*Richie Tozier*
Shit! Now I have to ask him.
I shoot a death stare at all of them.
"Eddie, ever since I met you, literally two weeks ago, I couldn't stop thinking about you! Your fiery personality, big brown doe eyes, adorable stature, a smile that could light up a room, and a laugh that could make anyone's day. Especially mine. I know it's Maine and it's 1992, and we're going to get killed. But I like you so so much, maybe even love you! Will you make me the happiest Trashmouth and go out with me?"
Please say yes. Please say yes. Please say yes!
Eddie smiles.
"Of course, Chee." Eddie tells me. I basically tackle him he melts into my touch. The rest of the cheer.
"Don't tell me you're gay now, Mike." Ben says. We all laugh.
"Let's go swimming!" Bev suggests. We all agree. Eddie heads into the bathroom to change and take his pills. I change into my swim suit. I wait for Eddie.
"Richie, what if the water is invested with some disease?" Eddie worriedly asks. I wrap an arm around Eddie's waist as we walk through the woods to the lake.
"It's probably just like the quarry, Eds. It'll be fine!" I  tell him.
"Don't call me, Eds!"
"You gave me the permission when you said yes to dating me, Darlin'." I say in the worst Texan accent. Eddie rolls his eyes.
"We're here!" Bill says. Everyone lays out their towels. The water, surprisingly is crystal clear.
"Think that water has disease?" I sarcastically ask.
I basically get pushed in by Eddie.
"Oh, come here and give your boyfriend a hug!" I tell Eddie once I'm soaking wet. He "runs" away I catch him almost right away because Eddie doesn't run because of his asthma. I hug him and I push him in as well.
"Tozier, come here!"
