"Oooh, okay, this is definitely the way!" Richie calls out.
"You literally said that twenty minutes ago." Stan groaned.
"Yeah, Richie, are you sure you know where you're going?" Beverly asks, panting softly.
The adventurous teenager thought that revisiting the old quarry would be an amazing idea, considering it was getting a bit warmer outside. The kind of warm that makes you realize that the leaves that have fallen on the ground are slowly dying, allowing new leaves to grow on the trees. The only problem is that they all, including Richie, have seemed to forgot where the quarry is.
"Dude!" Richie huffed. "It's a big ass hole with water in it-- how the hell do none of us remember where it is?"
The rest of the loser caught up with Richie, who had managed to rush ahead of them and deeper into the forest.
"You know, we could have just gone back to my house or something?" Ben says.
"Yeah, is that still an option?" Mike asks.
"Sounds like a p-p-p-plan." Bill added.
Richie groaned at the group's obvious reluctance to continue on. He knew he had to keep going because this could honestly be the last year they spend time together. They've already stopped hanging out as frequently due to them being Juniors this year, and they all -- except for Richie, really -- are really focusing the majority of their time on studying and all that junk. But, they all can't stand thinking about next year; all of the overwhelming, overbearing stress and anxiety, applying to different colleges and hoping for the best.
"Nonsense." When Richie broke out his god-awful cockney accent, the others knew they were in for it. The boy hopped up on a small tree stump and began his speech, as seriously as he could "I-- Richie Tozier -- will find that damn quarry, even if I have to travel the entire amazon; fight the most dangerous beasts-"
Eddie zoned out for a second for a few reasons. One) Richie's speech was not inspirational in the slightest. Two) He just couldn't help but stare up at Richie. He thought his stupid speech was kind of cute, in a way.
Wow, Eddie thought. I really let that guy French me last weened.
Eddie soon zoned back into reality and rolled his eyes. "Richie, we've been all over this place and yet, still no quarry." He pointed out. "Plus, letting you lead was clearly not the best idea, so maybe we should...let someone else try and find it."
Richie let out a rather, dramatic, gasp. He placed his hands over his heart and stepped off of the small tree stump he was standing on.
"Edward." He sighs, "I cannot believe you would replace me with some...knockoff navigator?" He leans all of his weight on to Eddie, amplifying the sense of humor that Eddie had always adored.
