Chapter 15:
Wills pov:
"Don't worry I'm a lesbian" the girl whispered, winking at me. "Ohhhhh that makes so much since" I laughed, relaxing a bit more."So, who's the boy?" She asked, nodding to Mike, who I didn't realize was standing there until now. He looked....baffled to say the least.
"Hm? Oh that's Mike. I like him but he's straight-" He says, the girl immediately stands up and goes straight up to Mike. "Hey Mike! Will over their, he just your best friend?" She asked. "Uhm- ye- no- he- uhm" he says, confused.
"Got it" She says, giving him a thumbs up before briskly walking away, with all the confidence in the world. I swear social anxiety must fear her. She has chin length messy blonde hair, she seems maybe a bit older than us, but maybe not.
"The names Darcy by the way" She tells me, sticking out a hand. "Will, will byers" I say, looking at her confused (idfc abt the likely hood bc they are on different sides of the world, I NEED THIS)
"Alright, cool. You're about to marry your old best friend, therefore I'm your new one." She exclaims, with all the confidence in the world. I look behind her at mike, still standing (🧍) there, confused "He likes you by the way, he also thinks I'm straight, therefore also thinks you're straight. Dam his gaydar is horrible-" she exclaimed.
"Uhm- Okay I geuss but I kind of have no clue what's happening rn so-" Darcy interrupted "I have a plan. I want you to go over there, and out me." She said "w-what?" I asked, still very confused as to what's going on. "Go on, go on" She pushes me. "Uhm okay"
"Hi, mike" I said, seemingly snapping him out of his long trance "oh uh Hi will" He said was he...annoyed? "Oh uhm do you want me to go away or?" I ask, nervously already. "No! No, no your fi- it's fine" He said, before trying to lean on a pole, but failing miserably nearly falling to the floor, before I grab him and help him stand back up.
"Oh uhm th-thanks" He says, I nod, trying to stifle a laugh. "Oh come on will its not that funny" He says, falsely offended by it. "I'm sorry, I'm sorry it's just, what were you even trying to do?" I ask, still giggling. "Just uhm... trying to lay down and uh... take a nap?" He says, suuuuuuper convincingly.
"uh-huh, I'm sure" I say, finally calming down. "So uh, the girl over their, do you-" He asks, me quickly intteruppting him "no! Sorry, no. She's a lesbian, and I'm... yeah" I say. I should've just said it, but fears a bitch. (Alr who the frickity flack taught will that word?)
"Oh. Oh, got it. So you support, like... you know?" He asks, trying to avoid using the word. I don't know why, it's not a bad word. I geuss it's just how things go "oh, uh yep. Super support em'. They're super cool" I say. Great job will, that wasn't suspicious at all I think. "What about you?" I said, trying to hide my nervousness.
I didn't have to wait long for his answer "yes! I mean, uhm yep. Greaaaaaat ally. Bc you know......" He said. Wait a minute. He's lying. It's obvious. Is he- is he like me?
"Cool" I say, smiling at him hopefully. "Cool" He replied. "I'm just gonna go say hi to-uh darcy" I say, nervously. "Oh okay! See you later, I'll be.....right here" He said, seemingly just as nervous, but I couldn't focus on that right now, I ran up to darcy, who had watched the whole thing.
"Hes TOTTALLY into you too!" She squeals. "I don't know about that but I think he's at LEAST queer!!" I squeal, maybe a bit to loudly but I don't even care at this point. Me and darcy are just excited he could like me back, I'm not even thinking about how Mike's feeling right now
