(Yo my dudes who's ready for another glow up.)
Mike Wheeler. 18 years old.
Will Byers,17 years old...
He stares at Will, supposed to be taking notes. He wasn't in the mood though.
You see, 2 months ago there was a party. The first party they'd ever been to.
Mike got drunk and kissed a girl named Beverly.
They kissed along time, even getting a bit handsy.
Will saw the whole thing.
Will drove them home, arguing over this.
-
"Maybe it's because you don't ever kiss me or touch me or-or" mike was slurring his words.
"I kiss you every day! And touch you? I hug you? What else Michael! You tell me. Am I just supposed to forgive you?" Will says angrily, pulling in front of Mike's house.
"Well yes." Mike says, half asleep.
Will inhaled and turned to mike.
"If you really don't want to keep things serious between us, you don't have to. It's been 5 years, almost 6, and you have the nerve to kiss someone else. We aren't 12 or 15 anymore. Maybe we just need a break." He says.
Mike widened his eyes. "I love you W-Will. Cmon."
"I really feel like the spark died Mike. Maybe it can come back to life. We just- we're gonna spend time apart while we think." Will hated saying this, but this wasn't the first time Mike has done things with females, Will not knowing.
"Maybe I would do things with other people-people if you would just love me in a more intimate way." Mike says.
Will gasps quietly.
"I thought loving you unconditionally was enough. But you're just another hormonal teenage boy. What happened to you Michael?" He sighed.
"Leave."
Mike doesn't say a word and exits, stumbling to his door.
For the first time in 5 years, they were in a fight. A real one.

Will looks up,focusing on the board, writing notes rapidly.
A boy goes up to Will, smiling.
Will returned that smile.
"Hi Kole."
Mike tenses. Who was he?
"Can I borrow your notes? My grandma is in the hospital." He whispers.
Will nods, passing over his notebook.
"So, you have a girlfriend Will?"
Will laughs quietly. "No, I don't. I'm not into girls, you?"
Mike twitches at this.
He hated this Kole kid already.
"Nope." Kole pops the p.
"What does that make you into?"
"Boys or girls." Kole whispers, leaning close.
"Is that so?" Will says in a teasing tone.
"Want me to prove it?" Kole whispered in a seductive tone.
That was Mike's breaking point. He gathers his things and ignored the teacher going after him.
He exits the classroom, exiting the school as well.
He was still clinging to that spark and Will was already moved on.
5 years.
Down the drain.
(Enjoy the pain I have caused you)
