Chapter 2. You Know You Love Me

~Richie Tozier~
Richie "Trashmouth" Tozier pulled his skateboard from his locker and sighed to himself, thinking about his last conversation with Eddie Kaspbrak, well, not Eddie, "Eds".

'Ugh, Eds.' Richie thought to himself.

He was so pretty. His eyes were so beautiful, and his freckles. God, his freckles. And his cute smile and his laugh practically took Richie's breathe away. But Richie was 100% straight. He just really admired his friend.

His train of thought was broken when he shut his locker and jumped practically 10 feet in the air to see Stanley Uris leaned against the locker beside him, with his nose buried in a book, most likely about birds.

Trying to play it cool (like Stanley didnt just scare the living shit out of him), he tried to strike up conversation.

"Oh hey Staniel the Mani-"

"Shut your hole. I'm not in the mood today bitch." Stan said without looking up from his book.

"Aww whats the matter? Is someone upset that Billy still hasn't asked him out yet? Y'know, him and Beaverly broke up two weeks ago, it's your time to shine, Birdy! I could give you some pointers, I am quite the ladies man, after all." Richie said, flaunting his tacky Hawaiian shirt.

"Please. My pet hamster probably gets more action than you. And for the last fucking time, I'm not gay!" Stan said, shifting his weight from one foot to the other.

Richie has known his friends forever, so he has a sixth sense for when they're bullshitting.
Richie just sat there, and before he could stop himself, he bursted out laughing.

"You're not gay? PFFT- AND IM MADONNA- I mean I do look good in these jeans don't I-" Richie said as he did a twirl.
Stan just sat unamused, this was nothing different, though it did bruise Richie's ego a bit.

"Bitch, I just came to ask if you had a pencil, i didn't ask for fashion week." Stanley said.

"Well someones prickly today— why do you need a pencil anyways? Don't you have like a million in your booksack?"
"Why do you think i need a pencil, dipshit. To write something. I forgot my pencil bag at home."

Richie thought to himself a bit, and opened his locker.
"Oh fuck off, you know you love me" Richie
said while digging for a pencil.

"I would sell you for a bucket of KFC, don't test me." Stan said, still looking at his book.

"I- well thats flattering. Sorry Staniel Urine, I don't think I have a pencil, but i have a pen! Will that do?" Richie said while pulling Eddie's pen out of his locker. Richie probably had more of Eddie's school supplies than his own, he was constantly losing his stuff.

"Yeah, sure. I'll give it back tomorrow, thanks Trashmouth." Stanley said as he closed his book and walked down the hall to leave the school.

"Tell your mom I said thanks for last night! I hope she's walking!" Richie called from down the hallway.

Stan simply stuck up his middle finger and kept walking.

Richie sighed to himself, "That gay motherfucker."

He headed down the hall to leave school, as he walked off campus, he could see Beverly and Bill talking. Normally, he would go over there and bother them, but they had serious expressions, so he knew better. The last time he interrupted one of their serious conversations, Beverly threw a toaster at him.

'I wonder what that's about..." Richie thought to himself.

When he arrived home, he threw his backpack on the ground and went to go sit on the couch.
But as if on cue, Beverly burst through the door.

"Hey Beaver! Thats a pretty dress-" Richie said ironically. Her dress was soaked. Probably from Greta.

Bev paced around his living room. "BILL IS GAY, BILL DENBROUGH IS GAY! i mean i support him, of course, because i love him, BUT HE'S GAY! I NEVER SAW THAT COMING! is THAT why he dumped me? IS THAT WHY? Richie, HELP. ME."
Richie just sat there in shock.

"I KNEW IT! Mike owes me $20." Richie mumbled.

"NOT THE TIME!"

Richie thought to himself for a bit, and blurted, "Okay well since we're on the gay topic, I'm—"

"Yes, yes we know you're gay, Richie. We established that a long time ago."

"WHAT?! NO WE DIDNT! I NEVER TOLD ANY OF YOU!"

"Rich, it was pretty obvious.."

'it was?' he thought to himself, well if that was obvious, then how obvious was it that he had a HUGE crush on Eddie?

(A/N: YIKES-)
