"You o-okay, Carli?" Bill's voice spoke up from behind me, "Just enjoying the water Billy." I told him, swimming closer to him.
"You sure?" He asked uncertain of my reply. "Yeah, just didn't want to be getting in the way." I told him sadly. The conf...

°Carlita's POV°
I was patiently staring at the boys, deciding on who would jump first, Richie suggested they play loogie, disgusting if you ask me, but they were very serious as they cleared their throats, gathering their spit, sometimes I forget that we aren't the same gender until, they actually do things only boys could come up with.
"Lay it out." Eddie dares the others.
Richie went first, looking very impressed with himself, as he chuckled, like he has already won this one.
Stanley went next, "Oh my god." Richie ended up having something to say as each of the boys went. Bill was next, "So easy."
"Poor tree."
Ben went after Bill, "So easy!" Leaving Eddie for last. "Oh my god, that was terrible. I win." Richie told his friends. "You won?" Eddie asks in disbelief.
"Yeah."
"Did you see my loogie?" Eddie asks pointing to where his landed. Richie pointed in the direction he spat in, "That went the farthest! It's by distance." He says. "Mass, it's always been mass." Eddie corrects him. "What is mass?" Richie asks, confused. "Who cares how far it goes. It matters how cool it looks, like it's green or it's white or juicy and fat." Eddie explains to Richie.
I had no strength to listen to them bickering any longer, I got undressed leaving me in my underwear, getting ready I made a run for it, pass the boys and jumped without a second thought, if I had to wait for them I would be waiting forever.
"What the fuck?" I heard Richie yell as I hit the water, as my body touched the water, I couldn't help but sigh in satisfaction, it felt like most of my worries just disappeared.
I was swimming enjoying the water, when another splash was heard not that far from me, only to see it was Beverly, I had nothing against her, but I knew she had her eyes on Bill, which made my jealousy kick in.
The boys still has made no effort to jump as they stared down at us.
"Come on!" Beverly yells.
The boys finally stopped being pansies, and join us in the water. As the others were playing chicken and splashing each other, I swam around enjoying the water, I've always loved the water, I've always felt like it's listening to my sorrows as I moved through it, if water was a person it would be my best friend.
"You o-okay, Carli?" Bill's voice spoke up from behind me, "Just enjoying the water Billy." I told him, swimming closer to him.
"You sure?" He asked uncertain of my reply. "Yeah, just didn't want to be getting in the way." I told him sadly. The confused look in his eyes had me a bit confuse. "What do you mean your in t-t-the way, how could you think that." Bill says, staring at me, my eyes stared at where Beverly was, hoping he would understand.
"What d-d-does Beverly have to do with it?" Bill asks, like he had no idea what I was trying to say to him.
"Bill, I know you like her, it's pretty obvious." I point out, remembering how he looked at her yesterday. Bill started laughing, I could only keep asking myself over and over, if I said something funny.
Bill moved closer to me placing his hands on my naked waist, as I felt tingles where his hands were placed.
"You, Carlita are t-the only one I could find myself staring at even at the most l-likely of times, it's you, not Beverly or any other girl, but you, you've been by my side forever, how could I not notice you, you've always made me feel less lonely, than I am, it's one of the million reasons I like you." Bill confesses, his wet hair sticking to his face, making him look even more attractive than ever.
"Are you saying that you like-like me?" I ask with a very cheekily smile on my face.
"I do, I'm totally crazy over you." Bill admits with a gentle smile across his handsome face, but Richie just had to ruin our moment, with his annoying voice.
"Ah, fuck! What was that?"
"Something just touched my foot, right here." Stanley says, pointing somewhere close to him. Bill and I joined them in the search for what was swimming with us in the water.
"That work?" Eddie asks.
"Where are we looking?" Ben asks also joining in on the search.
"Right here, right here!"
"It's a turtle!" Bill says, pointing were he saw it, as he came up from under the water, I couldn't help, but keep my eyes on the Denbrough boy, admiring him and his smile.
