Eddie liked Richie and Richie was a bad boy.

Eddie wrote in his diary every single day about Richie.

September 18th, 1985

Hey journal,

Today I got assigned a seat in 4th period next to Richie. I like him just an FYI but if he ever knew that he'd probably kick my ass. I'm pretty sure he likes Megan Johnson, I saw him talking to her in the hall the other day.
Maybe it's just a phase like mom said, she made me take a lot more pills when she found out I had a crush on Richie. I'm very confused because I saw Richie looking at me the other day and he smiled and waved. I'm so stupid he's probably not even gay. If he was that would be amazing because I wouldn't even care if I'd get 2x the amount of bully's picking on me.. I'd be dating Richie Tozier and that would be more important than any amount of scars on my skin in the world.

Gotta go, I just saw Henry bowers eying me.

Eddie stuffed his journal in his bag like he did everyday and rushed away from Henry Bowers, who probably didn't have good intentions.

The next day Eddie wrote again.

September 19th, 1985

Hey journal,

Today wasn't so good.

All day around the halls I heard rumors about Megan and Richie dating. I don't like Megan and I don't see what Richie thinks is so special about her. She just has regular flat brown hair always in a tight ponytail. She always wears really unnecessarily big earrings and tight t shirts no matter what weather. Not to mention...she's boy crazy! I heard she cheated on Alex Luby with Patrick Furnoh. Wow. Well I'll update you maybe tomorrow,

-Eddie

September 20th, 1985

Hey journal,

I'm almost crying right now.

Yesterday I came out to my good friend (or so I thought) and I told him I was gay. His name is Kellen. We talk a lot in 7th period and I borrow pencils from him. He asked me what girl I had a crush on and I told him I was gay. He didn't speak to me after that. Today in the hall Megan came up to me and told me really loudly to kill myself calling me a fag. I ran to the bathroom crying as I heard laughing in the background. I was dumb to think Richie would ever like me and that he'd be gay too. Why is everyone so mean?

-Eddie

September 21, 1985

Hey journal,

Today was a bit better.

Well, not the part where everyone was chanting 'fag' in the halls.

But Richie talked to me today, he talked to me about last nights football game at our school. I was so shocked he actually wanted to talk to me I was scared I'd have to use my inhaler. After the bell rang I saw Megan go up to Richie and they held hands in the hall. I don't know if it was my imagination but Richie looked uncomfortable. Megan looked at me and gave me a death glare. That made me shiver. I'll write later.
