gay camp 🍁 It/ST

- 12 -

June 4th, 10:30 p.m.

Richie was heading towards Beverly's cabin. He heard loud music coming from inside the walls. He hesitantly knocked on the wooden door. Max opened the door, "Oh hey Richie! We were just dancing and shit. Wanna come in?" Richie nodded, "uh sure." He walked in and saw El was out of breath from dancing and Beverly was sat miserably on her bed, headphones in.

Richie stood in front of her, getting her attention. She took her headphones out and Richie asked, "Can I talk to you?"

Beverly nodded, getting up from the corner of her bed. Richie opened the door back open, holding the door open for Bev. The two girls behind them started teasing them, but Beverly went "We're at fucking gay camp." And slammed the door.

"Where do you wanna talk?"

"The quarry."

The two teens took the short walk to the quarry, sitting on the edge. Once they got settled Beverly asked, "What's wrong? I've never really seen you nervous or quiet. And why'd you come to me? Why-"

"I think I'm bi."

Beverly looked a little taken back, "I-wow. I mean, so am I, but Trashmouth?"

Richie scoffed, "Yeah, I know right."

"Taking up your stereotype of being a 'player' I see. Anyways, do you like anyone?" Bev questioned.

"Maybe. And before you say anything, I'm not telling you."

"It's Eddie."

"Pft what!? No! Are you kidding me?"

"Dude..."

"Whatever. I just need advice..."

"Just...slowly flirt with them. Drop hints. Make it seem like you're just being a good friend, but slowly get more flirtier."

"How? I've never actually flirted with someone I like."

Beverly put her arm around Richie, "Just casually start doing this, and just get more touchy, and honestly I do t really know. I have the biggest crush on a girl right now, and its kinda different flirting with her."

Bev still had her arm around Richie, not noticing. Neither of them liked each other like that, so they didn't really care. They heard beaches being stepped on, and turned around. Eddie was standing right there, looking heartbroken.

"I-um-yeah" Eddie stuttered out. He quickly turned around, speed-walking to his cabins. Bev and Richie glances at each other, "Go."

Richie got up, trying not to fall off the cliff. He chased after Eddie.

All this drama was going on between 'couples' but she had no one... So, she just sat there.

When Richie caught up to Eddie, he was already on his bed, taking his inhaler.

"Hey, you okay? What's wrong?"

Eddie shook his head, "I just wanted you two to be alone... I didn't want to interrupt anything."

"Oh..." Richie leaned in really close, Eddie could feel Richie's breath against his cheek, "You sure?" Richie smirked.

"I-uhm-yeah" Eddie said, rolling over and facing the wall. Richie's smirked slowly fell. He was hoping that maybe Eddie would flirt back.
