Maybe He's Perfect. [Eddie Munson]

Chapter 3: Watch

March 20th, 1986

  "Baseball, huh? I can't believe I'm doing this."

  Before he knew it, Eddie had made his way over to the field the team practiced on. "God, I'm so out of place here. What am I doing?" he muttered to himself.

  "Eddie? What are you doing here?" He turned around to see a very familiar face. Dustin Henderson.

  "Henderson! Good to see ya, man. To be completely honest, I have no idea why I'm here. What about you? Are you secretly into sports?" Dustin laughed, "Oh God, no. My friend plays, I'm just here to cheer him on and what-not." Eddie scanned the players. They were all the same popular jocks who ran the school with their inhuman good looks and sewage water personalities. "One of these guys? You've stooped low, Henderson."

  Dustin gave his same adorable laugh. "No, man. He's cool. Have you ever actually talked to Nicholas Ford?" Confused, Eddie stated, "Nick "Loverboy" Ford? Cool?" "Yeah, totally. He's my neighbor, actually. We go to the arcade together sometimes." Eddie looked out onto the field at Nick and let out a simple, "huh."

  Catching Eddie's eyes on him, Nick yelled "Water break, guys!" Dustin waved and smiled as Nick came running over. "Hey, Dusty!" Nick said as he gave Dustin his signature fist bump.

  Nick's attention was then put onto Eddie. "Hey, Munson. Wasn't expecting to see you here" He said with a chuckle. "Yeah well, wasn't expecting to be here." Nick reached out his hand and messed up Eddie's hair. "Yeah well, I'm glad you came." He gave Eddie a warm smile.

  Eddie shoved his hand off him, "This takes a lotta time, Ford!"

  Fixing Eddie Munson's hair with both hands and laughing his ass off with him were two things Nick never thought he'd be doing.
