MONDAY

Just like any other Monday, Eddie woke up with a groan and silenced his alarm in one quick motion, already dreading his first class. After spending every day last semester up before the sun for track practice, he was hoping for a chance to finally sleep in but clearly, his 8:00am Chemistry for Health Professionals class had other ideas. Eddie reached for the clothes he laid out on top of his desk chair the night before, careful not to wake up his roommate and high school friend, Mike, and headed for the bathroom to change. Looking in the mirror, Eddie realized just how badly he needed a haircut. From there, his eyes continued to wander, making a mental note to go back to the gym soon when he noticed the loss of definition in his legs. His second alarm went off, interrupting his thoughts and signaling that he only had twenty minutes to get to class. Eddie quickly completed his morning routine, quitely scolding himself for not having enough time to brush his teeth twice, and threw on a pair of black jeans and a light blue hoodie he had thrifted the other weekend that was two sizes too big for him before heading out the door.

As expected, Eddie found himself struggling to stay awake in class. It's not that he didn't enjoy the class, honestly, there was nothing he loved more than learning about stoichiometry, stereochemistry and periodicity of the elements but he hadn't had breakfast this morning and he felt as though he was running on empty. Discreetly, so as not to get yelled at by his professor, he pulled out his phone and sent a quick message to his friends.

eddie

That was one of the nice things about having such a big, close friend group; no matter the occasion or the time, there was always someone to make sure you were never alone. Somehow, this thought made it easier for Eddie to get through the rest of the class and as he walked out, true to their word, he was greeted by Richie and Bev standing outside.

"Put your hands out." Richie spoke, a child like smile on his face.

"What'd you break this time?" Eddie asked.

"Your mom's heart when I told her I couldn't fuck her anymore!" Richie replied, one of his hands held up high, awaiting a high five.

"Richie what the fuck it's too early for this."

Ushering Richie's hand down, an apologetic look on her face, Bev handed Eddie the bag Richie had been holding. "We wanted to bring you breakfast, we know how you get when you're off schedule."

Eddie appreciatively murmured some 'thank you's', leading the three of them to a bench underneath some trees, fresh snow dusting the grass. Bev and Eddie sat down next to each other as they watched Richie wander off into the snow, aimlessly making snowballs in his hands just to drop them on the floor a few moments later. Eddie never understood why Richie did the things he did, but he did appreciate the fact that almost all of them put a smile on his face, even if he hid that smile from Richie most of the time. Even Bev had to fight back a laugh when Richie reached up and pulled on a low hanging branch, genuinely surprised that snow was falling on him as a result.
