Eddie rushed out of the dorm room as if his life depended on it, well it did. if he were to be late to his first class of the day his teacher would be less then pleased and that thought scared Eddie, not being a the top of his game.
he rushed down the hall before hitting into someone's shoulder, he gave an apologetic look as he halted in his tracks turning around to see the red-headed woman knock on his and his roommate's room. he gave her a wave before deciding now isn't the time to be distracted.
he stumbled to his seat pulling out the essentials and getting ready for the class to start, Eddie was always a good student, he never thought twice to raise his had to ask a question or even stay behind after class if he just couldn't grasp the concept of the lesson.
he sure was confident raising his hand high in order to answer his perfesser question. he studied extra hard and never stopped if it weren't for bill making him make food for him and Stanley.
he fumbled with his keys as he pulled out just the right one and jamming it into the door of the dorm room. he stepped in looking around and seeing the woman from this morning sitting facing bill on he couch, she had a perfect smile and very pretty eyes.
Eddie shut the door quitely not to ruin the conversation being held between the woman and his roommate, but non the less bills head shot up shooting a warm smile at Eddie as he hung up his coat on the wooden coatrack hung neatly on the wall near the door.
"h-hey Eddie! glad your back" Eddie turned smiling at him and the girl "stan still at work?" bill just nodded and turned back to the girl, "this is Beverly" Beverly waved at Eddie Eddie nodded "im Eddie" "oh I've heard a lot about you" she laughed.
Eddie made his was to sit on the beanbag to face them. "Really? I have heard too much about you, where did you guys meet?" Beverly looked at bill then back at Eddie. "well, bill is a friend of one of my roommates," she paused giving a half-smile, "just thought I would meet him"
Eddie nodded, he wanted to seem interested but he really couldn't, his eyes partially shut as he let out a yawn, "it was lovely meeting you Beverly but im going to go to sleep, goodnight bill" Eddie stood and Beverly quickly followed.
"it's my pleasure, and you can just call me Bev" Eddie nodded as Bev wrapped a lose are around Eddie giving him a nice hug. Eddie made his way into his room and into his neatly made bed. ready for the night to consume him at that very moment.
Eddie jolted awake due to a knock on his door, he groaned, "come in," he mumbled. bill walked in sheepishly. "Beverly invited her friends and we are gonna play board games, you should come out if you want to" Eddie sat up thinking it over for a second before nodding to bill.
bill smiled before leaving shutting the door behind him, Eddie got some sweatpants and t-shirt on and walked to the living room that held bill, stan, and bev. "who are these friends, Bev?" Eddie reached for a cup for some water.
"oh well we have a mike, he's very sweet and caring, ben, who is also very nice, hopeless romantic really, and Richie, a fucking child" Eddie furrowed his brows as his heart began to race, but he shook his head, deciding that it couldn't be the handsome boy at the party.
everyone was giggling there heads off as they sat if various places of the living room, Eddie on the bean bag, stan on the couch next to bev, and bill on the ground. the giggling stopped as a knock was heard from the front door, bill shot up running to the door to let bevs friends in.
a few people walked in, eddies heart picked up its pace like it was running from a vicious dog baring its teeth when he saw his curls, black raven curls, and stupid large glasses, Eddie sucked in a breath as he began to panic in his head, 'fuck it's him, it's really him and he's in my apartment fuck!' Eddie looked down as they all sat down.
"someone ordered a stripper?" that voice, hit Eddie like a brick wall, the voice that only last night whispered sweetly in his ear, his name. Richie, his fucking name. yet Eddie couldn't help to smile, he didn't want to see the boy again after the little dancing session, but he was glad,
he didn't want to be sure, but there was no denying the fact that Eddie face heated up and his eyes shined with excitement. "Richie shut up!" Eddie shook his head looking at the new three sitting on the floor.
"ok so everyone introduce yourselves, "im ben" ben was shy-looking, he looked scared. "im mike," said a boy with a nice warm inviting smile that was brighter than the sun. "im Richie" Eddie eyes everted to Richie as he smiled stupidly "but you should know that already, your mom loves having me over"
"shut up, im Bev but you all know that" "im Stanley" "im bill!" Eddie looked at Richie as he began to speak. "oh uh, im Eddie" richies eyes met eddies as Richie tilted his head, Eddie was certain he saw realization flash in richies eyes.
a smirk grew on his face and Eddie looked down at his uncontrollably shaking hands. 'that smirk that smirk that stupid Fucking smirk' Eddie thoughts washed over him, washing out the sound of any other commotion in the room.
Eddie couldn't do this so he fake yawned and parted himself from the group, saying excuses as he rushed into the room, last thing he heard fall from richies lips, "whats eddies number, just a question" Eddie scrambled to his bed curling in a ball, 'just a question? was bill going to expose me? is Richie going to text my number, fucking hell' Eddie fought a tiny war in his head until his eyes closed and he slipped into a nice dream.
