•Eddies POV•

"Okay, so we all agree to meet at the quarry at 4:30 right?" Bev asks, hoping we all will say Yes. We all nod our heads and say bye or see ya later. I walk to my first period with Richie and before I know it, school is over.

•3:15•

I hop off my bike and lean it up against the fence. Walking up the stairs, I remember That I still have to tell my mom about the trip. ugh. I open the front door and look into the living room. I see my mom relaxing on her chair as always."Mommy, I need to tell you something." I say as I walk into the living room. While still looking at the tv, she responds with, "What's wrong Eddie bear?" I stay by the entrance to the living room and sigh. "I-I'm going on a trip with the school for a month." I finally told her. She slowly looks in my direction and says, "Eddie bear, you can't go." "But-"
"Edward Kasprak." She says with a stern voice which makes me shiver since she's never done that before. "You will not go." I somehow muster up the courage to shout at her. "I am going!" she looks a little taken back by that but before she could respond I run upstairs to my bedroom and lock my door. That was scary, but I'm glad I did it. I walk to my bed and I lay down on it. I think I'll take a short nap.

•Richies POV, 4:15•

After I finish a cigarette, I look at the clock a freakout. Shit, I've only got 15 minutes. I instantly run to my closet and grab clothes. I quickly get dressed into a white shirt with a Blue Hawaiian shirt to go with it. I grab some black pants, put them on, slip on my black sneakers and then I'm out of the house. I hop on my bike and head to the quarry.

•4:38•

I finally make it to the quarry after speed peddling. Geez, I'm out of breath. "Took you long enough Tozier, " Bev starts to say, "Thought you were gonna go pussy on us for a sec" I snicker. "Like I'd ever go pussy on you guys." I take off my clothes (leaving my in my boxers) and ran and jumped off the edge. Everyone else follows after me. We splash around for a bit and apparently Bill found a turtle, but I don't believe him. After 30 minutes we decide to head back up and chill out by the rocks. I forgot to bring my radio today so we all agreed to play games instead. I sit in the middle of Stan and Eddie, Bill sits next to Stan, Mike sits next to Bill and Ben Sits next to Mike with Beverly next to him and she's also next to Eddie. "Okay ill start, " Mike begins, "Bill, Truth or Dare." He thought for a second. "Truth," he replies. Mike tries to think of a truth but Beverly gets an idea first. "Do you have a crush." Bill blushes. "U-um ye.." he answers shyly. It's probably Bev, right? "O-okay um, Eddie truth or-r d-d-dare." He stutters.

•Stans POV•

His stutters are cute.

back to Richies•

"Truth," Eddie replies confidently. I nudge him with my elbow which probably hurt him. "Oo~ ya got some confidence Eds~" "Don't call me Eds!" he shouts while rubbing his upper arm. "Have y-you ever k-kissed any-one." he thinks for a moment then simply states "No." we continue the game for a while until Mike brings up the trip. "It'll be lonely here without you guys," Mike admits and everyone's faces turn to sad ones. "We'll miss you too Mikey," I say, and we bring each other in for a group hug. We decide to spend the rest of the day together until night falls.

•The next day•

Today will be boring since everyone's busy packing for Monday so, I go to the arcade. When I walk in, I notice someone else already there. He had curly blond hair and blue eyes. I walk up to him and saw that he won the game. He's good. "Erm hi, " he turns to me, " I'm Richie and I wanted to play street fighter but you're on it so how about we play a game together?" He smiles at me "Sure. I'm Connor by the way." I put in my token and we play.

•*•

" you're Fucking good." he says. We high five (idk that thing they did with their hands) and we accidentally hold hands for a split second. "Well I gotta go." he says as he turns around. "Hey um.." I stumble to get the token. "how about we go again? Play some more you know. Only If you want to." we hear some noise in the back and he turns around and then turns back to face me. "why are you being weird, I'm not your fucking boyfriend." I stutter on my words, hurt a bit "Oh, I-i-i didn't-" Just then Henry bowers interrupts me, " The fucks going on here?" Connor answers him "You assholes didn't tell me your town was full of little fairies." I don't speak at all. Henry walks over to me. " Richie fuckin Tozier?" he pauses "wait, your trying to bone my little cousin?" Wait...his cousin? Connors Henry's cousin!? "The fuck out here faggot!" he screams at me. Everyone's looking at me. I don't like this sort of attention. I look at everyone while walking backwards, speechless. "Fucking move!" He screams again. I walk faster, open the door and start to run. Fuck... I'm crying. Tears start to run down my face as I run towards my house. I can't wait for Monday...
