Oblivious~Reddie

Chpt 38~the plan

Friday at school was just like the recent ones. Eddie was ignoring Richie, Stan and Richie chat about their plan, the losers sat at their lunch table while Eddie sat alone in the library.

Stan and Richie all explained their plan at the sleepover to the losers at lunch, they didn't want any of them to let out to Eddie that Richie was gonna be there. They didn't want Eddie to change his mind before he got to the sleepover.

*knock knock*

Bill opened the door to see Eddie standing patiently on the door stop. "Hey Eddie, everyone's already h-hh-here."

Eddie walked in and Bill closed the door behind him. They were planning on stopping him from leaving once he saw Richie.

"They're all d-ddd-down in the b-buh-basement," Bill stuttered.

"Okay, cool."

The two of them made their way down and Eddie instantly saw the losers. But he didn't notice Richie sitting on the far corner. In fact, Eddie was now looking on the floor at bottles of alchohol.

"Uh- guys. Why is there alchohol here?" Eddie asked so innocently, Richie found it adorable.

"We were able to get hold of some," Bev replied. "We're gonna get wasted mannn."

"Do i have to?"

"You done it at a party in front of a bunch of random people, this is the same but you're just in front of your best friends," Stan remarked.

"I guess.."

"Cmon man, live a little," Richie spoke loudly.

Eddie quickly whipped his head to face Richie, his eyebrows were raised and his mouth was in an 'o' shape. "You told me he wasn't gonna be here," Eddie annoyingly said to Stan.

"He changed his mind," Stan shrugged. Eddie turned his head behind him to where the stairs were to leave the basement, but Bill was standing in the way. "You can j-jjjj-just ignore him E-eddie, please? F-fuh-for me," begged Bill.

Eddie loved Bill, he was like an older brother to him. He was always there for Eddie and he felt like he should return the favour. "Fine."

Bill walked over to where the others were sitting, he took a seat next to Stan whereas Eddie took a seat on the sofa. Richie got up from the far corner and sat next to Eddie on the sofa, in which Eddie sighed.

"Hiya Eds," Richie whispered, in hope that Eddie would respond. He didn't though, Eddie just looked at him and shot him a second forced smile before turning back to the tv.

Richie let out a huff and turned back to the tv. "Ithink it's time we start to drink the alchohol not gonna lie my dudes." The group all turned to look at Richie.

"Sure," Mike replied. Agreements came from all of the losers apart from Bev.

"Bev? It's time i think," Richie asked Beverly as he turned her way. She gave him a smirk and nodded in agreement, she knew that Richie was ready for the plan.

[earlier at lunch]

Beverly, Ben, Richie, Bill, Stan and Mike were all sat on their lunch table earlier that day. Eddie was nowhere to be seen like the other recent days so Stan and Richie had the opportunity to tell the others about the plan.

"So my jolly fellos," Richie spoke up which got all the attention from the losers. "Me and Stan have a plan for tonight's sleepover."

They all shot him a questioning look.

"A plan? What for," questioned Ben.

"It's about Eddie," Stan added.

"Has it got to do with him ignoring us all? Because if so, that makes sense," Mike spoke before taking a bite of his sandwich.

"Mhm," Richie replied. "And he's not ignoring you all, it's about me. But i didn't do anything wrong, the only reason that he's coming to the sleepover tonight is because he thinks i'm not coming."

The group stopped to think for a moment before Bill broke the silence. "W-what's the plan th-then?"

"Lunch ends soon, so make it quick boys," Bev added. "Me and Ben cannot be late to geo." Ben gave her a smile before turning back to wait for Stan and Richie to explain.

"Stan can explain, i can't be bothered to say all of it," Richie insisted.

"That's the first," Bev joked. She received a smirk from Richie before they all turned to wait for Stan to explain.

"So i told Eddie that Richie wouldn't be at the sleepover, he agreed to coming. So before i carry on, you guys need to promise not to tell Eddie." The group all nodded and agreed to not telling Eddie. "Okay good," Stan carried on. "We could get Eddie to speak to Richie by-"

"Getting him drunk!" Stan gave a glare to Richie for cutting him off, although he just rolled his eyes and waited for the others to say what they think about it.

"Could we get drunk too?" Questioned Bev.

"Of course you'd ask that," Richie laughed.

"We can all get a little drunk but make sure Eddie gets drunk enough that he'll speak to Richie, although there's one thing," Stan explained.

"W-www-whats the one thing?"

"One of us needs to stay sober as well as Richie to make sure that Eddie ends up in the closet." Their mouths all made a 'o' shape and they all began to look around to see who would want to stay sober.

"I'll stay sober," Mike offered.

"You sure Mikey," Richie asked.

"Yeah, i've got to go to the farm early tomorrow anyways. It'll be fine." They all smiled and thanked Mike.

"What do i need to do exactly," Mike them asked.

"Well Mikey.. You just need to get Eddie in the closet and i'll follow after him. You need to them lock the door and wait for me to signal you to unlock it," Richie explained.

"You'll he looked in a closet together.. Hm i guess i could make that work."

"Love you Mikey, i'll return the favour some time," Richie spoke as he gave him a soft punch on the shoulder.

"Alright.. I can g-ggg-get some alchohol f-ff-from my kitchen," Bill then added.

"Great, i'm excited," Bev squealed.

"Mhm, same," Ben added. Of course Ben would agree with her.

[previous time]

"Alright then, let's start to drink," announced Stan.
