Why won't these feelings go away..?

First Day Of School

I slowly opened my eyes to the sunshine beaming through my curtains. I looked at my alarm clock. Wow, for once I'm not actually late! I threw the blanket of me and arose from my bed. I walked over to my closet, looking for some nice clothes to wear (not that I really care). Finally, I decided on wearing a grey sweater with white stripes on it. Suddenly, I heard Nancy's annoying voice calling me downstairs,

Nancy: "MIKE HURRY UP BREAKFAST IS READY!"

Mike: "IN A SECOND!"

My Mom and Ted were both going on a date today. Which is weird, considering they normally don't even acknowledge each other's existence. Anyway, this meant that Nancy had to cook breakfast for us today. So I bet it tastes like shit.
I sat down in an empty chair grabbing a fork, ready to eat. She made us pancakes and after trying one turns out they weren't so bad after all. Once you coat them in maple syrup that is. After finishing my breakfast I stood up, grabbed my backpack, hopped on my bike and began riding to school.

Once I got to school I chained my bike up on one of the bike rails and walked in school. I noticed Dustin and Lucas standing at the lockers so I walked over to them.

Dustin: "You have to come, you can't keep skipping."

Lucas: "Look this is the last week I swear, can't you just tell Eddie to postpone it."

Dustin: "We ask him that every week, he doesn't listen."

Mike: "What's going on now?"

Dustin: "Lucas is trying to skip again."

Lucas: "It's a big game, I wouldn't want to skip that."

Dustin: "So you would rather ditch us to hangout with them assholes?"

Mike: "It's fine Dustin, let him skip. We can just ask Erica to play instead."

Lucas: "Wait wait wait, you guys have been playing dnd with my sister!?"

Mike: "Yep, she was the only person who wanted to play so."

Lucas looked at both of us, he opened his mouth but nothing came out. Instead he just sighed and walked away. Dustin turned to face me.

Dustin: "Wait isn't Will joining this school now! We can play dnd with him again! I'm sure he'll love Eddie!"

Will! I had completely forgotten about him. I wonder how he's feeling after the fight. Should I even ask him to play dnd with us? He probably hates me by now but I don't want to stop him hanging out with Dustin. Plus he loves dnd so this could be a good way to try and make it up to him.

Mike: "Sure, but what about Erica?"

Dustin: "I'm sure she won't mind but if she really wants she can still come."

Mike: "We'll it's settled then."

The ear-piercing sound of the bell rang so we both waved goodbye to each other and walked to our first class. Luckily, it was English so I'm starting of the week with an actual good class. I walk in and sit down in my assigned chair; I had this teacher last year, her name is Miss.Hazel. Which means we're keeping our old seats. I open the first page in my notebook and start writing. All of a sudden, the teacher starts talking.

Miss.Hazel: "Attention everyone, today we have a new student joining us. Please come in."

I immediately knew who she was talking about. Will walked into the classroom.

Miss.Hazel: "Please introduce yourself to the class."

Will: "Uhm, my name is Will Byers, I'm 15 and.. Oh I like art and painting."

Already I could hear people whispering things to each other. "Assholes" I muttered under my breath.

Miss.Hazel: "You can go take a seat next to Mike. He's the boy with black hair."

Wait! He's sitting next to me! Shit
Well this is going to be awkward. Will slowly walked over and sat down next to me. I quickly looked down at my notebook, trying extremely hard not to make eye contact. Unfortunately, this didn't last very long because I already found myself staring at him. God, why do I have to be like this? I wonder how he hasn't noticed yet, or maybe he has but he just doesn't want to say anything. He's probably still mad about yeste-

Will: "Are you going to keep staring at me, or will you actually focus on the lesson?"

Mike: "Oh sorry! It's just weird seeing you in the same class as me."

Will: "Yeah, yeah."

Somehow it was already the end of class so I stood up, grabbing my notebook and putting it back in my bag. I should try and talk to Will, I know he hates me and is probably sick of my apologies but I don't want things to stay this awkward between us. I want things back to the way they used to be.

But before I got the chance to speak, I realised he was nowhere in sight. What did I expext? For him to be waiting outside the classroom for me, ready to walk me to my next class? I sighed and just decided to walk to class.

Hii guys! I am extremely sorry that I haven't posted in nearly a month but I've been really busy lately so I never had the time. Also I couldn't think of any new ideas since I've been suffering with writers block. But I hope you enjoyed this chapter. Have a nice day and stay hydrated >3
