VI . The First Letter

Mike woke up early the next morning in order to have some extra time to himself before he had to leave for school. He got himself up out of bed and walked to the bathroom to take a shower. After his shower, he got dressed in a bright blue button-down shirt with black shorts. Mike wanted extra time in the morning so he would be able to write a letter to Will about his first day of school and what happened with Troy. He grabbed a piece of paper from his backpack and a pen and began writing.

Dear Will the Wise,

You're never going to believe what happened at school yesterday. Remember Troy Walsh? From school? He was actually being nice to me! He even said all the mean things he said about me before was just him joking around. I don't necessarily believe that but it's what he said. Anyways i miss you and El alot. All everyone has talked about is how different it is without you guys here. I cant wait until you come in to see everyone on Thanksgiving and Christmas. Well i guess thats it for now, until next time Sir William.

Sincerely, Mike.

Mike gave his letter one final read over and put it in an envelope and sealed it shut. He wrote Will's new adress on the front and had his mom put a stamp on it and put it in the mailbox. Hopefuly Will will write back soon.

Will didn't receive Mikes letter until two days after he had sent it. When Will did have the letter, he ripped it open and read it, then reread it, then reread it again. He imagined what it would sound like if Mike was actually there telling him this. With that thought in mind, Will began to write his reply.

Dear Mike,
I'm really happy to hear from you! i miss you so much. i actually can't believe what you said about Troy! He used to be so mean. I don't think i believe that he was just "joking around" when we were kids. Anyways i can't wait to see you and all the others on Thanksgiving. Two weeks couldn't go by any faster.
I had my first day of school yesterday and it was really weird without you. Mom and Hop have been a tying really weird around me, it's like they're scared to actually talk about you. They treat me like i'm about to break and i'm not i'm fine. I don't know i just can't wait to see you.
      Sincerely, your friend, Will.

Wills POV:
I don't even know if Mike even cares to hear about how school went. He's probably only worried about Eleven. That's all he's worried about anymore. He never actually apologized for our argument before i left Hawkins, but then again He and El never got back together after their breakup. I don't know i wish he would worry more about me than her. That sounds really needy but i mean it as in i'm his best friend and it felt like he doesn't care about anything but El.
Mom and Hop have been treating me funny. It's almost as if they don't want to bring up anything that has to do with Hawkins or anything that comes with it. Once El's powers start coming back they're gonna have to start talking about it whether they like to or not. Being here has been already so different. Mom and Hop keep acting like nothing ever happened last summer. I just wish one of them would ask how i'm feeling. If we're being honest here, I feel awful. I miss Hawkins. I miss Mike. A lot. Okay maybe not just Mike I mean I miss everyone but like Mike too. I don't miss all the craziness that came with living there however. I have dreams every night still that i'm stuck in that horrible place. I don't know when they're gonna stop but i'm afraid to tell my mom about them. The only time i'm not worried about what might happen when El's powers are back is when i'm thinking about Mike. I wish i could talk to El or even my mom or Hopper about our fight. He never apologized for what he said to me. I don't know if he ever will.
