Will's POV:

As Jane skipped gleefully next to him, he couldn't help but ask, "Why did you agree to the party? You hate parties"
Jane stopped and looked at him , "Will, we need to make a good impression and a party is the best way to meet new people!" she exclaimed intertwining her arm in his and dragging him along the road till she abruptly stopped at the house next to theirs'.
Will hadn't noticed it on his walk to school but it was extremely grand and had two stories unlike their own, as he looked at the house his eyes fell onto the door where Mike was standing awkwardly at the waving at them.

Jane giggled which shocked Will too his core, he had never heard that kind of sound come out his sisters mouth and he thought about it as he was dragged up the path by the strong grip of his sister.
"Hey Mike" Jane said grinning from ear to ear,
"Hey guys! Your mom is Joyce right?" Mike asked
"Yeah, why?" Will answered
"Well, uh, my mom made her a welcome to the neighbourhood casserole but she, uh isn't home right now so can I come over and give it to her?"
"Oh um well, she's not home right now but you can wait at our house".

As Will watched Mike observe his home he almost felt embarrassed about how empty and small it was compared to his,
"Sorry it's a mess"
"N-no! It's very nice!" Mike stuttered
"Thanks, you can wait here if you want!" Jane exclaimed she said pointing towards the lumpy couch that sat sadly in the middle of the empty room.
Will sat down next to Mike and Jane, their knees touching as he did so, in uncomfortable silence, for at least 10 minutes until a voice broke the silence.
"Kids! Im home!" Joyce exclaimed entering the room "Oh hello! Are you Will and Jane's new friend?"
"Oh, hey Ms Byers, I live next door, my mom made you a welcome-to-the-neighbourhood casserole"
"Oh! Well tell her I say thank you very much" Joyce said taking it from his hands.

"So, uh, I should probably go now, see you guys tomorrow at school!" Mike said abruptly standing up and looking back a forth between them
"Bye Mike!"
"Bye"
"Bye Ms Byers!" he hollered as he closed the door
"He seemed like a nice boy" Joyce said after a moment of quiet.
