A fresh start (Eddie x fem y/n reader)

Movie tonight?

Eddie blushes deeply, but doesn't break eye contact with you. "Just a little? Oh.. I think it's very cute."

After a while of standing together in the ladies bathroom, you guys eventually started talking about other things. Eddie was great at taking your mind off all the bad stuff you started thinking about, all the memories that were constantly on your mind, but for a brief moment they weren't, all thanks to Eddie. You also found out that you both had the same class after lunch, so you walked there together.

When you reached the classroom, Eddie stopped you as you were about to open the door. Holding you around your wrist, but not tightly, just had enough for making you stop. "Y/n, wait a second." He says quickly, and you turn around, looking up at the brown haired boy with the most beautiful eyes you'd ever seen. They were this deep dark shade of brown, but somehow they were light, they showed a light, comfort and love. You could see that those eyes didn't have anything bad behind them, somehow you could just tell.

"Yeah what's up Eddie?" You ask, quite curious of what Eddie wanted to say before entering the classroom. "Are you sure you're okay? I don't want you to be in class if you're not feeling well." He took a step closer to you, so you could smell the cologne he was wearing, and a hit of the cigarettes. It suited him, it really suited him. "Yes, I'm good Eds" You smile brightly at him, and he does the same back, it was definitely the nickname that did it.

"I actually wanted to ask you something. After you left we talked about something. We thought that maybe the whole group should go to the movies tonight? And then you can meet everyone as well! Even I haven't met everyone.. So pretty much me, Dustin, Lucas, Max maybe? Mike, and we will also invite Robin and Steve. They don't go he-"

"I think I've met them actually, if they work at the shop in town?" You smiled widely, not even trying to hide it. It was so nice that they all wanted you there, inviting you to be a little part of their big group. "Yeah, that's right. I haven't hung out a lot with Steve or Robin but.. I've heard they're nice." Eddie says, walking towards the classroom, not giving you time to answer about if you actually wanted to come or not. It was like he didn't really give you a choice, it was like he knew you were anxious about meeting new people, so he forced you into it instead.

You followed him into the almost empty classroom, the students were always very slow after lunch. Or.. so you've heard and experiences from your last school. So you sat down next to Eddie, putting your backpack on the ground against the wall behind you since you were sitting in the back. "Leaving me before I get to answer now?" You smirk and giggle a little bit, looking at Eddie. "But my answer is yes, I'm all in!"

Eddie smiles brightly at you "good, good", at the same time he opens up his textbook and notebook, really getting ready for class. "Are you actually going to take notes?" You asked him, not understanding because he didn't take notes in the last class. And he didn't seem like the type to actually take notes. "Of course not sweetheart. I just want the teacher to believe I actually do the work." He says, looking at you and smirking a little before he looked down at his notebook, starting to draw something to make the time go faster.

The class started and as the teacher spoke, you got inspired by the non-focused Eddie Munson sitting next to you. So you also started drawing in your book, you sucked, but, it was just for fun. As you were looking down at the book, thinking about what to draw next you started drumming with your pencil without realising. Also tapping with your foot to the rhythm, moving your head a little as well. You really zoned out, thinking and thinking. But you weren't thinking about anything bad, you really just a no fucking clue on what to draw.
