Gay

Richies POV:
I ran. I don't know where I was going but I ran. I was crying. I cant believe I did that. My closest friend just called me a fag in front of everyone and I didn't even say anything. I hate myself. I hate Bill. I hate Stanley. I hate Mike. I have Ben. I hate Bev. And I hate Eddie!! I hate them all!

Eddies POV:
When I got home I ran into my room. My face was burning up still from Richie kissing me. I fucked up I know I did. I called him a fag in front of everyone. But I'm not gay! Is it gay that I liked the kiss though? Like if Richie was a girl I'd date him! Is that gay? I don't think so! I mean I just..I..I..fuck. I like Richie Toizer. I like him and I just called him a fag in front of everyone and he probably hates me for it. Fucking Christ.
The next day
Richies POV:
I have to go to school today but I really really don't want to. Everyone knows I'm a fag. I'll get beat by Henry the second he sees me and my own friends won't even wanna talk to me. After getting ready I walked downstairs but before I left my mom stopped me.

Richie's mom: "Richie I need to talk to you"

Richie: "yeah?"

Richies mom: "well some people told me they saw you kissing a boy then he rejected you."

Richie: "I..uh"

Richie's mom: "look hun if you like boys that's fine I'll accept you no matter what. Okay?"

My mom hugged me and I hugged her back

Richies mom: "I love you hun"

Richie: "Love you too mom."

I walked out the door and immediately saw stuff written on the house.

GET OUT OF OUR TOWN YOU FAG
Richie really thought that he would love him?
Faggot!
Gay ass fairy!

There were tons of messages. I didn't even feel like dealing with it so I just walked to school.

Eddie's POV:
I heard someone knocking on my door as I was getting ready for school. I went downstairs and opened the door to see...everyone?

Eddie: "What the fuck is going on?"

Bev: "Richie's the only gay freak in town? Really?"

Eddie: "oh uh..you heard about that"

Billy: "W-w-we saw I-I-it"

Eddie: "fucking Christ..okay guys I didn't mean it I was just scared"

Mike: "yeah and now everyone is writing stuff on Richies house. Have you seen it?"

Eddie: "well he kissed me!"

Bev: "So you outed him in front everyone?!"

Stanley: "yeah not cool"

Eddie: "I didn't want people thinking I was gay!"

All of them: "you're not?"

Eddie: "No?! You guys thought I was?!"

Bev: "well not really but we don't really see you getting with a girl and when we saw that Richie kissed you we thought that since you didn't pull back you liked him as well"

Eddie: "Well when he kissed me I felt all weird..I kinda liked it"

Bev: "sounds gay to me"

Thinking about it Im pretty sure I had feelings for Richie. I didn't wanna believe it but every time I see him I can't help but stare and it's because I love looking at him. He's probably pissed at me right now though. I have to tell him I'm sorry. I fucked up. I walked past all of the other losers

Bev: "Where ya going?!"

Eddie: "I'm gonna find Richie and hope he doesn't completely hate me!"

I ran to school because he was obviously there I mean I was supposed to be there either way. I entered the halls and tried looking for him then I thought he was probably in the bathroom. I went in there to see henry beating his ass

Henry: "Look. It's your boyfriend. He came to save your gay ass"

Richie: "He's not my boyfriend you asshole-"

Henry punched him in the face. I just stood there and let it happen. If I said anything he would come after me. But honestly I probably deserve it after what I did to Richie

Eddie: "H-hey Henry! Back off!"
