"Okay soo drive-in movie, Friday night, you're all coming," Richie stated, hopping over the half torn-up, red diner seat to slide in next to Eddie, before waving a finger over at Bill, "oh and Bill? You're driving big guy."

"Just because Bill recently got his license does not mean you can keep milking him every time you need a car," Stanley sighed as he lazily tapped his pen against his history book.

"I'm not milking him."

"You are milking him."

"No I'm not— what's that even supposed to mean? Milking? Like he's a cow or something? I don't understand your Jewish slang sometimes, really Stan."

"You're Jewish too idiot! And it has nothing to do with that— I mean seriously can you not be irritating for at least one second? Your stupidity is giving me a headache.."

Eddie sighed loudly and slammed his textbook shut, "both of you just shut up already, Richie what's this drive-in movie thing you're on about?" he asked out of curiosity as he turned to face his boyfriend. "You haven't seen the posters at school? I've already convinced Bev, Ben and Mikey to come soo that just leaves you three," Richie answered, stealing some of Stanley's food— who of which just rolled his eyes in response.

Bill shrugged, "I m-mean I can c-c-come I g—"

"Awesome!" Richie cut him off and began to scan the diner table, consisting of the other three's schoolwork, including Eddies journal which he knew definitely not to touch now, "right what's all this then? Studying are we eh? That's a good chap, you'll be off to medical school in no time!"

"Please don't speak— ever again," Eddie groaned, shaking his head at Richies awful British-guy accent.

"Alright guys, gotta bounce!"

"You literally just got here?" Stanley raised an eyebrow.

"I don't wanna sit around in a boring old diner, there's a wilderness to explore! Also no I just really need to fucking take a leak right now, like really bad, gotta run!" Richie announced, pinching Eddies cheek before running off, followed by a small bell-ringing sound as he pushed open the door to leave.

"Can he keep still for once?"

Eddie shrugged and picked up his pen, "probably not even if his life depended on it."

Once Friday had finally rolled around, all the losers had decided to just meet Bill and Stanley at the drive-in, since there wasn't enough room to fit all of them in Bills car.

"Stan we g-gotta go, the others sh-should be arriving at the drive-in l-like any m-m-minute now," Bill sighed, shoving the car-keys into his pocket.

Stanley groaned and put his book down, "but you said you'd sit here with me until I finished this chapter."

"Yeah that's b-because I didn't know the chapter was g-going to be like f-f-fifty pages long," Bill walked over to Stanley and placed two hands on either side of his face before leaning in and pressing their lips together for a few seconds, "come on baby, who s-said we even have to watch the movie wh-when we g-get there? I'm sure the others w-won't notice if we l-leave for a little while.."
