babys first fic ♡
it was the week before summer break, everyone didn’t care about getting their homework done, the only care in the world was having a summer boyfriend, even if they were gonna breakup with them right when school starts back up.
lucas, max, dustin, will, you, and mike all sat down at the lunch table, groaning in disgust of the school lunch. some slop of creamed corn, burnt tatertots, busted milk carton, and green beans.
“what the fuck even is this? it looks radioactive.” mike mumbled picking at the neon green beans, dustin and lucas snickered while you giggled mike squinting at you with a look of irritation which made you stop abruptly.
you had joined the party a few months ago, knowing a friend of a friend who introduced them to you yet one of them, cough cough, mike wheeler, wasn’t fond of you. max had talked to you about it saying it was something he did two years back with her yet he forgave her after a week.
though it’s been longer than a week, it’s been months and he still hasn’t took you in as an actual friend, but it didn’t bother you as much maybe he had stuff at home that made him that way to you.
you and dustin were the only ones with actual home lunch, you had this cool metal lunchbox with hearts on it while dustin had a brown paper bag. both pulling out foods that looked heavenly in-front of school lunch.
“watcha got?” dustin asked nodding his head at your lunchbox as he pulled out his stuff, you took out a peanut butter sandwich unaware of his allergy, dustin slowly backing up in his seat.
“woah, y/n you wanna kill him? he’s allergic to peanut butter, dumbass.” mike scowled squinting at you again, your hands immediately flying up in defense, the sandwich dropping to your lap.
lucas nudged mike in the shoulder as a silent communication to tell him to ‘shut the hell up’ considering how rude he was towards you.
mike of course letting out a huff and a silent “what!?” as if he hadn’t done anything wrong, scrunching his nose up.
you gulped, hands slowly going back down as you picked it off your lap. “oh, uh sorry, didn’t know.” you mumbled putting away the sandwich to eat later, now having to starve by only eating a granola bar.
minutes later the bell rang, lunch time was over your enthusiastic mood a little deflated after the previous conversation with mike.
you all walked into gym class, the last class of the day a loud groan leaving one another mouth’s. “great, dodgeball.” max muttered rolling her eyes as she walked into the girls locker room.
everyone came back out the locker-rooms, wearing their now gym outfits which some didn’t even need to change.
the gym teacher divided a bunch of people on each side, you, max and dustin being on one side while lucas, will and mike stood on the other side which wasn’t good.
you didn’t want to be split up, max and lucas pouting at one another considering they were dating and would be horrible going against each other.
“shit, i don’t even know how to play dodgeball.” dustin mumbled stretching his arm to make it seem like he was doing something.
“I’m actually pretty decent.” you mumbled with a smile and in the corner of your eye you can see mike’s face contorting in a annoyed way hoping not at you.
“one, two, three, go!” the gym teacher yelled throwing his hand down as everyone grabbed dodgeballs, hitting one another immediately.
balls flew around the room, people screaming and some sitting out in disappointment that they got out so fast.
it had only been two minutes in were it was only around seven people on each side, you and a few randoms and mike and a few randoms.
you weren’t trying to get him out, like at all. since he was your friend, you avoided him like the plague but then as you bent down grabbing a ball it had felt like time slowed down as you got back up.
mike had flung a ball right at you, but not at your neck or down, directly at your face making your head fling back the gym teacher yelling. “out!”
you sadly walked to the bleachers sitting beside the group, max patting your back as she saw you mess with your nose.
she looked over at you fondly with a slight frown, your nose looking like you were secretly rudolph’s twin sister. “you good?” max had asked, her voice was a whisper as she leaned in to get a better look.
“ ‘m sure it was just a mistake.” you mumbled feeling as if your nose was bleeding but no styrofoam dodgeball could do that, your eyes going to the last few players.
“how is mike even doing this?” lucas mumbled pointing at his lanky figure, “he’s built like a bendy pencil.” dustin started with a chuckle, max giggling at that comment.
yet you, you didn’t laugh, didn’t smile you just stared at mike wondering why he didn’t like you, wondering if he did mean that throw.
minutes later mike’s team had won, but you had fled to the bathroom as if to hide from him somehow, mike high-fiving everyone, his eyebrows furrowing in confusion at the sight of you being gone.
but then he realized, you were gone. maybe not fully or officially but a smirk slowly lifted onto his face, excited he got his friends all to himself and not people-pleaser-y/n there to take all the attention.
dustin looked dumbfounded, he never knew mike could do such a thing, him, lucas, will and max usually made fun of his lanky-ness and whatnot saying stuff like “you look like you can’t even lift a bag of chips.”.
you had washed your hands with a roughness even you didn’t know you had in you, a stinging sensation had finally met your senses, realizing you had been biting your cheek the entire time.
a girl in the bathroom giving you the strangest look before leaving with a scoff, a hand to her hair brushing it back in the most obvious way.
“i didn’t know you had it in you.” max mumbled to mike, nudging him in his shoulder playfully. “i guess i jus’ got a little motivation, yknow?” he muttered back with the smuggest grin ever.
