Will just found out that he has a week long project that he has to do with his partner "to get to know eachother better" which is absolute bullshit in wills opinion. He didn't want to work with Mike and Mike didn't want to work with him. The project was about what you have in common with a star or planet. So Will and Mike had actually find things in common, that also fit with a star. 
                          
"so what's this whole thing about?" Mike asked, leaning on the table. 
                          
"were you not paying attention the whole time? she explained everything! here just read the paper and if you have any questions, ask me." Will huffed and handed the paper to mike. When Mike took the paper, Will shifted all his weight to one leg and crossed his arms across his chest. As mike read the paper, his eyebrows furrowed. 
                          
"this is so gay. why do we have to see if we are the same as a star? literally no one cares." Mike scoffed and put the paper on the table. I nodded. 
                          
"well we have to do it wether we like it or not so we should start working." Will suggested. Mike groaned. 
                          
"I don't feel like working with a fag. We aren't gonna have anything in common. you're all girly and like a fucking princess or something and I'm like a normal man." Mike stated, staring directly into Wills eyes. Will felt his blood boil and had the sudden urge to kick him in the balls so hard he'll faint. Will just looked away.
                          
"i don't feel like working with a douche either but I have too so let's just get it over with." Will glared at mike as he said that and grabbed the paper. Mike shoved Will, causing him to fall on the floor and wince in pain. 
                          
"you wanna go faggot? cause I'll beat your ass. don't ever fuckin talk to me like that, ya twink. understood?" Mike shouted at Will. Will just glared at him. "speak when spoken too." Mike said through clenched teeth. 
                          
"I understand." Will mumbled, looking down. 
                          
"what was that fa-" 
                          
"I SAID I UNDERSTAND." Will yelled getting up and running out of the classroom. 
                          
-end of the school day-
                          
Will looked at himself in the boys bathroom mirror. The mirror was scuffed up and dirty and cracked but will didn't care. He just tried to make it look like he wasn't crying for half an hour. Will jumped when the door opened. It was just some random kid.. he wished it was mike coming in to apologize. who was he kidding..mike wouldn't apologize. Mike is too busy at whatever sport he plays practice. Will laughed to himself for a second, remember hearing that mike didn't make the basketball team. Will left the bathroom, walked outside, got on his bike, and rode home.
                          
When he got home there was no one there. His mother was probably still at work and johnathan is out taking pictures or something. Will went to his room and sat on his bed. He put his backpack in front of him and unzipped it, pulling out his homework. The phone rung. Will groaned and got up. He walked out of his room and off into the kitchen. He picked up the phone. 
                          
"Byers residence, Will speaking," will greeted into the phone, sounding annoyed. 
                          
"hey will, uh it's mike. I was wondering if you wanted to come over or if I could go over there and work on the project with you..." Mike sighed into the phone. Will rolled his eyes. 
                          
"either will work out." will said. 
                          
"okay cool, then just pick one." mike replied. 
                          
"i'll just go to yours i guess." will shrugged and leaned against his wall. 
                          
"okay, see ya in a bit." Mike said with a smile and hung up. Will put his phone back on the wall and whined. He really didn't want to go to mikes. Why did he agree to this anyway? Will rushed to his room to get ready. He got on a green and yellow striped sweater that was a little oversized and blue mom jeans. He tucked the sweater into his jeans and cuffed the ends of the jeans. He grabbed his backpack and walked back to the kitchen, grabbed his keys and walks outside. 
                          
Will parked in mikes driveway. He surprisingly remembered where his house was from when they were younger. He grabs the keys, his bag and walks up to the door. He knocks softly. He hears someone shuffling to the door. he saw the doorknob twist and the door being yanked open. He tilted his head up at the tall ravenette.
                          
His sharp cheekbones were dotted with light freckles, his almost black hair was messy and perfect. his small nose and hugs lips just completed the perfect picture. He could stare at that face forever.
                          
"so you gonna speak or just stare, byers?" Mike asked, a small smirk tugging at the ends of his lips. Will blushed and looked down. 
                          
"sh-shut up." will mumbled, trying not to smile. Mike stepped aside so Will could walk in. Will walked inside and turned around, waiting for mike. Mike shut the door and walked passed will, walking over to the kitchen table. Will followed Mike. On the table had a big poster paper and supplies. Wills eyes widened. 
                          
"So what now?" Mike asked, breaking the silence. Will looked around. 
                          
"well we gotta research about stars first, do you have the books for it? If not, you can share with me I guess." Will explained, taking his bookbag off his shoulder and placing it on the chair. Mike looked around. 
                          
"I might have some books in the living room, also I don't read so i'll just find the things in common." Mike said, pushing the hair out of his eyes with his hand. Will glared at Mike and then unzipped his bookbag, taking his textbooks out. 
                          
"fine, at least you're doing work." will huffed. He put the textbooks on the table and started looking for information.
                          
After the whole project session, They surprisingly got a lot of the poster done. They didn't fight that much and found a lot in common. Will has a whole new perspective of mike, but still knows what he's like deep down. He just wishes he would forget about his reputation and just be nice..
