summary | Hi! I absolutely love your work and was wondering if I could request a Richie x reader where the reader is the most popular person in school and secretly has a crush on Richie and like Rich not even thinking they knew he existed. It would mean the world to me tysm :))

>><<

Richie watched you from afar. You held your book in your hands as you talked with your friends, laughing at a joke one of them had just told. Richie loved that laugh so much. One day, he wanted to be the reason for you to let out that angelic laugh. He knew it was unlikely though.

You see, you were one of the most popular kids in school. Everyone knew who you were and everyone loved you. You were a very kind person who cared about the well-being of everything. I mean, even Henry had a soft spot for you. He still made sexual advances at you like every other person, but he was definitely less of an asshole.

This was why Richie knew he could never be with you. Why in the world would a person like you, perfect in every way, go for a guy like him, loud and foul-mouthed? It was impossible. Yet, it wasn't.

In fact, you had just about the biggest crush on him. You didn't talk to him but you often found him catching your eye. He was interesting, in a way. His crude jokes and vulgar personality were something you just found striking. It was seemingly odd but still the truth.

"Oh my God. That loser keeps staring at you, (Y/n)." One of your friends said as she rolled her eyes. You raised your eyebrows and turned in the direction she was looking.

"Who?" You asked, still searching for the culprit.

"That one... God, what's his name? Ugh, I don't know... I think they call him Bucky Beaver or something." She replied. You chewed on your lip.

"Wait, are you talking about Richie?" You asked. She scoffed.

"Oh come on (Y/n), you don't actually know his name, right?" She asked. You laughed quietly.

"Well of course I do. I have him in almost all of my classes." You replied. She sighed.

"Whatever. All I know is that he keeps staring at you and the bell is about to ring so I need to get to class. See ya later (Y/n)." She said. You muttered a quick bye and began to make your way to your math class.

"Listening in on your conversations yesterday disappointed me. You veered off-topic so instead of working with your shoulder partner, you'll be working with the people behind you. Row one works with row two and row three works with row four. Please, try to surprise me." Your teacher said. You laughed slightly before smiling. Richie sat in front of you. You leaned over and tapped him on the shoulder.

"I think that's means we're partners, Richie." You said. He turned his head and stared at you in awe.

"You... You know my name?" He asked. You couldn't help but laugh.

"I don't get why that's a surprise to everyone." You replied. He closed his open mouth.

"Well, you're like... The most popular person in school." He muttered. You scoffed.

"Just because a lot of people know who I am doesn't mean I just immediately ignore everyone who's not in my friend group. I'm not that much of a stuck-up bitch." You replied. His eyes widened.

"No. T-That's not what I was insinuating at all! A-All I meant was-"

"Relax, okay? I'm just another human. No more, no less." You interrupted. He swallowed and nodded.

"Right. Um... Shouldn't we talk about... Quadratic equations or something?" He asked. You laughed.

"Do you want to talk about quadratic equations?" You asked.

"Not really." He replied with a smile.

You laughed as Richie made another one of his stupid impressions. You knew you should've been discussing the math topic but it was Richie Tozier for God's sake. You couldn't take anything seriously with him around. Before you were even able to get out one word on what x equaled, the bell was already ringing. You began to gather your things and called out for Richie.

"Hey, I don't usually do this but... Maybe you wanted to go to the cinema with me this weekend?" You asked as you slung your bag over your shoulder. He immediately stopped what he was doing.

"Like... Like a date?" He asked. You shrugged.

"If that's what you want it to be, then yeah." You replied. He stared at you and you could feel the acid in your stomach beginning to churn. Maybe you had misread the situation.

"You don't have to, it was just-"

"No! No I-I want to! I actually really want to! Are you... Are you sure?" He asked. You laughed.

"Yes, I'm sure, Richie." You replied, beginning to walk out.

"Okay. I-I'll pick you up at five then!" He called out, smiling as he replayed your voice in his head.
