richie's pov
after i got there we started doing activites to get to know the class better. we all sat in a circle and told some things about ourselves. as everyone started talking my eyes wondered over to him. eddie. he was biting on his nails nervously, looking down at his lap. it was his turn to go.
"hi um, my name is eddie kasprack, and i um like to..um."
"do you like to play any sports eddie?" i heard mrs spencer add.
"um not really, mommy says dirt has a lot of germs and grass is bad for my allergies," he replied
everyone in the class began to laugh when he said that except mrs spencer who was trying get everyone to stop. his expression grew sad and he looked down at his lap. i had to help him.
"i don't like sports either they make me sweaty," i stated.
everyone in the class stopped their laughter and looked at me. i looked at eddie, seeing his head raise up and his eyes meet mine. i smiled back at him assuringly.
"thank you," he mouthed to me.
"no problem," i replied.
eddie's pov
shortly after it was time for lunch. i grabbed my lunchbox and headed outside with the rest of the class. everyone had seemed to have made friends so i just sat alone on the bench. i opened my lunchbox revealing an apple and a ham sandwich. i pulled out my hand sanitizer but it was quickly snatched by another hand.
"hey give it back!"
"why do you have hand sanitizor, your such a nerd," a taller boy snapped back.
"please just give it back to me," i replied shakily.
"what are you gonna do about it, cry to your mommy," he replied.
i was on the verge of tears until i saw another tall figure in front of me.
"hey! why do you leave him alone big bird," richie said angrily.
"why don't you make me frog face," the boy replied steeping towards richie.
"hey boys, break it up, connor go sit back down please," mrs spencer said
after she walked away i let out a breathe and looked over to richie who was now eating my sandwich.
"oh did you want this," he stated
"no im ok," i replied.
he continued to eat my sandwich until getting up and grabbing my hand.
"cmon eds lets go play."
i was cautious at first but i didn't have enough time to think because richie was already dragging me over there. we both ran to the playground, going down the slides and swinging on the swings, laughing our hearts out.
maybe school wasn't gonna be so bad afterall .
