"I Don't Need Help" //Reddie AU

11).Welp

*Eddies POV
*The next morning*
I never texted him. Why would I need to? He's a nobody to me. But now he's caused me to get in detention.

I lay in my bed, staring at the ceiling. This sucks, maybe I should just skip. No my mom will actually murder me. Maybe if I tell her that I helped kids do work in detention maybe she'll believe me?

Looking in my mirror I brush my teeth and comb my hair, always perfect. "Bye mommy." I kiss her and walk outside. I've always walked to school. By myself.

*Richies POV
"So he h-helped you?" Bill questions what happened yesterday. "Yeah pretty much." "You s-sh-should thank h-him." Bill taps my shoulder with the back of his hand. "Nah, I won't ever talk to him again, so what's the point?"

Bill and I walk into the hallways, soon meeting up with the rest of our friends. "Okay so he got detention for today..." Beverly admits. "Well that sucks for him." "He could've let you lay there and bleed Richie!" Stanley argues. "Welp, death is death." I shrug. I don't wanna die I just have a morbid sense of humor.
(Richie and I have a similar sense of humor and I say "death is death" all the time😂)

*Later that day.
Lunch time, my favorite. My friends and I sit at our table and talk. "You know that detention is during lunch right Richie?" "Yeah and?" I say grabbing a piece of fruit from Mikes plate. "So that Eddie kid is in detention right now, you know he's never been in detention right?" Ben states.

"Well that sucks for him." I'm honestly not in the mood to deal with this 'Eddie' kid right now.

*Time skip to the Next week bc I'm lazy :)*

*Eddies POV
My mom almost murdered me. "I can't believe my Eddie-bear got into detention!" She barks as she corners me. "I'm sorry mommy..." I slide down the wall, knowing she'll lock me in my room. "Now go to your room!"
It sounds like nothing, but she's not the woman you would wanna mess with. "Mommy I have to go to school..." "You're not going!" She yells louder and louder.

My head hangs low with dread. My eyes staying down. I'm still going to school no matter what. Opening my window, something I've never done. 6:45 The usual time I leave for school. I can make it.

Finally I hop down from my two story roof to a part of the house low enough I could jump down to. School, a place I can get away from everyone I hate. Or the person I try to hate.

*Later that day*
*Richies POV
In the middle of class I ask to go to the restroom. "Yes you may Mr. Tozier, hurry right back." The teacher smiles and I walk to my locker first. I left my phone in there, the only reason I wanted to get out of class.

"Here he is." Someone snickers. "Listen Bowers leave me alone." I look him in the eyes. I would rather not beat your ass again, I think. "No I'm not gonna fight you, he is." He laughs evilly. Patrick. Twice my size. "Listen man I don't want any trouble okay, you punched me first."

I made a valid point but that didn't get through Henry's thick skull. Patrick smiles and shows his teeth. He reaches in his pocket and pulls a knife out.

Welp time to die I guess.
