"You guys are dating?!" Ben and Mike yell.
"Yeah, I thought we were being sort of obvious at the lake." Bill says.
"You okay, Babe?" Bill asks me.
"Yeah. I'm okay, Baby." I whisper. I'm still quiet around everyone else. I mean, I just started opening up to Bill. Plus, what's going to happen to Bill and I once we start school again and we go back home? Will we break up? Will we stay together? I have to enjoy it now. Suddenly, a loud bang interrupts everyone's conversations. Fireworks fill the sky. I watch how Bill's face light up whenever another firework goes off. I watch and observe a lot. Once the fireworks are over, the counselors make us go back into our cabins to go to bed. Bill takes my hand and I flinch a little. Bill is used to it. I've never gotten this type of love. He smiles softly at me and I follow him back to the cabin. We go in our usual order. Eddie, Bill, Richie, and then me. Quiet, reserved, Stanley Uris. That's how everyone is going to react at Derry high. High school. I haven't thought about how people were going to react at the high school. I watch as Bill and Richie fool around.
"Bill, what's going to happen when we go back home!" I blurt out. It seems as everything stops. Richie goes into the bathroom.
"Why do you ask, Stan?" He questions.
"I mean, we're going back to Derry. A very homophobic town, and we're going to be freshman." I reply. Bill cups my cheeks with his soft hands.
"I don't care. We're staying together. I'm staying with you."
