Eddies Pov
At 12 Ben and I decided to leave our house and go to the clubhouse. Once we got there no one was there and then Beverly came in running with Richie right behind her. "I win!" She says struggling to breath

Last night:
"I'm gonna go outside anyone wanna join?" Bill raised his hand and followed Stanley outside.

I heard a faint snore and looked at the other losers until my eyes met Eddie sleeping. His head resting on the hammock while sitting up.

I pulled him and made room so he could put his head on my lap and I played with his hair. I don't like him, I do it to everyone. Stanley always falls asleep next to me, so I always play with his hair. I'm just a pretty good friend.

I look at his hands they're so small.!I touch them and they're ice cold. I grab both of his hands to warm them up, I feel my cheeks start to warm up. I let go of his hands and feel kinda weird, but I brush it off.

I don't like him we just met even if I did I wouldn't know if he liked boys

I thought. We all spoke quietly.

Finally Stanley and Bill come back inside laughing and we have to hush them. "O-oh s-s-sorry"
"Sorry" they both said and sat down.

About 30 minutes later Mike tells us it's about to rain so Beverly and Bill leave first, then Stanley and Mike, then Ben, Eddie and I. I put Eddie on my back,he's very warm.

His chin rests on my shoulder and wraps his arms around my neck.

Five minutes into waking he wakes up.

I explain what's going on and he falls back asleep.

It then started to rain so I put my Hawaiian shirt over his head after him telling me how many germs were on my shoes, I guessed he would probably say something about getting rained on.

Soon we got to Bens house and I say goodnight to him. I took his hoodie off because it was soaked and put my Hawaiian shirt over him.

It didn't get to wet it was his hoodie that was soaked. I didn't know what to do with his overalls so I unclipped them and left them on. I left a note for him to read once he woke up. And then left

After I took a shower I decided to change into something more comfortable, a yellow t-shirt and my red shorts I hope no one judges.
