"Ah, what a lovely day" Eddie said while breathing in the cool breeze that swept his back. "How can you call this a lovely day, it's freezing" Richie stated. You see, Richie hates everything about the cold. From the shivers that go down his spine, when his face gets all red, the slippery ice and snow, and his glasses get all fogged up. He loved sunbathing at quarry blasting his music. Feeling the warmth against his skin was one of his favorite feelings. "Shouldn't Bill be walking with us by now?" Eddie said looking behind him to see if Bill was behind them. "Yeah I see him trying to catch up" Richie said also looking back. They both came to a stop. Richie's hand touched Eddie's by accident. They both pulled their hands away and blushed a little. "Hey guys, ready for your second day of school?" Bill asked. "Nope" Eddie said while looking down at the ground."Don't worry Eds, your gonna do great." Richie said trying to cheer up Eddie. "Stop calling me Eds" Eddie pouted. "Get used to it buttercup" Richie states. They arrive at the school just as nervous as the first day. "I can't wait until friday" Eddie said sighing. "Friday..." Richie remembered his dream. "You ok trashmouth?" Bill asked. "Yeah, just daydreaming" Richie said as he opened the door for Eddie and Bill. "Ladies first" Richie joked. "Screw off asshole" Eddie said stealing Richie's glasses. "Hey! Your lucky I can't see" Richie shouted at Eddie. Richie started chasing Eddie around the halls. A kid who seemed to be six foot tall tripped Eddie. He fell and slid across the floor, causing him to get a slight burn. "Eddie!" Richie cried out as he saw Eddie fly down the hall. "Go help your boyfriend you gay feiry" The six foot boy said while looking at Richie. Instead of caring what that guy had to say, Richie ran right to Eddie who was tearing up because of the pain. "Hey it's ok, were going to get you some ice a-and your going to be fine" Richie said while in a bit of a gay panic. "O-Ok" Eddie mumbled. Richie helped him up and first went to the washroom to clean up his wounds. "This is might sting a little but it will help" Richie said while wetting some toilet paper and putting soap on it. Eddie grabbed onto Richie's arm and dug his head into Richie. Tears started pouring down Eddie's cheeks and onto Richie's shirt. " 3...2 ...1" Richie counted. "Ahhh oo ieee" Eddie said gripping on harder to Richie. "Done! It wasn't that bad! I'm proud of you, weasel" Richie said comforting Eddie. "Yeah, thank you. You dimwit" Eddie joked. They to boys left the bathroom. A bandage had been placed on his elbow, his knees, and his cheek. "Sorry I got your shirt all wet, I've got another one in my bag if you need it" Eddie said realizing they mess he'd made. "It's ok Ed's, your tiny shirt wouldn't fit my bigger body anyway" Richie replied. They walked into class knowing all eyes we're on them. It was second period at this point and Richie and Eddie both had math. "Richie, Eddie. Your late! I see there might have been some issues judging by they bandages. " There teacher said noticing Eddie hurt. "Yes sir, got caught with a bully. Didn't end well. ". Richie replied knowing Eddie was scared shitless. " Ok, please take a seat. If you need to talk about it after class, then please do. " The teacher said with a little smile. They sat down beside each other. Eddie looked over at Richie. "There was a bully? I didn't even notice. " Eddie said in confusion. "Yes, it was nothing. He was talking to me not you, you just happened to be in his way. Don't worry Ed's" Richie replied. "Richie! Stop talking, pay attention. You won't regret it. " The teacher yelled. A student was told to hand out today's homework. She handed it to everyone first except for Eddie and Richie who we're ranting on about what shape of rock is better to throw. She had a look of disgust on her face as she passed the papers to the boys. "Ok, class dismissed. Please don't forget about your homework! It's due Monday! " The teacher called out as students ran out the door for lunch. Richie and Eddie walked out they front door where they say Bill standing. "Bill!" Richie shouted. Bill turned his head. "Eddie! Why are you covered in bandages! " Bill said concerned. "Bully tripped him in the hall, he slid across the floor. " Richie said with a sigh. "There's an ice cream place down the street that also sells burgers if you want to go! " Bill said pointing West. Both Richie and Eddie nodded and followed Bill to a place with no name. The sign had been torn down. Inside was beautiful. The theme was red and white. The stools were red with some silver, the floor was a red and white checkers, the walls were a bit of a darker shade than the red from the stool and floors. It blended very nicely. "Wow! This place is amazing!" Eddie said with a twinkle in his eye. They sat down on the stools and looked at the menu. "Eddie I hope you know I'm paying for you" Richie said. "No your not" Eddie replied. "You've already been through so much in these first 4 days, let me treat you." Richie insisted. "Fine but I'm gonna pay you back" Eddie said almost feeling kinda guilty. "Can I get two burger meals please?" Richie ordered. The lady working nodded and wrote down his order. Bill ordered one burger meal. After waiting for what seemed like awhile, everyone got their food and walked over to the nearest booth. Eddie sat beside Richie of course. The lady who they seen before, come over to the table and placed a milkshake with two straws in front of Richie and Eddie. "I know how hard it must be. Having no one accept you. Please share this, my treat. Be proud of who you guys are!" The lady said. Richie had never been more confused in his life. It's like she read his mind. Eddie was very flustered and red. "Hey Ed's, you match the stool! You ok? " Richie said seeing Eddies completely red face. "Do we put off a g-gay vibe?" Eddie softly said. Bill giggled. Richie looked over at the clock and saw the time. "Holy shit! We've only got ten minutes til class! " Richie exclaimed. Everyone started rushing and putting stuff into there bag. "D-Do we have time to finish the milkshake?" Eddie asked missing having Richie's face so close to him. "For you, yes we do. " Richie said softly blushing. "I'll catch up with you guys later! I don't wanna be late! " Bill shouted while he ran out the door. Richie and Eddie waved goodbye. Eddie took a sip of the milkshake, then Richie at the same time. There noses touched and they just smiled brightly at each other. Bill ran back inside. "SHOOTER! SHOOTER!" Bill said while sweat, blood, and tears covered his body. The lady who had given them the milkshake locked the door and told them to run to the bathroom and lock it. In a panic they wasted no time. The shooter passed by. "RICHIEEE, COME OUT YOU GAY FAGGOT" The shooter screamed. Richie began to cry as he sat next to Eddie in the bathroom stall. Eddie seen the tears and he started to whimper along with Richie. "I-I'm sorry we're in this mess because of me. " Richie said holding on to Eddie tightly. The police arrived and spotted the shooter near the ice cream place. Quickly, eight police men ran over with guns and tasers loaded. "PUT YOUR HAND IN THE AIR. I REPEAT, HANDS IN THE AIR. " The police men all yelled. The shooter slowly put down his weapon. A little pistol that he probably found in his dads closet. All eight police men takled him to the ground. He was thrown in the back of the police car and sentenced to life in jail without the ability to bail, or pled. He was one hundred percent guilty. Richie held Eddie's head in his hands. "Oh thank god" Richie said relieved seeing his love safe. "Y-You guys ok?" Bill asked. "Yeah, just still frightened" Eddie replied. Bill stood up and helped Richie up. Eddie took out his inhaler and took a big puff. Richie reached out his hand to help Eddie up. "I love you guys so much, but I have to go home" Bill said with a sigh. "Aww ok, I love you to" Eddie replied. "Love you lots Bill" Richie said with a smile. Bill left and Eddie and Richie we're still in the bathroom. "Want to come to my house after school to study?" Richie asked knowing they had homework. Which you know.... Richie wanted to do more than just homework. But his feelings wouldn't allow him to. Eddie seemed happier and nodded. "I'll be there at four!" Eddie said with a gay look in his eyes. Richie gave him one last tight hug before getting picked up by his dad. "Why are you always with that damn boy? Can't you hang out with girls for once?" Richie's Dad said. "Why does it matter to you?" Richie replied. "I want my son to be a man, not some wussy who plays with boys!" Richie's Dad responded. He knew he would have to ask his mom if Eddie come over, knowing his dad would do something terrible to both him and Eddie if he found out he was coming over. "Mom, is it ok if my friend Eddie comes over?" Richie asked. "Of course dear, just make sure dad doesn't know" His mom replied. The clock stuck three and Richie took a look at his room. He realized his room looks like a farm that had been hit by a tornado. Clothes piled up everywhere, posters falling off the wall, a hole in his wall from his dad, dents also from his dad. He knew he couldn't let his love of his life see this room he called home. He grabbed five baskets from his mom's and dad's room, and threw all his dirty laundry in the baskets. All the baskets were over flowing with shirts, socks, pants, sweaters, polos he's never worn, and lots of other clothing he doesn't plan on touching. He hung a poster over the hole and hung the rest over as many dents as he could. After taking another look, his room looked TO clean. Eddie knew him well, he knew his room would never be this clean. So he took half of one basket and scattered it just so it looked messy enough to be Richie's bedroom, but clean enough for Eddie not be afraid to sit down and let loose. Him being scared of germs, is hard for Richie. His house is crawling with germs. He'd never tell Eddie that though. After he was done he let out a sigh. Not because he disappointed, because he was scared. He didn't want his crush taking a glance at his house and leaving in disgust. Just then, he heard a knock on the door. He became red as new born baby who'd been in the womb to long. "C-Come in" Richie said nervously. The door opened and Eddie walked in. He changed into a tighter sweater and tighter pants. The one thing Richie knew was Eddie was smoking hot. After inviting in Eddie while sweat slowly dripped down his face, he sat him down. He stared longingly into his beautiful brown eyes. His brain clicked. This was the night that Eddie would confess. If his dream was right. Was it only his imagination? Find out, in the next chapter of "Are You Reddie?". Love you guys all and I'll see you all in the next part of this chapter.
