8. crush

It was the third week in September and it was Monday once again.

The first thing that went through Eddie's mind that day was the memories of the time he had spent with Richie, Bev and Ben, especially, the ones with Richie. It was the first time he looked forward to seeing him at school.

Richie was still a person Eddie knew almost nothing about, however, he knew for sure that he wanted to find out what was hiding inside of him. He still wasn't sure what Richie wanted from him, but he had never experienced what he had experienced that day they had gone to Aladdin. It was magical and adventurous, and Eddie was once again confused about everything.

At the same time, Eddie didn't want to have his hopes up or think about something that might never happen. After all, Richie was a boy he'd only met two weeks ago, and he'd still mostly talked to Eddie in a strange way. Whether it was flirting or messing around, it was strange and confusing.

Eddie was supposed to have an AP Psych class with him on Monday. He didn't really want to go to him and talk to him. He was too shy for that, but he was wondering how Richie would treat him after they had danced together. Eddie was aware of the fact that his thoughts and views on Richie had changed completely in only one day, but he was too lost in his thoughts to think clearly.

Eddie also almost forgot about Henry, rather he didn't want to think about him at all. He didn't even want to know what was going to happen after Henry would see him in the classroom or in the hallway which Eddie knew would definitely happen at some point. He just hopped nothing bad would happen.

When Eddie took a quick shower, brushed his teeth and changed from his pajamas and headed for the kitchen for breakfast. His mother made him sandwiches for the breakfast and told him that she had to go to work earlier that day, so Eddie ate his breakfast alone, went to brush his teeth again, and went to school.

''We all have time off after school, so I was thinking... I'd like to introduce you to Ben, he's a really great guy, what do you think?'' Eddie asked the two boys when Eddie arrived together with Stan to school where they met Bill.

''Yeah sure,'' Stan said like it was not a big deal, in fact, it wasn't. ''I w-would like to meet him too, it's g-great idea,'' Bill replied with a smile on his face.

''So... as soon as we all finish, we'll meet up here... in front of the main entrance?'' Eddie asked again. ''Yes.'' Bill replied simply and Stan just nodded. Then they split up and walked to the classrooms where they were supposed to have their first classes of the day.

Eddie had History class with Ben first. He told him about his plan to meet up with Bill and Stan after school and introduce them to him, and Ben agreed and went along with the plan. Eddie could tell Ben was happy about it, little nervous but happy. He didn't have many friends, so he was grateful to Eddie. They also agreed to meet up the next day after school at Ben's house to finally start working on their project because the project was due next week.

When the History class with Ben ended, Eddie was supposed to have another class, and then the AP Psych class with Richie. The time was running pretty fast and Eddie just tried to stay focused on the subject.

When the AP Psych class was supposed to start, Eddie entered the classroom and most of the students were already seated. Eddie looked around the classroom. He especially eyed the back of the classroom to make sure Richie was there, but he hasn't been there yet. Eddie didn't hesitate and took a seat in the front, pulled out his things, and waited for Richie and the teacher to enter the classroom.

However, after a while, Mr. Carson entered the classroom, and the lesson started. Richie still hasn't shown up, but Eddie just thought he was probably late again like last time.
