WILL POV-

---- 7:47 PM ----

The group -excluding Lucas and Mike- sat in Will's cabin, in silence; it was almost as though they were put under citizen arrest. It was scary for them not knowing the consequences, but considering Lucas and Mike where the ones involved, they all assumed it would be treated differently than other student fights.

The boys continued fighting for a few minutes before being eventually broken up by teachers rushing in; Mike was lucky almost punching a teacher but missing. Will remained thankful; if that punch connected causing grave damage, who knows what the situation could've escalated to.

Lucas on the other hand, separated from James as soon as the teachers arrived. The athletic boy knew his limits and if he continued any further; the result would not have been pretty. And with his rage; it was better to comply before his emotions completely took over.

The small boy sighed, since none of them knew the level of beaten Troy and James were, they couldn't determine a punishment: A few small bumps and bruises might be let off with a slap on the wrist, but broken noses and fractured knuckles calls for strict disciplinary measures.

"Come on guys!" Dustin broke the void "Why are we all moping around?"

"We aren't moping" El remarked massaging her feet and cursing her high heels.

"Really?" The curly haired boy placed both hands on his hips "There are funerals with better moods then this"

"Well how about we buy some ice cream?" Will shrugged proposing the only idea that came to mind

"Aren't we under house arrest?" Max retorted

"Umm... I don't think so" Dustin sounded unsure placing a finger to his lips to ponder.

"Wait what?" The redhead's eyes widened "We aren't?" raising her hands in the air letting them dramatically hit the bed.

Will and Dustin stood up from Mike's bed walking to the exit "Me and Dustin are gonna get the ice creams" announcing across the room "You two stay here for Mike and Lucas" to the pair still sitting unmoving on the bed.

"Why are we on babysitting duty?" El retorted

"Do you want to pay for the ice cream then?" The brunette mocked

"Nope!" The doe-eyed girl shook her head

"Okay then! We're leaving now!" Will notified

"See you girls!" Dustin waved shutting the door behind him watching the two girls' wave back yelling the flavours they wanted and with which toppings

"Are you actually paying for the ice creams?" The curly haired boy walked fast to keep up with the brunette

"Yes I am! Why did you wanna make a contribution?" Will mocked

"I can pay for half if you w-" Dustin suggested serious

"Its fine! I was gonna pay for them all anyway" The small boy cut off rolling his eyes, he almost felt as though it was his duty to pay for the ice-creams after all he caused today. It weighed heavy on his conscience making him quieter than he usually was as they trot across the path toward the ice cream stall surrounded by other students. The pair stood in line not a word uttered between them.
