*Jay*

I move  here from New York. Derry is far from there I guess. I walk to school that morning. I see a group of kids who are  also very early as I am. A girl with short Orange hair and freckles, a kid with dark skin and muscles, a particularly.. big kid, a kid with his hair flipped to the side and  is a bit tall, a boy with a Kippah on his head, obviously Jewish, and a kid with short curly hair with a t-shirt an  has freckles he looks like trouble . And- whoa, the last kid is smaller, with perfect wavy brown hair, freckles and neat Smith clothes. He's the one who sorta sticks out. I wave "hi I'm Jay" I say. They introduce themselves, the girl is Beverly, the muscley one is Mike, the no  one is Ben, the Jewish one is Stanley, the one with the flipped hair is Bill who has a stutter, trouble kid is Richie, and little dude is Eddie. I smile when I see Eddie. The only girl is Bev who seems like she'd be feisty. Richie notices I'm looking at Eddie and  I notice the scars on his arms, I wonder Were  they came from. "Hey bud" Richie snaps. "Hmm?" I say confused. "What your back, stay in your lane, and most  importantly-" he moves me  to the side and whispers "stay away from Eddie" he says almost angrily. I nod. Eddie is kicking rocks around. There isn't a single chance I'm not going to become better friends with him.

We walk into class. I'm about to sit in the desk next to Eddie. Richie just moves  me over and sits there instead. I'm confused why he doesn't like me, I think he wants me away from Eddie, more than anything. Any time he tells a joke I try and  laugh but he just grunts and turns The other way. I'm confused but still. Eddie realizes I'm sad. He sat next to me at lunch. Richie is staring at me from across the table. There  isn't anything special about me. I'm wearing a white shirt with blue stripes and some light brown khakis, my hair is short and wavy, like Richies but bouncer. I look up and Richie just makes an angrier expression. "Hey at  you always like this or at  you just jealous because Houston  the center of attention?" I blurt  out. They all look at me. Stanley just keeps chewing he doesn't seem to care. "Yeah Richie, show some respect" says Eddie, "I mean what did he do?" He adds. Eddie's voice is soft, it flows. "I'm sorry" Richie says. Richie gets up. "I'm going to the library" he mumbles and slouches away. "Richie.." Eddie follows him out the door. "I watch as they leave and feel bad. "Sorry guys" I say as I look at everyone down the table.

"Nah Richie is protective over Eddie that's all, you look like his type after all." Ben says with his eyes glued to a book. "Your f-fine j-j-just d-don't let Richie g-get to you" says Bill. I smile and nod. "Thanks guys" I say. They all smile at me. I sit and sigh finishing lunch. I go to the bathroom, and wonder why Richie seems so tense. And why did Ben say I was Eddie's "type" I think to myself. Everything is confusing but whatever. I don't like guys, well I don't think I do.
