"Well I'm Beverly Marsh" the girl said while smiling. "Oh look everybody, it's Molly Ringwald!" Richie said pointing at her while laughing. Her smile suddenly faded and she flipped him off. Everyone in the group started laughing. "Well I'm Mike." Said the black boy sitting next to Beverly while smiling at everyone. Everyone then turned to look at the boy sitting next to Mike. "Hi, I'm Ben" He said turning red and smiling.

After Ben introduced himself, it was Eddie's turn. Everyone then looked at him, awaiting for his introduction. He blushed, looked at me, and then looked back at everyone else. "I'm Eddie" He said smiling. After that, I looked at him and he looked back at me smiling. I smiled back. We both didn't notice but we were both starting to turn red. "Hey love birds" Beverly said laughing. I looked up, turning redder, as I looked at everyone in the group. "Oh we aren't dating" said Eddie, awkwardly. "Yeah. We are just friends." I said nodding. "Sureeee." Said Beverly and Mike. "I'm Richie by the way." I said laughing. "And I'm Bill" said the boy next to me. "You guys aren't dating..?" Ben asked eyeing me and Eddie. "Yeah. We aren't dating" I said with an awkward expression on my face. "I mean. Um. We aren't dating but.... um." Eddie said stuttering while turning red. "Gay?" Bill asked. "Yeah." Eddie said quietly, turning into a tomato.

Oh shoot! Now he knows! Great! Why did you tell everyone?! "What about you Richie?" Ben asked. "I'm Bi." He said putting his hand on his neck nervously. My eyes lit up and I turned towards him. He looked back at me and we both smiled while blushing. Aww he's so cute! I just want to hold him forever. He smiled more and then looked down at our hands. We slowly moved them closer to each other and held hands. We sat there until class ended.

We all then left after the bell rang. We got to know each other more and I think we are all friends now. I felt happy when I was holding Eddie's hand. I looked over at him and he was still red when I first grabbed his hand. He was smiling so much. He looked so cute. He finally noticed that I was looking at him and he smiled. He took out his school schedule. "What class do you have now Rich?" He said blushing when he said the sudden nickname he gave me. "Now I have Chemistry" I said smiling. He looked like he was going to cry. "What's wrong Eds?" I asked also blushing at the nickname I gave him. "We have Three classes together!" He yelled, quickly hugging me. "We do?!" I said smiling. He smiled more and nodded. We then just stood there. Smiling and looking into each other's eyes. "I totally forgot. We have lunch now. We have to go find Stanley. And possibly Ben, Beverly, Bill, and Mike" I said looking out to the crowd of kids waiting to get lunch.

I'm so happy! We have three classes together now! I almost started to cry because I'm so happy. It's just that I haven't been this happy in a long time. Ever since my dad left, my mom abused me. And is never home. And leaves me money under the front door mat every month. She always cussed at me and told me I was worthless and that I was a piece of shit and she wishes I were never born. Richie makes me happier then I ever have been. I hugged him, longer this time and he hugged back, a warm, bear hug. I started to cry. I haven't been loved in years. Now I know I found someone, and that someone is Richie Tozier.

Oh my. I haven't had this much of a meaningful hug in ages. My parents are abusing, alcoholics, and they are addicted to Cigarettes. They don't even care about me anymore. But Eddie makes me happy. I kept hugging him. I made sure I made no noise because I thought I heard crying, or quiet sobbing. I pull Eddie away and saw that he was the one who was crying. "Are you okay Eddie spaghetti? I asked him. Grabbing his hand to comfort him. He just looked at me and stopped crying. He wiped his tears away. "Don't call me that" he said while laughing a little. He put his free hand on the top of our hands. "Are you okay?" I said sitting him down. He just looked at me for a second until he quickly pressed our lips together. After he pulled back, he started to get emotional again. I looked around for a second and saw some people looking at us. I looked at Eddie again and this time I leaned in a kissed him. When we broke the kiss he actually started crying again. I hugged to comfort him. I then laid my head on his head and shut my eyes. We sat there for a few seconds until we got interrupted, by Stanley putting his hand on my shoulder.
