Mike's Pov:

El was super sweet and we got close over the night as well. I tried to understand where she was saying Will was, but it just didn't make any sense. "So, you're telling me that Will got sucked into some kind of other dimension filled with evil monsters?" I ask, hearing how crazy it actually sounds. She just nods in response. "I'm gonna talk to Y/n over the telephone okay? Stay on the couch." I headed over to the telephone on the wall and dialed her number.

{Telephone Conversation}

Y: (You) Hello?
M: (Mike) Hey. So I just got the strangest story from El. She says Will is stuck in another dimension.
Y: What? Are you sure? It doesn't seem too far fetched Mikey, she does have abnormal abilities.
M: I guess you're right. We'll just have to hope that Will can be saved. Can you come over?
Y: On my way!

{End of phone conversation}

El and I waited for Y/n to ride her bike over here and about 15 minutes later she was here.
I could see her feet and legs coming down the stairs of my basement and then her whole body.  "Hey!" She greets brightly. She was just so beautiful, and I've always had the biggest crush on her. I could never actually admit that out loud because one I don't have the guts, and two Will liked her first. I'm pretty sure she has a thing for him as well, and besides that she'd never be interested in me. 

"U-uh..hey!" I say turning a little red.

El looked to me and then to Y/n with a confused look on her face.

"Are you and El getting along?"

"Yeah. she's awesome!"

Y/n's Pov:

When Mike called me over I threw on something casual and headed out. When I finally got to his house, Mrs. Wheeler let me in and told me Mike was in the basement. I went down and saw Mike just staring at me it was a little weird but I greeted him anyway. "Hey!" Mike's face turned a little red and he stuttered a bit in response. It was honestly very weird, but now that all of us are getting older we all act weird.

"Are you and El getting along?" I ask.

"Yeah. She's awesome!" Mike says in excitement.

I don't know why, but any time he mentions her at all I got this weird feeling. It was like a tiny ball of hate. Even though I asked, I still got mad.

"Yeah..uhm, so let's talk about Will." I say leaving Mike a little irritated.

"How do we find Will?" Mike asks El.

"We go to the other side." She says in the same whisper tone as always.

"So it's kind of like, uhhh...the upside down!" I say.

Mike looks to me and shrugs, "I guess you could call it that."

"I probably shouldn't stay here too late though, I already missed one day of school. We'll have to discuss this with the whole gang."  I get up and give El a big hug to which she just smiles. When I'm getting ready to leave I hear Mike whine. "I don't get one?" I laugh a little. I suppose this wasn't too unusual. I walk back hugging Mike, and he warps his arms around my waist squeezing a bit. I felt comfortable in my best friends arms, but maybe a little too comfortable. "Bye Mikey." I say pulling away and heading home.

El's Pov:

Mike started acting really weird as soon as y/n/n showed up. I couldn't really understand or describe it. I was going to question him about it since I was very confused.

"Mike?" I say getting his attention.

"Yes?" Mike says looking towards my direction.

"How come you act different when y/n/n comes around? Do people have more than one way to act?"

"Well, not normally. Unless they have a certain feeling or emotion overcoming them."

"What emotion do you have when she's around?"

"I'd normally keep this to myself, but you have to promise not to tell her okay?"

I nod, getting eager to learn something new.

"When a person has an interest in someone beyond friendship, it's called a 'crush' or 'love', " He says while his face turns a deep shade of red, "it's when you want nothing more than to be with that person all day and when you aren't you feel empty, like they complete you. When they understand you more than anyone, when you long for their vibrant smile, their bright and funny personality...." Mike trails off.

"Are you talking about Y/n/n?" I ask him causing him to jump back and getting red in defense.

"What?! No!"

"Mike, friends don't lie."

"Okay, okay! Fine. Maybe I was talking about her. You seriously can't say a word to her though!"

Shortly after Mike decided to go to sleep in his room and I did as well in the fort he made in the basement.
