I was alone in the Quarry, with Eddie. The other losers had decided to go home and do their own thing or whatever, and I wanted to stay at the quarry, so that's exactly what I did. I wasn't exactly sure why Eddie decided to stay there with me, but I didn't mind his company, seeing as how I liked him. We were kind of just chilling in the water, talking about random  15 year old boy stuff, when all of a sudden he started acting weird, like weirder than usual.  He was biting his finger nail and stopped directly looking at me, I know Eddie, it meant that he was nervous about something. 

"Hey uh Richie, we're like friends right?"

"Uh yea?" I say confused.

"And we'll be friends no matter what?" he asks

"uh yea, I'm pretty sure man..."

"I need to tell you something..."

"uhm okay shoot." I say, still very confused as to where this was going.

The next thing I know Eddie is lunging at me and pulling my face to his so that his lips were against mine. I didn't really know how to react so I did the first thing that came to mind, I pushed him away,

"Dude!" I yell at him

"I'm sorry! Just hear me out man! I wasn't sure if I liked you..." Eddie tried stating calmly.

"Dude! I-I'm not...I'm not gay! I don't like you like that! I-I" I said trying get my point across to him

"Richie calm down..."

"Calm down?! Calm down how can I calm down when you just fucking kissed me out of the blue!"

"I just needed to test a theory, I thought maybe I liked you...or maybe you liked me..." Eddie said quietly, not daring to look at me.

"Dude I like you as a friend! friends don't fucking kiss! Maybe if you had tits or something then like maybe it would be different or something!" I yelled at him.

I was angry now. I wasn't even sure why, I just was. I didn't want to be at the quarry anymore so I got out and started to put my clothes on over my wet body not caring how uncomfortable I felt physically, due to the fact how emotionally uncomfortable I was. Once all my clothes were on I grab my bike and started to walk away with it, but Eddie spoke once more, stopping me in my tracks,

"C-can you at least promise me you won't tell anyone??"

I looked back at him and he had this panicked look in his eyes, but I had no words for him, so I turned my head back around, got on my bike, and rode off.
