On Wednesday when Eddie arrived to school with Stan, he saw Bill for the first time since the time Eddie, Bill, Richie and Mike were in the cafeteria together. He admitted to him that it hadn't been that bad to sit there with Richie after all, and Bill was happy about it.
After that brief conversation with Bill, something, Eddie had not expected, happened.
The class Eddie was supposed to have first was an AP English Literature and Composition class that he had chosen at the end of the junior year as well. Eddie had chosen it because he knew it would not be harder than the regular English class.
When Eddie entered the classroom, the first person he saw was Greta Bowie.
Greta stood in the back of the classroom leaning against one of the desks. She was wearing a very tight, bright pink dress and a denim jacket. Eddie could easily see her breasts peeking almost all the way out of her dress; however, it was clear that it was her intention. It was a terrible way to get attention from people, especially men, in Eddie's opinion, but she clearly didn't mind.
There was a boy standing in front of Greta who was staring at her when she was talking to him, and the boy was none other than Richie. Eddie really thought he would not have another class with Richie, but fate has brought them together once again.
Few second later, Eddie noticed that Bev was sitting at the desk right in front of Richie's desk. Beverly was giving Richie and Greta disgusted look while she was looking at them. They were clearly flirting with each other. Then she turned her whole body to the opposite direction.
When Beverly turned around, she noticed that Eddie had entered the classroom. She smiled at him, and pointed to a seat in front of her that was empty. At that moment, Richie noticed Eddie as well, and stopped staring at Greta who was still talking to him trying to get his attention.
Eddie wasn't happy that he was in class with Greta and Richie, but he was glad Bev was there. He didn't want to sit so close to Richie at first, but then he nodded, and headed towards the empty seat in front of Bev while Richie was still acting like he was listening to what Greta was telling him, but his eyes were on Eddie.
Before Eddie sat down, he had greeted Beverly, and she had greeted him enthusiastically back as well. Then he took out all the things he needed, turned his back to Beverly and Richie, and sat down.
After a moment, the class began, and Eddie noticed that Greta was heading back to her seat to the front of the classroom. When she came to her seat, she started talking to someone, who Eddie didn't know, while she was still glancing at the back of the classroom where Richie was.
When the teacher entered the classroom, she introduced herself as Mrs. Porthleigh, and started talking about the topics they were supposed to talk about that day.
Later when the class ended, Eddie realized that his assumptions were correct; the class didn't seem to be difficult. Eddie hadn't heard a word from Bev and Richie during the whole lesson, so he almost forgot they were sitting right behind him, so he simply got up, and left without a single glance at Bev or Richie.
Eddie knew it wasn't a nice thing to do to just run out of the classroom without even looking at them or talk to them, but he was shy and didn't even know how to approach Bev and there was no way he would talk to Richie willingly, so he did the same thing he did whenever he was in a classroom with Richie, he quickly left.
Eddie was planning to go to cafeteria that day, even though Bill, Stan and Ben weren't supposed to be there, he just hopped neither would Richie, so when the time for lunch break came, Eddie headed for the cafeteria. He entered the room and didn't see anyone, so he simply decided to go get his meal.
