At 7:56 I started walking to school, I only live a few blocks away and it was nice out. Once I got to the school I started looking around for Henry, about 15 minutes later I was about to give up but then I saw Henry walk into the school with Vic and belch. Henry had a cigarette in his mouth and they were all laughing at something. I tried encouraging myself "ok Stanley.. just do it..." there weren't too many people in the hallway but I honestly didn't care anyway. I walked straight over to Henry and without even saying anything I wrapped my arms around him. He's much taller than me so my head was on his chest. At first he tensed up, but then relaxed when he realized who it was. "Stanley?.." I saw Vic smirking at me. Henry kept his hands to the side for a moment and then hesitantly hugged me back. It was so nice.. like I didn't want to let go. Suddenly Henry pushed me away "wait what the fuck-.. dude people are staring..." I looked around and saw the many faces staring at us. I blushed and looked up at him, "I don't care who the fuck sees you needed a hug so I gave you one! And-... and-... fuck you for sending that dick pic! It was-.. hot but I did not ask to see that!.." I decided that was enough attention for me for the rest of my fucking life so I kept my head down and walked to my first period class. I heard a group of girls laughing as I walked by so I walked faster. Once I sat in my desk I felt my phone vibrate, I looked down at my phone and saw a message from Henry.

8:27 am

🥴Henry🥴

H: you thought it was hot?

*I laughed, out of everything he could have said first he said that*

S: shut up

H: you were right you didn't ask for it and I'm sorry, also that hug was really nice. Is there anything I can do to make it up to you?

S: you could apologize to me in person... a genuine.. apology, from the heart. Anddd buy me some weed. Then maybe I'll consider forgiving you for being a douche bag. <3 

H: bet

   Richie sat down next to me "who are you talking to? You're making the same face eddies mom made when I sent her a dick pic.." Eddie came up behind him "shut the fuck up Richie that's not funny at all.." I looked up at them and laughed, "beep beep Richie...." Richie reached for my phone, grabbing it right out of my hands, he held it close to his face and started reading. Me and Eddie tried grabbing it from him but it was too late. "What the fuck... Since when do you smoke weed? And who's Henry-.. no way.. no way! Holy shit stan you're getting boned by Henry bowers..?!" The rest of the class looked at us, my eyes widened "no I'm not! Ew-.. no... we just hung out like twice... and I started smoking yesterday!.. with Henry, Vic, and belch..." Eddie looked horrified, "what was Patrick not there?" I shook my head "apparently they kicked him out of the gang.." Richie looked confused "so they decided to replace him with you? No offense Stanley but you're kind of a loser.." we all laughed a bit. "They're not replacing him.. I just went there to hang out with Henry.. I know it's hard to believe but he's been so nice to me.. and I don't know.. maybe... nah I don't know.."

  Richie face palmed "I can't believe you have a crush on henry bowers, have I not taught you anything? You gotta go for the short, smart ones like Eddie over here, that means I'm bigger than him, therefore stronger and better in every way, also they gotta be smart so they can do your homework ya know? Like I said, whole reason me and Ed's are dating.." Eddie grabbed Richie's glasses and put them on "my names Richie and I think that just because I'm tall and stupid that I'm better than Eddie!" Richie squinted his eyes "hey I can't see give those back!" I laughed at them, they're so cute together. Richie got his glasses back and turned to me "wait a second-... you're the eddie in this situation, and Henry's like me.. he's stupid and tall and you're short and smart! That's the perfect combination for any successful relationship.." I just shook my head and looked down at my phone, I'm glad Richie didn't see that dick pic when he read the messages... that would have been really bad.
