Mikes POV:
I have a secret. Nobody knows about it... I just don't know how exactly to tell anyone. I'm definitely screwed.
I sit on the floor of my basement just to start thinking.. about everything. After about 10 minutes, I got up to go to sleep at 9:57. Yeah, I'm just kidding it was about 1:30am. But I wasn't tired at all, I couldn't get my mind off of my secret and how I'd tell people. But after an hour of tossing and turning in bed I finally got to sleep.
~the next morning~
I woke up to my mom yelling at me to get up. She's so annoying, I just want peace and quiet, but I got up and went to get ready. A while later I get to school and walk in, getting greeted by the smiling Will. His smile is so contagious, I can't help but smile myself when I see him. "Morning, Mike" he said looking up at me because I'm quite a bit taller than him. "Hey Willlllll" I said walking with him to our joined locker. "What do we have first?" I asked him as I took off my school bag before opening my locker. "Math" he said rolling his eyes and watching me. "Ughhhhh" I banged my head on the locker not feeling up to doing any math. "Stop that Mike!!" He said pulling me away being the caring person he is. I smiled a bit, Will took my bag and grabbed my wrist, dragging me to class behind him, I closed my locker before I left.
~After school~
I walk out of school and start walking to the playground, El said she wanted to meet me there. I arrive and see her and wave, making my way over to her, she was sitting on the swings. I sit on the one next to her, and look at her "what's up?" I ask her. She shrugs a bit with a frown on her face. "Mike?" She looked at me with her eyes going watery. "Yes, El?" I ask taking her hand. "We're.. dating?... right?" She asks. I nod hesitantly, we were dating I just... i don't know how my feelings felt about dating her.. "Will is.. a friend?" She says before I nod even more. "Okay" she said. Not much happened after that.. we went home a couple minutes later.
~A few days later~
Will hasn't really been talking to anyone recently... he's my best friend, I don't know what's wrong. He seems to be avoiding me. I'm spending a lot more time with El now, and I'm realizing how wrong it actually feels. She kissed me yesterday.... no fireworks.. nothing. I really need to tell her, sooner rather than later. But I don't know how, there's only one person I'd feel comfortable asking for help from. I need to find Will. (No he's not in the fucking upside down again, he's just not in the mood to life rn. me haha)
~A couple hours later~
I knock on Wills door hoping to see him open it.. nope just Jonathan. "Shit" I said thinking it was only in my head. Jonathan looked around awkwardly "sorry to disappoint, man." He shrugged. "Wait what, sorry, um. I need Will. I mean I don't need him, I'd just like to see him, not that I like him, just as a friend, I have a girlfriend, I'm not cheating." I said not thinking it was weird, but of course it was. "Okay, well Will is in his room, you can just come in I guess" Jonathan said letting me in. "Thanks" I said walking to Wills room. I open it and immediately say "Hi Will!!" With a big smile, I guess I was really happy to see him. He shouts "AH" in a really high pitched voice. "WHAT THE HELL MIKE, CANT YOU KNOCK" he said jokingly with his hands on his chest, sighing of relief. "Sorry about that, anyways, I need advice." I say. "Okay, as long as it's not about Eleven or something" he said at the same time as I said "I need help with what to say to Eleven" we both laughed for a bit, then Will shook his head "yeah, no, I've never had a girlfriend. You can't expect me to be any help". I sat on his bed next to him "okay listen, I need to break up with El.. I thought I liked her... but I don't feel sparks when I'm around her, and I still kind of just think of us as best friends. But I don't want to hurt her feelings" I said looking down. Wills eyes widened, not believing what he just heard. "Well... if you don't feel like you like her as more than friends... you need to tell her. It would hurt more just to be left in the dark for a while." He said. Will was right, I needed to tell her, but how? My phone buzzed, my mom texted me asking me to come home immediately, she had news. I looked at Will after seeing the text "i need to go.." I said starting to frown. "Thanks a lot for the advice" I said getting up. "Anytime, Wheeler" he said with a cute- I mean small smile. I smile back and wave, then leave, feeling happy. I guess I should've enjoyed that happiness more, because my mom's news she needed to tell me about, was definitely not good news.
