Crazy Together

Will stumbles back to the lunch table, and almost immediately everyone realises something's terribly wrong as he's grasping his arm and not very responsive to them.

"Will? Are you okay? You're so pale!" Eleven shouts out to him as he sits next to her.

It's muffled to him, and he slowly turns his head to look at her. She notices him grasping his arm, and she pulls on his wrist gently to find that there was a deep slice across it.

She gasps and moves to the side to show Dustin and Lucas, who were already out of their seats trying to help tend to Will.

Maybe.. just maybe if Will hadn't condemned whatever forces had come out of his fingertips to blast five people against a wall, he may not have passed out. Just maybe.

But, then again, he did. And that in itself was draining enough if you hadn't lost a bajillion litres of blood. How did El do it? Oh yeah, right, she got her powers from a lab, Will got his from.. well he didn't quite know that yet.

Definitely not a lab and over ten years of practice, however.

Will tips over, Dustin and Lucas catching him before he falls to the floor. Mike rises out of his seat in extreme concern at the sight before him.

"Will? Will!" He shouts out, and the bell rings.

Everybody files out of the cafeteria, seemingly not realising Will's situation.

Mike helps pick him up and take him to the nurses office, hoping to get his wound tended to and explain why he passed out.

When Will awakens, theres a bright light in his face.

He lets out a breath as he realises that no, he's not in heaven, but that he's in the nurses office and his friends ( especially Mike Wheeler ) are in-fact by his side.

He feels an ice - pack on his forehead, and he sees the school nurse typing away a report on her old - school type writer.

She gets up and looks at him while his friends nervously stand by his side.

"What happened?" He says softly as everything comes back to him, and Mike audibly sighs in relief.

He swallows as he remembers the bathroom incident with Troy and.. oh boy was there a lot to unpack.

"You passed out, honey." She says back to him. "You had a nasty wound on your arm. I don't know what happened but I fixed it up for you, so take it easy. I think you're dehydrated and that's why you passed out.." 'No, I flung a ton of people at the wall with my mind!' Will wants to scream, but he obviously doesn't. "..I've brought you some cold waters to drink and you and your friends can sit in here until school is out. Or you can go home, I don't mind."

Will nods and looks at his friends who clearly want to take him home.

Mike looks at the school - nurse. "We're gonna take him home."

As soon as the party sneaks down to Mike Wheeler's basement, there's multiple questions right when Will plops himself onto the couch.

"What happened?" They say, gesturing to his arm.

He decides to just rip the band - aid off there and be straightforward with it. No beating around the bush. "Troy happened," He says with an annoyed expression, sighing. "He told me to stay away from Mike. Obviously, that's not gonna happen. So.. I said no and he decided he wanted something for it. Aka me to be in pain, I guess."
