while riding at that speed, it was difficult keeping y/n's backpack on my shoulder. it was so small.

"hurry up eds!" i yelled while pedaling almost as fast as i could.

"i-i'm trying!" eddie said moving his legs faster.

i was ready. it had to be perfect... or she could say no...

"richie! we're almost there!"

"i know eds! i'm the one who dragged you here!" i huffed.

everything was planned out in my mind.

"do you have your money?!" eddie yelled.

"yes! i have my money!" i screamed.

it had to be perfect...

"we're here! let's go before she notices that we're gone!" eddie yelled as we slowed down.

"hurry," i said out of breath.

...so she would say yes.

eddie and i ran inside and speed walked to the decoration section.

i pulled my money out of my pocket and looked for some clothespins.

"shit, shit, shit, shit," i said looking for the clothespins.

"richie!"

eddie tossed me a box of clothes pins and pointed towards the aisle with decorations.

i jogged after him and looked for small, white, fairy lights... like the ones she had in her room.

as i got one of the last boxes, we went over to the cash register and payed.

after paying, we ran out of the store, and i stuffed the items inside the bike basket.

we pedaled to the park, and i took everything out of the basket, eddie started to ride back home.

"shit, SHIT! EDDIE! WAIT!" i yelled while realizing i forgot something.

eddie braked his bike and turned around.

"WHAT?!" he said throwing his arms in the air.

"I FORGOT THE STEREO!"

"are you fucking kidding me?!" eddie screamed while shaking his head.

"bring it with before you take her here please!" i yelled back.

"ugh!" he whined as he squirmed while getting back on his bike.

eddie started to pedal back home as i picked up the string lights and the clothespins out of the metal basket.

i walked over to a gazebo that they recently put at the end of the park and started hanging up the fairy lights.

after a few minutes, fairy lights went both directions across the gazebo, so i went back to my bike and picked up y/n's backpack.

i took out the pictures of us dancing at summer camp, us at the diner, at the thrift shop, in her room, and more.

i clipped them to the fairy lights with the clothespins and smiled to myself while looking at each one.

i ran inside frantically, going into bill's room, looking for the stereo, until y/n got up from her seat and caught up to me.

"eddie! where were you?! where's richie?!" she asked worried.

i started to panic and i didn't know what to do, so i took out my inhaler and went into bill's room and locked the door.

"e-eddie!" i heard bill yell.

the stereo wasn't there, so i looked to my side in y/n's room through the window and saw the stereo resting on her desk.

remembering i had to get the stereo, carry it past the two foot wide wood connecting their rooms, and ride back to the park, made my palms sweaty.

all this for an attempt for richie to get the girl he likes.

i opened the window and quickly, but somehow carefully, crawled inside and grabbed the stereo.

after, getting the stereo, i just decided to to go through y/n's front door, which makes it so much easier.

once i got outside, i put the stereo inside the metal basket, tilted, since it wouldn't fit in, but just as i was about to start pedaling, y/n came running outside.

"eddie! what the hell?!" she saud squinting her eyes.

i shook my head and started pedaling anyways, ignoring what she was saying.

"dude! stop!" she yelled as she rode behind me.

richie's gonna be so pissed...

i had just finished putting up the decorations, i took the cassettes out of y/n's backpack and held it tightly, sitting on the white railing of the gazebo, waiting for eddie.

-and i don't know if it was just me, but it looked amazing. so simple, but amazing.

after a few minutes of fiddling with my fingers, i heard some yelling from across the park.

"EDDIE, WHERE ARE YOU GOING?" that voice, it was her.

"y/n, go back home!" eddie said, panicking.

"is that... richie?" ben said.

shit, shit, shit, shit.

eddie arrived at the gazebo where i was, parked his bike, and carried the stereo towards me.

"eddie, what the hell!" i said quietly.

"she, she kept following me!"

"eddie!" i said through gritted teeth while taking the stereo from him.

i put it on the floor a few inches away from my feet as y/n parked her bike and started speed-walking towards the gazebo.

"richie, where were you-"

as she got closer, she looked up and finally got to see what i was setting up...
