Eddie POV

The next day was chaotic.

It was a Friday, so everyone was swarming the halls more than usual, wanting to get the day over with so they could go and hang out at the arcade with thier friends or have sleepovers or whatever.

As soon as my eyes caught the pair I sped walked towards them.

"Stan! Bill!"
"O-oh Eddie, Hey!" Bill stuttered.

"What's up?" Added Stan, as we begin to walk towards our next class.

"I was wondering if you guys are free after school?"

"S-sorry Eddie, Stan and I h-have p-p-plans together." It was obvious he was nervous to say this, as he was stuttering more than usual, also not keeping eye contact.

But I didn't really mind it that much quite honestly.

Soon after, another voice joined the conversation that wasn't Stan's. "S-spit it o-out, b-b-b-bill." Richie sneered.

This was strange to me, considering the events which took place the previous day.

I hesitantly looked at Richie as he made this comment, when I did, his snicker faded as he realized that I was indeed apart of this group.

"Go away, Richie." Stanley defended.

It didn't take long for Richie to walk away, crashing his shoulder with Bill's as he did so.

"He's such an asshole." Stan said, Bill nodding in reply.

"Actually.. uhm.." I started. "I mean.. something happened yesterday.."

"What? Really? What did he do to you!? I swear to god if h-"

"N-no! He uhm.. was actually kind of.. um.."

"Spill the beans, Eddie." Bill said egarly.

"..nice."

Both Stanley and Bill's eyes widened when I said this, making me somewhat regret my decision telling the two.

"WHAT? THEE RICHIE TRASHMOUTH TOIZER HAS FEELINGS? WOWIE, THE MORE YOU KNOW."

"STANLEY." I said sternly causing him to lower his voice.

"W-when did this h-happen? And how? And.. w-why??" Questioned Bill.

"Yesterday, after first period, he pulled me out of class, which is really unlike him. Might I add I caught him staring at me several times throughout the class?

Anyway, he told me to come with him, which of course I refused, but then was dragged out of the school only to meet Beverly and Mike there.

So I was like oh great. But then, to my surprise, he made an excuse to get me out from being beat up. So after that, he brings me to this quarry type thing, which by the way, the whole way there both of us didn't say anything.

So I just sit on the ground fiddling because none of us haven't said anything after the incident at the school. So the-"

I was cut off by the school bells ringing.

I should add the whole time I was telling the story, Bill and Stan would occasionally say the 'Uh huhs' and 'yeps.'

"I-I should probably start heading to c-class. Let's finish this conversation s-some other time, yeah?"

"Yeah, okay. See you guys later, bye."

"Bye." They say in unison.

Richie POV

I felt a bit bad to what I said to Bill, mocking him and whatnot.

Also the fact that Eddie was there made the whole thing worse, considering what happened yesterday at the quarry.

But I still needed to keep my reputation up, although I didn't necessarily agree to what I did and have done in the past. As soon as the last class of the day was over, I avoided Beverly and Mike to get out of whatever they would throw me in to do.

I went a different way than where I usually go to head home, I really didn't want to face them. Not today, and not really ever again.

I started to head up a different route than what I'm use to, and see Eddie on the other sidewalk across from me. Great. I didn't want to face him either.

I decided to run up ahead, eventually finding myself on my front porch opening the door to my house. No one was home, so I had the house to myself for tonight, knowing my parents wouldn't be back until tomorrow.

Getting drunk at bars or gambling or whatever they even did when they didn't return home for over 12 hours.

I was honestly just bored out of my mind so I decided to toast some bread because why the hell not?

I lay on the tabletop waiting unpaitenly for it to pop up out of the toaster, when the phone began to ring.

"Hello?"

"Hey, Richie. It's Mike, Where the hell are you? I thought we had plans at the barrens?"

"Oh, shit, sorry. I forgot." But I didn't forget. I just didn't want to be around them because I very well know they are a bad influence.

Ironic, right?

"Well, make sure you're there for next week's, Fuckface."

"You too, Dickwad."

I hung up, not much later my toast was done as I brought it up with me to my bedroom, plopping on the bed. After finishing, I lay down in my bed and later drift off to sleep, my mind only one one thing, and one thing only,

Eddie.

Hey guys. Sorry I feel like this is a filler chapter, also not to mention the shortness in it too, so I apologize. I promise you the next chapter will be SO much better. I'm actually legit excited to write it so I hope you will enjoy it. Also if you haven't noticed the pictures I use at the top are things that are taking place in the story so yeah. That's pretty much all I have to say at this point soo.
