Will and Junk

Remember a few months ago? Will was just a name mentioned in a post, a random passerby in my life. Well, lately, he's become a lot more...there.
It's strange. Before last month, the only interaction we ever really had was whenever he passed me, he'd say my name accusingly. I'd return it with his in the same tone of voice, and no more was said, unless the same exchange went on for a bit.
I guess I owe it to Eliot. He had stolen my seat in English, so I took his, which just happened to be next to Will's. We talked a bit, and he drew a happy face and a dragon...thing on my eraser. I also found out he was one of two ninth graders in the high school musical. (No, not the movies. Our high school put on a musical).
Soon afterwards, in PE, Will helped me with the striking bag, coaching me a bit while Cassie (my parter for weight training) and I were there.
A week or so later, we had a fairly large Bio project due. In Computers, he switched places with Max so we could compare and ink ours together (we had both forgotten that little detail...oops. Still in pencil). We chatted some more, and it was pretty fun.
After a while, we started talking and hanging out more in the three classes we had together (Computers, PE, and English, if you haven't figured it out). I don't know about him, but I certainly have a good time with him.
Emily and Lisa, however, have added him to the list that was formerly just Eliot (they're trying to get me together with both of them now...don't ask me how THAT'S going to work). In the locker room, I mentioned to Emily how I saw her point about Will (She discovered the softness of his hair in eighth grade, and has been randomly stroking it ever since. I finally felt it, and agreed that it was REALLY soft. I told her that I agreed with her, and she said something along the lines of, "Yes, you pet him so he'll stop coming up to me and asking me to"). He seems a lot like a dog sometimes, actually. Like, last week, he was sitting on the floor by me in Computers, and I was just stroking his hair, trying not to laugh. He really looked like a dog. x3
Right. She got that over-adoring look in her eyes--again. "Forget Eliot!" she gushed. "Wha--" I started to say, then buried my face in my hands. "Oh, NO!" I groaned dramatically, then looked back up with a grin. "You're joking, right?" She said she wasn't, but I hadn't really thought she was. As it turned out, she's just added Will in there.
The next day, I blamed Will for something when Lisa and Sam were with me. (He, Sean, and Garrett are at fault for everything, in case you were wondering). Lisa told me she was going to tease me about Will as well, since I talk about him so much (Do I, really? It doesn't seem like it...).
Oh, have I mentioned that Lisa joined Emily the weekend before last on the whole Eliot thing? She was actually pretty adorable, the way she gushed about it...Saturday...and Sunday...and Monday...and later. Oh, well.
Right. So I went to see the musical on Saturday, for opening night. I promised Will I'd go, as well as another friend (Corinna, the other ninth grader in it). It was AMAZING. Will was really good, too, though he didn't have any solos or anything. I've heard him sing, just on his own, before, though, and he's really good.
Afterwards, Katrina (who I went with, other than my mom and her boyfriend) and I waited for the cast to come out. She and Corinna are friends, but she doesn't really know Will.
It took both of them forever to come out. We finally got Corinna, and attacked her, squealing. While we were all talking, I kept one eye out for Will, trying not to look as if I was. Don't need anyone else trying to get us together. -.-
Finally, I saw him, light blond hair standing out as usual among the crowd. I grinned and him and waved, then skirted around my friends to get to him. He grinned back and held his arms open for a hug. I ran into his arms, and hugged him back, telling him that he had done amazingly. We stood like that for a moment, then he went to see if anyone else was there that he knew. I went back to chat with my friends for a while longer. When we got outside, it was still raining, but we had the pumpkin pie I had made earlier (yup, that's right--I MADE IT! Me! With not too many slip ups. Okay, around three. Heh.) waiting for us at home. We dropped Rina off, then ate. Then I went to bed.
Today, Will and I switched places again in Computers, so he could sit next to Max, and I to Holly. Of course, we were still logged in on our real computers, and had some fun with messing with each other. What he had previously set to a stuffed squirrel wallpaper was now some random dude, possibly from the professional version of the play he was in. Then it was a man kissing his infant child. I'm all, like, ...?
Haha.
As for Holly and I, we set a rubber chicken in pants, and a stick of butter, and everything in between as his wallpaper. Then I had the brilliant idea to make a compilation for him of many random pictures. We had the forementioned two, Opra, Dr. Phil, cauliflower, Big Bird, Barbie, Winnie the Pooh, a cat, a bunny, several shoes...and that's about all I can remember at the moment. Then we stuck the hot pink letters spelling "Flower Power" across the top, and it was ready. We put it up, though I can't quite say he was thrilled. We had fun with it, though. And it took us the entire period (we didn't have anything productive to do, for some reason). He came over for a closer look, leaning over me. I tried not to laugh as I wrapped my arms around one of his, supporting himself against the desk. Will is fun.
I was a bit nervous, as a bunch of guys were gathered around my computer, laughing...oh, well. xD Will typed "porn" into a Google search, showing me what he was doing, but he didn't search for it. He said he'd never do that to me. Aww, thanks, Will.
So that was fun. But then he deleted it. I spent most of the rest of the day shunning him, and saying he was mean. He knew I was kidding. Possibly because I was mostly incapable of keeping a straight face. Heh.
I nearly froze in PE, when I had a tshirt and shorts on. Eliot had the same thing on, though he claimed that he was incapable of being cold. I asked him why he wears jackets sometimes, and he said that it got windy while he was biking. Pfft. Then again, I don't see him wearing jackets much. He did when he was sick, and when he got a really awesome one on Halloween. But that's about it.
Afterwards, when I got out of the locker room, I was greeted by Eliot running up to me, shouting back to Daniel, "Faye will know!" What I'd no, I had no idea at the time.
He asked how to play "that one hand clapping game". He started to sort of do it, and I guessed slide.
As it turned out, I was right, and I taught him how to play. He had a few issues but he didn't do as bad as I did when I was learning.
In the middle of the teaching, I feel a head rest on my shoulder. Thinking it's Jenny, who was sad earlier because I was cold and my mom was mean (they wanted to know why I was grounded), I turned to see Will. It was pretty startling, but I grinned at him and continued the game. For some reason, I had had the strangest urge to reach around and hug him.
Oh, on our way to school, I mentioned to Lisa seeing Will in a tux for the play. Haha. When I said that that was one thing I never though I'd see him wearing, she said, "Well, at least it wasn't a show girl costume." I can sorta picture it. Luls.
Right. So this morning, Eliot passed me in the hall as I was waiting for Lisa. "You won the candy!" he called as he walked away. "Are you serious?" I asked, grinning at him as he left. The previous night, I had found an email from him from 10:30 on Friday, saying that he had gotten lots of candy, and would give the first person to reply to his email (he had sent it to everyone he had emails for) would get half of it. Figuring it was too late, I replied anyways.
After the bell rang in PE, he told me to wait a second, and fished around in his backpack. A large bag of candy is pulled out and handed to me. I grin and give him a hug thanking him. Immediately, I have a bunch of people swarming around me, asking for some. People like Jenice, who have never even acknowledged my existence before, got none. Katy begged some from me, and stole the bag. I told the still-begging Will that if he helped me retrieve it, I'd give him some. He tried, I suppose. He took her jacket, which had fallen. She gave it back without taking any, though Will had already left. I told her I'd give her some after school if I saw her. I caught up with Eliot, and we walked to English together.
Once there, Jake, whom I barely talk to, declared that he was my best friend. "Since when?" I asked, hiding a grin. Since three seconds ago, I was told.
Will actually got quite a lot. Eliot, luckily, prevented him from stealing any. My friends got some as well, and I ate plenty.
Today was our last day in English of sitting in our current seats, I realized. I'm pretty sad about that. I'm in the back row, and it's loads of fun. It goes Cassie, Christine, Me, Will, Eliot. There are some people on the other side of Cassie, but they aren't friends. xD
Will and Eliot are great to watch. They're constantly doing something funny. While we were in the middle of reading Oedipus Rex once, they started a heated argument over whether it was physically possible to hang yourself with your own hands. This quickly spread, and Daniel, Jake, Jackson, and I, as well as some others, were involved. Eliot actually asked our teacher, who told us to get back on topic. Heh.
Last week, they discovered that their chest made different sounds when hit. They proceeded to play with their new discovery, trading blows, until they got bored, which took all of sixty seconds or so.
Today, Will got up to sharpen a pencil, and Eliot took his seat, deciding that he had tried to steal my candy enough. Will got back, and asked, "What are you doing?" He then tipped Eliot over, so he was laying in both of their chairs. Will lifted Eliot's legs up so he could sit down, and put them on the floor between the two desks. It was really funny. We had a really tall sub, and Eliot actually asked, in the middle of class, how tall he was. The answer, reluctantly given, was six foot seven. Exactly a foot taller than I am. Oh, I've grown and inch since June. o_o
Will stole my eraser to draw a face and "lulz" on it. Hee.
I'm going to miss our seats. It's been a lot of fun. I hope the next ones will be, too.
After school, Eliot showed me a picture on his O-M-G-iPhone (this is the guy with 4 pairs of $200 jeans, people. o_o) of some strange, yellowed fibers, and asked if I could guess what they were. I couldn't. He showed Daniel, but said it would probably gross me out. I half expected it to be something inappropriate. He insisted that I probably didn't want to see it. Hands on hips, I asked, "Would this gross me out because it's disgusting, or because I'm a GIRL?" He shrugged, and said that it was just because it was gross. I told him to show me, and he did. It was a picture of a dead cow. "Woah," I said. "That's cool. Where'd you find it?" On his friend's property, I was told. And he made a buck off it. He saw it and said, "Hey, look, a dead cow!" And his friend said it was just a rock formation. They made a bet, and Eliot won.
Eliot, Lisa, and I walked out. Before we parted, I gave Eliot another hug, and thanked him again. He hugged me back, holding on for a few moments. After he left, Lisa said that I could not say that I'd never date him. "No way," I replied. "We're just friends!" I've made this protest so many times (and not just with Eliot), that it's getting a bit old. Oh, well. It works well enough. "He gave you a bag of candy!" she argued. "I won it!" I said. "He probably just said you won so he could give it to you!" says Lisa. "Did not!" I protested.
Wow. I think I've been typing this for about an hour. I get really easily distracted. o_o
And I just realized that a lot of this is about Will. o_o That's rather strange. xD Oh, well. The people I know are pretty much the most interesting thing in my life. Virtual candy to anyone who actually read all that.
Eating Life cereal, reading The Realms of the Gods, by Tamora Pierce--again.
Shoutouts to Will, who dominates a very large post, and owes me a sip of his next Jamba Juice; Emmy, who should really blog more, as I miss her; Emily and Lisa, who really need a hobby; Holly, who needs one as well, but has very good ideas regarding Will's wallpaper; Katrina, who's hair was cool today; Ripley, who did Katrina's hair...and that's about it. Until later!

Love,
Faye
