The Town of Derry

Reuniting Pt.2

"Do you guys wanna come back to my place.. to celebrate the final hours of my birthday?" Stanley asked as we were all unlocked our bikes from the bike stand, I put my skateboard on the ground and sat on it while everyone was getting settled.

"Sure" "yea" said by everyone, head shakes and agreements. I smiled at Stanley and stood up, "how about a late night swim, I havnt been to the quarry since we all last went" Beverly asked, as she sat behind Bill on his bike.

"Oh yeah! That could be fun" Richie said as he jumped on his bike. I dropped my board onto the ground and felt a hand get placed on my shoulder "race" Stanley said as we all lined up.

"Well that's not fair, I'm on a board" I grinned at him, "go!" I yelled to catch him off place.

We raced from the fair to the pharmacy, Stanley and bill/Bev got there, then I did, followed by Ben.

"Did Richie and Eddie get lost?" I asked as I sat on the curb, "here they come" Bev said as they turned the corner.

"Booo" we chanted as they came to a stop. I stood back up and walked with my board while Bev walked beside me.

"I havnt had anything happen" she said, I nudged her to not mention the IT stuff today.

"Hey you boobs hurry up!" Richie yelled as they dropped their bikes at the quarry rock.

I sat onto the log and leaned my board on the tree beside all the bikes. Beverly sat next to me as the guys stripped down to their underpants. "Coming ladies?" Ben said turning around as they stood on the edge.

"Yeah in a minute, meet you guys down" Beverly said, they went one by one off the ledge.

"Ready?" I said smiling as we walked to the edge. We looked down at the guys, which we could hardly see due to the darkness, but we heard chatting and splashing.

"Laura Bev! Come on Pussies!" Richie yelled to us, I chuckled and jumped, Beverly went just after me.

The rest of the night was just us swimming, talking, goofing around.. like what we used to do.

It was around 12am when we gathered our stuff, and headed to Stanley's.

"So yeah you know, Eddie and I" Richie smiled at me, I smiled back as I stepped off my board and leaned it against Stanley's garage door. "And you and Stan the man" Beverly said, I saw Stan look back from giggling his door handle and smile.

"Yeah yeah, uh, am I the only one w-who realized Mike d-didn't make eye c-c-contact with us when we past him at the l-l-library earlier?" Billy said as we all took off our shoes, everyone shrugged.

"Hi Stanley hunny, did you have fun tonight- oh my hi everyone!" Stanley's mom said as she looked around at the rest of the losers. "Yeah mom, loads of fun" he hugged her, she looked at me and smiled "Stan won Shelly" I smiled showing her the stuffed turtle. She kissed Stanley's head, "goodnight everyone, don't stay up any later! Oh and Ben and Laura; your moms gone out of town for the week, so you both are staying here" She said as she went back upstairs to her bedroom.

I went into the kitchen and grabbed everyone a water, "of course" Ben said rolling his eyes as we went upstairs to Stanley's room.

We all gathered in his room and set up beds on the floor. "Where's my fuzzy socks" I asked digging through his drawer, "in my shirt drawer" he said, "why?" I slid on my pink fuzzy socks and wiggled my toes. "My mom moved the stuff you forgot here from around my room into the second drawer" he chuckled, I sat beside Bev who was at the end of the bed.

"I have one rule: no speaking of him" Stanley said as he switched his shirt into his pj one.

Everyone nodded in agreement.

"So you and Stanley started off as a lie to keep bowers off of you, and ended up-" Bev was cut off by Stanley "falling in love" he said smiling at her, I chuckled as Bev tackle hugged me.

"And how about you and rich Ed? Bev asked as she slid onto the floor beside them, "well that night, when we both needed up coming out? We just started talking more and more, and I guess I like the trash mouth" Eddie said trying to make a joke, "Oh admit it, you love me you germaphobe, except when I broke up with Eddies mom she tried to kill me; went psycho" Richie said as he kissed Eddies cheek.

I looked at Stanley and gave him a look that said 'I missed this' I crawled across the bed, and hugged him.
