mike walked into school, and waited at the door for will. he kept fidgeting with his fingers. he saw will arrive.
will saw mike and immediately lit up. he loved mike. he wished mike loved him back, but that was never going to happen.
mike saw will, and grabbed him by the arm, and ran into the av club room.
"mike! what are you doing?" will asked.
mike closed the door and told will to sit down.
"i need to tell you something." mike sighed.
"yeah, anything mike." will nodded.
"i-i l-like you. and not in a friend w-way..." mike studded.
"really? well i love you too, mike!" will said, lighting up.
"uh! really?" mike asked, panicking.
"yes!" will smiled, as he got up and squeezed mike.
mike stood there, going along with wills hug. he realized why max warned him. will really did love mike.
"well will, we should get to class." mike said, rubbing the back of his neck.
"okay! bye!" will exclaimed.
mike walked out of the av club room to see the whole party standing there. dustin and lucas gave him this look.
"what happened?" they asked.
"i don't really wanna talk about it. i will tell you later." mike sighed, annoyed that he even agreed to do this.
on the other hand, will had the biggest smile on his face the whole day. he kept looking at mike during class. he couldn't really even focus all day.
the fourth period bell rung, which meant it was lunch. mike and max always got there before will, so max obviously asked mike what happened.
"max. i know why you said that now." mike sighed.
"did he say he liked you?" she asked.
"he loves me." mike said.
"i told you. i won't tell the others because they'll just embarrass him." she reassured.
"okay, thanks." mike sighed in relief.
"can i ask you something?" max said, furrowing her eyebrows.
"yes." mike replied.
"do you feel the same way for will?" she asked.
"what! no! no, no, i don't feel that way.." mike said, starting to blush.
"okay, just take it easy on the kid. like i said, it will break his heart." max suggested.
mike nodded and ate his lunch in silence. the party came and tried to ask what happened, but mike just ignored them.
will was staring at mike. his dreamy eyes, and adorable freckles, was wills favorite features of mike. but mike seemed really quiet. he wasn't really talking to will like he usually does. but will just ignored that. will thought it may just be because they just said they loved each other.
after lunch, the party went to their fifth period class, and their other classes. will had his last two periods with mike, and mike was still quiet the whole time. will just brushed it off again, hoping he could talk to mike after school.
the last bell rung.
"hey, mike! what's wrong?" will called, catching up to mike.
"nothing." mike snapped.
"woah. for real, what's wrong?" will asked, trying to get it out of him.
"just a lot of things." mike replied.
but really, mike didn't know what to do. he felt like he liked will, too. but he didn't want to like boys. all he thought to himself was, why'd i even do this in the first place?
