Monday Morning, 9:30 am, Hawkins High School
"Hey." Mike whispered, just loud enough for Will to hear it. Will looked up from his history work and looked over to Mike, who simply passed him a note. And it read, "Hey." Which made Will smile, even with Mike's awful handwriting. "Hey loser" Will wrote back. "Don't call me a loser." Mike scribbled back. "Do your work and get better handwriting then <3" Will pushed the piece of paper back onto Mike's desk. "Whatever. Do you wanna come over later?" Mike asked, watching Will write back. "Of course." Will smiled, pushing the piece of paper back onto Mike's desk again.
Mike looked up from the piece of paper as the bell rang, indicating that first period was over and all students had 5 minutes to move to the next class. "Hey." Mike said, rushing out of the classroom trying to catch up to Will. "I'm right here."
Will giggled, leaning against the wall next to the classroom door. "Oh." Mike smiled. "Wanna walk me to class?" Will smiled back and tilted his head. "Yeah." Mike nodded.
"Here you are." Mike smiled, stopping at a classroom that read, ART GT, GRADE 10, MR. FLAK. "See you at lunch?" Will asked, tilting his head at taking a step closer to the classroom. "Actually." Mike spoke, "Meet me after class?" He asked while cracking a smile. "Sure." Will nodded and slipped into the classroom.
"There you are." Mike remarked as Will walked closer to him. "You have free period right now, right?" Mike asked. "Yep." Will nodded and smiled. "Good." Mike smiled and took Will's hand, leading both of them away from the lobby . "Where are we going?" Will giggled. "Just my favorite place in the entire building." Mike explained, walking into the library.
"Hi, Mike" A woman from behind the counter greeted. "Hi, Ms. Kala." He smiled. "What're you doing here?" She smiled back, "You aren't skipping are you?" She asked in a hushed tone and leaned forward. "No, it's our free period." Mike explained, gesturing to the shorter boy standing beside him. "Hi, I'm Will." He introduced himself and smiled. "Hi, I'm Kala." She smiled back. "I haven't seen you around here before, have I?" She added. "I just moved here last weekend." He smiled again as Kala nodded.
"Can we look around for a bit?" Mike asked with another smile. "Of course." She smiled once again and nodded. "Thank you." Mike said in a sing song voice, dragging Will away from the counter. "Look!" Will beamed, pulling Mike into an isle full of books and pulling one of them off of the shelf. "What's that?" Mike asked, coming up behind Will and looking over his shoulder. "Harry Potter and The Prisoner of Azakban." Will smiled, looking down at the cover. "You like it?" Mike asked, resting his head on Will's shoulder and wrapping his hands around Will's waist. "Uh. Y-yeah." Will said, trying to ignore how flustered he was. "It's my favorite out of the entire series." He added. "Let's go check it out then." Mike smiled, dragging Will back to the counter.
