Eddie laced his fingers with Richie's as they wandered down the beach, tears burning in the corners of his eyes.

"I'm going back to California tomorrow." he whispered, "Richie what if I never see you again?"

Richie turned to face him, taking both of Eddie's hands in his, "Don't talk like that. We'll find a way. We'll call and we'll write." he ran a hand through Eddie's hair.

Eddie blushed, unable to stop the tears from falling, "I want to fall in love with you. I'm scared that I'll never get the chance." he looked up at Richie, who took his face in his hands.

"Eddie...I want to fall in love with you too. And no matter what happens, I promise that I will never forget you." He leaned down, kissing him as waves crashed in the distance.

***1 week later***

Richie's alarm went off and he groaned. The first day of senior year, and he already couldn't wait for winter break. He pulled himself out of bed, running a hand through his messy hair. He got dressed, pulling on his black leather jacket and giving himself a once-over in the mirror. He grinned, grabbing his backpack and heading off to school.

His best friend, Bill Denbrough met him in the parking lot. Bill threw an arm over his shoulder as they headed into school.

"How was you s-summer Tozier?"

Richie smirked, "Eventful." he opened his locker and put his books inside, "I'll tell you about it at lunch."

Ben and Mike came up behind them.

Mike grinned, "Aw come on Toizer. Spill the details. We wanna hear all about this new guy."

Ben nodded enthusiastically.

Richie rolled his eyes, "Patience boys. All good things to those who wait." he ruffled Ben's hair as they headed off to class.

Eddie shifted, nervously playing with the hem of his yellow sweater. He took a deep breath and headed into the front office. His first day at Derry High School and he was already lost and late. He looked around the office, waiting for the woman behind the computer to notice him.

He coughed softly, "Um...Excuse me, ma'am?"

She looked up, "Oh I'm so sorry dear. What can I help you with?"

Eddie stood on his tiptoes so he could see her nameplate "I'm sorry to bother you, Ms. Williams. My name is Edward Kaspbrak. I'm a transfer student. I just moved here. I need my class schedule." he smiled politely.

Ms. Williams smiled, "Oh of course. Aren't you polite? I'll go print it off for you." She got up from her desk and walked to the back printer, as a girl with bright red hair walked into the office.

"Sup Ms.W? Can I get a late pass? My ride was late dropping me off." she grinned.

Ms. Williams turned to look over her shoulder, "Late on the first day Ms. Marsh. Not the best start of the year." she came back and handing Eddie his schedule and a pink paper to the girl with the red hair, "Oh will you show Mr. Kaspbrak to class? You're in the same homeroom."
