❝CHICKEN FIGHT!❞

AFTER EDDIE HELPED BANDAGE Ben's waist, I decided it was time to go home. "I'm gonna go now. I'll see you guys tomorrow," I smiled.
"You're leaving? Fair well then, m'lady," Richie said with a playful manner, still using the 'British' accent.

"Bye," Stanley and the others waved as I picked up my bike and rode away. It wasn't long till I got home and spent the rest of my day doing whatever I felt wasn't boring.

MY FACE SCRUNCHED AS I woke abruptly. Beeping of my alarm clock was heard but it was faint, as if in the background of my mind. Still laying in bed, I stirred for a moment before deciding to get up.

Yet again, I remembered the plans I had with my friends and it wasn't long till I had to meet with them. I always had a problem with waking early when I needed too.

I sprung out of bed and dashed to my closet. Clothes were flying everywhere as I searched for an outfit that would be easy to take off, seeing we were going swimming. Finally, I found something suitable; a pair of shorts and a light t-shirt.

Since it was around the afternoon, my mother was already at work. Afternoon was always busy times. The large, empty house creaked with each step I took towards the kitchen. Being alone left me to make my own breakfast, which I didn't have time for. I flung open the white cabinet and dug to the back looking for the poptarts. I pulled one out of the pack and shoved it in my mouth, closing the cabinet door and bolting into the garage.

My bike stood straight against the piles of boxes left in my garage. I got onto my bike and started my way to the quarry.

I REACHED THE QUARRY AFTER A WHILE and was last to turn up. Beverly had just arrived and was taking off her dress while the boys stood, unaware that we had arrived. Her long red hair was now cut to a nice short length. It suited her facial shape and she really pulled it off.

Beverly noticed that I had dropped my bike down and started to strip off my shirt and shorts as well. She held one finger to her lip and motioned to stay quite.

"Alright, who's first?" They were stood gazing over the large pool of water, all scared to be the first to dive in. "I'll go, sissys." The ginger girl jogged over to the cliff end and plunged into the water, erupting a splash.

"Second!" I called, running after her and cannonballing down and submerging under the water. "What the fuck!" Richie yelled when I dived in, "We just got stood up by a bunch of girls."

Swimming back to the top, I met Beverly wiping the water from her eyes. We looked to each other and just laughed at the boys' cowardness. "Come on!"

It didn't take long till all the boys were eventually in the water as well. Water flowed through my hair as I swam under, getting ready to jump on whoever's legs I was nearing.

I emerged from the blue pool and leaped on the nearest person to me, which happened to be Richie.
"Get off me," He struggled in my arms till I got off and splashed a large amount of water into his face.

Soon enough, everyone was splashing each other in a fight. Everyone was enjoying themselves, even Eddie. I didn't hear a word from him about how we might drown or anything. Laughter and playful bickering filled the air as we all had a good time.

Richie and Bill whispered suspiciously to each other before Richie made his way over to me. I swam backwards and splashed at him as I thought he was trying to do the same with me. "No, Y/n, wait stop," he said before going under the water. I felt arms wrap around my legs and hold onto my thighs. "Richie, what are you doing?" I laughed as I was lifted into the air onto of Richie's shoulders.

'Chicken fight!' was yelled as Bill scooped Beverly up onto his shoulders. The two boys trudged towards each other. Beverly squinted her eyes at me and smiled as we neared one another.

We started wrestling on the boys' backs, trying to shove the other off and win the game. "Fuck-" I yelped as I nearly fell back, but managed to regain my balance. "No!" Bev exclaimed as she saw that I didn't fall.

A few minutes were spent with us trying to push the other two. A large splash from Beverly into the water declared Richie and I the winners of the fight.

"Yes!" Richie was so thrilled we won. He boosted both his hands in the air, completely disregarding the fact I was on his shoulders, which caused me to fall back into the water.

I screamed as I was dunked into the water.
When I came back up, I shoved a wild wave into Richie's face. We went on like that splashing each other till Richie came over to me. He wrapped his arm around my shoulder, pulling me over to him and shooting the other arm up.
"We won! Suck on that losers," he cheered. His head turned into the crook of my neck and he whispered lowly into my ear.
"Sorry for dumping you into the water." A red haze tinted my cheeks and I could feel his warm breath on my neck before he turned back to everyone else.
