JUNE 12, 1985 12:20 A.M.

As soon as the gang arrived at the mall, there was a plan. They could split up, as long as they all meet outside the door to be picked up at 3:30.

Max and Lucas decided to hit up Burger King and the Gap. Dustin went with them. 

Mike and Eleven went to Scoops Ahoy to get ice cream and spend some quality alone time. Will didn't want to eat at Burger King, but he didn't want to be the third wheel if he went with Mike and Eleven.

Will went with Mike and Eleven to Scoops Ahoy, he had no choice.

"Why hello you three, what can I get you guys?" asked Robin.

"We'll get a banana split, to share. Don't worry El, I'll pay." said Mike.

Will assumed the banana split was for all three of them to share and said, "Thanks Mike."

When Mike finished paying, he said, "Oh... the banana split was only for Eleven and I. Sorry." 

"No it's fine, I must've misheard you. I'll order for myself."

"I'll get one scoop of vanilla, please? Thank you."

Will sat down next to Mike. He noticed how the two lovebirds talked and held hands like each other was all that one needed. God, how'd I get myself into this?  Will thought, I can't bear to see them kiss again, it looks so gross. And the holding hands thing... EW!  Will sat and just couldn't bear seeing El and Mike whisper and hold hands and share their ice cream. It made him sick to his stomach.

This is an ice cream shop, not a kissing booth, Will thought, Holy shit, can't they just stop already? 

...

1:30 P.M.

It was 1:34, and Eleven wanted to go shopping at the Gap with Max. Dustin and Lucas wanted to see The Goonies, but Mike really didn't want to. He hated action movies.

"Hey, Will!" called Lucas, "You wanna see Goonies with us? You'll love it"

"Eh, I'll pass, thanks for asking though!"

Lucas and Dustin disappeared down the hall and into the movie theater.

"I guess it's just you and me then," said Mike.

"Okay, what do you wanna do?" asked Will.

"I hope you don't mind, but can we go shopping, for Eleven?"

"Uhh... yeah, sure, I don't mind." Anger slowly grew inside of Will.

Mike and Will headed to Macy's to look for something that Mike thought Eleven would like.

"She told me that she likes these poofy hair ties, but they're made out of fabric."

"Oh, they're called scrunchies, Mike. They should be in the hair isle."

"Thanks, Will."

Would you wanna do something after the mall? Ew, too shy. 

Hey Mike, can we have a sleepover? Too pushy. 

Do you wanna have a sleepover or something? 

Oh my god, Will stop thinking about this. He's dating Eleven. Your feelings will only grow for him.
