Stanley opened his front door and gave Maisy a quick smile then ran to the side of his house to grab his bike. As the two rode to the quarry they started a conversation about how excited they were for summer. 1 month. That's 4 weeks. 30 days. Then freedom for another 7 weeks. The losers had plans to go to the fair, arcade, quarry, mall, park, etc. Because the simple fact was they were inseparable and going too long apart would drive them crazy.

Maisy and Stanley arrived at the quarry in no time and quite literally threw their bikes to one side and stripped down into their swimsuits. Maisy was self conscious but pretended to be confident with herself until she convinced herself she was.
"you two took your time" Richie Tozier was extremely sarcastic, annoying at times but Maisy had a soft spot for him, even though he was constantly hitting on her. The losers club wasn't the losers club without him and everyone knew that.
"we took 5 minuets" Maisy said back
"7." corrected Ben. Ben Hanscom was a huge bookworm. He was new to the school last year and that was one of the multiple reasons he got bullied. It was common knowledge that he had a crush on Bev but it never really went anywhere, however he always gave the best relationship advice somehow.
"So who's going first?" Bill interrupted. Bill was the ring leader of the group. He lost his brother last year in some big crisis according to the losers club but the whole thing confused Maisy even though they had explained it to her multiple times. Bill also had a crush on Beverly however in his case, they are now dating.

All 8 of the losers lined along the cliff and waited for their confidence to build enough to jump even though they did this every other weekend.
"fuck it." Maisy grabbed Stanley's hand and jumped off of the cliff, pulling him with her. They both splashed in the water and eventually floated back to the surface.
"what was that for?" said Stanley, struggling to see through his curly hair which was now in front of his eyes.
"I just didn't want to jump on my own" Mai replied, catching her breath. The two just smiled at each other for a few seconds before being interrupted by Ritchie screaming from the top of the cliff.
"THIS IS YOUR CHANCE STAN THE MAN! KISS HER!!"
They both just laughed and Stan flipped him off and soon enough everyone was in the water, having chicken fights and drowning each other.

As the sun set, the group were sat on the rock at the bottom of the cliff. The warm air had been replaced by a cold breeze. Maisy was leaned against a rock in nothing but her bikini bottoms and a t-shirt. Her wet hair was tucked behind her ears and she was completely zoned out, watching the sun set. Stan came and sat to the left of her. The tiredness showed in her face and the way she rested her head on his shoulder. Something that she would never usually do.

One by one the losers made their way back up the cliff and rode home.
"Maisy?"
"yeah?"
"you wanna go?" asked Stan. They always left together as they lived next to each other.
"may as well." Mai replied.
The pair got to their bikes and rode home one behind the other. They hopped off of their biked and quickly hugged then they entered their homes in sync.
