"um h-hi" i stutter

       they all kind of just stare, a boy with coke bottle glasses which cause his eyes to appear large, dark curly hair and freckles that spread from cheek to cheek steps forward. also staring.

"oh! hi! you must be the new kid! i'm Bev, it's nice to meet you." the fire haired girl finally spoke up

"i'm Eddie, nice to uh meet you too." i smile shyly

"want to c-come with us? we're g-going swimming. oh and im Bill by the way." a boy with straight dark hair asks

"oh um hi Bill, thanks for the invite but i should probably go-"

"dude you can't turn us down, this the offer of a lifetime." the curly haired boy began

"beep beep Richie, but yeah we'd really love if you'd come" the girl named Bev smiled

"okay." i agree smiling

"im Stanley by the way, Stan is fine." a tall boy with tight blonde curls says

"i'm ben."

"nice to meet you, eddie, i'm mike."

"nice to meet you guys, thank you for inviting me." i say

"also were you the ones-"

"that were watching you creepily from the window, yes indeed, that'd be us Eddie spaghetti!" Richie booms

       The rest of the group either looks away or goes red in embarrassment.

"don't put it like that rich, way to make us seem like stalkers. we were just curious that's all." mike explains

"that what i assumed, it's okay, you don't have to be embarrassed, i found it kind of funny."

i was really curious about this new boy, and my ADHD having ass kept shooting out questions like it was a race.

"so how old are you?" i asked

"i'm sixteen, seventeen next year how about you guys?"

"i'm sixteen, and everyone else here is as well, besides mike, he's seventeen, eighteen next year, senior citizens am i right?"

he laughs, i can't help but smile at it, it's warm and i enjoy the pleasant sound a lot.

"oh beep beep richie." mike rolls his eyes

"beep beep?" he questions

"oh it's a thing they use to try and shut me up, doesn't work though." i snort

"anyways where'd you come from eddie spaghetti?" i ask

"don't call me that, and i moved here from new york."

"you moved here? from new york? why?"

"that's what I said, and my mom didn't think it was safe there, so we moved here." he replies

"oh, you're short." i state, randomly

"no i'm not!"

"you so are!"

"stop" he pouts

"wow Richie, bullying the new kid, smooth." bev rolls her eyes

"not bullying, getting him used to me." i reply sticking my tongue out

E

       they are all so nice and i'm glad to have made friends so quickly, i didn't think it'd be possible, but here i am, swimming with a whole group of new friends. oh shit, i don't have anything to swim in.
