new boy

will sighed, tossing and turning in the (way too) warm bed. he eventually sighed, sitting up and his eyes darting to his journal that sat across from the bed at his windowsill. he stood up as his pajamas stuck to his sweaty body. a frown engraved on his lips, snatching the book, along with a pencil, and walked back to his hot ass bed.

he sat down, a loud creak coming with, and groaned, opening the journal and going through the pages.

he remembered the first day he got this book.

"will byers — january 5th, 1984. mike mike mike. i love him. hes so nice to me and hes so tall and handsome"- next.

he had soon gotten over that stupid crush, seeing as mike had a girlfriend and he forced himself to not sit in pity everytime his new "sister" was around. surely he had warmed up to her, right?! wrong. he kind of, sort of, hates her.

not knowing why, he just.... despises her.

will opened to a fresh page, knocking out those annoying thoughts of the almost brunette girl.

"will byers — april 17th, 1985.
there's a new student coming tomorrow. well, today, since it's 4am right now... i've been having trouble sleeping recently. insomnia? possibly. from all the trauma, you know. my mom loves to try and help me sleep but nothing seems to be working. anyway, i should probably TRY and sleep. i'm excited to see who the new person will be. i hope they're nice.

- will. "

will laid back, shutting the journal with the pencil still in, and shoved it in his side-table drawer. he sighed, once more, turning to face the wall and forcing his eyes shut. he sang his favorite song, 'Should I Stay or Should I Go' by 'The Clash' until he finally drifted into a deep sleep.

— 🪦 —

so much for deep sleep.

only three hours later was when his alarm went off. will rolled his eyes, wanting to cry. he was SO tired, and his mom would offer for him to stay home today, but he desperately wanted to meet the new kid. he couldn't let them get bullied, plus he wanted new friends anyway.

so will let one tear of anger slip before throwing off his blanket and beginning to get ready for the day.

— 🪦 —

will rode his bike to school, such as every other day, this time with a smile on his face. he couldn't wait to meet the new student, which was weird considering he never spoke to anyone at school.

"hey will!" el called as will pulled up to the bike rack. he rolled his eyes, "hey el." he mumbled angrily. he tried brushing off her presence by hooking up his bike and walking away which left el confused, but she forgot about it by the time lucas max and mike showed up. mike sighed, noticing will walking in alone... again. he never waited for them anymore. in fact, he completely avoided them all throughout the day. he ate lunch in the bathroom, sat far away from them in class, and sped away when they said his name. mike just frowned as he turned back to el, who had clung on to him after he locked up his bike.

— 🪦 —

"alright class, welcome our new student at hawkins high: mr. benny loveheart." speaking of loveheart, oh my god. will had fallen in love, it seemed like. he was drop dead gorgeous. will's jaw was practically on the floor; he was so pretty!

'benny' smiled at will from the front of the class.

benny had fallen in love at first sight, he thought. wowzah that boy is cute! benny decided he'd sit with him as soon as he could. "go ahead and sit down, kiddo." the teacher smiled to the curly haired boy. to which benny smiled back and did so, making a bee line towards will.

"hi, i'm benny." he whispered, sitting down. "him- i mean hi! i'm will." he smiled awkwardly, with two bright red cheeks. benny giggled, looking back to the teacher as will covered his face in embarrassment.

yep, definitely in love.

— 🪦 —

the end of the day
"hey will, was it?" benny said with a cute smile as he walked up to the boy. "uh, yes." will smiled back, shutting his locker as his backpack became wet from his back sweat. will cringed at the feeling but immediately went back to a warm smile. "cute- i mean cool. i, uh.. was um, wondering if maybe we could hangout? like after school." his cheeks red as strawberries, will immediately nodded. "oh! yeah, definitely! i uh would love to."

benny sighed in relief, "awesome." the bell went off, signaling they could now leave. "well, let's go! i wanna show you something." he smirked, making will laugh, "alright.."

max and mike watched the two walk out of the building. mike felt the anger in him rise. jealousy. he groaned, rushing over to the two as max tried stopping him, knowing his feelings.

"mike- mike no!" she yelled quietly, not to draw attention to herself.

"aw hey willy. who's this?" mike smirked, wrapping his arm over his shoulder. "benny. he's new. go away mike." will said through gritted teeth, "hm.. nice. hi benny. i'm mike. will's friend." will rolled his eyes and coughed uncomfortably. "nice to meet you, mike." he said with a smile. "a pleasure." mike rolled his eyes. "mike. go. away." will said, stoping their walk. mike groaned angrily. "why, will?! we haven't hung out in months! me and the rest of the party miss you, dude. we miss you." mike said, almost teary eyed. he'd never let anyone see him cry. "mike just go away, alright?! please!" he shouted, pushing him slightly. mike gasped quietly, as will sighed, wiping the single tear that fell from his eye. mike let a few tears fall as he turned around and rushed to the bathroom. he turned around and smiled at benny, who gulped uncomfortably. "sorry.. he's an, uh.. old friend." he chuckled. benny nodded, as they continued walking. "so, where are we going?" will smiled. "you'll see." benny smiled back.

coming soon:
"but will-" "NO mike! fuck you! i'm done. i cant believe you would do that." "i said i'm sorry..." mike cried, sobbed actually. "that DOESNT CHANGE ANYTHING MICHAEL!" will screamed. mike gasped, backing up a bit.
