*short chapter*
"Don't worry I'm fine...you were just holding his hand," I whisper the last part and start putting food in my mouth.

"Huh?" He raises a brow. "'Nothing...I didn't say anything." I pick at my food, he sighs. "Babe tell m-me." He whispers.

"I'm fine...I promise. Nothing to worry about." I smile and put my hand on his.

"D-do you um...wanna c-come hang o-o-o-out...shit!" I grip his hand. "It's fine...sure." He smiles brightly, his cheeks turning a bit red.

Richie smiles, surprisingly staying silent. "R-Richie? Can we talk?" Eddie sniffles as tears run down his cheeks quickly.

"Oh my god, Eddie come here." The two stand up and walk out of the cafeteria.

*Later that day*
Bill stands outside fumbling with his phone, typing something. "Hey, Bill." I smile slightly. He tenses up, locking his phone. "Hey...l-let's go." I grab his hand and start to walk.

Why am I holding his hand? I don't know...do I enjoy it? Kind of.
