Basketball Team Pt 2

Mikes POV:

Will gets off the phone. I really liked Will to be honest. He was different than everyone else. He didn't seem like most of my friends or anyone else he was just himself. As we start to walk home I ask him a question. It's a question I ask a lot. Mostly because I'm not familiar with a lot of it yet.

"Hey Will." I say.

"Yeah?" He responded.

"So this might be a weird question but it's only because I didn't really grow up with it being normal so I'm just curious buuuuuuut, are you a homosexual or anything like that?" I ask Will.

"I know that sounds super off putting but it's just i'm curious." I say awkwardly. I knew Will was straight but maybe there was a slight chance he was gay. I don't know why i'm hoping he's gay. He just seemed like that type of person.

"Um. Isn't your family homophobic?" He asks.

"I'm not. I don't care." I say calmly.

"Well I guess then I can only tell you. Yes I am gay. But please Mike don't assume that every single man I see I wanna run up to them and makeout or whatever." He laughs nervously.

"No I wouldn't assume that." I smile. I talk about my family more. Then we almost get to my house.

"Oh and by the way my sister likes girls. So I don't care." I say.

"She had enough of boys?" He asks.

"After Steve, things turned into bullshit." I laugh. Will smiled and walked along with me. We get to my door and I knock. Mom answers with Holly by her side.
"Will? It's so nice to see you! Last time I saw you were were about Holly's age." She smiles.

"Wasn't it for a party with my Mom or something?" Will asks. Im surprised Will and Mom already know each other since him and I just met today.

"Come on in. Mike and you can go downstairs and watch something. Mike I bought a couple movies I thought you would like." She says to Will.

"What movies?" I ask.

"Back to the Future, Star Wars. Go look for yourself." She smiles.

We go downstairs and I check out all the movies.

"Did your mom buy these or rent them?" Will asked.

"Bought em. It's just easier and we can watch em whenever." I said as I sat by him. Not too close but good enough.

"Oh to be rich." Will smiled.

I don't know why but in that moment I felt a bit confused. Butterflies?

"Huh?" I ask Will.

He smiles again, "You would be scared to come over to my house, beer cans, pencils, paper, ripped walls, christmas lights still hung up. Trashy. Please don't be worried though. It's not gross it's just as if a single mother had a lot on her shoulders. My mom isn't single but she's considering it. She hates my dad and so does My brother and I. He is an ass hole." Will says in a serious dark tone. I wasn't bothered with Will spilling tea about his family. I was just confused about the lights.

"Why do you have christmas lights? If your comfortable to answer." I say as we inch closer to each other.

"Well basically a lot happened when I was about 12? Maybe even 11. I was known as the zombie kid which you've probably heard about. It's crazy. Like everyone's mind was flipped upside down. They had no clue where I was or how to find me. And guess who found me? My mom and the sheriff. Hopper's pretty incredible." Will smiles and laughs a bit.

"Dang you were in some deep shit." I laugh as I slap Will's arm slightly.

He laughs a bit and while he laughs he says something.

"Yeah my mom and him kinda fell in love trying to find me which is kinda funny." He smiles.

"Mike, have you ever been in love?" Will says as I freeze.

OK OK OK OK OK. PART 3 WILL BE THE LAST PART HOPEFULLY. AHHHHH
