"hey, spaghetti head!" richie yells, ruffling my hair.
"that's not my name, do you have the snacks?" i ask.
"yeah, let's head into bev's," richie orders.
once we get inside, we head to bev's room (which is also the basement.) saying hi to bev's aunt jackie on the way downstairs.
"bev, we're here!" richie shouts.
bev hugs us both, all of a sudden she pinches me.
"bev, what was that for?!" i ask.
bev holds her hands up in defense.
"yeah, bev!" richie shouts.
"jeez, it was an accident!"
once all off the losers get to bev's, we set up a mini fort, so we can watch movies. much to my demise, the losers' decide to watch poltergeist. i sit next to richie, so i could secretly cuddle into him every time there's a jump scare. about half way through the movie, richie subconsciencely puts his arm around me. i start to feel my face get hot, i look down at the floor, so no one notices. i know i have to tell bev and mike about my sexuality sometime, but it's scary. after we get bored of watching movies, we decide to make brownies. i miss richie's touch though, my feelings for richie are eating my insides. i need to tell someone or it'll end badly for me.
"hey, stan, can i talk to you alone?" i ask.
"yeah, what's up?" stan says, pulling me aside.
"i-i like richie," i stutter.
"eddie, it's so obvious, you should tell him!" stan whisper-yells.
"he's not even gay or bi," i state.
"i saw his arm around you," stan sasses.
maybe i would tell richie if i knew his sexuality. maybe i would, just maybe.
