Will Grayson, Will Grayson Chapter 12 Summary

will grayson

  • By the time will grayson gets home from Chicago, he has twenty-seven texts from Tiny. He's still pretty devastated about Isaac not existing, but he also decides that he just does not care.
  • So when he sees his mom standing in the kitchen, he goes ahead and tells her he's gay.
  • His mom is surprised, but pretty darn cool about it. She was wondering who Isaac was anyway—will kept saying his name while he was sleeping.
  • Um, yeah… Isaac. will tells her that he saw him in Chicago, and his nickname is actually Tiny even though he's huge. (Nice cover, will.)
  • will's mom just hugs him. Yay for mother-son bonding.
  • Mom also mentions that Maura called, but will tells her that Maura is pretty much a jerkface and he doesn't ever want to talk to her again. Fair enough.
  • After all this love and goodness, will heads to his room and creates a new screen name and starts chatting with Tiny. The future's looking pretty darn good.
  • Tiny sends will an audio file with one of the songs from Tiny Dancer on it. It's all about how Tiny realized he was gay at summer drama camp; Tiny is hoping it will inspire will.
  • will just thinks it sounds really gay, though to be fair, will isn't much into musicals. He is, however, touched by the gesture. Oh, Tiny.
  • At school the next day, will spends a whole bunch of time ignoring Maura, who keeps trying to apologize like crazy. Not sure exactly how you say sorry for inventing a whole person and betraying your friend, but hey, it's worth a shot, we guess.
  • At lunch, will decides to come out and let Simon and Derek in the on the truth: He's gay.
  • Simon is mildly disgusted for a minute, but then will points out how weird and gross opposite sex relationships are, too. Simon has to admit he has a point. Crisis adverted.
  • Tiny texts will about every two seconds, which should annoy him but doesn't because Tiny is all happiness and joy all the time.
  • After school, Maura tries to talk to will again—she found out that he told people he's gay and that he met someone in Chicago—but will totally shuts her down. Seriously, Maura, you brought this on yourself.
  • The next day at school, will thinks he might be noticing a little teeny tiny gay backlash, but it's nothing major. Plus he doesn't care, so take that, bullies.
  • Maura doesn't try to talk to him today, though. It's weird because will misses Isaac, but he doesn't miss Maura, even though Isaac was Maura. Basically, will just wants her to go away and leave him alone.
  • Later that day, a kid named Gideon comes up to will. Gideon is gay, too, and just wants to welcome will to the club and be supportive and all.
  • Oh, and ask will out.
  • Wow. will lets Gideon down easy, since he already has a boyfriend and all.
  • That night, will and Tiny are talking and will says he wants to visit; this relationship can't be all in his head like it was with Isaac.
  • Of course Tiny is down. How soon can will get there?
