Insomnia Boys BYLER

Chapter 1

TW HOMOPHOBIC SLURS

Will byers, A smaller boy sat against a chain fence. He was drawing in a sketchbook. A bouquet of flowers, Will was in his own little world. But that was soon ruined.

A paper ball hit his cheek, Falling to his side. The crumbled paper read, "Will Byers is a faggot" He glanced up at the group of boys who had thrown it.

Crushing the paper back into a ball Will walked away, Throwing the note into the bin along the way. He could hear the snickering of children behind him. "Assholes." He muttered.

Recently Will Byer's Insomnia had gotten a lot worse, He knew it was connected to stress. His mother and Brother were rarely home, To busy working. And his bullying was getting worse, Making his life hell. Not only was he always tired but he was angry.

Before Will could get up the stairs fully a boy came running, His hair being blown back by the wind.

The taller boy had rosy cheeks, Freckles across his face, Dark curls that seemed to bounce every step he took, And he wore a stripped shirt with a brown jacket over.

The boy came crashing into Will. His book bag flying out of his hands and falling near the woods.

"SHIT! I'M SO SORRY MAN!" The taller boy yelled, He pushed himself up quickly and offered a hand towards Will.

Will didn't say anything, He took the boys hand and just nodded.

"I'm Mike wheeler, Sorry again man.." The boy, who was now known as Mike said. His nose was pink due to the cold air.

"It's okay.." Will spoke up, Awkwardly smiling at Mike. "I'm Will Byers." He muttered fixing his jacket.

The new boy smiled back before running off. He threw his book bag over his shoulder and darted to the parking lot.

"Weirdo.." Will mumbled.

——
Mike Wheeler, A tall but lanky boy laid his curly head on his desk. Little doodles drawn all over the it. Some by him, Others by bullies.

Super hero's, Ghosts, and little things similar had been drawn by mike but the Slurs, Insults, and death wishes were drawn by bullies.

"KILL YOURSELF FROG FACE" in sharpie was over his recent doodles. Mike had been sitting here all year making it a target for the rude kids. There was even one of what was supposed to be Mike and a horribly drawn knife through his head.

He rarely read the notes, He just napped on the desk and when he wasn't, he doodled. They weren't good by any means but they passed the time.

Mikes eyes shot open. The air smelled of stale chips and shoes.

He grumbled and slowly grabbed his things, His brown eyes glanced at the window. Noticing it was dark outside he put two & two together. He had slept through his last period and clubs were now coming to end.

"Moms gonna kill me." He muttered, Once he got outside of the classroom he ran towards the door. The stale air disappeared once he opened the doors.

But there slowly walked a brown haired boy. His eyes glued to Mike, Both knew what was happening but neither could stop it.

"SHIT! I'M SO SORRY MAN!" Mike yelled. His book bag had been thrown to the edge of the woods when he crashed into the boy.

Mike quickly got himself standing, He offered a hand to the shorter boy. He slowly took his hand and stood up, Not saying a word but nodding.

"I'm Mike Wheeler, Sorry again man.." Mike said, His cheeks/nose were getting pinker due to the freezing air and the cute boy in front of him.

"It's okay.." The boy spoke, He awkwardly smiled at Mike. "I'm Will Byers." He muttered, Will fixed his jacket.

Mike smiled back at the brown haired boy, Running off to grab his bag and than darting to the parking lot.

He needed to get home. quickly.
