^next day^

i hate this, im so hung over and i have to go to school. my head hurts and i'm so sore, i don't even remember the events from last night.

i got off my bus and walked over to beverly and eddie. "woah what happened to you?" eddie asked looking up from his fruit bowl.

"thanks eddie" i roll my eyes and sit next to beverly. "my poor baby is hung over" she sighed and rubbed my back, i hummed a yea and leaned my head on her shoulder.

"pussy" i heard from behind me, we all turned and saw bill and stanley coming from upstairs. "shut it" i rolled my eyes as bill took a seat next to me. stanley sat on a step lower from us.

"i'm only joking" he flashed a smile towards me, i squinted my eyes and smiled sarcastically. "you love me" he kissed my hand. i pulled my hand away and looked at stanley.

he smiled and i smiled back "how are you feeling?" he asked me. "tired, dizzy , just horrible" i sighed, he cracked a small chuckle. "you still look pretty so" i could feel my cheeks heat up.

"hey," beverly slapped my knee "do you remember anything from last night?" i shook my head no.

"recap!" eddie clapped "you kissed stanley, he was all flustered, uh you did a drinking contest with me, i won of course, you almost got into a fight with greta making her leave oh and you made out with richie" he smiled.

"how did you remember all of that- WAIT WHAT?" i almost yelled. "what?" eddie asked.

"what was that last part?" i asked scrunching my brows a little. "you made out with richie...?" he asked. i turned my face straight and put my hands on my face.

"please tell me he's lying?" i said loud enough for beverly to hear. "i'm not sure" beverly pressed her lips into a straight line.

"you did i remember, and then you came out all awkward and kissed beverly for a dare" bill said. beverly and i both looked at each other "i kissed you" we said at the same time.

"yea it was kinda hot" bill laughed. "ew oh my god ew" i shook my head. "speaking of your kissy friend here he comes" i looked up and richie has sunglasses on and looked dead.

he walked up to us "hey" he sat in front of me facing straight with his legs apart. "hey...are you okay?" eddie asked him. he turned to us and took his glasses off to reveal a black eye.

"oh my gosh what happened?" i said and put my hand on his face running my thumb on his eyes lightly. i heard a chuckle from bill, i took my hands off his face quickly.

"i don't know" he shrugged "its all a blur, last thing i remember was leaving with someone" he said.

"i remember" i heard stanley say. we all looked at him "tell us!" eddie put his hands up. stanley seemed uncomfortable and sat up "you don't have to stan" i said softly and put my hand on his shoulder.

he looked at everyone and sighed "richie, you and i were leaving from beverly's house. while walking we left to the bathroom at the pharmacy when we came back two guys were on you," he looked at me "long story short richie got into it and punched one guy and ended up getting his ass whopped. they left and that's what happened" stanley pressed his lips into a straight line.

i looked at richie and he looked at me.

"okay now the hell is everyone just remembering this shit? i don't even know if i showered" beverly said. we all looked at her "ew what the fuck beverly" eddie scrunched his brows.

the bell rang for class, we all stood up. "richie!" the same blonde headed girl ran up to him. she smiled but frowned when she saw his face "my poor baby what happened?" he brought his face down and ran her finger on his eye.

he looked at me, "nothing" he looked back at the blonde headed girl. "let's get you some ice" she wrapped her arm around his arm. i turned around and walked with beverly and bill.

i was in the bathroom fixing my hair, i took it down and started to pull it back into a high pony. the bathroom stall opened and greta was there.

we both froze, she looked away and went to the sink a couple down from me. i grabbed my backpack and put it on my shoulder.

i took one more glance at her but then walked out. i had a free period and so did eddie, beverly and bill. so we all met on the football field.

i saw them on the bleachers, i walked up there "hello" eddie spoke in a horrible british accent. "yea.." i sat down in front of bill and beverly.

"richie is practicing" bill said, i turned to look at the football field. i saw him and sure enough he was practicing. he looked up at the bleachers and we made awkward eye connection. i looked away quickly and towards beverly.

"anyway...who has ms. taylor?" she pulled out a notebook from her black bag. "me. did you get her homework?" eddie asked.

i stoped listening to them and looked back down at the field. i can't even lie to myself he looks fucking hot playing football.

he took his helmet off and shook his curls walking to get some water. i licked my bottom lip and watched like a creep. "hey!" beverly slapped the back of my head.

i turned quickly "what?"

"stop drooling over richie i asked a question" she rolled her eyes. "i wasn't watching richie" i laughed nervously. "you're so bad at lying" bill shook his head.

"anyway.." beverly looked away from bill "are you going to home coming?"

holy shit i totally forgot about that, "i hope so, when do they start to sell tickets?" i asked.

"tomorrow till next week thursday, friday is the dance" eddie said. i nodded "i suppose you are going with bill, bev?" i raised a brow with a smirk.

"what? no ew" they both looked at each other. eddie and i both smirked at each other.

"yea okay" eddie and i spoke at the same time.
