It was already night when I fell asleep in the woods, with Gordie, Vern, Teddy and Chris. We were gone to find a dead body, Ray Brower's lifeless body, laying somewhere near us. I shiver at the thought of it and decided to go back to sleep.

But I couldn't, not because of the ghost of this kid but Chris. I'd admit I have a huge crush on him since forever, but I know he wouldn't fall for a girl like me, who rather would want to wear a plastic bag on me than a dress ewww, I hate dresses. The only time you can see me in it, it's just because I go to church and my mom forced me.

I thought about him and how I admired for his strength. People are usually putting him down and misunderstood him, thinking he is just a low-life Chambers kid, but he is not and never will. He is the purest person I know and I love him. 

I could hear faint sobs from behind and I connect eyes with Chris, tears shining in his eyes. 

-''What's going on Chris?'' I whispered, not wanting to wake the others while sitting next to him. He didn't respond and so I let my head resting on his shoulder. After a few moment, I broke off the silence. 

-''Maybe you could to the College courses with me and Gordie.'' I still whispered. That'll be the day'' he said amused. -

'' Why not? You're smart enough.'' 

-''They won't let me'' he said sounding uninterested. 

-'' What'd you mean?'' I said quite not sure what he meant. 

-''It's the way people think of my family in this town. It's the way they think of me. Just one of those lowlife Chambers kids''. 

-''That's not true'' I said in defense. I didn't like that when he thought of himself like that. 

-''Oh it is. No one even asked me if I took the milk money that time. I just got a three-day vacation.''

-''Did you take it?'' I hesitated a while. 

-''Yeah I took it. You knew I took it. Teddy knew I took it. Everyone knew I took it. Even Vern knew it I think. Maybe I was sorry and tried to give it back.''

-''Tried to give it back?'' Now he had my full attention than before. Maybe, just maybe.

He continued what he was saying and he couldn't hold his tears back. 

-''I just wish to go somewhere where nobody's knows me'' he said crying. I let him sob in my arms by then he fall asleep and i stay awake to guard up.

''I love you Christopher Chambers''...I whispered



What the fuck is that trash, I just putted all together 🤷🏽‍♀️
