14. tongue is the strongest muscle

The whole week at school before Bill's party was not really special. Eddie and his friends finally received their results from SAT exam they had taken one month ago, so when Eddie was having lunch with Bev and Ben on Monday, they were spending the whole time talking to Eddie about their results.

The two wanted to go to college. Ben was very smart, he had gotten almost as many points as Eddie, and Beverly was very determined, so when they were telling him about their results, he was not surprised that they were good.

After the free period, Eddie was supposed to have a Chemistry class with Dorsey and Henry. He was still wondering if it was Dorsey who had sent him the letters, but he subconsciously wanted it to be Richie, however, he would have never admitted it to himself.

Eddie hadn't received another letter until Thursday. He had expected to find something in either the locker or the notebook again at the start of the week, but he hadn't found anything, so he was starting to think that the person who had left the letters for him would not send him another one, but just when he opened the locker on Thursday after he was done with the classes, he finally found another one. He opened it as soon as he saw it, and started reading:

Here I am, I'm looking out my window
I'm dreaming about you
Can't let go, at six o'clock in the morning
I feel you beside me

I need you now
More than the words can say
I need you now
I've got to find a way
I need you now
Before I lose my mind
I need you now

Eddie couldn't tell if it was from Richie, Dorsey or someone else, but he was touched by the lyrics once again, however, he was nervous about it as well; he felt butterflies in his stomach, so he put the letter in his backpack without hesitation, and headed out from school.

Stan went to a meeting with his club that day, so Eddie had time to think while he was walking home. He didn't know what to do. He was wondering if he should ask Richie about it, but he wasn't brave enough to do it, and even though he tried to figure out from whom the letters were, he still wasn't sure.

In the end, Eddie decided to wait for his secret admirer's next move. After all, Richie and Eddie were supposed to spend the weekend at Bill's house, so he hoped that if it was Richie, he would do something about it. In case Richie would not do anything, then Eddie would have to assume that someone else has been giving them to him.

On Friday, Bill told everyone when should they come and what to bring to his house for the weekend. Beverly also handed everyone their finished costumes that day, and Eddie could tell she was very excited about the whole thing. He was more nervous than anything.

Later when Eddie was at home with his mother, he told her that he would not be home for Halloween, but she didn't like that. She didn't mind when Eddie was spending time with Bill, but she wanted to spend Halloween with his son.

Eddie later managed to talk her out of it because he wanted to enjoy the last year he had with his friends which was true.

After that, Eddie went to wrap a present he had for Bill, and then he went to complete his homework for school while he was thinking about what would happen on the weekend. He even tried to put on his costume to see what it looked like, and he loved the costume.

Beverly was really good at what she was doing with clothes. Eddie thought she should work as a fashion designer in the future, but he had no idea what she wanted to do. All he knew was that she and Ben wanted, just like Bill and Stan, go to college; however, he wasn't so sure about Richie and Mike because they have never talked to him about it.
