"richie.." i opened his door, he was reading a comic book on his bed.

he looked up from his book "yea?"

i didn't just want to tell him that i was scared. not because i got scared from the crazy lighting outside or anything. "watcha reading?" i leaned against the door way.

"a comic..wanna join?" i mean i don't like comics but why not.

i crawled onto the other side of his bed. "he's about to admit his love to the girl" he looked at his book in such a kid way.

i giggled and rested my head on my hand.

"i can't just not think about you," oh gosh he's going to read out loud "you're like my addiction stacy, you're brown hair that blows in the wind while fighting the monster or your eyes when they twinkle when you look at me. i can't help it i'm in love with you. i wish i could tell you another way but this is how i must" he stopped and turned the page.

"you're gorgeous, amazing, sexy and so much more. please don't turn your back on me like you did to him. i'm so much better than him give me, me your best friend, a chance."

i watched him read every word, how he read them smoothly almost like he was preparing him self for this moment.

he looked really good right now, maybe a little too good. his curls were really defined and his lips look extra plumbed. "hey!" he clapped his hands in front of my face.

"i'll give you a chance" i said. holy fuck i said that out loud.

"what?" he asked with a small smile.

"nothing! nothing at all, i should be getting to bed now" i turned my self off his bed and swung my legs over. i felt his hand on his forearm, "but i'm not done" i turned to see him frowning.

"it's getting late richie, maybe tomorrow morning" i shrug.

i started to walk to the door before i was smacked with a pillow. "what the hell richie?" i picked up the white pillow and turned around.

"my hand slipped?" he pursed his lips. i smirked and threw the pillow at him. "oops? my hand slipped" i shrug. "yea i bet it did" he picked up the pillow and threw it at me.

before i knew it we were at war with the pillows. i had him pinned to the bed "any last words tozier?" i held the pillow up before him.

"maybe, not sure. give me time to think about it" he made his thinking face.

i sat back and waiting for him to 'think'. "oh wait i got it" i got back in position. "but i need to whisper it to you" he pulled me down. a little too close, his lips only inches from me.

"what is it?" i raised my brow.

"i...i like you" he mumbled. i rolled my eyes "really tozier?" i hate how he jokes like that. i raised the pillow and smack him in the face. he laughs and swats away the pillow fluff.

"i win bitch!" i was a really competitive person. i always had to win even if it was a damn pillow fight. "this time you did" he picked me up and sat me down next to him.

"and every other time we randomly have a pillow fight" i giggle a bit and shrug. "lay with me" i scrunched my brows looking at the boy.

"what?" he groans and rolls his eyes. "i didn't ask you a math problem" he laid down on his back and patted next to him. "lay with me" i couldn't help but give a small smile.

"why?" he laughed and shrugged "because it's fun having you around" i roll my eyes. "scoot over" i crawled over next to him.

"so about what happened at the bus" i looked up at him. "oh my lord"

"you guys fell asleep together!" beverly almost yelled. i covered her mouth and shushed her "yea. but don't think sexual" i squint my eyes at her.

she nodded and took my hand off her mouth. "are you guys a thing?"

i sighed and sat straight looking at him and tori "no, no we aren't" i'm guessing she saw him as well. "he's an asshole though" she punched my arm.

"yea, yea i know that" i nodded in agreement.

"hey look! stanley is back!" she pointed to the curly headed boy who was walking with bill. a smile grew on my lips and i got up from the stone steps.

"stanley!" i yelled, he looked over. i walked over, well more like ran, over to him and hugged him tightly. "aw cuties!" bill whined. i rolled my eyes and let go of him "where have you been!" i smacked his chest lightly.

"family things" he shrugged but then smiled. "i did miss you" he smiled "i missed you as well."

"just make babies all ready" beverly came behind us. i turned to her "shut up" i mumble under my breathe. "miss marsh" stanley said. "uris" she giggled.

she always seemed happier with stanley. she literally almost jumped off the steps to hug the kid.

"look at me" tori almost smacked my face down to her. "what?" i was already getting annoyed by her she doesn't know when to quit.

"home coming is in two days babe, did you get the blue tie?" oh i forgot about the dance.

"uh yea, yea i did" she wanted me to wear a blue tie because her dress was blue. "good okay well i have to go meet up with greta bye" she kissed me and went off.

i sighed but walked up to the losers. "richie tozier is that you?" bill crossed his arms. "yea it is don't cream your pants" i walked up behind hayley and put my head on hers.

"richie" she laughed and moved out the way. i shrug with a small smile. "are you going to the dance?" beverly asked the group.

"yea" stanley said. "i'm going with tori" i spoke up.

"i'm going with eddie" beverly high fived eddie. "well i'm going alone" hayley shrugged. "actually we all know you are going with stan" hayley and stanley both looked at each other.

"yea yea you're right" stanley crossed his arms.

"but i'll snatch her later on" bill smirked at hayley.

"not me, but beverly most likely" she winked. "i'm leaving" was what he heard from beverly before she left. "well i should leave too see you around stanley" hayley smiled at him and jogged towards beverly.
