FREAK.

That word remained stuck in my head. What am I thinking? AM I REALLY ABOUT TO KISS WILL BYERS. I quickly pulled away. I can't do this. I've been called a freak my entire life, I don't want to make things worse I'm supposed to be normal..

I stood up,

Will: "Mike where are you going?"

Mike: "I'm leaving.."

Will quickly stood up and ran over to me, grabbing my arm.

Will: "No. I'M NOT LETTING YOU LEAVE AGAIN!"

Mike: "Let me go Will."

Will: "NO! YOU CAN'T LEAVE ME MIKE I'M SO SICK OF THIS!"

...

Will: "WHY CAN'T YOU JUST ADMIT IT ALREADY!"

Mike: "Admit what?"

Will: "THAT YOU LIKE ME! WHAT ARE YOU SCARED OF WHAT PEOPLE WILL THINK?"

Mike: "YES. WILL I AM! THEY ALREADY THINK I'M A FREAK THIS WILL JUST MAKE THINGS WORSE!"

Will: "WHO CARES WHAT OVER PEOPLE THINK!"

Mike: "I DO! I-im sick of being a freak."

I pulled my arm away from him and got on my bike.

Mike: "I'm sorry that I keep hurting you.."

Will: "Yet you still do."

I got on my bike and went home, leaving Will alone in the rain. Once I had finally arrived home, I threw my bike on the ground and stormed inside.

Karen: "Oh your back ho-"

I barged past her and ran upstairs to my bedroom, slamming the door behind me.

Karen: "Mike? MIKE! What's wrong?"

I ignored her and instead threw on some clothes and climbed into bed. Thinking about what I had just done. Will probably hates me now, for how much of a jerk I've been to him. It's just remembering everything Will had been through with the bullies. They probably would treat him even worse if we.. I already get treated like a freak enough in high school. This would just make things worse. Tears started streaming down my cheek. Great. Just great. God I'm so pathetic, why can't I just do something right in my life? Instead of just making everyone hate me.

There's no use crying about this right now. I lied down on my side, trying to fall asleep while the tears soaked my pillow. Slowly, I started to fall into slumber while still thinking about all that had happened. I should get some sleep anyway. After all,

I have school tomorrow.
