WILL POV-
The night pass the two friends and only radio silence from the blind date from the previous night, Will is ecstatic the dates have stopped for a while, no more dates and he was promised a motor bike,
He now sits in his first class of his third year, Will sighs explaining everything to Max who sat by his side asking questions about the date, she chuckles asking for the finer details, other groups of people look at them, some roll their eyes, others inching closer to hear the juicy gossip, Will lowers his voice so no one could hear him. The room was small only about fifty people were in his class and of that at least ten didn't show up to the lesson as it was so early in the morning.
The pair stop when the front door of the auditorium swings open, in walking a tall raven haired male. Will squints his eyes gaining a closer look at his professor; the same stylised mullet, the same cheekbones, the same pale skin. Will's eyes widen, feeling a rush of adrenaline he ducks down in his seat startling the whole row
"What in the hell are you doing?" The redhead whispers sternly
"Max that's the guy" Will panics
"Which guy?" The redhead rolls her eyes scanning the room
"The one I went on a date with" Will whispers louder. Max remains quiet for a moment digesting the situation Will is in, she quietly chuckles, placing a hand on Will's head
"Whoever it is probably doesn't even know it's you, you wore a disguise remember" the redhead explains slapping her lips, slightly ducking in her seat
"I need to get outta here" Will straggles to his feet,
"Will the lesson has started" Max warns
Will sneaks close to the ground crawling out the aisle, leaving his bag and books at the desk determined to get out unnoticed, Mike turns around to introduce himself to the class. The chestnut-haired boy panics, absentmindedly throwing himself into another row to avoid detection
"Well hello there" a curly haired boy blinks his eyes
"Sorry! I'm hiding" Will whispers, a nervous smile on his face
"I can see that, and why?" The boy questions
"The teacher" Will whispers
"The what?" The boy whispers back at a louder volume causing a girl from the row infront to turn her head
"I'll explain later" crawling out the room Will jumps up cursing himself reaching the door. The chestnut haired boy leans against the door; a breath he didn't know he was holding in releases itself. Contemplating on what to do Will paces in circles, eventually trotting off to the bathroom, the smell hit his nostrils; it was truly pungent and the floor was damaged, tiles thrown out it's place while something akin to mold accumulated in the corners, Will disgusts quickly washing his face with water staring at his reflection.
"Come on Will you can do this! You can do this!" With this new sense of determination that filled his bones, the chestnut haired boy marches back to the classroom, turning the handle of the door, he remains silent careful not to disturb the other students
"Why are you late?" The professor Mike focuses on Will instinctingly covering his face; the students look at him, all his determination oozed out his body. His face grew a bright red from embarrassment
"Umm bathroom... sorry" Will apologises walking to his seat next to Max, she facepalms already planning to ask questions after the lesson, averting her eyes towards the projector on the wall,
Mike sighs continuing with the lesson, the lesson remains uneventful, every time Mike would turn to face the class the chestnut haired boy would duck or cover his face. He was very much on edge. He couldn't think straight all he thought about how he acted yesterday on the 'date', what would happen if Mike found out it was him? Would he be biased against him? Would he kick him out the course? Or... Would he make him finish what he promised to do at the hotel? Will lowers his head burying his head in his hands, the boy squeals freaking out.
"Will" The redhead whispers in his ear, the chestnut haired boy didn't move
"Will the lesson is over! Get the hell up!" Max clutched Will's arm roughly pulling him towards the end of the aisle and out the door
"You were asleep for so long the teacher kept looking at you" The redhead adds
"Max it was mortifying!" Will whines throwing his hands in the air
"Your bowlcut? I know" Max giggles watching the boys unchanging expression
"NO! I mean that lesson, He was my blind date!" Will admits
"Who? One of the boys in the class?" furrowing his eyebrows the redhead speaks
"THE GOD-DAMN TEACHER!" Will screams throwing his hands in the air again
"Is that why you were hiding?" A voice appears from behind them, a curly haired boy stood tall, watching the two with a confused look on his face as if he was trying to connect two dots. Will's eyes widen trying to think of an excuse scratching the back of his neck to gain some more time, looking at Max shrug; sticking out her bottom lip.
"Oh, umm don't worry. I won't tell anyone! Scouts Honour!" The curly haired boy chirps holding two fingers to the sky
"You were a scout?" The redhead scoffs
"Still am!" He chuckles
"I'm Dustin by the way!" The boy adds
"Will"
"Max" The trio introduce themselves to one another walking in the same direction, Will facepalms telling himself that Mike won't even notice him. Dustin walks with them, Will likes Dustin, he was easy to talk to and very bubbly. The trio walk to the canteen, the place virtually empty, Will squints his eyes, looking for El, he spots the familiar brunette from across the tables he runs over scaring her, she jumps turning her head around scowling
"That's for scaring me yesterday" Will triumphantly admits crossing his arms. El rolls her eyes, saving the seats for them, the four sit down, including Dustin
"Who is that?" The brunette whispers loudly In Will's ear
"I'm Dustin" The curly haired boy responds upon hearing the whispering.
"I'm El" The brunette smiles, nervously giggling.
"Dustin knows about the blind date... oh and guess who the blind date was?" The brunette remains quiet thinking for a short while
"My English professor" Will sighs, dramatically laying his head on the table, the brunette remains quiet for a short moment , then she roars with laughter, a singular tear drops from her eye, wiping it away with her sleeve, she opens her mouth
Ring
Ring
"Sorry people!" El giggles, taking out her phone from her pocket
"Oh, I'm gonna go take this" She adds getting up from the table walking away to the door, standing it the doorframe Will analysed the movements of his best friend, she swayed side to side, remaining confident at first but then her face morphing into one of shock, her eyes widening engaging eye contact with Will. She switches off the phone stomping back to the group
"He says he wants to marry you, I mean me I mean us" El shouts, waving her arms around in the air.
"Who?" Will eyes widen, getting up attempting to calm down the brunette seething with anger
"Mike" El plainly states
