Richie's POV
A week after their love fight.
In the morning the Losers were all happy about the news of a new kid coming to town, I was especially happy though because I found out she was going to be in all my classes. I couldn't wait to find out what she would be like, I hoped she wouldn't be a dick like most the people in our school, but chance are she will be. As we all walked to school together (except Mike cause like school) we talk about what he want her to be like,
"I hope she's hot." Stan said as Bill gave him the most evil glare. "Not for me of course." he said blushing.
"Why not?" Ben asked still not knowing Stan was gay for Bill.
"I have my eyes on someone else." he said blushing as he held pinkies with Bill.
"Well I just hope she isn't a whore like Greta." Bev says with an attitude.
"Hey watch it, I dated her." I say jokingly.
"Exactly she's a whore, she fucked you for the money." she says laughing.
The others laugh along as we get closer to the school.
Silence entered our conversation as we approached the doors of the school, we all stop at the doors as if we don't know what to do until Bev has the balls to walk forward and opens the doors for us all. We all walk in hoping that the new girl will be exactly what we want. Once we get in the school we start to split up and go into our classes. Me and Bev walk together to first period and we stay silent the whole way there until we get to the classroom door.
"You ready?"
"Yea." I say lying.
I prepare myself for disappointment as we enter the classroom. The second we walk in I scan the room looking for any unfamiliar chicks but can't find any. I scan the classroom again checking every girl I see still with no success.
"Did you find her yet?" Bev asks while still scanning the room.
"No."
"She's probably not here yet." she says as she walks over to our usual corner.
I follow her over still destined to find the new girl searching the room over and over again but I don't see any new girl.
"You're probably right." I say to Bev who is now resting her head in her arms on top of the table.
I lay my head but then turn back to Bev to say something, but get distracted by someone sitting four seats away from her.
"Bev... the new girl is a boy." I say pointing to a boy wearing makeup with hazel brown hair and eyes. I scan his body and see him in an orange sweater and white jeans.
"Is he wearing mak-"
"Lets go say hi." I say getting up still staring at him.
"Yea... okay."
We slowly walk over to his seat and I say,
"Hi, I'm Richie... I... uh like your makeup; n-not in like a sarcastic way. I just uh yea, it l-looks good."
Fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck!
"I'm Nei-... I'm Noah." he says chuckling with a smile. "And thanks."
I nod staring at his very light glittery orange eye shadow.
"I'm Bev." I see her snickering as she says,
"Sorry about Richie, he gets weird around people he doesn't know."
Noah giggles and opens his mouth to speak, but I interrupt saying,
"Do you want to hang out with us later?"
"Um yea, I have to check with my moms but that seems fun." he says smiling.
"Cool... I'll show you our other friends next class."
"Okay." he says looking into my eyes.
"Oh you're in all my classes, so I'll help you around."
"Cool." he says blushing a little.
The teacher walks in and says,
"Everyone take a seat."
He waves at us as me and Bev walk back to our seats, but I pause,
"Do you want to sit with us?"
He stammers but then says,
"Yea sure." He picks his binder as I sit across from Bev and pull out a chair next to me.
Bev whispers to me,
"Do you like him?"
"Yea he's cool." I say watching him bundling his books.
"No like in a kinky way?!" she says whispering louder.
I instantly turn over to her. "No!"
"Good cause he's all mine." she says smiling full of herself.
"I think he's gay, and, plus you have Ben."
"So, and, me and Ben aren't dating yet. Plus you have Eddie."
"I know, I don't like him!" I say getting defensive but then quick as he comes over and sits next to me.
I give him a welcoming smile and he smirks back. I look over to Bev who is now staring at the side of his head in awe.
"Everyone we have a new student here today." the teacher says still looking around the class trying to find who he thought was a girl. "Um I can't find her, probably late, but, her name is-"
"I'm here!" Noah says interrupting him. He waves his hand at the teacher and the teacher stares at him confused then at his paper.
"Oh the paper said you were a girl." he says still confused.
"Yea it's wrong."
"Oh okay... so Nei-"
"My name is Noah."
"Oh... the paper says-"
"Yea I know, the paper is wrong." he says annoyed and embarrassed.
There's an awkward silence until the perfect teacher finally says,
"Okay, so, everyone welcome Noah into our school." he says while sitting.
I look around the classroom and see all the girls staring at him, some confused by his makeup and others love struck.
(A/N I try to picture him as Noah Schnapp but I just can't picture Noah with makeup so comment who you see him as, actor wise.)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I sit down at the Losers at lunch table looking around the lunch room for Noah. The Losers sitting at the table look at me confused.
"What's she like?" Stan asked, because he still hasn't seen him.
Before I could even answer Bill says,
"He's r-really h-hot." Stan turns over to Bill and Bill starts to turn red. "N-Not like that."
Confused Ben asks,
"Wait HE?"
"Yea." Bev says sitting down next to Ben.
"Guys be quiet I'm trying to look for him." I say searching the cafeteria.
I hear Bev giggling and say,
"Richie likes hi-"
"No I don't!" I say blushing but annoyed. "I'm just being friendly."
"Hey Richie." I hear a familiar voice say behind me.
I turn around and see Noah standing in front of me.
"H-Hey." I say in shock.
"Is it okay if I sit here?"
"Yea... yea, yeah of course." I say offering him the seat next to me.
He sits down at looks at the other Losers who are staring at him. He turns back to me and says,
"I texted my parents, they said it's okay for me to go with you guys today."
"Oh okay, cool." I say trying to calm myself.
I see him grab his stomach in pain and he groans.
"Are you okay?!"
"Yeah, yea. It's nothing."
"So who else will be there?" Noah asks try to look at both me and Bev.
"Everyone at this table." Bev answers.
"And also Mike but he's homeschooled." I say smiling.
"Cool." he says smiling and looking the other Losers who are all now talking except Bill who is still watching Noah.
Noah interrupts Ben and Stan's chat saying,
"Hey, I'm Noah." Ben looks at him examining his makeup.
"I'm Ben." he says with a gentle smile. "This is Stan."
"Hey Stan." he says smiling and waving.
Stan quickly waves and turns away from him trying to get Bens attention to talk.
"Can I get your number?" I ask Noah.
"Umm..." he says about to answer but I interrupt,
"To text you about later today."
"Oh, yea here." he says taking out a paper and he writes down his number and handing it to me.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I walk down to the basement quietly hoping to surprise Eddie because he didn't know it was a half-day. I slowly step over to the door. I twist the knob gently being careful not to make any sound, and I push the door open quickly and yell. I see Eddie squirm around the bed in his boxers terrified and making a cute squealing sound. I burst out laughing as he turns over to the door and sees me.
"Holy fuck, Richie you little... fuck." he says throwing a pillow at me.
I slap it away and make it hit the floor sliding. I reach over and grab his arm pulling him to me. He tugs away at first still mad, but after a couple of seconds he gives up and hugs me.
"Get dressed Eddie Bear, were going out with the Losers plus 1."
"Who's the plus one?" he says curious.
"Remember the new girl I said was coming today?"
"Oh yea, is she cool?"
"He."
"But you said new girl?"
"That's what the teachers said, but I guess the files were wrong."
"Oh okay." Eddie says with no emotion.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I park the car in the dirt and get out with Eddie. We walk over to the Quarry and I already see the Losers and Noah sitting by the rocks next to the edge. As we get closer the Losers see us to and I see Noah get up all excited and wave at me, I wave back and feel my face starting to get warm. As we get closer to them Noah starts to speak,
"Hi Richie." he says smiling at me.
"Hey." I say smiling back. Eddie looks at me confused and somewhat mad.
"Is that your little brother?"
Eddie scoffs. "No I'm his boyfriend you fucking prick."
I look down at Eddie but he turns away from me still looking at Noah.
Noah's smile fades away. "Oh I'm so sorry."
All the Losers behind Noah look at Eddie confused.
"I didn't mean to offend you, it's just Richie didn't tell me he had a boyfriend."
"Yea whatever." Eddie says scolding Noah.
"Eddie, please." I say looking down at him, but he still doesn't even look at me.
Bev tries to lighten the mood saying,
"Well how about we go swim?"
I'm not in the mood." Eddie says walking away from me towards a rock to sit.
"You guys can go, I might just stay here with Eddie." he says sitting on the floor next to the rock Eddies sitting on.
I shrug my shoulders and take off my shirt and jeans.
"See you Noah." I say smiling, then I purposely frown. "Bye Eddie."
I run over to the edge and hop over.
Eddie's POV
The other Losers start to join Richie and jump down into the water. I kinda feel bad for being a bitch to Noah but I don't think about it too much. I sit there with Noah next to my feet and we stay there in awkward silence until he says,
"How long have you guys been dating?"
"I don't know, the day before school started though."
"Cool so it's over a month now."
I smile thinking about that. "Yea... I guess so."
"Look Eddie I swear I didn't know Richie was taken, I swear I wouldn't have flirted with him if I did, I, really not that type of person."
I hesitate but then decide to tell the truth,
"Don't apologize, you didn't know it's Richie's fault. And plus I shouldn't have reacted like that, I was just jealous because you're so... yea you know."
He giggles. "Yea I know. Thanks. You guys are cute together though."
"Yea. Can I tell you something?"
"Yeah of course."
"I know it's normal for there to be problems in relationships, but I mean in the last month I've had to steal him from a bitchy white girl, then he got me high which I liked but still, then I ran away, and when I got back he forgave me but I found out he almost had sex with my friend and now he's all over you. I just... I just feel like the universe is trying to separate us... I mean I still love him so much, it's just we both haven't been making it easy to be together."
He takes a second to process everything then says,
"Damn that's a lot... but I mean you love him and he loves you, and fuck the universe love is all that you need."
I feel tears on my face and I wipe the, off trying not to make it obvious that I was crying.
Noah looks up at me since I hadn't responded and sees me crying.
"Awww Eddie don't cry." he says getting and he rubs my back.
"I'm not." I say trying to lie.
He smirks and wipes my face.
"Thank you so much. I just needed someone to remind me that." I say to Noah with a shaky voice.
"No problem." he says smiling.
I feel tears coming out again but this time I don't even know why this time. He leans down a bit to get on my level and hugs me and I hug him back.
"Fuck." Noah says pressing his fingers underneath his stomach.
"Look at this Patrick, two fagots hugging!" I hear Henry saying walking over to us.
"Noah, we have to go in the water."
"I can't."
"Noah we have to."
"I can't Eddie!"
I get off the rock and back away.
"Where you going faggy?" Patrick asks as he gets closer and pulls out a switch blade.
Henry approaches Noah who tries to run to me last second but Henry grabs him by the back of his shirt.
"I heard you've been running around with your little boyfriend." Patrick says putting the blade up against my shirt now.
I hear Henry yelling at Noah and look over to see Noah punch Henry in the face but Henry shoves him to the ground.
"Leave him alone!" I yell hoping Richie would hear me.
I try to pull away but all of a sudden I feel a sharp pain on the side of my stomach.
"I don't fuck around Eddie."
I look down and see Patrick's knife inside of me with blood slowly dripping onto his hand and all over my white shirt.
