[cuts into a group of students in the halls walking  outside]

I'm playing the beatles in the headphones of my walkman yet I still hear the voices of my friends.

It's four of us.

that tall linky boy that has curly hair pretty long brown hair almost shoulder-length he has pale skin with light brown eyes. He's the one in a light blue short sleeve button down and grey dress pants, that's Stanley Uris we've been friends since eighth grade he's brains of the group.

Next to him is bill Denbrough he is taller though he is about five-seven while Stanley was like five-six he has straight hair and it's parted in the middle but the right side has more hair not enough to fully fall in his face, he has on a short sleeve striped shirt and high waisted light wash jeans he has a stutter...

Then there was Richie Tozier next to me he is the tallest he is five-ten which means he's taller than me too.

he has short curly hair he's wearing a Hawaiian shirt and board shorts he has round glasses I've to know him the longest he is the clown of the group which is pretty ironic because he's frightened by clowns.

Then there 's me, Eddie I have on green khaki shorts and a white polo shirt followed by my black fanny pack I bring everywhere, I have asthma and get hurt easily.

we all swiftly stop at my locker my blue regular locker, unfortunately, I had to deal with Richie's annoyance about my mother and about me he's annoying but we've been best friends since elementary school he really stood up for me.

Lately, I've been feeling reluctantly queasy it's so annoying I've had stomach aches and headaches.

[cuts into the conversation]

Eddie: "My head has been hurting so much lately, "

Richie: "really you probably got it from your mother she has everything like-,"

Eddie interrupted him

Eddie: "shut up you have everything!"

Richie looks flustered

Richie: "whatever, " 

Third person point of view

Richie fixes his glasses placing them on his face better in place as they were a bit to the side he looks uncomfortable.

Eddie has trouble with his locker fiddling if after putting in the right code a bunch of times like seven times.

Bill then said in an annoyed tone," hurry uh-up e-e-Eddie, " then Richie says, "I got it, " he pushes him aside and first tries gets it.

He gives his books then heads to the class which he had just remembered was with Richie and Stanley they walked to class as Richie was talking about a crazy couple on the train he saw in the morning chatting up a storm until we got in our seats in the class.

I hate my seat every time I move it squeaks and everyone stares at me...

Richie sits next to me with those light brown of his wandering around the room.

He looks at me then starts to tap his pencil on the table he looks at me then he said, " we could switch places," he fixes his glasses again and kind of smile "thanks, " I say uncomfortably

Richie never acts that nice he's been acting differently these past weeks like last week no witty banner this morning was the closest to that...

we switched spot he moved so all I had to do was school to his seat it's warm he then ungainly sits in that annoying hell seat.

"That was pretty nice, " I said then Richie replied with, "whatever assface, " he then started to focus on the lesson.

As the clock was ticking so slow... I kept staring at Richie for some reason he was focused and writing and his nice light brown with that shiny curly hair is sun kissed by the sunlight through the window. Then I see a red drop drip on my paper its blood

"not again, " I murmur  he then looks over then whispers, "fuck your nose looks a fucking vagina!" he starts to laugh "how would you know?" I said he then answered with"I fucked your mom last night, " I roll my eyes I then stumbled on my comeback I got flustered he then laughed and said, " look who's blushing-" "shut up," I say annoyed interrupting him he then continues like I didn't just say what I said," you're so cute mad though .... " he smiles then starts to chuckled.

I raised my right hand while the left is covering my nose then the teacher realized what was happening so he told me and Richie to go to the nurse to get cleaned up.

Why him?

I start to use the tissues in the nurse's office even though I had a bunch in my fanny pack.

I'm a very organized individual I just wanted to stretch my restless legs that bothersome class.

The worry comes from my mother though I have friends that aren't as high maintenance though which keeps me grounded.

I and Richie walk out of him slightly behind me. The nurse gave me an ice pack he then said," Eds do we have to go back to class?". I smiled unconvincingly   "yes we do, "I say in a pretty stale tone walking a bit faster.

He grabs my hand, "please that class sucks,". He's still holding my hand tightly it's warm my face must be red "nope Richie,". He then looks at his watch and puts it up to his face then says," please let's go to my locker it's only 11:11 and the class ends at 12:00," I rolled my eyes he then said continuing to try convincing me, "I need my water bottle ack!" After that, I reluctantly agreed even though it was obviously not true.

He continued to hold my now noticeably sweaty hand I let go pretending to adjust my fanny he looks at me then I look at him we make eye contact but shortly after at the same time look away.

what was that?

We get to his locker that is across from mine I sit on the bay window lounging couch nearby then he gets his books and a bag I'm assuming that's lunch he then brings out brownies that his mother made that I loved so much he sat next to me as he started eating one the I said, "really?" he then smirked and said, "what?" coyly I put out my hand he held it while the bag of brownies on the other hand he laughed.

I rolled my eyes he was still holding my hand.
