Will was in love with you, but you were one of the popular kids. One of the ones who played soccer.

His friends knew, because they had noticed how he looked at you in the school yard, or how he looked at you in PE class, even in the locker room. The only one who knew was Mike, because Will trusted him enough to tell him, and he had told him that it wasn't going to end well.

But everything changed one day when the chemistry teacher decided to form teams for a project and separated Will from the group, pairing him with you.

Thanks to that, you discovered you had more in common than you thought. For example, D&D, which you used to play with your younger sister.

You started hanging out with him more, and when his friends started to leave him out, you were the one who was there for him.

You don't know how, but you started dating. No one knew, well, except Joyce and Jonathan, Will's mother and brother.

Now you were with your friends at the mall. You had just bought ice cream and were sitting there eating and chatting, but Will still wasn't used to being in that group, so he was quiet.
