Summary
“Okay, well, maybe not beefcakes, but I told you, I think at least one of the guys in the theatre department. Like, that guy Chance-”
“Is not even gay, Mike, someone just started that rumor to make fun of him for choosing Drama instead of getting them to waive his art credit like all the other jocks do. I’m also not interested in Chance, for one thing” Mike rolls his eyes, clearly believing Will is an idiot for not just wanting to jump on anything that moves. “for another, I don’t see why I should have to be the one to talk to him, when my best friend is literally the lead in the play this year.”
“You want a wingman?” Mike asks. “Oh, I can be your wingman. You’re not even ready.”

Summary
When Will needs to get his thoughts out of his head, he writes a letter he never intends to send. He addresses it to Mike, and tells him everything.
Feeling lighter than he has in weeks and buoyed by the adrenaline of writing it all out, Will acts on an impulse and ends the letter with, "If you’d be willing to give me a chance, I’d be really happy to date you. If you’re open to trying it, please meet me in Castle Byers this Saturday at 2:00pm. I’m not asking for any promises, I’m not asking for forever or anything like that; all I’m asking is that you give me a chance. Come if you want; if not, I completely understand, no hard feelings, and I’ll never, ever mention this again."
He forgets all about the letter, and the distinctive red envelope he stowed it in, until he turns around to find it missing. Now, Will has to think of some way to stop Mike from reading that letter - or should he wait at Castle Byers on Saturday at 2:00pm and pray for a miracle?
