Chapter 8

3rd person pov

Will byers remembered the previous week like the back of his hand, grinning as he stepped into his school building.

"Willio" a voice beamed as the small brunette cringed turning to meet his curly haired friend who had recently decided that this would be a great nickname for the boy.

"hello to you too Dustin". The two made their way down the hall to their lockers, eventually splitting.

A sigh escaped the boys pink lips as he was met with a bouquet of lilies stuck to his locker. The boy didn't read the note attached knowing who they were from, instead grabbed his books carefully placing the flowers into his locker.

The small boy waved at Dustin as he made his way to French his smile never faltering.

"Hey guys" the brunette spoke as he approached Lucas and Mike who were propped up onto their desks as usual. The two returned his greeting as he reached to get his books.

"So what did you.. Do this weekend"? Lucas questioned unsure. "I went fishing with my brother, and he got a job at a newspaper place". Lucas smiled as he hopped off of the table to get his books.

"Hey Mike, I listened to the 88 they're really good" The small boy beamed. Mike's eyes lit up as he scrambled off the table to reach the boy "which songs do you like" he urged Will frowned in thought. "It's all cause of you and head cut off".

Mike almost groaned "head cut off is so Raw and emotional isn't it". The two grinned as the bell rang.

The class was boring per usual but Will wasn't he was thinking, daydreaming.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Will byers walked into his school building which was uncomfortably quiet since he came so early. His previous embaressment from the day before wasn't something he thought he could endure again.

The small boy was getting his books for history when he felt a hand on his back, startled his turned around to be met with blonde hair, a mischievous smirk and mystery eyes.

"Hey cutie, why are you so early?" the tall blonde questioned "u-um i wanted to study a bit before school"

Bullshit

The blonde boy nodded slowly his eyes wandering around. "wanna walk around with me". Will was both confused and curious.

Who is this due
And why does he want to talk to Me

"sure" he nodded closing his locker as the blonde boy led the way.

~~~~~~~~
"H-hey" the small boy began, capturing the taller boys attention "I never caught your name" he continued. The tall boy grinned "why should I tell you" he grinned in a teasing tone. "I told you mine" the small boy pouted "that's because you decided to" he shrugged smirking.

Wills cheeks grew hot as he pouted looking away. "Dylan" the boy mumbled as the two walked up some stairs.

Will was nodding as he passed his French room "so why are you here so early" the small boy questioned curiosity lacing his tone. "It's quiet here in the morning".

Will nodded in agreement as the two made up another floor. "I-I don't think we're allowed up here the small boy spoke in realisation, stopping slowly as he spoke.

" It's OK the principal is the only one here and he's always in his office until students show up, we have like half an hour" the taller reassuring the boy as he made his way up to the rooftop door.

"Ok" will sighed following him.

~~~~~~~~~~~

Will byers was sitting on the school roof, legs dangling off the edge as the warm breeze passed through his hair.
"it's nice isn't it" the boy beside him breathed smiling at the small boy who seemed to be in heaven. "I come up here when the world seems like its too much" the boy continued, will nodding along to his words

~~

"WILL BYERS"!!!

will swore he heard his neck crack as he lifted his head in record time.
Mike was sitting across from will with Lucas wide eyed as Mr Timmons slowly made his way to his desk.

"Why don't you stand up and tell the class what's so much more interesting than your education, NOW!" he screamed as the small boy scrambled to the top of the class.

Will felt eyes, everywhere small giggles were heard while others stared.  Will frantically looked at Mike for help as their teacher tapped his foot in anticipation of an explanation

(that rhymes 😒😣😏)

"Mr byers I'm waiting, unless you would like to tell the principal I suggest you speak up".

What the hell do I do
They're all staring
Mike please

Will was mentally pouting as he stared at Mike for help. The raven haired boy was pointing at himself making will furrow his brows in confusion.

"U-umm m-ike, I went to Mike's House yesterday and we took his fish for a walk" the small boy rambled "I was thinking about it" Lucas sinclair was the first to burst out into a fit of laughter along with the rest of the class causing Mr Timmons to turn red with rage.

"Sit down, Now". Will practically ran to his seat his face bright red as he pouted seeing Mike laughing at him behind his textbook. "I want everyone to complete pages 125, 126 and 127 since you all think that this is a circus.

Exxagerated groans were heard as the bell rang signalling everyone to leave.

Will grabbed his books and ran out of the class not wanting Mr Timmons to scold him. Only when the small boy was outside the classroom did he place his books into his bag.

"walk his fish" lucas gasped between laugher as he exited the class room placing a hand on the blushing boys shoulder for support.

"b-but I couldn't think, there was too much pressure and staring" Will wined as Mike came out grinning.

"was trying to tell you to say you were thinking about something I said, silly" the raven haired boy grinned

"What were you even thinking about anyway, he was calling your name for a good ten minutes" Mike continued his grin never faltering.

"nothing" the boy quickly muttered as the trio made their way to the hall for P.E

That did Will swore not to daydream like that

But that was the first time
