Chapter 48 | Will

This is a completely unedited and freshly written chapter so feel free to give me your advice and opinions as I am quite certain it needs much improvement compared to some of my other chapters, but I didn't want to keep you guys waiting any longer. 🤍

A week later things are still going good. Tony hasn't bothered me since Mason hit him and Gage found out. He's been benched for the rest of the season and the only reason he's not off the team is because I begged Gage not to do that. I struggle to understand Tony, but what I truly believe is that he has his own issues he needs to deal with.

My parents have been incredibly overbearing now that they know about Mason and I. I try to avoid having them around when Mason's over as much as possible. Unfortunately, tonight is not one of those cases and we're currently sitting on the couch while my dad explains the documentary he's watching.

"So it's really interesting because bees are so important to pollination and without them, we would simply die"

Mason blinks at my dad. "Without bees, we'd die?"

Hank laughs from where he's sat on the floor.

"No way! Mason hates bees"

Mason glares. "I don't hate bees"

Hank rolls his eyes.

"Is that why you run away whenever you see one??"

I laugh and turn to Mason.

"You're scared of bees?"

He glares. "No."

I bite my lip and mumble.

"That's kind of cute"

Of course, Gage just happens to be walking back to his chair and makes a face.

"Ew! No flirting in the living room Will! I thought we agreed this was a common space and you guys had to respect my boundaries, Mom!"

I glare at him and the stupid smirk on his face. While Mason grunts next to me shaking his head.

"You're an ass"

Gage laughs. "I live to annoy Will, he loves it"

My dad sighs.

"Would you boys stop already? This is the best part, a real shot of pollination happening!"

We all reluctantly turn our attention back to the TV just in time to see a bee land on a flower with it's feet covered in pollen.

The doorbell rings a minute later and I stand making Mason glare, but I only roll my eyes.

"It's Jenna"

I pull open the door and she grins at me.

"Hey!"

I chuckle. "What's up?"

She shrugs. "Nothing is that what you're wearing to the game tonight?"

I look down at my outfit and nod.

"Yeah...we're just waiting for my mom to finish getting ready"

Jenna shrugs. "Okay, where is everyone?"

I nod toward the living room.

"My dad's watching a..."

At that moment my dad looks up and grins.

"Jenna! Come here and watch this truly amazing stuff, bees are beautiful creatures did you know?"

Jenna gives me a look before smiling at my dad.
