"i wish i were..."

                          
it was a week before thanksgiving break and will was hanging out  at alexander's house.
                          
"so wait, michelle doesn't know that you're gay?" alex asked.
                          
"no, but my friends from back home didn't know that i was for a while, either, so i don't blame her for not knowing." will shrugged.
                          
"true, and you didn't know that i was bisexual when you came, either, so you can't really blame people for not knowing." alex pointed out.
                          
"yeah, you're right." will agreed.
                          
"how long are you staying in your hometown with your old friends?" alex asked as he put a pretzel in his mouth.
                          
"for the whole week. we'll be back by the time school starts again." will replied.
                          
alex shifted closer to will until they were inches apart. will's eyes got wide.
                          
"well, i'm really gonna miss you." alex whispered.
                          
will inhaled and didn't know what do to. 
                          
"yeah, uh, well i um...should probably go it's getting really late." will stammered.
                          
it was only 5pm, but will felt uncomfortable and wanted to go home.
                          
"oh," alex scooted back. "right, i'll see you later, will."
                          
"bye." will replied and biked home.
                          
as will started riding home, he remembered  biking and having fun with the party and how much he missed it. 
                          
"i'm home, mom!" will called.
                          
"hi, hon, how was hanging out with alex?" joyce asked.
                          
"it was good." will lied.
                          
"good. did you talk to mike today?" joyce asked.
                          
"yeah, i decided to call him before school instead of after because i knew i'd be with alex." will explained.
                          
"well, at least you got to talk to him today." joyce smiled.
                          
the front door then opened revealing eleven.
                          
"el? where did you go?" 
                          
"i was with michelle and steven at the park." eleven answered.
                          
"did you finally get michelle and steven to kiss?" will smirked.
                          
"almost." el smiled. "i don't think they wanted to because it was in front of me and it might have been a little weird."
                          
"true. everyone's so...different here." will sat down on the couch.
                          
"yes, but i like these people, they're nice." el stated.
                          
"i guess so, but i miss the party, a lot." will muttered.
                          
"me too. just think, one more week until you can see mike." eleven reminded.
                          
"yeah." will smiled.
                          
"steven told us something."
                          
"what did he tell you?"
                          
"he said that alexander talks about you to him too much." eleven repeated.
                          
will furrowed his eyebrows at first, but then started to think about how weird alex was acting when will was there and he put two and two together.
                          
"oh, i'm sure it's nothing. anyways, i'm going to go upstairs and draw. bye." 
                          
will quickly went upstairs to his room.
                          
"shit, shit, shit."
                          
will hoped that what he was thinking wasn't true.
