First Eddie Munson Imagine!

p.s - Its not going to be added to the holiday masterlist because its not a story based around or on a holiday just a story posted on one.

Y/n honestly hated wearing the itchy Hawkins cheerleading uniform. But she enjoyed cheerleading but she mainly did it to hang out with her best friend Chrissy. The two had known eachother since they were in diapers.

But lately Y/n was getting fed up with how the other girls treated people worse and worse everyday. Not to mention the Jock's being assholes 100% of the time.

Y/n was staying later at the school finishing her homework, she didn't like bringing it home. Stressful school work shouldn't be brought home, home should be a peaceful safe haven from school hell. Very few people were left at the school, mainly a few club's. Once Y/n finished with her work she packed up and was ready to walk home.

Hellfire club had ended a few minutes ago and as Eddie watched as his club members left. But what really caught his interest was the cheerleading outfit that exited the school. He knew exactly who it was.

"Well, well, well do my eyes deceive me or is that Y/n Y/l/n." Eddie spoke walking over to the Y/h/c-ed girl.

"Hello Eddie. Did Hellfire just get out?" Y/n laughed, she always found Eddie's ways to be amusing.

"It did, but why are you here so late?" he answered but he was curious as to why she was still at school.

"Oh uh, homework. I don't like doing it at home." Y/n told him as she adjusted her bag on her shoulder.

"I get that. I mean I don't really do my homework but I get it." Eddie nodded along. Eddie justered to his van so they could sit down to talk.

"I wish I didn't do mine." Y/n let out an airy laugh.

"The great Y/n doesn't want to do her work? Why's that?" Eddie offered his arm. They walk to his car and he open's the back so they can sit.

"I hate it. Homework I think is stupid. If they can't teach it to us in school then we shouldn't have to bring it home." She tells him honestly, sitting down next to him.

"Then why do you do it?" He asked curious if she hated it so much why continue to do it.

Y/n shrugg's. "Have to. If I want to stay on the cheerleading squad."

"Is cheerleading really worth it?" Eddie knew what he said could be a sensitive subject but he had a point.

"You mean is being popular really worth it?" Y/n laughed at him with raised brows and a hint of teasing in her eye's. But she also wanted to give him a serious answer so she shook her head as she answered. "I don't do it for the popularity." Y/n has never cared about being popular. She actually really hates it and hate's how the popular kid's treat everyone.

"Then why?" Now he was intrigued even more.

"For Chrissy. We've been best friends forever so when she wanted to join I encouraged her. Then she wanted me to do it with her, so I did." Y/n sighed explaining it to him.

"But?..." Eddie could sense there was more, something she was leaving out.

"I hate, absolutely hate how the other cheerleaders treat people, how those stupid jock's treat people! Not to mention the outfit is stupid and fucking itchy!" Y/n exclaimed raising her voice and waving her hands around for enphise.

"There she is! There's the girl I remember!" Eddie jumped up clapping his hands with a huge smile on his face. He points at her. "I've missed her."

"Me too." Y/n gave him a smile, the two had been fairly close till high school.

"I get your her best friend and she's yours but if you're this miserable then maybe you should quit. If Chrissy's truly your best friend she'll understand and not treat you any differently." Eddie tries to give her advice.

"You're right." Y/n nodded to his words, it is true what he's saying and she's thought of it before.

"Hey umm, do you want a ride?" Eddie offered, he doesn't want their talk to end. It's the first time they've talked in years. He didn't want it to end yet.

"I'd love that." Y/n smiled at him accepting his offer.

"Hey Eddie? Would you wanna hang out this weekend?" Y/n asked as the two moved around the van and got in the front seats. She was nervous he'd say no but she hoped he didn't. Y/n had missed him. Sure there was an age difference between them but not enough to bother the other and were in the same grade now due to Eddie being held back.

"Uh, y-yeah. I-I'd love to." Eddie was shocked but extremely happy that she wanted to spend more time together.

The two talked on the way to Y/n's house, catching up and just enjoying the other's company.

"Great. See you tomorrow Eddie." Y/n said as they pulled up to her house and she got out.

"See you tomorrow Y/n." Eddie smiled, waving at her as she shut the passenger's side door.

Once Y/n was in her house Eddie let out an anxious breath that he didn't realize he was holding. "Holy fucking shit." He might have just got his best friend and crush back. What a night.
