The Aftermath (Reddie)

11

Richie's POV

"Where's Laura?" Stan asked as I sat down next to him at lunch.

I shuddered at her name and shrugged.

"Oh y-yeah, how was y-your date?" Bill asked with his eyebrows wiggling.

I pushed my glasses up, "Eh, we aren't soulmates, not too heartbroken about it."

Both Stan and Bill laughed.

"I'm just surprised you actually went on a date with a pretty girl!" Stan was teasing me, but I felt my heart drop.

"Why is it surprising I went out with a girl?!" I was practically shouting, "I love girls!"

Real convincing Rich.

I was about to dramatically stomp out when I was doused in cold milk.

I quickly tried to clear my glasses to view my attacker, which I suspected to be a senior.

But it wasn't.

It was Laura Johnson. A very pissed Laura Johnson.

"The fuck-" Stan and Bill both exclaimed.

But Laura cut them off with a very intense and spiteful glare.

"Richie fucking Tozier!" She successfully got the attention of the whole lunchroom with her scream.

I found the nerve to speak, "w-what's up Laura?"

"You are the biggest dick I have ever met!"

I looked back nervously at my friends, they offered no help.

"Who runs out on a girl while they are making out?!"

Oh fuck.

"We were on a date! And you left me alone in that movie theater after making such a scene of running out, it was so embarrassing!"

"Laura I'm so-"

"Sorry?" she interrupted, "No, I'm sorry that I ever decided to go out with you. I had thought all of the rumors were fake,"

My eyes went wide, I knew what she was going to say.

"Laura, it's not what you think," I was pleading with her. Begging her not to say what I knew was coming next.

She scoffed, "Richie Tozier is gay!" she screeched.

Oh shit oh fuck oh no.

"In fact," she continued, "he's so gay he can't even kiss a girl without gagging!"

And then I ran out of the lunchroom.

Another short chapter, but this one was suspenseful so..

I don't even care that like no one is reading this book cause I just like to write it.
