"BEV!"
Beverly stopped in her tracks as soon as she touched the door handle. She groaned as she turned to face the demon.

"Where are you going? Can we come?" Richie said, showering her with more questions as Eddie awkwardly leaned over Richie's side, his eyebrow raised.

"I'm going to hang out with someone. You don't need to." Beverly said, motioning to Eddie who's eyes slightly widened in surprise . The angel walked over to Beverly.

"Why can't you tell us? It's not like we'd stop you.." Eddie said, casting a glance at Richie.

Beverly crossed her freckled arms. "And what if you do?"

"You can trust us, babe." Richie said with a humorous roll of his eyes. Beverly gave him an even more exaggerated eye-roll.

"Actually, no. I won't take my chances."
Beverly turned to open the door.

Richie switched a glance with Eddie who shrugged, before Richie turned back to the red-head, narrowing his eyes. They widened again just as Beverly moved her body through the door.

"You're gonna see that kid Ben?" Richie said, sounding somewhat disgusted as he adjusted his rounded glasses.

"What? How'd you know?" Beverly stopped, turning on her heel and facing the demon and the angel.

"We can read your thoughts." Eddie said, putting a hand on the back of his neck. "Only when we need to, though. It's not like we can constantly hear what you're thinking." He added when Beverly's eyes widened.

Richie lifted his smoky-black wings to open the door wider, leaning his back on the frame to face Beverly. At the same moment he pulled Eddie closer with the same wing, causing the other boy to yelp.

"Benny boy is so lame, he actually likes reading? You don't." Richie said. "And plus, he's not even cute."

"Shut up! He's my friend and there's  nothing you can do to change my mind about him." Beverly said, leaning on the other side of the door frame. "And what was that you said about 'trust'?'"

"Y'know who you should meet up with instead?" Richie began, ignoring Beverly. "Bill. He's definitely someone you should try to kiss."

Beverly frowned before Eddie began to speak.

"I think you should see Ben." He said as he leaned on Richie, disregarding the look of disbelief the taller boy gave him. "He's a good influence. Nothing against Bill, I just think he's better."

Bev nodded, but she looked genuinely conflicted.

Before Beverly would start to change her mind, she sucked in breath and grabbed the door handle around Richie and urged the two out of the way as she slammed the door shut.

"Hey, Ben." Beverly said with a smile as she sat next to the boy who leaned against the tree.

"Bev." He responded in greeting, mirroring the smile.

Beverly sat down next to him, taking one of his earbuds and nodding to the beat of the song he played on his phone, switching a warm glance with him.
