Mikes' POV
I woke up to someone fanning my face. "What happened?" I mumbled looking up at them. "Well...you may or may not have passed out once you saw me." I squinted my eyes to see their face properly and what do you know, Richie.
"Y-Yeah. Why didn't they tell us we look alike?" Richie shrugged his shoulders and walked off. "I don't know, and I honestly don't care. I'm going to hand out with the losers." Richies mom came back and scolded Richie. "Richie take him to meet your friends! He's going to be here for a while!" Richie looked at her and sighed wiping his face. "But mom. What am I supposed to say when they notice that he looks like me?"

She smirked and said "You'll figure it out." Richie didn't even look at me, just looked in my direction and signed for me to follow him. So I did. Once we got outside I noticed how different Derry was from Hawkins. It was sort of... peaceful. "Hey. We're going to Eddies' first. Don't embarrass me please." I rolled my eyes at him but nodded. We got to this so called Eddies' house and Richie ran up to the door and banged on it.

It opened to reveal a short tan boy with a fanny packed wrapped around his waist, and red shorts on. If I didn't know any better I'd assume that he's gay. I was glad that he didn't acknowledge my presence because what would I say and what would I do? They started talking for a bit before he looked back at me and froze. Then started looking between me and Richie.

"Wait. What?" He said as he closed the door and walked away from it. "Don't ask questions until we have all the losers together." Eddie sighed shakily and nodded followed along. Eddie kind of reminds me of Will. The soft personality, the girly body shape, the doe shaped eyes. Oh how I miss Will. But it's not like I can do anything about it.
I was taken out of my trance by someone snapping in my face. "Hey, dipshit. We're at the quarry." Oh yeah, I'm meeting Richies friends. "Okay focus, Wheeler. We have a lot of questions to answer. Even though this bulls hit has nothing to do with me." I rolled my eye at him as he continued talking. "This over here is Bev. Short for Beverly" He points at a girl with short red hair, and the most electrifying blue eyes. She's beautiful, but look, I'm gay. He then points at another boy with blonde/brown curly hair and brown eyes. "That over there is Staniel." Staniel or whatever shook his head. "For the last time Richie, my name is Stanley, long for Stan." Stanley didn't seem fazed by me, which I appreciated.

Then he looked over to another boy with short brown hair and blue eyes. "That is billy boy." Bill smiled at me then shifted awkwardly. He walked over to a dark skinned boy and wrapped his arm around his shoulders. "Michael, meet Mike." He says pointing to me then Mike. We both looked at each other then shrugged. "Last but not least, Ben Hanscom. Now any questions, before I lose my interest?"
Eddie as I've gathered by now walked up to us first. "How does he look like you?"

Richie hummed before speaking. "If I'm being completely honest, I don't know. One day my mom comes in my room telling me someone is coming to live with us for a few months and the next week he shows up and BAM! This bitch shows up at my door and faints." I felt the blush spread across my face. "Nobody else wang to know anything?" Everyone shook their heads and one by one they jumped in the quarry.

Once we're done we all gather their stuff together and head home seeing it was getting dark by the minute. I think Richie likes Eddie. He looks at Eddie like he's his entire life, and he always takes time out of his day to visit him and now, he's taking him home. FUCK! WHY DID MY DAD DO THIS!?
