WILL POV-
---- Tuesday 5:04 PM ----
"Shit!" Mike stumbled almost tripping on a random tree branch. Considering it was the middle of the day, the shades of the trees casted the woods appearing to be night. Even though they have been searching together for over an hour; it was getting boring as they look for clues all over the place with minimal interaction. Will didn't even know what he could say to Mike; their relationship was rocky at best, sometimes they got on like a house on fire while other times it was unstable.
They found most of the items and with only a few left Will led the two.
"Have you ever been here before?" The ravenette spat
"Nope!" Will smirked "It's my first time" the boy knew where all the items were hidden; it was in the comic. He understood the clues but getting to them was the difficult part. The items were held in memorable places under abnormally shaped rocks or dressed up trees. The clue always led them where to go but Mike kept being a diva, huffing every time the small boy was able to find a clue and he wasn't.
Mike, being the second smartest boy in class behind Lucas was annoyed when Will- the boy who used to be as dumb as a rock, instantly found the items he couldn't. It annoyed him that he couldn't find a single one; sure, Will was giving him ample time to think them through but the ravenette still held a grudge.
"Then how do you know so well where the items are hidden?" Mike scoffed
"Luck I guess" Will lied, it was fun messing with Mike. He giggled under his breath shining his flashlight on the surrounding trees; It was fairly dark so the flashlights helped but useless, feeling like it came from a happy meal. The small boy's flashlight stuttered randomly shutting and switching back on "Should I be scared?" He mumbled under his breath as Mike followed a few feet behind.
"It seems like you have this whole thing planned out..." The tall boy spoke breaking the uncomfortable silence "I guess I'm not really needed here then"
"Don't be so dramatic" The small boy rolled his eyes annoyed of Mike's constant pouting but said nothing more to keep the peace taking a few steps forwards.
Suddenly, Mike shifted "Why don't you do this by yourself then?"
"What?" Will stopped in his tracks turning his body around
"This scavenger hunt" Mike spat "Since you know everything; perhaps you should find the rest by yourself"
"Why are you acting like that now?" The small boy whined, not wanting any further confrontation
"Like what?" Mike sarcastically questioned
"An asshole!" Will blamed
"What did you just call me?" the ravenette puffed up stepping increasingly closer to Will, the leaves rustling under his feet.
"Like I tried to be understanding since it seems like you were so sweet in the comic, I thought maybe you were a big softie pretending to be tough; but when the only person you are nice to is El it's hard to think so!" The small boy argued
"What? That's just not true" Mike didn't understand what Will was rambling about, comic? El?
"Really because it seems like you sometimes decide to be nice to me and them other times you hate me!" Will explained venting his frustrations that seemingly came out of nowhere; all the feelings of anger he felt over the confusing past week had to come out eventually and just so happened to be Mike "I've changed and I'm sorry you cant see that" huffing and crossing his arms
