"Knock knock" Stanley said as he stood at my bedroom door way, "enter" I said chuckling, as I sat writing in my journal. He sat on my bean bag chair and opened his book, "I saw mike" he said, I turned "oh yeah? How's he" I asked closing my journal and sitting on the floor in front of Stanley. "He's good, didn't seem to glad to see me, I do miss him" he explained, he flipped to a page in his book and turned it around to reveal a beautiful red bird.

"I want to see this one" he said smiling, "Stanley, you know it's not your fault we all stopped hanging out" I said, knowing he was trying to avoid everything, he shrugged.

"It's no ones fault" Ben said standing at the door, "agreed" I said, I crawled over to the bean bag chair and sat beside stan, looking at the book as he flipped through pages.

"Enjoying your birthday gift?" Ben asked to Stanley, Stan shook his head yes. I smiled at Ben, "how about we go to the fair tonight Stanie" I said standing up, and looking at Ben for him to come to.

And so we agreed, a night at the fair.

Richies pov:

I knocked on Eddies door.

"Hi Rich hunny, he's inside" his mom said as she opened the door wide enough for me to come in, I kicked off my shoes and ran down the hall to Eddies room.

"Spaghetti" I said smiling as he sat at his closet picking out an outfit, "trash mouth" he shot back.

"That's the gayest thing you've ever worn rich, take that shirt off" Eddie joked as he tugged on My pink Hawaiian button up. "Eddie I AM gay" I said trying to continued the joke.

"Yeah but if we run into the others, they will know we're" Eddie stopped as his mom walked by, "dating" I added as he shut the door, and smiling.

"And so what.. you know that's NOT the reason we all stopped hanging out" I explained as he stood up, he shrugged. "Let's just go and have fun, and if we do run into them, say hi" I said as he hugged me.

Laura's pov:
~ 12pm ~

"Stanley!" His mom yelled from the kitchen as we were about to leave, "yeah mom?" He shouted back as we leaned on the open door waiting for a response. "Here's some money, hunny, for you and Laura to have some food, and play games" his mom ran into the main room with some money, he hugged her.

"Make sure he wins a big prize for you!" His mom yelled at me as we walked out, "will do mrs.Uris" I smiled as we turned around to leave.

"Love your mom" I said as he grabbed his bike, "yeah shes fun" he smiled as he watched me grab my skateboard.

We got to the fair and he locked his bike up, I leaned my Board through the bars and locked the wheels to his bike, "shall we" he said reaching his hand out, "we shall" I said as I took his hand, walking up behind Ben.

"Benny boy" Stanley said as he jumped onto Bens back tackling him into a hug. "Come come" Ben said as he pulled us towards a pulled pork truck, "guess were eating first" I laughed, following Ben to the line.

We sat at a picnic table in the far back, away from the main area, "see any of the losers" Ben asked, I cringed that he still called everyone that.

"Not yet.." I said, I Untied my low pony tail and began braiding it, "I think that's Bev there" Stan said quietly, as she walked over to us.

"Hey" she said standing there "hey Bev" I smiled as I began to braid the other side of my head. "Sit Beverly" Ben insisted, I moved over to Stanley's lap to make room for her to sit down.

"Long uh, time" she said smiling, "yeah" Ben said, it was quiet till I heard a stuttering bill behind us talking to his mom.

"Is that billy!" Ben yelled as he stood up waving.

"So much for just us" Stanley said as he put the hair tie in my braid, I shrugged. He is kind of right, it was suppose to be just Ben, him and I.

"H-hey!" Billy said, I smiled at him and proceeded to look down at my food.
"How are you g-guys?" Billy asked as Ben made him sit down. "Great" I answered. I stood up and looked at Stan for him to follow me, "going to go get a drink, we will be back" Stanley said, knowing I'm upset Ben keeps adding people.

"The fairs on all weekend laura, we can ditch them today and hangout with them a different day here" Stanley said as I stood in line for a lemonade, "no you guys can't do that" I heard Eddie day from behind us, "damn well scared the shit outta me Eddie!" I said, smiling at Richie who was beside Eddie.

"Hi" he chuckled, "you can't ditch us" Eddie said as I hugged him, "I just, I mean, it was suppose to be just Ben, Myself and Laur, but Ben keeps finding all the losers club and inviting them" Stanley explained, "that's not right" Richie said, I agreed with him.

"Well well"
