Suck It Up (Mike Hanlon x Reader Fanfiction)

Chapter 21 (For Bev)

(Mike's pov)

I park my bike in front of Derry highschool. It's my first day and I'm scared shitless.

I grab onto my the straps of my backpack and look around for any of my friends. I spot Eddie and Richie at the front steps of the school. They seem to be arguing about something as I walk over to them.

"But I see it with my own eyes, Eddie. The way he looks at her.... What do they even do alone? I bet he's-" Richie almost yells, but stops immediately when he sees me.

"Hey, Mike!" Richie says, giving me a nervous smile and wave. I furrow my eyebrows in confusion and wave back. "Hey," I saw, stopping in front of them.

"What were you talking about?" I ask which makes Eddie let out an 'oof' sound. "Um..." he starts, rubbing the back of his neck.

"Bill and Bev!" Richie shouts quickly. They laugh nervously and Eddie nods. "They're all over each other!" Eddie says.

Richie points behind me to Bill and Stan. "Look! There's the lover boy himself!"

I scrunch my nose as Richie and Eddie walk around me and to our other friends. I can see right through them, but I don't know who they're talking about. I walk after them and greet Stan and Bill.

(Y/n's pov)

I smile slightly as the warm Autumn air pushes onto my face and through my hair. My hand rests on the door of the car as it slowly stops. I turn to who is driving.

"Thank you so much, Belch," I say before unbuckling my seat beat and grabbing my backpack. "No problem," He says and I get out of the car, closing the door behind me. I wave to Vic before walking off to the entrance of the school.

Belch and Vic offered a ride to me to school today and supposedly everyday. I do miss them a bit if I'm being honest. They have defiantly grown from shitting in kids' backpacks.

I spot my friends in the distant, staring at me, looking confused and shocked.

I smirk at them and grab onto the straps of my backpack. "They're not going to bother you guys anymore. They're just going to help me out a bit," I say.

Richie furrows his eyebrows. "So now that they're friend is in an asylum they're all nice?" he asked sarcastically. I nodded slightly and walked past them as the bell rang. "I guess so."

Mike walked next to me as we walked into the school. "Who do you have for first?" he asked. "Dr. Ekelson," I say, making him grin. "I do too."

I smirk softly before turning to everyone else. "Do any of you have Dr. Ekelson for first period?" I ask.

"I do," Bill said and walked next to us. Stanley stopped in his tracks, seeming to realize something. "Where is Ben?" he asked.

My eyes widen and I bite my lip. "Maybe he just couldn't find us?" Eddie suggests.

"Or h-he's late," Bill says which I nod at. The late bell rings and I curse lightly. Bill, Mike and I wave to Stan, Eddie and Richie before running off to Dr. Ekelson's class. We rush in and I look around to see who is in the class.
