Summary
"Can we get back to summer plans?" Lucas cuts in. "I feel like there's nothing to really explore here. There's a bowling alley that just opened up, but it's about an hour away."
"Do any of us even know how to bowl?"
"I'm pretty good at it," Max shrugs a shoulder. "I'd leave you all in the dust."
"I bet a dollar you don't get one strike-"
"I might be a bit busy- I'm actually thinking of getting a job," Will pipes up, and Mike's head snaps in his direction so quickly that Will can hear it crack.
"What?"
or, a lifeguard au. Will's trying to focus on getting a job so he can pay off his student loans, but Mike's focusing on ways to get him fired. Dustin just wants the party to stick together this summer. There's no better way to spend the sweatiest months than being employed for $4.25 an hour while dealing with piss in chlorine. And kissing your best friends too, preferably.
