Will's pov
"Hey Will!" Mikes husky voice filled my ears. I felt a small smile creep up on my face as I felt him take the seat next to me,
"Lucas, Max." He nodded towards the couple sat opposite. I couldn't help but notice the change in his tone as he addressed them but nevertheless, I shook the feeling off. I looked over and gave him a warm smile only causing him to return a soft smile. We stayed that way for a second too long causing my cheeks to heat up as I quickly averted my eyes elsewhere. Out of the corner of my eye I could see Mike slowly turning his head away from my direction. I picked up the remaining half of my sandwich which only caused a gasp to escape from Mike's mouth.
"Grilled chicken." He rolled his eyes back letting out a small moan causing me to giggle slowly moving my sandwich away from my mouth.
"Want some?" I smirked stretching my arm out allowing Mike to take the sandwich. As he reached over his fingers traced over mine causing an eruption of butterflies to burst in my stomach. As he took a mouthful he groaned loudly food still hanging out his mouth and as gross as it was, it somehow was still cute.
"Can I have some Willy?" I heard Lucas mock. I stared blankly at him which only made him laugh even harder but thankfully Max softly slapped his arm causing him to shut up. I gave a quick glance at the oblivious Mike who only turned and gave me a goofy ass smile, food STILL hanging out his mouth. However that didn't stop me from giving him the same goofy smile back.
---Time skip---
"Will wait up!" I heard his voice once again call out as I exited the school gates. I slowed down and looked over my shoulder as I felt him jump softly onto me causing me to tumble forward ever so slightly.
"How dare you leave without me." He pouted softly wrapping his arm around my shoulder as he moved to beside me.
"Whaaat, I'd never." I joined in with his childness as we continued walking. This only caused a big smile to make its way onto his face.
"What?" I asked slowing down slightly,
"Nothing." He shook his head the smile still on his face as he continued walking,
"No no, come on tell me!" I chased after him pulling on his arm slightly. He shrugged and began walking faster causing me to groan and speed up until he suddenly stopped only making me stumble into him. I stepped back and noticed we were at my house already.
"Wheeler." I pouted at his secretiveness.
"Byers." He mocked looking me directly in the eyes, his expression blank.
"Why you being so secretive?" I scoffed at my best friend.
"I'm not even-"
"Fine fine, see you tomorrow!" I gave him a sarcastic smile beginning to walk past. I couldn't help but smile as I felt him grab my arm and mumble a wait. Knew it.
"It's just..." He paused, I watched his eyes scan my face going from my eyes to my...lips? No no, he's not looking at my lips - what am I thinking.
"Just..." He paused yet again, it was as if I could hear his heart racing in sync with mine.
"I'll see you tomorrow." he sighed almost in defeat as he forced a smile before turning and walking in the direction of his home.
Wtf was that.
"You need to tell him you know." I jumped at the sudden voice. I turned and saw El leaning against the front door.
"What?" I quizzed walking passed her and into our home.
