Eddie always felt like the "odd one" in the group. People made fun of him for not knowing things that he should know already. His friends understand that he's never gotten out of his home since he was five to thirteen. People called him names he never understood. They called him 'fag', 'queer', 'faggot', and others. Eddie would just stare at them with a confused look. They would question him why he never knew what the word meant, Eddie would just shrug his shoulders. They would laugh and point. Until, Richie(his best friend) stood up for him and took him somewhere private and told him everything he needed to know. Richie thought he would be uncomfortable and shocked. Eddie wasn't, he just smiled and thanked Richie. Richie wasn't dumb, he knew Eddie was faking. About five weeks later, Eddie has changed. He changed up his hair style, what he wore, and he wore makeup too.

Richie's POV~

I knew Eddie has been missing our meetings at the quarry, but I never knew he was doing this. My mouth was slightly opened and everything around me felt like it was gone..and it was just him. The feeling in my stomach felt..good, but also turning. To me ever since kindergarten I thought Eddie was the most gorgeous person on earth. Obviously he still is and always will be. "Like what you seeing Richie?" Eddie said walking up giggling. I realized I have been staring ever since he walked in. "I-...uh-...yeah...I guess." I said stuttering out looking down. I could feel the blush on my cheeks and how hot they are. For some reason, I started to..cry. "I'm sorry, I need some air." I chocked out a sob at the end and ran out the school entrance. I ran to the quarry as fast as I could. I heard the voices of my friends calling for me, but I ignored it. I sat down on the edge and just cried while thinking. 'They'll all hate me!! I'm fucking gay and don't know how to deal with it!' I thought sobbing into my hands. "How can I be so IGNORANT!! They'll hate me!" I sobbed out. I felt a hand on my shoulder. I jumped and looked over. Eddie stood there smiling softly. I looked back down quickly and sobbed quietly. I held up my hand straight out and it shook furiously. I put my hand back down. "Rich?" Eddie asked as he sat down next to me and grabbed one of my hands. "Let me guess, you don't wanna be friends with me..cause I'm a fag?" I snapped still looking down. "Richie..no! I followed cause I wanted you to know that I'm gay too." He said softly rubbing circular motions on my hand with the pad of his thumb. "I'm sorry...for leaving you like that." I said looking at him. Eddie smiled and took his free hand and wiped away one of the tears that rolled down my cheek. He kept his hand there and his eyes shifted to my lips then back to my eyes. We leaned in and our lips touched. It was the most magical thing ever. I would be lying if I said there wasn't sparks. We pulled apart and Eddie giggled. "What?" I asked softly smiling. "Nothing, just..always wanted to do that since I was twelve." Eddie said looking down smiling. "I like this look, it's different. A good different!" I said leaning my head onto his shoulder. "Thanks Rich." Eddie said leaning his head onto mine holding my hand a little more. "Eddie?" I asked smiling. "Yes Rich?" He asked. "Will you be the honor of being my certified boyfriend?" I asked grinning. "I'd love to!" He said giggling kissing my forehead.
