Truthfully, he already understood he liked Will. He didn't want to. But he did. He tries to hide it but sometimes he feels like it's obvious.

He doesn't really remember when he first realized he liked him to be honest.

The thing is, Mike has a girlfriend, not that Will would like him anyway, but even if Will did, Mike has a girlfriend.

The more he says it, the less he wants it to be true. He only really dated her because his dad kept telling him to get a girlfriend, she's pretty, sure, but he doesn't really like her.

If he has to lay in his bed for one more second he is sure he's gonna go insane, so he decides to text the group.

The best group ever

Yeah that one

Everyone agrees to meet up there and so they all start leaving their houses.

"So.. what are we gonna do?" Lucas asks. Now that, that's a good question. They hadn't really decided on what to do. There's not much to do, but still.

"Movie?" Dustin suggests.

Max shakes her head, "Nope. Too many times. As much as I love movies we need to find something else to do." She said.

"She's not wrong." Will agreed.

"Maybe we could.. like just walk around I guess? There's pizza if we head over there and then we can just eat there for a few minutes." Mike says, pointing in the direction of the place he's talking about.

They all agree and start heading over.

"So, I'm throwing a party in like two weeks which feels like a long time but I was wondering if you guys wanted to come?" Max told them, picking up her soda.

Everyone said they would go and finished eating.

"Wanna go to the mall?" El asked.

"Yes, let's go!" Dustin said, dragging El in the direction of the mall, the rest of them following behind.

————☆————

"You like that one?" Mike asked when he saw Will looking at the same shirt again.

Will shrugs, "I mean yeah, I don't have enough though." He says.

Mike shakes his head and grabs it, "Well I do." He smiles.

"You don't have to do that, it's okay."

"I don't have to, I want to. You would look good in the shirt anyway." Mike says. He shouldn't of, it was stupid of him to, but at this point, it doesn't matter.

Will just tries not to smile, "Thanks." He says.

They see the others walking back into the store they're in, "Take your ice cream before I drop it." Max says, both boys grab their ice cream and all of them start walking around the store more.

After a few minutes Mike's phone starts ringing, "Sorry, oh! Uh my girlfriends calling, give me a minute, yeah?" He says, starting to walk away.

"Your girlfriend?" Will asks, El sharing the same confused expression.

Mike just nods and then answers the phone.
