"You were with your friends partying"

-----------------------------------------------

THE CLUB was hot and noisy, filled with people. Mike Wheeler was sitting at the bar with his drink, watching his best friend, Eleven Hopper, dancing with a girl. Since Eleven came out to Mike as pansexual, he's been very supportive of her.

There was a huge crowd dancing, but someone had caught Mike's attention. He was slightly below average height for an eighteen-year old. He had brown hair, with ,what looked like, hazel eyes. When the boy walked over to order a drink, Mike recognised him. This was Will Byers, Mike Wheeler's ex. A maniac ex. Mike was silently deciding if he should go over to Will or not, Will saw him. Will walked over to Mike.

"Mike!" Will said. "Hey, Will. How are you?" Mike asked, trying to be polite. "I'm good, you?" Will asked, smiling. "I'm good aswell." This conversation was starting to get slightly awkward with Mike looking around, trying to find El and Will just staring at Mike.

"Looking for someone?" Will asked, with a slightest acid to his voice. "What? Oh yeah, I'm trying to find my bestfriend" Mike answered, hearing the acid in Will's voice. "Oh, alright. Anyway, I have to go to my friend. Bye, Mikey" Will walked off.

Mike was left there standing, zoning out. The only thing that brought him back to reality was when the bartender called out his name and gave him his drink. El had appeared by his side. "Jesus. Oh, you ordered a drinke for me! Thanks!" Mike didn't even get a chance to reply and El had taken his drink. "That was for- oh nevermind. Guess who I just saw," Mike said. "Who?" El asked as she drank once more. 

"Will." El spat out the drink. "What?!" El asked. "Yeah. I know." Mike said, sighing. "I thought he lived in Hawkins?" El asked again. "Yeah, maybe they moved to New York like us?" Mike suggested. "oh, come off it. You know Will, he's probably stalking you like he did when you two broke up." El rolled her eyes. "Don't remind me of that please" Mike groaned.

El laughed and left to use the bathroom. Mike stood there, leaning against the bar. He spotted Will again. He was with his friends, laughing and dancing. Mike was watching Will, sort of admiring his features. Mike doesn't tell anyone, but he secretly misses the realtionship him and Will had. One of Will's friends whispered something into Will's ear and he looked back at Mike. It was like they were having a sort of moment. Will walked over to where Mike was standing.

"Hey, again" Will said. "Hey." Mike replied, sort of bluntly. "You alright?" Will asked Mike. Mike nodded. Both of them were just standing there, looking at eachother. Mike swore that he saw Will looking at his lips a few times. Suddenly, El appeared out of nowhere, looking absoulutely wasted.

"Jesus Christ El, what happened to you?" Mike asked, looking at El. "Everything," El answered and Will giggled. "Come on, let's get you home." Mike hooked his arm around El's shoulder. Mike looked at Will. "Nice seeing you again, Will. Bye." Mike was walking El out. Mike looked back and saw Will looking at El with a look that was mixed with anger and jealousy.

Oh God. Not again, Mike thought as he put El in a cab and he got in after her. Mike gave the cab driver their address and the cab drove off into the night.
