~Interruption pt. 3 Bev~

*slight benverly along with this*
~3rd Person POV~

Richie and Beverly had a relatively casual relationship. They were best friends with benefits. When they were bored during 6th period, they would both go make out in the janitors closet or smoke a cigarette behind the school. There was no real romantic attraction there, they were both just using each other to satisfy their needs. That is, until, Richie found his love for Eddie Kaspbrak.

Richie and Beverly had slightly different class schedules. During 6th period, Richie had AP US History and Beverly just took simple US History. Richie was one smart cookie. His friends were always surprised to see that Trashmouth got straight A's. He takes 3 different AP classes, which didn't shock Bev.

One crisp, autumn day, Richie met the redhead in the janitor's closet. Bev didn't really wanted to talk, just make out, but of course, Richie broke the kiss and spoke up.

"Hey, um Bev, there's something I wanna-" He was cut off by Bev crashing her lips on his, then to his neck. He interrupted again and pushed her away.
"No, Beverly. It's important." She stopped. He never called her Beverly. She smiled and stared into his deep, brown eyes showing that she was listening to him as he confessed something.

"I, think I, uh, might be..." he trailed off.
"Be what? Gay? Cause there's no way, you're to good of a kisser to be gay."

"What's that supposed to mean?" He didn't wait for an answer.
"No, Beverly. I think that I might like girls...and boys." He said that last part quietly.
"And who..?"
"BOYS! I like boys too! Jesus, Bev!" He shouted.

Bev was silent for a moment, only because she was trying to comprehend what Richie meant. Bev's silence worried Richie because he was afraid that she wouldn't want to speak to him again. Eventually, she replied to Richie.

"oh."

"I'm sorry, I never should have told you. Just pretend you never heard that. Kiss me." He went straight for her cherry colored lips, but she backed away and refused to look him in the eye. He thought that his worst fear had come true.

She then broke out in laughter and tackled him. The two both hit the cold floor with a thud. She failed at tricking him into thinking she was a homophobe. She did crazy things like that sometimes, but no one knew why.
"That's great Richie, but I think everyone knew before you did."

"What do you mean, Bev?"
"All of us see the way you look at him, well except him, of course."

"Who, Bev?" He wanted to know if they all knew about Eddie.
"Eddie," she muttered under her breath that she hoped she was right.

Richie's face became as red as a tomato, because she was right. He was hopelessly in love with Eddie Kaspbrak.

"I KNEW IT! Richie likes Eddie, Richie likes Eddie!" She teased him like there was no tomorrow.
"By the way, there is a name for that." She said.
"Name for what?"
"Like when a boy likes a boy, they are gay. But when someone likes girls and boys, then they are bi, like bisexual."

"Oh, that's cool I guess. How did you know that?" Richie said.
"Well I've been going to the library a lot with Ben, and I found a book about sexuality and it was very compelling. And don't worry, I'm accepting of all of them, so don't be afraid to come to me."
