WILL POV-
---- Tuesday 3:22 PM ----
"WOOO!!" Cheers roared around the camp; the teachers decided to have a scavenger hunt through the woods. This would never fly in real life; what type of high school allows students to travel by themselves through a foreign forest? This was in no way legal right? It was lucky this was a comic where there's no legal repercussion for their actions.
The brunette scanned the grounds; the students seemed extremely excited and they ought to be; in the comics this was nicknamed the 'trail of love'. Lucas secretly told them earlier in the train that they had this little activity, but Will already knew; it was in chapter 32 in the comic. It wasn't clear to him how the night would pan out considering the changing of chapters and the messed-up, conflicting plotlines.
Students rejoiced jumping up and down standing outside of the cabins; they all lined up as Mr Clark got their attention.
"CHILDREN!" He clapped his hands together to get the students attention, "Pick out a number from the bowl" He pointed at the large bowl he placed on top of the table; they weren't allowed to choose groups as Mr Clark was worried that this would lead to some less popular students being isolated for the activity and although he commended the actions; Will HATED IT. As a loner kid in high school, he would rather work alone in the woods then have to be with some popular snooty kid who treated him like a carry-on luggage; or even worse, what if he got pared up with his bullies? that would be pandemonium.
He looked up at Mr Clark but zoned him out as he already knew the groupings that would go together from the comic; Mike and El, Max and Lucas, Dustin with some random girl and finally Will with Richie. He paid no mind to it deciding that he would be so unbearable that he could finish the scavenger hunt early and go back to his cabin to spend the rest of the night alone.
The night would probably be the same as yesterday; extremely uneventful. The previous night consisted of miscellaneous chitchat and occasional death stares from both Troy and James during dinner. It was nothing eventful, of course Will was happy he had his friends over to spend his time with so that Troy and James wouldn't dare to lay a hand on him in front of the school's most popular students.
One by one the students picked out an envelope from the bowl waiting in a line all hoping they would have their crush so they could have a romantic walk... through the woods. Yeah, Will wasn't so sure how 'romantic' this was considering the woods was the main place for many horror movies, but he shrugged scooting beside that point as it was his turn to pick out a card. Scanning it neatly placed within a small red envelope.
The brunette stood to one side searching for his friends, shrugging as he assumed they were just looking for their own partners. Sighing, Will unwrapped the envelope pulling it out it's coloured sleeve about to open it.
"Hey Will!" A voice called running over, it was Lucas a bright smile on his face "What number do you have?"
"I haven't opened it yet" The brunette tilted his head
"Oh... want to open them together?" Lucas questioned nervous, hoping luck was on his side putting them together for the activity. Bashfully smiling seeing the smaller boy nod; unwrapping the cards as Lucas counted down
