Eddie POV

"Eddie-bear! Time for school!"

I woke to the call of my mother from the kitchen, realizing I slept through my alarm, considering she rarely ever woke me up in the morning.

I rummage through my closet and quickly put on a pair of pants and a yellow polo shirt, buckling up my phannypack to my waist.

I jog down the stairs towards the kitchen to grab an apple, then make my way outside over to my bike. My bike ride to school overall was quite peaceful, the sun was peaking up behind the trees, causing a pink and orange glow to radiate off of it.

I soon make it towards the bike rack and lock my bike in place, then made my way to my first class which was history.

Richie was sitting at his usual spot as a give him a quick glance before I walked over to my spot, pulling out my binder and pencils. I sat at the back of the class, so I got to admire Richie from behind.

He was wearing a blue button down with a floral design covering it, paired with some jeans too. Hold up, what did I just say??

I'm crazy to think I actually like Richie! Jeez, I need to get together.

I tried my absolute hardest to pay attention in class, but just couldn't manage. I snapped out of my long trail of thoughts as the bell rang indicating second period.

I shoved my things in my bag and headed out the door to next class. I haven't actually been to second block for awhile due to skipping with Richie, which I'm glad to not be doing today, so I can get caught up.

Time laspe~lunch

I make my way towards my usual table, consisting of the iconic pair, Stanley and Bill. Who to my surprise bombarded me with questions after I made my way towards them.

"Eddie! Where were you yesterday??" They said in unison.

"I.. uhm.." I started but looked away to avoid any eye contact, but instead looked at Richie on accident which caused me to blush and look down at my food.

"...I don't know.."

"you don't know?" Stanley said in disbelief.

"We're your friends, you can tell us." 

"Y-yeah, you can t-tell us anything." Added Bill.

"Well.. you see uh.." I was cut off by Richie approaching our table, which resulted in my face turning a crimson shade still looking down at my food, trying to cover it, as well as gaining a few looks from both Stan and Bill.

"Hey uhm.." Richie started, Stan and Bill directed their attention to him.

"L-leave us alone." Bill said a bit annoyed, not letting Richie finish what he was going to say.

"Do you mind if I steal Eddie for a minute?" I cocked my head up to meet his eyes as he said this.

"Yes, we do mind." Stanley replied.

"Can he speak for himself, please??" Richie said, averting his eyes to mine.

"Uhm, I'll be just a minute guys.." I say as I get up from my spot, awkwardly going with Richie noticing Bill and Stan whispering to each other. I couldn't make out what they were saying, I didn't think it was very important anyways.

Richie POV

I never thought of myself as the confronting type, but I really felt the need to talk about Eddie as to what happened yesterday. And hell if I know Eddie will come to me, so I had to be the one to do so. I led him to the bathroom, in which thankfully no one was in, so we could talk privately without being heard.
