It had been a week since the incident between Will and I in the lift that had ended in us admitting our feelings for each other, and yet somehow, nothing had changed. Will had texted me like he said that he would, and we had talked for hours that night. But then I went into school the next day and went straight to Will, only to have him shut me down and be a dick to me in front of his friends.

I walked into school, my heart fluttering at the thought of seeing Will. We'd been texting non-stop since last night, and had had some lovely conversations. I looked up, my lips curling into a smile as I saw him stood by his locker with his mates.

"Hey." I spoke, alerting him and his friends to my presence. His friends sniggered and chuckled to themselves as Will looked at me with a completely emotionless face.

"What do you want?" he scoffed. My smile dipped slightly and my eyes widened at his harsh tone.

"Um, to talk?" I chuckled sarcastically.

"Why would I want to talk to ya? Can you not just leave is the fuck alone?" he groaned and shook his head. My smile dipped completely, my heart breaking as I realised what was happening.

"Right. I get it." I nodded, trying to stop tears from pricking my eyes as I walked away from Will.

"Fuckin' finally, man." I heard him mumble, making a tear leave my eye as I walked away.

That had broken me. Since then, I hadn't texted him, and had also ignored his attempts to start a conversation. If he wouldn't admit to his friends that he liked me out of fear of his reputation being ruined, we wouldn't have a relationship. It was as simple as that.

"Miss Y/L/N." I snapped back as I heard my name being called. I looked at my teacher, my eyes widening slightly and my cheeks heating up in embarrassment.

"S-sorry, I was daydreaming." I admitted quietly.

"It's not like you to get distracted. Is everything okay?" she asked.

"I'm fine." I lied, adding a nod to it as well.

"Okay. Well can you take these exam papers up to science, like I asked?" she asked. I nodded, not bothering to respond as I stood from my desk and took the papers from her before heading out of the classroom. I walked along the empty corridors, everyone else occupied with class as I pressed the button for the lift. The doors opened and I walked in before pressing the button for the science floor.

"Hold it!" My eyes widened slightly as a hand that I recognised grabbed the door, soon followed by a familiar square head. Will's eyes widened slightly as he also saw me.

"Fancy seeing you here." He smiled as he got into the lift.

"I know, it's just my luck." I mumbled, making Will's smile dip as the lift doors closed and the lift moved up. Will looked at me.

"So, what's with the radio science? You haven't responded to is since Tuesday." He spoke.

"I'll let you work that one out, Will." I muttered, my eyes still glued to my feet.

"I'm serious, pet. It's not nice having not heard anything from you." He scoffed.

"And it's not nice to still be bullied by the guy who admitted that he liked me." I nodded as I turned to face him. His eyes wavered and he sighed as he looked down.

"Aye, I, erm, I'm sorry about that, lass. It's just that you know what me mates are like. They'd take the piss until the day that I die if they found out that I was going out with the girl who I used to bully." He spoke. My eyes widened.

"Oh. So, that's the problem. You're embarrassed to be seen with me." I stated, my eyes wavering at the thought that broke my heart. Will's eyes widened.

"Shit, no, not at all! I just need to be tactical about when and how I tell them." He gulped.

"No, Will, you don't. If they were really your friends, they wouldn't care about who you date and if you really liked me, you wouldn't care about your fucking reputation so much so that you don't want to admit that we're chatting. I can't believe that I actually listened to you." I choked and shook my head.

"Y/N, everything that I said was true, I swear on me mam's life. I can't explain it, just trust me. I will tell them, I just need to figure out when." He insisted. I scoffed and shook my head, turning to face the lift doors again as they opened.

"You don't need to tell them anything, Will. Because we're not chatting anymore." I spoke as I walked out of the lift, making Will's eyes widen.

"Y/N, wait!" he yelled after me, but I ignored him as I walked away from the lift.

"He's a dickhead, Y/N, you could do so much better." My friend sighed, comforting me as we stood in the lunch queue and I talked about what had happened with Will.

"I know, I just, I really liked him, and I was over the moon to find out that he liked me too. So, it hurts that he cares more about his fucking reputation and friends than he does about a relationship with me." I mumbled. She sighed again and nodded, gently rubbing my back. Suddenly, her gaze moved past me and her eyes widened.

"Oh my god." She scoffed. My eyebrows furrowed at her reaction to whatever it was as I also turned around to look. My eyes widened, gasps and laughs starting to fill the lunch hall as Will climbed up onto one of the tables.

"Can I have everyone's attention, please!" he yelled, making everyone look at him.

"What the fuck is he doing?" I scoffed.

"I think that we're about to find out." My friend chuckled, making me gulp and bite my lip.

"At the start of this week, I admitted to Y/N Y/L/N that I liked her, and she told me that she liked me back." He admitted. My eyes widened as laughs erupted throughout the lunch hall.

"I know that she got branded the school nerd, and I know that I got branded the school bully, and that those things don't really go hand in hand, but I don't give a shit. I really like her. She's beautiful, smart, funny and just amazing, and anyone who makes fun of is for liking her can fuck off!" he yelled, making everyone laugh again. I couldn't help but chuckle and shake my head, my heart swelling at Will's somewhat romantic gesture.

"William Lenney! Get down right now!" a teacher yelled as he rushed towards the table.

"Right, sorry, just wanted to say that." He smiled, looking at me as everyone started clapping and cheering. I chuckled and shook my head, looking at Will as he walked towards me.

"You're a dickhead, mate." I nodded, making him laugh and return the nod.

"Aye, I know. Hopefully, though, I'm a dickhead who you're going to continue chatting to?" he asked hopefully. I sighed, studying his face as I thought.

"I suppose so." I teased, making Will smile as he leant down and hugged me tightly.
