eddie groaned, he got up and turned off his alarm. he was exhausted; he didn't want to go to school or see greta.

he slipped on a pastel pink t-shirt, short red shorts, and sneakers. he ran downstairs where he was stopped by his mom, "eddie bear, i made your lunch," he cringed at the nickname.

"thanks, mommy" he cringed again, he hated that his mother made him call her that. he tried to ignore her, he got some toast and headed over to the toaster.

"eddie bear, let me make it, i don't want you burning yourself." she reached for the bread while eddie stepped out of the way, sighing.

his phone beeped, he grabbed it out of his pocket to find a text from 'richie❤😊'

richie❤😊: eds, greta has cheer today, can you come??

eddie: sure ig, also don't call me that

richie❤😊: thx! I owe u one, watching her gets boring

eddie took a deep breath. he picked up the toast that was most clearly burnt, plus it barely had any butter on it. he kissesed his mom's cheek and then sprinted out the door and next to school.

richie had on a bright smile, he found himself chatting with greta, bev, stan, mike, and bill while he swiftly walked to his classroom. greta rushed off to her own class while bev gave  her the finger. richie wasn't paying attention.

eddie met ben while he got to school, and they both headed over to the rest of the losers.

"oh hey eddie and ben!" bev welcomed. shewas clearly pleased to see them. just as richie started to greet them, too, the bell rung.

eddie walked with bill and richie to 1st period, since they all had it together. they sat at their desks while listening to their boring teacher drone on about a topic they only cared about for good grades. well, richie didn't. richie was too busy scribbling something on a piece of paper and handing it to eddie. eddie glanced at the paper quickly. it read 'meet me after school by the gate, i need some advice.'

just as eddie was about to nod at richie, the teacher glared at him and questioned,"what does that say? are you passing notes in my classroom?" her voice was booming. eddie hesitated, but stuck the note into his mouth, chewing it. the whole time he thought of how unsanitary it is... where has this piece of paper been??

interrupting eddie's thoughts was the bell. eddie stood up, spit out the note, and headed to second period.

time skip

eddie hurried to the lunchtable him and the losers basically owned, he seated himself across from richie, greta clinging onto him. eddie sighed that was him.

why did he have to fall for a straight guy with a girlfriend?
