school had started back up again after everything that happened that summer they all just wanted to forget everything that happened that summer. it was after school they all went down to the quarry bev eddie richie and ben were playing chicken taking turns knocking each other over into the water while mike was still working at his grandfathers farm. bill and stan were off to the side out of the water, stan was bird watching while bill laid beside him watching the four in the water wreastle. the sun was bright and shining in the last few days of summer weather. bill turned around so that he was now lying on his stomach trying to lean over seeing what stan had in his notebook while stans eyes fixated in the tree scouting out birds. bill watched in fascination wondering how the boy could just sit there for hours without getting bored. the four that were once in the water emerged bill sitting up. "does anyone wanna go to the arcade I'm bored as fuckk" richie wined."I have to go home for dinner soon momma will be worried if I get home late" eddie said. bev and ben also turned down the offer leaving only bill and stan left to decide. "I'm going to stay here and bird watch for a little while longer" stan stated." y-yeh-yeah same don't fe-feel like leaving yeh-yet" bill said. " oh fuck you guys'' richie said walking away as he waved good bye flipping the others off at the same time. the others soon left leaving just bill and stan. bill scooted himself towards stan lying his back along his side plucking dandie lions placing them in stans lap. stan continues to bird watch looking down everyonce in a while to see the pile of dandilions growing flattening and evening them out every once in a while. bill leaned back not having anymore dandilions to pull out of the ground looking up at the sky covered in the branches of the trees above them. stan closing his eyes yawning leans his curly head of hair onto bills head closing his eyes as well. "find any new ones'' bill says. "no" stan says quietly "not a single one''. bill can tell he's upset asking "want to go down to the corner store'' turning his head to face the water tilting his head upwards looking at stans closed eyes. "sure why not" stan says while slowly lifting up bills head off his shoulder standing up letting all the dandilions fall off his lap bill follows him heading back up to the top. the two put back on their clothing bill a pair of jeans and a tee-shirt with a crappy store print stan a striped polo shirt and a pair of khaki shorts. checking their pockets bill had 4.95 and stan had 5 crisp doller bills folded in his pocket. stan kicked up his kick stand as bill grabbed his bike off the ground he looked over at stan asking "r-race?" stan nodded in agreement them both taking off. bill trying to take the lead while stan grew at a steady pace catching up to bill since he had taken off first bill constantly looking back at stans smile making sure he wasn't catching up to fast. bill turns the corner stan following racing up the street to the corner store finally stopping at his destination lookingback at stan who was a few seconds close to pulling up next to him. both boys slightly out of breath walked up to the bike rack placing them neatly then walking into the store. " what should we get we have 9.95 in total we could get a slushie and some chips?" stan suggests. "yeah s-shu-sure" bill replies with a faint glow in his cheeks. the boys headed over to the slushie grabbing a large cup then deciding to get a mix of Pepsi and cherry then heading over to the chips to select the ones that would be the least dirty deciding on a bag of original lays. the two boys paid walking out the store to sit on the side of the street. the boys were constantly close never thought much about it they shared drinks and leaned against each other they just always have. every once in a while they would get butterflys and blush faintly but they never thought much of it henry would mention it every once in a while but in their defence he was also stupid. sitting there watching the sun gleam before they had to head home.
