Eddie
The last two weeks of summer passed by quick and soon it was time for school shopping.
The losers and I went to the mall to get our supplies and hang out on our last day of freedom. As we walked Richie stuck close to me and draped an arm over my shoulder.
It killed me inside to know that he had a prejudice against gays. And it killed me even more to have a huge crush on him. The losers, besides Richie, soon caught on to my little crush
Ben: I've gotta get some...socks...could you come with me Richie?
Richie: Sure
He walked off with Ben leaving Stan, Bill, Mike, Bev and I at the food court.
Bev: so tell us Eddie. How long were you gonna keep it a secret?
Eddie: what secret?
Bill: Don't p-play dumb...your c-crush on Richie...
Eddie: there is no crush.
Stan: but I think he likes you! He won't leave your side and is constantly touching you
Eddie: that doesn't mean anything! He's just a touchy guy...
Mike: so...you don't like him at all?
I blushed and sipped my soft drink
Eddie: maybe...but I think he's homophobic
Bev: why do you say that?
Eddie: he said he was raised to think that way. I think he's okay with me being gay but if he found out I had a crush on him he would disown our friendship
Stan: so it is a crush?
I sighed and tapped my finger on the table top
Eddie: Yeah, a huge, hopeless crush
Richie slid in the seat next to me and put his arm back over my shoulder
Richie: who's got a crush?
Bill: E-Eddie
I glared at Bill and he smirked
Richie: oh? Who's the lucky guy
I blushed under his gaze and fidgeted with my hands
Eddie: well....he's sweet, and funny but kinda dumb. and completely oblivious to the fact that I like him
Richie: name?
I shook my head and grinned
Eddie: no names, it doesn't matter anyways. he'll never like me back
Richie nodded and continued eating his nachos.
Bill: so Richie, d-doing any sports?
Richie: nah, sports aren't my thing.
Stan: Really? You look fit enough
Richie: that's because I fuck your mom every night
He burst out in laughter as Stan cringed. I held back a smile and slapped his arm
Mike: Did you do school activities at your old school?
Richie: Nope. Everyone there was an asshole so I kept my head down. But I heard Eddie here is soccer team captain?
Ben: Yep, he's a beast on the field
Bev: not to mention a school heart throb... all the girls and guys want him
