WILL POV-
---- 7:26 PM ----
"Do you think this is a real flower?" The brunette questioned pointing at the vase in the middle of the table; the cafeteria was nothing like one pictured in traditional camping trips. It was attractively decorated with earthy tones: browns, and greens to resonate the outdoors complimenting an aura of calm as the sage green created a peaceful environment. Although, this degree of extravagance was expected from the comic, the students were from some of the wealthiest families in America; no clue why they lived in Indiana though...
"What do you mean?" Mike cut him out his thoughts
"I mean is the flower real...?" Will repeated "I don't know how to make it any clearer" to a shrugging ravenette
Mike and Will sat in the cafeteria for dinner; the rest of the group scattered around the area, too caught up with different activities to indulge themselves with food in this current moment. Will's stomach rumbled, hungry from all the movement he endured today looking down at his burger and fries licking his lips; he would be lying if he said the food didn't appear appetizing but refrained himself, making an oath to his friends while the ravenette munched beside him, like a cow eating cud.
The small boy waved to Dustin in line to buy Lucas's food knowing the athletic boy would be absent for a while, sorting miscategorised paperwork in the cabins; it must be difficult for Lucas, to have a lot on his shoulders basically doing the teacher's job with no pay. The brunette scanned the area some more with no clue of the girls' whereabouts, even standing up from his seat attaining a better view but accidently making-eye contact with Troy, quickly sitting down as fast as he arose.
"Just eat! They'll turn up eventually" The ravenette shrugged, too busy with his meal to really care
"I know" Will pouted turning his body around, not even touching a single morsel of his food "But they said to wait for them"
"Well! They should know when dinner is" The ravenette rolled his eyes "Just eat!" repeating the same words he said a few seconds ago causing the small boy to pout, crossing his arms in front of his chest as his leg popped up and down.
Eventually, he saw two familiar figures enter the cafeteria overdressed and strutting toward him. The boy stood up, speaking "Where have you two been?" scrunching his nose "We've been waiting!"
"He's halfway through his meal" Max joked pointing at the ravenette not even bothering to lift his head
"Yeah, Well I was waiting" Will emphasised his words, placing a hand on his chest.
"Aww don't be like that!" El jokingly pouted "We have good news and for that we brought everyone coffee"
"Okay..." The small boy sat back on his seat grabbing a coffee cup from Max's hand taking a small sip and sticking his tongue out as it scolded placing the cup back down.
"We are officially dating" The pair cheered in unison
"You mean you weren't already?" Mike scoffed, stuffing his mouth with another forkful of fries
"You knew?" The doe-eyed girl furrowed her brows, throwing her arms into the air
"Of course, I knew!" The ravenette joked "I'm not clueless" even if no one had explicitly told him, he had a hankering suspicion upon seeing Max be more open toward El; when usually hating all physical affection to essentially being the one not wanting to let go.
