11. do not apologise

Eddie was nervous. He wanted to talk to Richie, apologize to him, and he still had his jacket, so he wanted to return it to him.

In the morning he went to school with Stanley who was in a surprisingly good mood, given the fact that it was Monday. Eddie guessed he was probably glad their group of friends had grown that much.

Eddie was supposed to have two classes before an AP Psych class with Richie, so he tried to think about what he would say to him. He still felt bad for what he had told him on Saturday when he got drunk, he felt really ashamed of how he had behaved.

At one point, he considered he wouldn't apologize at all so he wouldn't have to talk to him at all, but he knew he couldn't just leave it like that. He wasn't that kind of person.

When the time came and Eddie was supposed to have an AP Psych class, he still didn't know what to say to Richie, but he decided he would return the jacket he had tucked in his backpack first, and he would think of his apology after that.

Eddie entered the classroom and took a look around. Richie was sitting in the back of the classroom as he always did.

When Richie noticed that Eddie had entered the classroom, he smiled softly at him. Eddie didn't expect that, he thought Richie would be mad at him for what he had told him. He was so surprised by his reaction that he stopped walking and suddenly didn't know what to do.

Instead of going to Richie, returning his jacket, and apologizing, he went to sit down on his usual spot. Eddie cursed himself for not being brave enough to go to Richie, but he knew he would still have plenty of opportunities to do so. The lesson started a few minutes later and Eddie was still thinking about what he should do.

Eddie didn't turn around to look at Richie during the whole lesson, but he heard Richie talking and joking around. Mr. Carson warned Richie each time, but he never punished him for talking. Eddie thought that Richie probably didn't want to get an extra homework, so every time Mr. Carson warned him, he just stopped talking for a few minutes.

When the lesson was over, Eddie left the room among the first who left, but instead of going to the cafeteria, he stopped near the door of the classroom where he was waiting for Richie to come out of the door. Richie was taking his time because almost every other student had left and Richie still hasn't left the classroom.

After a while, Richie came out of the door with the teacher. Mr. Carson was talking to him about something as they were walking together, so Eddie reconsidered his options because he didn't want to interrupt them.

Eddie quickly decided he'd better leave and talk to Richie some other time. However, Richie saw Eddie standing there waiting for him, so he quickly told Mr. Carson something, and Mr. Carson left in the opposite direction than where Eddie was still standing.

When some time has passed, Richie was still standing in front of the classroom smirking at Eddie while Eddie was still awkwardly standing in the same place not knowing what to do. Instead of going to Richie, he started taking Richie's jacket out of his backpack. Then he went towards him and looked like he was about to faint.

''Hi Eds,'' Richie said with a smirk on his face and took a look at his own jacket that Eddie was holding in his hand.

"I couldn't give it to you on Saturday, so here you go... and thank you," Eddie blushed when he remembered and realized why Richie had lent him the jacket in the first place.

Richie was trying to take the jacket from him, and their fingers touched. It wasn't the first time Eddie has touched Richie's hand, but this time it was different.

It was as if electricity was flowing between the two and connecting them. At that moment, Eddie was completely red in the face while he was trying to find the right words to apologize to Richie for his behavior.
