eddie had on a pastel yellow sweater that reached to his knees with skinny jeans under, his fluffy brown hair looking wild. he decided he wouldn't gel it because it would get wet.

he sighed while running a hand through his hair, today was gonna be awkward due to him not being able to talk to richie. he pondered whether or not he should apologize; since he felt he did nothing wrong, he decided against it.

he picked up his phone, texting beverly to ask if she could pick him up. they weren't kids anynore, their bikes weren't as cool to use as they used to be, also cars were more convenient.

eddie: bev, can you bring me to the quarry??

beverly: ofc

he put down his phone, relieved. he speed walked downstairs, opened the door, and sat on the front step. the breeze lightly tickled his skin.

beverly's car pulled up and eddie jumped up, walking towards her car. he opened the passenger seat and sat down while beverly started the car.

beverly turned her head to face eddie, her orange hair bouncing slightly. her eyes glistened with excitment, "eddie, greta isn't gonna be there!" beverly said, beaming.

"but richie takes her everywhere.." eddie said, eyebrows scrunched together in a confused manor.

"well, she can't come because she has cheer practice!" beverly announced to eddie.

"sweet!" eddie beamed.

"i can see how she treats you, eddie. i tried telling richie, but he didn't believe me." beverly brought up, biting her lip, her eyes showed a hint of sadness.

"that's alright," eddie paused, "atleast you tried."

"yeah.. sorry.." they sat in silence for a bit before the red head spoke up again, "alright. let's get a move on!"

eddie and beverly sat in a comfortable silence as beverly tapped her long, black, paint chipped nails against the steering wheel. eddie takes in the view, the trees going by quickly. the clouds swirled around like cotton candy at a fair. it reminded eddie of all the times he and the losers would go to fairs, well, when his mom let him.

beverly parked her car, undid her seatbelt, and opened the car door. she shut it, then hurried to eddie's door to prevent him from getting out. then, she opened his door. she reached her hand out with an odd face that was supposed to be a butler's. eddie took  it, giggling. she was suprisingly strong, so she could easily pull him out. smiling brightly, she asked, "ready to go mister kaspbrak?" she giggled after she said it.

"of course!" eddie snickered back.

they walked on the path leading towards the quarry. the breeze pushed their hair back slightly as the leaves fell to the ground like apples ready to be eaten.

when they get to the top, they saw richie, bill, ben and stan. bill waved, "huh-hi buh-buh-beverly, and eddie! a-as you cuh-could guh-guess mike's not huh-here yet."

"oh, okay." beverly answered, sitting towards the far left, next to bill. stan is sitting in between bill and ben, ben sitting between stan and richie.

bill grabbed stan's hand, intertwining their fingers while smiling. stan's lips tug upwards into a grin.

richie stands and walks towards eddie and whispers in his ear, "i"m sorry about last night, i was just upset." eddie could swear richie's eyes darted down to eddie's lips, but then again, he was probably just seeing things.

"it's alright," eddie replied with his lips tugging upwards.

they heard crunching on leaves, they all whipped their heads around towards the source of the sound, mike lightly jogged over. "hey guys, sorry im late, i had to work longer then i thought i would have to."

everyone nods in response "so, fuckers, we jumping or are you pussy?" richie asks adjusting the glasses that sit on his freckle covered nose. eddie noticed how they looked like stars on a deep, dark night. his chocolate eyes caught the sunlight.

"beep beep, richie," eddie sighed. everyone agreed and started stripping to their underwear. except beverly who was in underwear and a bra. eddie stood over the cliff, his breath hitched and his throat began closing. he grabbed at his baby blue inhaler, parting his lips slightly. the cold smokey dust feeling thing went down his throat.

everyone reached the edge of the cliff while richie counted down.

"5! 4! 3! 2! 1!"

no one jumped except for eddie, who  realized they were tricking him. he screamed, "FUCK YOU!!" while flailing his arms and almost having a panic attack.

all the losers (except eddie) laugh at their friend while bill and stan jump together, and bev pushes richie off, who drags her down with him. mike jumped with ben following.

they all resurfaced while smiling at each other.

that was gonna be fun.
