'shut it, tozier. i'm just trying to enjoy my summer without you flirting with me'
'i'm not flirting with you, i'm just being extra friendly to someone who is extra attractive'

december
it was a rainy day, me and richie were together at his house and it was pouring down
we were sitting on his couch in the living room while the goonies played on his tv
we weren't paying attention to it though
richie was spread across the sofa, his head in my lap
i was sitting on the corner of the couch and playing with his now-overgrown curls, he hasn't cut it in a while, his thick black curls spilled over my lap as I twirled a few strands at a time
he was looking at me, completely focused and fazed out, while smiling
after a few more minutes, his head shot up and he sat next to me on the couch,'victoria?'
'yeah, rich?' I answered him
the whole house was quiet, we were the only ones there; other than the dog he was pet-sitting for, he stood with his front paws on the edge of the couch while wagging his tail trying to get up to us
'so, there's this dance at the school..' he paused, waiting for my reaction
'the snowball?'
'yeah, I know it's cheesy and all; but do you maybe wanna, go with me?' he asked in suspense, not wanting me to turn down his answer
'of course, but what about steve?' I asked him
ever since we started dating, we've kept it a secret from steve
he would kill us if he found out,
i mean he did ban me from seeing him but that lasted about a day
sometimes it's been hard, with the occasional henry bowers threatening to tell, or even sophie;
but something both of them didn't know was that we actually were dating, and their teasing was useless
it was only me, richie, the losers club, and richie's mom that knew
i'm pretty sure the librarian that worked at derry library has an idea about it, since every monday and wednesday after school me and richie meet there and spend time with each other
richie sighed for a second,'i'm sure my mom could drive you' he smiled
i smiled back at him, and then continued,'I don't have a dress'
he bit the insides of his cheeks, and thought for a second
'i'm sure my mom will gladly go dress shopping with you'
'but I don't have enough money for a fancy dress'
'i'll pay'
'we both know I can't just take your money, but if you insist'
