derry, maine.
the quarry.
8:23 PM.
JUNE 1989.

everyone was out of the water and drying.

em and bev were laying next to each other and the boys stared in awe at them. i smiled and sat on a rock facing them.

beverly shifted and they all stopped looking. i snickered and turned around, looking at the water.

"who gave you this?" i heard richie speak from behind me.

"no one!" ben answered.

"someone from derry gave you a card from where you live?"

"no! it's... different."

richie started making fun of anyone and everyone and i rolled my eyes. how could anyone like him?

someone sat next to me and i looked to see it was bill.

"hi." i said, softly.

he nodded and smiled.

"wouldya look at the love birds over there!" richie quipped. i raised a middle finger up to him.

"s-s-s-sorry ab-b-bout r-r-richie." bill said, his cheeks dusted pink.

i smiled at him, lowering my hand.

"it's fine. richie and i have hated each other for years. we always tease each other."

"d-d-do you l-like him?"

"ew, god, no!" i sensed he relaxed a bit. "you're the third person to think that. plus..." i looked back to the water. "there's someone else i like."

8:39 PM.
