"Well then darling.. looks like we're in the same class." Eddie says with a bright smile, and you look down, trying your best to hide that little smile that's forming on your face.
———
This boy. You could already feel it, he would be the death of you. After what you'd heard of him, you really did want to ignore him and find someone else to hang out with. But he was intriguing, kind, and of course hot as hell.
"Are you alright there sweetheart? Come on, let's head to class. It's not like you know the way, so it's for the best that I just show you." Eddie says as he grabs your backpack off your shoulder and throws it over his own. Oh. He's a gentleman?.. He starts walking towards the school and you follow him, being slightly behind him because you were quite short, and the docMartens were quite new, so they still hurt like a bitch.
He turns around, tilting his head as he's watching you, he smiles brightly and giggles a bit at your quite obvious painful walk. "Do I need to carry you as well now? Needy are we?" He just laughs and continues to walk. Thank god he turned around so he didn't manage to see the redness forming on your face. The thing was, you blushed very easy. You could blush by pretty much everything. If the teacher gave you a compliment. Red. If someone looked you up and down. Red. If you tripped over something. Red. If you listened to a hot song. Red. If you imagined something. Red. If you had a sexual dream about someone you just met and didn't know at all, but they were hot as hell so you couldn't help it. Oh.. Red.
You followed Eddie into school and you walked into a classroom together, the room starting to fill up with students. All the eyes were on you and Eddie, of course they were. It was quite obvious that Eddie was carrying your backpack, and you just looked like a dog following him around all confused. "The freaks got a girl" Someone whispered next to you, obviously not for you to hear. "It's probably just another one night stand, look at her clothes, he won't get any girl and you know it." You look at them and raise your eyebrows, making them quickly look away and down at their desks. As you looked back at Eddie, he was sat down in the back, placing your backpack on the chair next to his. You let out a small sigh, pretty much to warm up for the class, you really didn't know if you wanted to sit next to him, but you did anyway.
You sat down and placed a book on the table, a pencil and a notebook, all set for class. This class was going to last forever, not because you were sitting next to drug dealer Eddie 'the freak' Munson. Because this was the only class before lunch, meaning you had to sit there for a while. Trying to focus on the actual class, not the metal head sitting next to you.
As the class begun, you tried to always look at the teacher standing in front of you. He was explaining everything you had to do this year, all the assignments, all the hard work and much more. The worst part? He was so old and used ages to speak, making you let out a pretty obvious yawn. Luckily you were quick to hide it behind your hand and looking down.
In your sideview you could see that Eddie turned his chair more towards you, his body facing you but he was still looking forward. You didn't think too much about it, but you started resting your head in your hands, trying to cover up your side profile. You absolutely hated your side profile, and in some weird way you tried to hide it from Eddie. Why? You didn't really know.
You looked over at him. Speaking of side profiles, fuck. He looked great though. The way some of his bangs were stuck to his forehead, pulling the hair behind his ears on one side so it didn't fall in the way as he looked down, writing some notes. His tongue stuck out a bit, laying on his upper lip, he was definitely very focused, or pretending to be. You were mesmerised by him, taking in every angle of him, every little detail.And he definitely noticed this, slowly looking over to you and tilting his head a little to the side. "See something you like?" He giggles and blushes a little, he was turning quite red. "Well.. maybe. But you're blushing quite intensely there sir." You joke at him and gently punch him on the shoulder.
"Hey you two! Don't make me split you guys up!" The teacher says and we both look down, laughing to ourselves and deeply blushing. "We must stay focused.." You whispered to him and he didn't really respond, but you could hear him laughing, he started to fiddle with his rings, making you look over at his hands.
You shook your head out of your thoughts, Jesus Christ, stay focused. Why were you acting like this? You never used to be like that, eye fucking people you just met. But after all, why not give this Eddie guy a chance. Not judge him by the dealing part.
But that's what you did last time too.. you gave the guy a chance and he fucked you over. He ruined so many things in your life and didn't show love for you or anyone around him, only himself and his drugs. Hopefully this Eddie guy wouldn't be like him.
—Time skip to lunch—
As the bell rang you got up and grabbed everything, wanting to leave as quickly as you possibly could. You wanted to get to the canteen, sit down alone at a table and listen to some good music on your Walkman. Again.. you wanted to be alone for a little bit. And eating in front of other people always made you anxious.
As soon as you got up you heard Eddie talking behind you, hearing his voice come closer and closer when you walked towards the canteen. "Hey hey hey. Wanna sit with me at the hellfire table?" He ran in front of you and stopped you, looking down at you with those beautiful brown eyes, he was quite stern in his look. "Oh sorry, I think I'm gonna sit by myself today. Maybe some other day?" You say quickly before you take your headphones on and walk past him, blasting music into your ears.
When you finally found a table all alone, you could see the hellfire table in the distance, and you couldn't help yourself but to stare at the dark haired man talking to his friends, including Dustin who you met yesterday. You look down and take a bite out of your sandwich, and when you look back up you can everyone's eyes staring at something.. or someone. You quickly look over, seeing Eddie getting up on his table, making you almost throw your headphones off just to catch what he's saying.
You couldn't really catch everything.. but some of it you heard. "— band, or science or paaarties, or a GAME where you toss BALLS into laundry baskets!" He shouts out, looking directly at the basketball teams table, and you could see that Jason got up and walked towards him. You also heard shouting from other students, calling him a freak and loser. "You want something freak?" Jason said to him, and your eyes flew back at the metal head. He brought his hands up to his head, making devil horns and sticking his tongue out.
It make you giggle, and you definitely felt some butterflies in your stomach. And that wasn't it.. right after Jason had sat back down, Eddie looked straight at you and smiled brightly, winking at you before he walked back on the table, sitting down eventually after screaming some more. The fucking butterflies, you felt them all over you.
You blushed intensely again, especially since some people noticed the wink and were staring at you. Quickly you took your headphones back on, but you didn't press play on the music. You were ready to hear if he started speaking again. And you were not lying to yourself.. you definitely wanted him to come over, asking you to sit down at their table. And this time.. you wouldn't say no.
