Richie felt the impact as he hit the water. God, how many memories it brought back. He bust through the top crust of the water and glanced around for Eddie. Where was he? "Eddie? EDDIE!! WHERE ARE YOU?!?!?!?!?!" Just about that time, Eddie pushed up through the water and pushed Richie forward making him fall back in the water. Richie smiles to himself as he opened his eyes and swam under Eddie's legs. Eddie felt Richie grab his knees and in seconds he was out of the water on his shoulders being swung in all directions as Richie laughed. Eddie playfully screamed and fell backwards into the water. He came back up smiling, making eye contact with Richie for only a second before Richie looked away awkwardly.
Eddie blushed. Why did this boy do this to him? He brushed the thought away and swam up to Richie. He had to talk to him about what had happened at school last week. "Rich, can we talk?" Eddie asked as Richie looked down at him, their height difference not closing any in the last three years. "Sure..." Richie responded sensing the serious tone in Eddie's voice.
They swam over to a rock and Richie sat down, Eddie standing beside him so they were closer the same height. It's hard to have a serious conversation with someone when they're having to look down at you, now he had to look down at Richie (which was a nice change) "So, how are you? After what happened..." Eddie asked in a concerned tone. Richie knew that he was referring to, he knew Eddie would ask him about it.
