"how'd it go?" eddie asked as bill and richie arrived at school.

"what, the date?" richie lifted a brow.

"no, your math test. of course the date" stan scrunched his nose.

"fucking nailed it" richie smiled.

"in a gross way or that it went well?" eddie questioned.

"i'll let you be the judge of that" richie winked. "she liked the clothes I was wearing. thanks to you, eds"

eddie gave richie a humble look. "it's what I do"

"h-hey you g-guys wuh-wanna come and suh-celebrate juh-georgie's buh-birthday today" bill asked.

"oh it's his birthday? yeah, sure i'll come" stan smiled. "how much is he turning?"

"suh-six"

"just tell me the time and i'll be there" richie grinned.

"ih-i was thinking at fuh-five thirty"

eddie nodded. "I can come too. is any of georgie's friends coming?"

"he duh-doesn't ruh-really have any. buh-but he likes you g-guys" bill smiled.

"who wouldn't?"

"i can think of plenty people who doesn't like us, rich" eddie glared at the taller boy, who chuckled. "if you mean henry, he doesn't like anyone"

"no, i mean everyone in this school. everyone hates us" eddie replied. "not just henry"

"eddie is right" stan said and looked on his side to the smaller one who looked away a small blush on his cheeks. richie squinted his eyes at stan and eddie, who both had blushes on their cheeks after glancing at each other. "what's going on with you two?"

"Nothing, what, why are you asking" eddie said fast.

"you two seem weird"

"t-they're always wuh-weird" bill waved his hand.

"I need to get to class" eddie chuckled dryly and hoisted his backpack better on his back. "see you at lunch, as always"

the others nodded and watched how eddie walked away. "he's been acting so strange lately" richie sighed.

"not that I've noticed" stan said.

"you don't notice anything" richie rolled his eyes.

"i notice a lot more than you" stan said bluntly, making richie go hesitant. "see you two at lunch"

"stan!" georgie grinned in excitement as he opened the door revealing the hazelnut haired boy, who was holding a package in his hands.

"happy birthday" stan smirked and kneed down to hug the smalled one. bill walked out of the kitchen, flour on his nose a bit. "oh hey stuh-stan"
