Mikes POV

Oh. Thats why el's kisses dont feel good anymore. Thats why whenever will does his stupid little giggle I smile like a fool and blush. It cant be, can it? Im not gay? Im not gay. Im just being stupid.

"Michael would you like to repeat what I just said." The teacher asks me.

"I- uh.." I stammer, my cheeks going red from the embarrassment.

"Exactly. Pay attention."

Will. Maybe I have a tiny crush on him.. What am I saying? A crush? On my GUY best friend? How do I get rid of this stupid feeling? Oh my god I know, I'll ignore him!! It cant be that hard, I basically did it all summer, right?

(Time skip to lunch)

I walk into the cafeteria and see max, lucas, dustin, el and will sitting down, so I go over to them.

"Hey guys!!" I say

"Hey mike!" Will says, I just ignore him and go and sit beside el.

"Are you guys doing anything after school?" Lucas asks us all

"I'm n-" Will starts

"Im not" I reply, cutting will off.

"I uhm.. Im gonna go to the bathroom quickly" Will mumbles, getting up

"Alright, dont take too long!!" Dustin winks

"Ewww Dustin gross" Will giggles.

"I dont think any of us are busy, why?" Dustin asks Lucas, curiously

"We should all hang out in mikes basement tonight"

"Yeah sure" I reply, pleased with the plans set for tonight.

"Come round at 4, my mum wont mind you all sleeping over, so bring bags." I add

"Cool, tell will since you are the only one with a lesson with him for the rest of the day" Max orders me

"Why cant el do it? She literally lives with will?" I sass

"God stop being so rude, and she is coming back to my house straight after school so she CANT. Dipshit" Max states, rolling her eyes

"Ugh fine. God"

(Bell rings)

"Bye wheelchair" Max says cheekly

"Bye leprechaun" I reply back smugly

I watch her go as red as her hair and I giggle and walk off.

I dont know whether to tell will to come to my house tonight.. I mean I could? No what am I thinking, if I want to get over this stupid crush I am going to have to completely ignore him.

(Time Skip to last period)

Sorry about all the time skips

I walk into maths and ask the teacher where I am sat. Of course. Will. He looks excited to see me, I can see a big smile spread across his face and he waves at me. I just roll my eyes and sit down.

"I feel like I haven't seen you all day! Which is weird because I have actually seen you loads today, I saw you at lunch, 1st and 4th period and now.. Oh yeah and break!!" Will rambles. God will he just stop talking? Why is he so annoying..

"K." I reply back shortly.

"...K? Thats it?" Will mumbles, sounding sad.

"Yeah? Is that not good enough for you?" I snap back.

"W-What? I didn't say t-that?" He says back, stuttering

"Yeah well you didnt seem very pleased with my answer."

"Oh. Im sorry." He apologizes, and then turns the other way.

I dont know why his voice is irritating me so much. I just want this stupid crush to be over already..

I swear I hear sniffles coming from wills direction, but I ignore him and just doodle in my book instead of doing the actual work.

(Bell rings)

Damn how long was I doodling for.. Who cares, anyway I need to get home and set up the basement.

I rush out of the classroom and grab my bike, and start peddling as fast as I can. I dont want to have to face will.

(3RD Person)

Mike rides home as fast as he can, and after about 15 minutes he gets home.

"Hey mom!!" He yells, opening the door.

"Hey mike, how was school?" Karen asks, smiling.

"It was good, hey uh can some of my friends sleep over tonight?" Mike asks

"But sweetheart, its a school night?" Karen replies

"I know but we all really wanna.. please mum" Mike begs

"Fine. No later then 12. Lights out. Okay?"

"YES THANK U!!" Mike squeals, hugging his mum.

Karen lets out a small laugh, "No problem, would you like me to grab the 5 mattresses?"

"Oh uh no only 4 please"

"What? Why only 4? Who's not coming? Mike you better not have told max to stay home again." Karen warns him.

"What? No- its will thats not coming."

"But you guys are best friends?" Karen inquires, even more confused now.

"Yeah I know but hes.. uh.. sick! Yeah he felt very sick at school today and said he wouldn't be able to come." Mike lies straight through his teeth.

"Oh no, let me give Joyce a call and see if she would like me to bring round any thing" Karen suggests, making her way to the phone.

"NO. I mean uh no cos, uhm, Joyce is out and Jonathan is at work and obviously el is coming here so nobody will answer."

"Oh.. right. I will get the matresses and leave you to it then." She sighs

"Thanks mum, I love you"

"I love you too michael."
