"shut up okay, i meant to do that?" i roll my eyes with a small giggle. richie pushed me in the swing "yea we all mean to trip on air" he laughed. "thanks for understanding" i said.

he stopped pushing and sat on the swing next to me. "hey what ever happened to our friendship?" richie took a seat on the swing next to us. "well," i sat up "we just went our separate ways, you joined the football team and i just went on with my life" i shrug and look down watching my legs swing.

"oh, why didn't you talk to me though?" i glanced back up at him he was looking at me with full curiosity. "i just let you be richie" i nodded.

"you shouldn't have we could of been best friends...maybe even more" he wiggled his brows. "you're an ass tozier" i got up from the swing. i pulled his jacket down and waited for him to get off.

"i'll walk you home" he gave me a half smile. i smiled and nodded putting my hands in the pockets of his jacket.

"well thanks for walking me, guess you're not a full ass hole" i laughed walking up the stairs to my house. "told you i'm not" he winked.

"oh!" i slid down his jacket "here" i put it out to him. "i'll get it later baby, i'll see you." he began to walk off my driveway onto the side walk. i smiled to myself and put the jacket back on walking into my house.

i took my shoes off at the entrance, "mom! i'm home" i yelled through the house. "she isn't here dick head" my brothers voice came from the living room.

i peered my head around the corner and saw him on the couch flipping through channels. "where's dad?" i stepped in the living room further.

"sleeping" he put the controller down and watched the tv. "oh okay" i nodded and turned back around and made my way up the stairs.

i walked past my dads room, i walked in to find him asleep on his bed. i walked in and took his shoes off for him, i pulled the blanket up and turned his light off. i kissed his cheek and left the room making sure to close the door lightly.

i sighed and leaned my head against the door. my family was never like this we lived great actually. my mom and dad actually loved each other and my brother wasn't a huge ass hole. but since we moved here my mom has really changed. she's been out till really late and sometimes comes home drunk. i really wish she didn't but she does. my dad knows, but he chooses to act like he doesn't know. i feel bad for him because i know he really loves my mom but i really don't think she loves my dad.

if she does, she had one hell of way of showing it.

i really don't stress it anymore, i let my family be at this point. my brother can be the asshole he is, my dad can be as oblivious as he wants and my mom can be a whore. i still love them though.

"you don't get it beverly" i sigh and open my locker. "um what's there to get you went out with richie and you have his jacket on now" she scrunched her brows and pointed it out.

"friends" i poked her nose "only friends and plus don't act like you and bill been all on bad terms" i cross arms.

"what! what do you mean?" she laughed nervously. i hate her, i just act like i don't know anything. "nothing" i shrug. "speaking of diablo" richie came up with bill and eddie. "wow, you look fucking hot in my jacket" richie put his arm on beverly's shoulders, she pushed his arm off.

"it was the only warm thing i had at the moment" i shrug and close my locker. "yea yea, sure it was princess" i cringe at the name princess.

"eddie i heard about you winning first place in the science fair" i smile at the boy. He looks at me and nods proudly "yea, i know it's pretty cool" i laugh a bit and nod.

"that's my boy" richie pulled his arm around eddie shoulders and kissed the top of his head. "ew richie" eddie pushed himself off of him. "anyway we came over here to ask if you guys wanted to go to a party tomorrow?" bill said looking at me as if i was beverly's mother.

"i mean i don't have anything planned," i looked at beverly "you?"

she looked at me and shook her head looking back at bill "we will be there" she said. "cool" bill nodded and smiled at beverly.

"where something tight and short" richie winked at me. i flicked him off "eddie walk me?" i asked him. "sure" he left richies side and next to me.

"how dare you take eddie from me?" richie gasp. "oh eddies mine" i put my arm around his waist. "yea no. don't go there" richie rolled his eyes.

i squinted my eyes and turned around "i don't like when he acts like that" eddie said. "he's only joking" i let go of him and we started walking to class.

"yea, i know he is. i just don't like it, it bothers me a lot" he shrugs. "hey, you'll be okay eds he's just richie it's literally what he does" i raise my brows and smile. eddie laughs and we make it into my class.

"alright i'll see you later thanks for walking me to my far destination" i giggle a bit.

"i know i can't believe you made me walk around the corner gosh" he flipped his imaginary long hair and left with sass.

i rolled my eyes playfully and took my seat, again in the back of the class. "you don't get lonely back there?" my teacher asked.

"nope, i don't need friends they disappoint me" i drop my bag and lean back in my chair. my teacher laughed and went back to writing things down on his paper.
