TW : Homophobic Slurs

October 27, 1986
Lenora Hills High School

Will's POV

"You ready to come back here?" Jonathan asks me. We are sitting in Jonathan's car in front of Lenora Hills High.

"I guess," I respond. I'm really not, but I don't want to worry him.

"Remember I'm always here, so if anything happens at school let me know," he says.

"Yeah. Don't worry about me, Jonathan. I'll be fine," I smile at him.

"Okay, I'm sure you'll be fine since Mike is there too," he says with smirk on his face. I'm not sure why, but I blush a little hearing Mike's name.

"O-oh yeah," I respond trying to cover up how flustered I am. Oh my god. I'm so embarassing. Jonathan looks at me like he is trying to get some sort of reaction out of me. Shit. Does he know? I mean, he is my brother and is probably the first person I can think of to tell my embarassing crush to. "I should get going. Bye, Jonathan."

Jonathan says bye to me and I open the car door to see Mike waiting for me. This might be one of the only times I see him not wearing his Hellfire Club shirt to school. I guess it wouldn't make sense to wear it, since this is not Hawkins High.

"C'mon, Will. I don't know this school so I was hoping you could show me around," Mike says.

"Oh, of course," I respond as we walk towards the school.

Mike's POV

"And there's the cafeteria," Will says to me. He just finished showing me around the school.

"It's not much different from Hawkins High," I say and he nods.

"Okay, we have to meet up with the principal to pick up our schedules now," he says and I follow him to the principal's office. While walking through the halls, I see people giving me weird looks. Then, I see her. Angela. That bitch who bullied El. It looks like she got surgery on her nose, because it looks plastic. Maybe she is just plastic. Who cares? She's a fucking bitch and I'm going to ignore her ass.

"Mike? We're here," I turn to Will.

"Oh yeah, sorry." Will opens the door to the principal's office and I walk in with him.

Will and I just finished talking to the principal and we got our schedule. I got 4 classes with Will, period one, two, five, and six. I only need to survive three classes without Will. I guess I can do that.

We walk to our first class of the day, Mathematics. As we walk into the classroom, I spot one of Angela's dumb friends. I think his name is Jake? Whatever. It doesn't matter. As weirdly, overwhelming attractive as he is, he's still a bitch like Angela. Fortunately, Angela isn't here.

Will and I find two empty seats next to each other, so we sit down in them. Ugh. I hate Mathematics. I hope Holly is doing well.
