EDDIE'S POV

I hadn't realized until I tripped on my own feet that I'd been staring at the boy for just a little too long than I probably should have.

But I couldn't help it. He's gorgeous.

Long curly hair as dark as the night sky, eyes as brown and deep as chocolate, skin like cream, black skinny jeans complementing his handsome body perfectly, and lips like strawberries with a cigarette settled inbetween them.

He was struggling with lighting it when he glanced at me.

"Hey, a little help?" he called.

I nodded timidly and walked over to him.

"Sure. What do you need?" I questioned.

"Light my cigarette?" he requested.

"Sure" I smiled, and pulled a lighter from my backpack.

He leaned forward toward my hand and I clicked the lighter, watching as the fire lit the cigarette between his teeth.

"Thanks" he mumbled, and took a puff.

I watched as the smoke bellowed out of his mouth like a chimney. Then he glanced at me and winked.

"Ever try one?" he queried, offering one.

"Uh, n-no, no thank you" I declined politely.

He smirked.

"Good. Nasty habit, anyway. I'm Richie, by the way. Richie Tozier"

He held out his hand and I took it, smiling like an idiot.

"Eddie"

"Well, Eds, do you believe in fate?"

"Hardly" I answered.

He scoffed smiling.

"Well then, how about you and I go on an adventure?" he offered, and when he held his hand out to me and I trailed my eyes from his open hand to his enticing eyes, I couldn't refuse.

Two months later

I packed my bag with a few things and covertly made my way to the door. But no matter how quiet I am, my mom always manage to hear me.

"Eddie-Bear!" she called.

I rolled my eyes and reluctantly shuffled to the living room.

"Yeah, Mom?" I asked politely.

"Where are you off to?" she queried.

"Just with some friends to study" I lied, but she bought it.

"Okay" she nodded. "Just be back by eight tonight, okay?"
