It was 5:30pm and Richie not gotten ready, mentally or physically for this "girl style" sleepover. He had no idea what "girl style" meant and what they would do for this but he was certain he wouldn't like it. Bev said she would bring everything needed for it to be a "proper" girl's slumber party, boy did that shake Richie up, he had no idea what the he'll she was planning to do to them.

Richie still needed to pack his bags and ride his bike to Bill's house, it was only a ten minute journey. So he had 20 minutes to get his shit together and stop thinking about what could go wrong.

He grabbed his backpack that still had a few miscellaneous papers from when he dumped his school work out of the bag yesterday. He scattered the papers as he rushed to get his shit together. Richie grabbed shorts and some sweatpants along with one of his tacky Hawaiian shirts and a rainbow striped t-shirt to put under that. He also grabbed a little book he would write in when he was having a rough time thinking clearly.

He heads out the door, now taking his time to ride his bike to the location of the slumber party seeing that he packed so quickly.

At Bill's house, everyone started to worry about Richie, as it was 10 minutes past the time the group agreed upon. Beverly was sitting next to Eddie on the couch trying to make sure he wasn't worried about Richie too much.

"Beverly! I told you that I'm fine! could you pleeeaaasse stop asking!" Eddie snapped at Beverly as she had continued to repeat the question of if he was ok. "And he's always late to shit, last time I was at his house the clocks were off and I doubt that problem was ever fixed." He trailed off mumbling to himself "those shitty ass fucking parents don't know how nice their child is. Its fucking stupid.."

"What was that? I didn't hear the last parts." Bev said after she moved closer to Ben, farther from Eddie.

"Huh? Oh... nothing I was just talking to myself." At that exact moment, Stan's little muffin slipped out of his hand and onto the floor. Stan picked it back up and shoved it into his mouth. "Stanley what the hell is wrong with you! Do you have any idea what could've been on that floor? How many shoes that walked through dog piss and stepped in that exact spot? It is absolutely dis-" The door opens and everyone turns to see Richie 15 minutes late.

"Why is everyone looking at me?" no sooner than he closes his mouth does he open it back up "Wait what time is it? I knew mom never fixed the clock."

"Yeah Richie you're like 15 minutes late" Ben said, but he wasn't annoyed.

"Sorry guys.." He puts his bookbag down on the ground as he sits next to it.

"Its ok you made it up to us by stopping Eddie's rant about how I picked a muffin off the floor and ate it." Stan defended Richie since he knew no one wanted to hear Eddie rant for the 5th time that evening.

"Ok beV WHAT DO WE START WITH?" Richie yells for no apparent reason.

Beverly meets his volume, but trailing off "WELL WE SHOULD GEt changed into pajamas don't ya think?"

"That makes sense" the group goes into the bathroom one by one to get changed, the last being Richie, who comes out wearing only some gray sweatpants. "Bill I forgot a shirt can I use one of yours?"

"I j-j-j-j-just sleep in shorts s-sorry du-dude" Bill replied with Stanley sitting next to him, almost drooling as he stares at Bill. Richie rolls his eyes and sees Eddie starring at him.

Richie winks at Eddie as the smaller boys face goes red "Ok 1st I'm still not gay but daaamn," he gets a laugh from the entire group, "and 2nd how the fuck do you just forget a shirt!"

"I was rushing so I wouldn't have to peddle my ass off to get here, ok? Even though that failed." Richie replies, not even phased by the first words that came out of his best friend's mouth.
