Oblivious~Reddie

Chpt 3~sleepover

After the question about the party in the bathroom, Eddie couldn't stop worrying. He was worrying about all the kind of things that could happen if he went, what if he got drunk and did something he would forever regret. He knew he was just overthinking but he needed to ask the others if they would actually be attending the party. Which was lucky for Eddie as in a couple hours, the whole losers club were going to be having their sleepover in Bill's basement.

The school day went by quickly, Eddie only had one class with Richie and Connor wasn't in that class so they both partnered. At lunch, Connor wasn't there. But Richie was. So that was cool. Every other lesson went by so quickly, although they were boring as hell. Eddie just daydreamed about whatever until he finally heard the bell for each lesson, apart from the lesson where he chatted the whole time with Richie.

The 2 hours went by quick, Eddie had just finished packing his things and was about to leave his house to go to Bills.

"Eddie bear, where are you off to in such a rush," called his mother from the living room. Eddie let out a sigh as he remained calm after hearing his mom's croaky, annoying voice.

"At Bill's house for the sleepover i always have on Fridays mommy," he called back.

"Oh right, remember to take all your pills and don't be back too late tomorrow. You know how much i worry, dear."

"Yes mommy, i know."

The old lady went back to face the tv as Eddie left his house before Sonia had anything else to say.

He rode for about 5 minutes until he finally reached Bill's house, he could hear some noice from indoors.

"Eddie, why s-sss-so late," stuttered Bill as he opened his door to see the small boy standing at his doorstep. "C-cuh-come in."

Eddie walked into the house, he always loved it here. It always smelt nice because of the candles that were always lit by Bill's mom, Sharon. Bill's house was also very tidy and neat. His parents started to tidy up the place after Georgie's death, Bill said that it made them feel better (mentally).

"So, you d-ddd-didn't tell me why y-yuh-you're so late-ee," Bill once again said as they both reached his basement. Richie and Bev were sat on the sofa as Ben, Mike and Stan were all sitting on the mattress laid across the floor.

"My mum, she always holds me up," Eddie replied. He dropped his bag on the floor as he sat next to Richie on the sofa, Bill took a seat next to Beverly.

"Obviously you sit there, Big Bill," joked Richie. This made a slight tint of pink scatter across Bill's cheek whereas Bev just let out a giggle.

"R-richie, can i s-ss-speak to you? Alone," asked Bill but it wasn't really a question for Richie to answer. Bill immediately grabbed the boys wrist and pulled him upstairs and closed the basement door behind them, Bill's parents were out like any other Friday night.

"What's up Bill, gotta boner?"

"What? N-nnn-no of course not!" Bill gave Richie a slight nudge. "Does B-b-bev know that i l-lll-like her?"

"Why you asking me?"

"Because you b-bb-both smoke t-tuh-together and cha-chat about like, everyth-thing," informed Bill. "I j-jjj-just don't know what to d-duh-do."

"You should make a move on her dude, she hasn't spoke to me about her feelings but she obviously likes you." Richie could be a jerk and had a big mouth but he cared about his friends, especially Bill after everything he had done for Richie.

"I c-ccc-can't just kiss her," screeched Bill.

"Chill dude, what about we play a game down there. It could be like spin the bottle or something. Ooo, maybe 7 minutes in heaven."

"I g-ggg-guess, but what if it d-duh-doesn't land on me and Be-Beverly."

"I've got a plan Bill, do you trust me?"

"Yes," Bill answered confidently. Richie didn't say anything more, he just walked back down to the basement with Bill following after him. Richie did have a plan, he wanted to help his friend.

"So lads, me and Big Bill have decided that we will play a game of 7 minutes in heaven. No chickening out," announced Richie as he flopped down on the mattress, pulling Bev and Eddie down with him.

"Bill, sit here," demanded Richie as he patted on the seat to the left of him. Bill took a seat as Richie rummaged through his bag to pull out a coke bottle.

Ben then asked "Richie, why are we playing this?"

"Yeah, it's a bit random," added Eddie.

"Just adds a bit of fun, who's playing then?" Richie looked around and saw them all nodding but not fully confident with their answer. "Actually scrap that, we're all playing. So each person is going to spin the bottle and whoever it lands on, they have to sit in the closet for 7 minutes with them. If they refuse, the person on their right has to choose who they need to do it with." Bill instantly clocked why Richie wanted him to sit on the left of it and a small smile formed on his face.

The whole group seemed to be fine with that idea and decided to play, not like Richie was giving them a chance.

"Okay, who's go first then," asked Mike.

"I'll go first," suggested Richie. "Then Bill, then Bev, then Ben, then Mike, then Stan and then Eddie." They all nodded their heads to show that they were all ready, and with that.. Richie began to spin the bottle to see who he was kind his 7 minutes in heaven with..
