WILL POV-
Will sat idle in his seat; he didn't know what to think right now "I'm just so confused! Max and El? El and Max?" Muttering as he pulled his hair at the roots "But t-that's not part of the story! D-did the story change?" turning his attention to the two girls sitting near El's seat. They seemed happy cackling loudly while they share a slice of cake.
"Aww El! You're only getting prettier every day" Max bashfully stared at her, resting both arms on the table
"Eh! What are you talking about" El nonchalantly giggled, checking her reflection in her phone to plump her hair
"Well, it's true" The redhead stared longingly, taking a sip of water.
Will sat comfy in his seat staring at the two girls smiling under his hand. At first, he was sad that his favourite ship wouldn't happen but the more time he took to encompass this idea the more he liked it as long as the doe-eyed girl was happy.
"Here!" He forgot about that small problem- Mike Wheeler. Seeing the ravenette slump to the girls slamming a chocolate milk drink on the table
"And what is this?" Max scoffed inspecting the drink.
"It's not for you! It's for El!" Mike spat
"Oh, umm thanks but I don't really wan-" El quietly whispered
"I got it for you, so do what you want with it" The ravenette shrugged
"Oh okay..."El stuttered. She was grateful for the gesture but didn't know what to say as the ravenette trudged back to his desk leaving both girls confused
"Hey asshat! She likes strawberry milk" Max turned her head, slamming the drink down on the table. Mike rolled his eyes slumping into his seat annoyed that the redhead was getting in his way.
"Max do you want it?" El questioned
"Ew no! I don't like sweet drinks! Give it to someone else" Max scrunched her face waving her hands around
"HEY WILL!" El shouted as the brunette pretended as though he wasn't listening to the whole conversation "Do you want this?" she screeched
"B-but Mike gave that to you" Will mumbled
"It's fine I want you to have it! I know you like chocolate" The doe-eyed girl grinned throwing the drink in his direction flying through the air. it narrowly missed Will's head "Hehe sorry" El apologised
"It's fine" Will chuckled "Thanks" he smiled scanning the drink. Who knew he would be so close to the doe-eyed girl only mere days after being brought here. Maybe he could make friends as even Lucas seemed to be warming up to him recently compared to the book in which he could not stand the brunette. But Will somewhat felt bad looking back at the desk in the corner he saw Mike.
"Poor Mike!" He muttered under his breath "Doomed to love El, but she likes someone else". A feeling he knew all too well being a closeted unpopular boy. Ripping open the carton of milk he chugged every last drop. He knew he needed to keep the pair apart so that the ravenette will not end up heartbroken or take away El's joy in the process. Even if he couldn't watch his favourite characters fall in love, he wished to keep both happy even if Mike was being a pain in his backside.
