His lips planted softly on mine before he walks away. Walking out of the front door.

Quickly the I change into my swim trunks. With it being Beverly's house, I don't have a shirt to wear.

Everyone leaves their stuff at whoever's house, knowing they might stay there overnight. It's been a "ritual" since everyone started to hang out.

"Fuck it." I grab Bill's white t-shirt. Meeting him out on the front porch.

"You waited?" "Yeah...didn't wanna leave you here." "Oh...okay."

I grab my phone out of my pocket. "Hey, Rich...Wait? What are you doing? Ah okay. Decent idea....yeah we're on the way. Shut up I swear Eddie." I hang up the phone rapidly.

"What's w-wrong?" "Eddies trying to drown Richie." "Is t-that all?" "Yeah...why?" He shrugs and continues to walk. We make it over to the quarry to find everyone splashing and laughing.

"Come on." He nods his head towards the edge, quickly sliding his shirt over his head. I slip mine off, we stand at the edge.

"Y-you jump..." "No, you." "Why don't you jump first? Are you scared?" "Are you?" "Yes..." he clenches my hand before taking a deep breath. Leaping moments after.

The indifference of the water picks at our skin. Coming up for air he doesn't let go. "Aw look at the couple." "We are n- shut up Richie..."

Richie tosses his head back, Eddie, of course, pushes him under. He comes back up, spitting a mouth full of water out, gasping also. We chuckle.
