IT IMAGINES AND PREFERENCES [COMPLETED]

QUARRY TALKS - R.T

y/n P.O.V

I rode my bike over to Beverly Marsh's house to meet her before we joined the losers at the quarry.

"Hey girl, ready to stun Richie?" she greeted me.

"Oh, shut up! He doesn't like me like that."

"Uh, huh" she replied unconvinced.

When we finally arrived, we found the losers having a loogie contest and arguing about who was going first. I chuckled lightly at the sight before me.

Bev and I shared a look and she shouted, "We'll go!"

We both stripped down to our undergarments and ran off the cliff to the water below. Once we resurfaced, all of the boys were jumping off one by one.

The afternoon was filled with laughter and me teasing Beverly about staring at Bill. When the fun was all over, we laid down on a big rock off to the side.

The boys mainly talked about what they were going to do for the rest of the weekend while Bev and I were sunbathing in front of them.

We lightly made conversation at some times but usually just listened to "Bust a Move" that played on the boombox.

"Pretty sure that Bill has been staring at you ever since you got here."

"Yeah, I could say the same to you with Richie."

I mumbled out an incoherent "shut up" and continued to tan. A little while later we heard the boys "oooooohing" at something.

Bev and I turned out heads just to be met with Richie blushing profusely and staring right at me.

He quickly told them to shut up and asked if I would like to take a walk with him cause he had something to say.

"You're not going to kill me are you?" I joked while we started into the woods. Richie only slightly laughed seeming out of it that made me nervous.

He suddenly stopped walking and turned towards me with his eyes clenched closed. He took a deep breath in and quickly said, "y/n, I like you a lot and don't know what to do. I know you probably don't like a trash mouth like me but that's okay and I hope we can still be friends."

"Richie are you serious? We can't stay friends after this."

His face fell immediately and started rambling again.

"Oh yeah yeah, of course, I get it. We should probably tell the others so they don't wonder why we aren't hanging out anymore because then it would be confusing and-"

"Richie, I like you too."

"Eddie will get upset cause you're like his favourite and was really rooting for us-"

"Richie, I like you."

"I mean everyone was but mainly Eddie and their telling Bev now-"

You grab his face to gain his attention as he was looking everywhere but you.

"Richie. I. like. you. too."

"Wow, are you sure?"

"Yeah, I said that we can't stay friends because I was hoping we could be more."

"Oh hell yeah, I would like that a lot."

"Good I would too."

Both of you heard cheering behind Richie and you pulled your hands away realising how close you were to each other. There stood the rest of the loser club.

"Aw man, you almost kissed," Ben complained making both of you blush profusely.

"You better not be all lovey-dovey around us now or make out in front of us."

"Bev!"
