After swimming in the quarry i make sure to get out before everyone so they can't see my body.
I wrap the towel i brought around my body.
My curly black hair hair plastered against my forehead due to the wetness.
I shake my head a little, drying my hair a little bit so it's not dripping wet.
Before everyone gets up here i take a moment to get dressed into my clothes.
After i get dressed i sit down and look over at everyone coming up.
Me and Eddie make eye contact making my heart almost.. stutter?
I just admired Eddie as he wrapped up in a towel.
Eddie came over to sit next to me causing me to jump a little.
I looked over at the little boy next to me and i just admired how his eyes sparkled in the sunset.
His eyes are so pretty... Wait- No- no their not.
I shook my head getting up getting ready to leave.
I don't wanna be alone at home but i can't stay here cause i don't like this feeling.
"Hey! Richie! where are you going" i turn around to see a curly red head.
I feel my palms start sweating and my knees become weak. I can't tell the reason i want to leave is because i feel weird with Eddie.
"Oi there mate i gotta go home to get me work done" i said in a horrible accident.
Her eyebrows furrowed.
"Richie what's really going on? You can tell us anything" Bev says looking back at the others.
"No i'm okay, really! i just have to go!" i say hopping on my bike and peddling off.
"No! Wait!" i hear Bev call but that doesn't stop me from leaving.
I peddle all the way to my house.
My mom and dad are still not here.
My birthday is coming up.
August 16th
It's in a couple days..
I don't think my mom and dad will be back by the time my birthday comes around.
At least i have Bev... Everyone else will probably leave me by the time it comes around.
I sit down on my porch and look down at the ground.
I don't know what this feeling is but i know i can't hangout with Eddie anymore.
I look up and see a boy on a bike.
I look closer and realize it's stan. As if almost on cue he looks overs and smiles changing the way his bikes going.
He turns around and starts heading towards me.
I panic and stand up quickly.
I can't go in or that would just be mean.
So i start walking towards him.
"Hiya Trashmouth" Stanley says smiling.
"Howdy good sir" i said in a cowboy accent due to nervousness.
"I was wondering if you wanted to go bird watching with me? I know it's probably lame but it relieves stress-" He said starting to ramble on. So i cut him off.
"I would love to" i said smiling. Of course i thought it was lame i just don't like being alone, i like being out of my house.
"Really? i for sure thought you were going to say no" Stan says scratching the back of his neck.
I like his hair. It's nice..
