Will is woken up the next morning by yet another phone call. he groans, tossing and turning a couple times before finally answering it.

"Hello?"

Will's voice sounds all croaky and weird. He clears his throat and tries again.

"Hello?"

"Hey, Will."

"Hey Dustin! What's up?"

"Want to come over and hang out?"

"Yeah, sure, just give me some time to get ready. I just woke up."

"Okay. But hurry."

"Why?"

"I got something to tell you."

Will thinks for a moment.

"Good or bad?"

"Good. At least, I think it is."

"Will I think it's good?"

"Just hurry."

"Okay. Bye, Dustin."

"Bye, Will."

Will hangs up the phone and lays in bed for a couple seconds to wake himself up.

Finally, he sighs and gets out of bed.

Will sifts through his closet and chooses a plaid red shirt tucked into baige colored jean shorts. He looks in the mirror.

Satisified with his outfit, Will walks out the door and to the kitchen to grab a banana or something like that to eat on the way there.

He half expects his mom to already be up and drinking her morning cup of coffee, but she wasn't up yet. Will shrugs and walks out the door.

On his way there, Will thinks about how the conversation between Mike and Jane could've went. Did he let her down slowly, or quickly, like ripping off a bandaid? Did she cry? Did he cry? A million questions are running through his head by the time he arrives at Dustin's house.

Will parks his bike next to Dustin's garage and knocks on the door.

Dustin's mom is the one who answers.

"Oh hi, Will!" she says.

"Hello, Mrs Henderson."

"Dustin!" She shouts loudly, making Will jump. "Will is here!"

"Coming, mom!" He yells back.

Dustin barrels down the stairs and to the front door.

"Hey, Will."

"Hi, Dustin."

Dustin motions for Will to come in.

Will takes his shoes off by the door and then follows Dustin to his room. Dustin sits on his bed and Will sits on the floor.

Dustin grins.

"What?" Will asks.

"I have something to tell you," Dustin says.

"What is it?" Will asks.

"I like someone."

"Really? You haven't liked someone since middle school."

"Yeah. But there's one tiny problem."

"Hm?"

"She's kind of taken..."
