    Summary

    “We have to kill him,” Mike finishes fiercely, and for a second, Will pictures him in full paladin gear, making the same speech in a castle, or a magical forest, or a dark dungeon. He’s every bit the boy Will’s always known, the one who stands up for his friends and his principles and never, ever backs down. Even when the odds are against them. Even when they’re impossible.

    Will swears that he can feel electricity crackling in the air, Mike’s last sentence settling on the group like a physical weight. Everyone looks impressed: Jonathan, Hopper, even Owens. Will knows the look on his own face must be incredibly obvious, incredibly stupid.

    He doesn’t care. That’s the Mike he knows. That’s the Party’s leader.

    That’s the boy Will fell in love with.

    Summary

    On Monday, Will shows up to school wearing glasses.

    After a lifetime of getting bullied for being a nerd, he’d rather show up to school covered in live ants, but it actually goes fine. Weirdly well, even. Jennifer Hayes asks him to carry her books to Geometry, and Denise King enthusiastically volunteers to be his lab partner in Chem. Will is all too aware of the attraction he somehow poses to the school’s most sought-after girls, but this feels like another level. Maybe it’s a charity case thing now, because of the glasses.

    “It’s not,” Max tells him frankly at lunch. “You just look really hot with glasses.”

    Summary

    “Well, it was nice meeting you two,” David said. He leaned forward towards Will, and gave him a single, light pat on his head.

    “And I’ll see you around,” he said softly.

    Will blinked up at him in a daze, eyes wide and cheeks gaining a tint of pink again.

    Mike stared, stunned. Did he just touch Will’s hair? Mike was the only one that ever did that!

    Mike's semester takes a serious turn when—
    A) He realizes he's in love with his best friend
    B) A popular handsome senior takes interest in said best friend, and he can't stand it
