Chapter 10
"I know that look on your face." Chad pointed at Will.
"What look?!" Will nearly shouted.
"I see it too." Tad snickered.
"I don't know what the hell you two are talking about."
"Hey guys." Sonny walked up to the group under the tree.
"Hey Sonny." Will smiled when Sonny came up to them.
"Can you be anymore obvious?" Chad said.
"What are you guys talking about?" Sonny asked them.
"I have no idea." Will shook his head.
"Sure." Tad replied and chuckled at them.
"Whatever guys." Will shook his head once more, a little annoyed with his friends.
"Oh, hey Will, I thought of a really good idea for that place." Sonny changed the subject.
"Really?"
"Yeah. I know you probably didn't want to change it. But you don't have to agree on it. You can check it out, see if you like it."
"What are you guys talking about?" Chad asked Will.
"Just an idea that Sonny had."
"Mind if we hear the idea?"
"Uh, not yet. Come on Will." Sonny got up and put his backpack on his shoulder.
"I'm coming. Sorry guys, got to go."
"Yeah you do." Tad exclaimed.
"Shut up." When Will caught up to Sonny, they were face to face with Aaron and his friends.
"Well, look who it is." Aaron replied.
"Fuck off Aaron."
"I'm sorry, do I know you?" He laughed in his brothers face.
"Yeah, he's your brother. You homophobic jerk." Sonny responded before Will got a chance to.
"And you are?"
"None of your fuckin business, asshole. Come on Will, they're not even worth it." Sonny glared at them before he walked off with Will following him.
"You didn't have to do that." Will told Sonny after a few moments of silence.
"Yeah I did. Look Will, he's your brother. Are you really going to let him and his friends make fun of you and walk all over you?"
"No." Will replied with his head hanging low.
"Good. Because they are not worth it. And the reason why I did that, is because I don't like to see you get hurt Will. Come on, let's just forget about them. There is something I want to show you." Will followed Sonny to the library. He smiled to himself knowing that he has a great friend.
Will was silent the whole time as Sonny showed him the things that they should do to the cabin. He made hand gestures to expand more on his drawings. Will sat there with half a smile and rested his chin on his hand as he let his mind wander.
"Will?"
"Yeah." He looked up.
"You haven't said a single word." Sonny laughed at him.
"Oh, sorry. I was just thinking about what you were saying. It sounds great."
"Really! What was I talking about then?" Sonny asked as he stifled a laugh.
"Uh, you were uh, talking about adding this and changing a few things around." Will pointed to the drawing that Sonny made.
"That's half of it. You kind of zoned out for a bit."
"I'm sorry. I really am."
"Will, it's fine. Don't worry about it. I understand you have a lot going on. I don't want to talk you away from any of it." Sonny took his drawings and was about to fold them and put them away.
"That's not it Sonny. I just um... I want to thank you."
"For what?"
"For standing up for me earlier."
"Hey, I'd be glad to stand up for you anytime. I know you would do the same for me."
"I would." They smiled at each other for a minute.
"We better get going to class." Sonny broke the silence.
"Yeah." Will said just above a whisper. He cleared his throat and repeated the word louder. They grabbed their stuff off the table along with their bags and headed out.
"I'll see you later." Sonny called out and walked in a different direction.
"See you." They walked in opposite directions to their own classes. It was going to be a long day. At least that's what Will thought.
