RICHIE X EDD...
"I can't help but love you, even though I try not to. I can't help but want you, I know that I'd die without you. I can't help but be wrong in the dark cause I'm overcome in this war of hearts. I can't help but want oceans to part cause I'm overcome in this war of hearts."

-FLASHBACK-
"Richie, get off me," Lizzy laughed loudly before pressing a small kiss to her boyfriend's cheek. "I'm serious, you came over to study, stop hugging me," she shoved him off of her and grabbed the math book that laid on her desk. Richie just laughed and sat on her bed. The two of them had been together for three months and everybody loved them as a couple. Nobody talked to Richie because they knew he was with Lizzy. And nobody talked to Lizzy because everybody knew she was with Richie. "I asked Peter and Eddie if they wanted to study with us and they said yes, so be nice. Please."
"Eddie's my best friend-"
"I'm talking about Peter," she cut him off. "He already hates you, so don't do anything to make him mad. Don't talk to Eddie that much either- you never do your work when you do. And remember what you promised me, you promised that you would hand in all of your assignments this year. Just keep that in mind before you blow off your work for Kaspbrak."
Richie barely gave her a nod. He already knew he was going to give his full attention to Eddie. They were best friends. That's what best friends do. As he sat up in her bed, the door to her room opened. Richie grinned widely once Eddie and Peter stepped in. "Hey, Eds," he said happily. He hopped out of his girlfriend's bed and darted towards his best friend. "Ready to study with the smartest kid in class?" Richie joked.
"Of course," Eddie smiled. "I'm so glad I get to study with Peter," he joined in on Richie's joke. Peter watched the two in disgust. His whole mood changed when he watched Eddie and Richie have a conversation.
"Ouch," Richie laughed.
"So, Eddie," Peter quickly jumped in, hoping he would change the subject. "Are you going to join the creative writing club with me and Bill? I really hope you do- it's going to be really fun. I'm actually getting really good at it. Maybe you could read some of my stuff later," he said smoothly. Peter scolded himself secretly. You could read some of my stuff later, what a loser, he thought. "Or maybe not," he awkwardly laughed.
"I don't know, Peter," Eddie sighed. "I don't want to be there just to listen to you and Bill talk. I would love to but I just wish I had somebody who would be there to talk to me, you know?"
