"i wish i were..."
"hey, will, i'm going to walk with michelle and steven, do you want to join us?" el asked.
"uh, sure, i'm just finishing this drawing." will agreed.
"okay." el nodded and went downstairs.
he sighed and put his art stuff on his desk.
he picked a random outfit to wear and grabbed his coat and gloves and made his way downstairs.
"are you ready?" el asked.
"yeah, let's go." will replied.
"will and i are going to meet steven and michelle!" el called.
"have fun, kids!" joyce yelled.
will and el left the house. it was cold outside and there was snow on the ground, but at least they had jackets and gloves on.
"so, where are we meeting them?" will asked.
"michelle's house. i think steven is already there." el answered.
will nodded and they walked in silence. it wasn't an awkward silence, it was a nice silence.
about 10 minutes later, they arrived at michelle's house and el rang the doorbell.
"coming!" a voice shouted.
a tall, older, blonde woman that looked exactly like michelle answered the door.
this was michelle's mom, sharon. will and had only seen her a couple of times.
"will, el, come on in, kids." sharon greeted.
"are michelle and steven here?" el asked.
"yes, they're upstairs, you kids can go up if you'd like." sharon answered.
"okay, thank you." will smiled.
"anytime." sharon smiled back.
will and el went upstairs and walked down the hallway to michelle's room.
the door to her room was open a small crack and there was music playing. will pushed the door open to see michelle and steven making out.
will's eyes widened and el's jaw dropped. michelle and steven jumped apart when they saw el and will.
"uh...hey guys....we were just, um..." michelle stammered.
"we saw...everything." will said.
"right, well, uh you see, michelle and i are...dating now." steven revealed.
el and will looked back at each other and then back at the other two.
"oh, well, congratulations." el frowned.
"thanks. we should probably get going before it starts snowing again." michelle mentioned.
"oh, yeah, totally." will agreed.
michelle and steven both got their coats, gloves, and shoes, and the 4 friends headed out.
"how long has this been going on?" will raised his eyebrows.
"not that long. maybe a couple of days." michelle answered.
"yeah, it was pretty recent. we wanted to keep it a secret for a little while, but you guys came, so i guess it's not a secret anymore." steven added.
"oh, sorry." el apologized.
"no, don't be sorry, it's really not a big deal." michelle assured.
steven intertwined his hand with michelle's hand and will pursed his lips while el looked away.
will furrowed his eyebrows at eleven. he was confused as to why she didn't want to see them holding hands, she was the one who wanted them to get together in the first place.
"hey, are you okay?" he whispered to el.
"yeah, just cold." she lied.
"are you sure?" will asked again.
she nodded and looked at michelle and steven's hands again.
"el, i know you're lying." will muttered.
"can we just talk later?" el murmured.
will sighed. "fine."
"is everything okay over there?" steven asked.
"yeah, everything's okay, el's just really cold." will lied
"oh my gosh, el, why didn't you tell me! i have a hat in my pocket!" michelle exclaimed.
she dug around in her pocket and pulled out the hat.
"but that is for you." el stated.
"i don't need it, you do, though, just take it, it's fine, i promise." michelle said.
"okay." el took the hat from her and placed it on her head.
"you look so cute." michelle smirked.
"thanks." el blushed.
will looked between the two girls, and finally figured out why el was being weird about michelle and steven.
"so, where exactly are we going?" will asked.
"i don't know, just walking." michelle shrugged.
the four walked around town for a little while, just talking.
finally, el and will went back home.
"hey, were home, mom!" will yelled.
"alright, hon!" joyce called.
"hop and i we're thinking of ordering food, do you want pizza or chinese?" she stepped out of the kitchen.
"chinese." will and el echoed at the same time.
"okay, chinese it is. did you have fun?" joyce asked.
"yeah, we just walked around and talked, it was pretty nice." will replied.
"good, i'm glad." joyce smiled.
she gave will and el each a kiss on the head, then went over to the phone.
will pulled el upstairs to his room and closed the door.
"i know why you were acting weird!" will exclaimed.
"shh, lower your voice, will!" eleven scolded.
"sorry, sorry." will apologized.
"so, why do you think i was acting weird?"
"you like michelle!" will whisper-shouted.
el looked down at michelle's hat in her hands. she opened her moth to say something, but she couldn't find the words to say.
word count: 845
