*Mike started a chat*
*Mike added Will*

Mike: I feel really bad about not telling El
Mike: or anyone else
Will: Mike, really, they can't know
Mike: well I mean they know about you so why not
Mike: although I guess El might break up with me
Will: she won't. I promise. I'm just worried about the guys' reaction
Will: I mean we snuck around
Mike: I really feel like we need to tell El
Will: Mike, it happened while you two were dating
Mike: well yeah, but it was only one time
Mike: and it didn't mean anything, right?
Will: well no, I guess not
Will: okay, fine, we can tell her. Together. But not anyone else
Mike: agreed
Mike: but I should tell them one thing just not about us
Will: that IS a good idea
Will: why haven't you yet, by the way
Mike: you haven't officially come out, either
Will: well no but everyone still knows
Mike: do you think they already know about me?
Will: I'm pretty sure Nancy suspects something and no one would actually be surprised
Mike: okay, I'll be at your place in ten. We can go to the Hoppers' together. Hop's working today?
Will: yeah, see you then

%%%%: exact words?
Jane: "El, I'm bi."
%%%%: yup, guys and girls
%%%%: listen, I'm pretty sure that kid is in love with you. Based on everything you've told me, you two are good
Jane: sure?
%%%%: yes. However, if he ever hurst you. I will kill him
Jane: why do people keep saying that? If I really wanted someone dead, I would do that without any help
%%%%: true
%%%%: hey I gotta go. Dottie thinks I can't beat her in poker
Jane: say hi to the rest for me
Jane: and thanks
%%%%: I'll do that
