Eddie

I turned around quickly at the familiar voice. The boy with messy black hair and a dark blue collared shirt with short sleeves, looked down at me with a slight frown

Richie: What are you doing here

Eddie: Oh... your m-mom—

He put a hand up and cut me off

Richie: so let me get this straight. You stalked me through my window, followed me to my job at the cafe, and now your showing up at my house?

He smirked down at me and I blushed softly.

Eddie: Your mom invited me to dinner. And let's talk about the cafe shall we? Why did you write cu—

Maggie: there you are Richie!

Maggie came back down the stairs and stood between us

Maggie: Eddie, this is my son Richie

I held out my hand and he looked down at it

Eddie: Nice to meet you...

He shook it dully and looked at his mom

Richie: why exactly is the neighbor boy here?

Maggie: He helped me move in boxes so I invited him to dinner. Don't be rude Richie, show him to the table!

Richie rolled his eyes and began walking as I followed behind. We sat down at a three seated table where Maggie was at the long end and me and Richie were right across from each other.

She served us our plates of something that looked like a casserole.

Maggie: So Eddie, what's it like here in Derry?

Eddie: Oh, well it's a small town and there's not much to do. But there's a quarry at the far end of town and the Main Street is nice

Maggie: What about school?

Eddie: It starts up again in a few weeks. For me, school is okay. I'm the soccer teams captain so I get around well—

Richie: Your the soccer team captain? But your so little!

I blushed and giggled at the boys cute smile as he called me little

Eddie: Yeah... but I can handle myself

He leaned back in his chair and looked at me with a grin. I felt his boot tap against my Vans and he brushed it off as an accident when I looked at him. But then it continued, and his foot wrapped underneath mine

Is he trying to play footsies with me?!?

He smirked at me as I blushed and tried to stay focused on what Maggie was saying

Maggie: —How does that sound Eddie?

Eddie: Oh! Uh... great. That would be cool

I totally blanked out on what she said but she smiled so I'm guessing it was good

Maggie: I'll have Richie ready by tomorrow then!

Richies foot tensed and his smile flattened

Richie: Wait what?

Maggie: Eddies going to show you around town tomorrow! Isn't that fun?

He moved his feet and sat up in his seat
