks espically leading up to our trip, thats been fading greatly, i want to think about her but will keeps popping in my head, I think its just because we've been friends for so so long and are always there for eachother when we need it most. After hours of yearning to get out of the car, we'd finally arrived. Words couldnt describe my exitement and oddly nervous -ness, my stomach was twisting it knots, butterflies, flying all around in never ending circles. I told my self i was just over excited and it was nothing, until i saw him. Will. It was the same way i felt when i saw El for the first time wearing that blonde wig and pink dress. The feeling lasted not even one second but i felt like this feeling would come on again and in that moment i questioned myself and my sanity. Was I in love with my best friend?
