I was on my way home.. something was different between me and Richie.. He was unusual.. quiet..
My face was still red.. completely red. I didn't just blush, my face turned into a strawberry.
"Did he really..? He didn't.. But I heard him.. He definitely called me that. But he called me such things every day.." I was thinking.
I understood that I had a crush on Richie.. To be honest.. I've known it for years but today I told straight to myself that it's true.
"I have to tell him"
"but he'll never like you back"
"I know.. but-"
"it could destroy your friendship"
"I know bu-"
"No 'buts' Eddie, imagine what mum would say about the fact that you are crushing on a boy.. don't ignore the fact that it is the only of your friends your mother does not like"
I literally had a discussion with myself about that.. I couldn't tell him. That was clear..
I walked the way along until I got home. I opened the door. My mum wasn't at home, she was in Philadelphia for a few weeks because her mother got sick.
Eddie who was almost 17 stayed at home.
Eddie toed off his shoes and jumped on his couch. He got 4 hours left until he had to go to Richie's for the weekly movie nights at one of the loser's houses. Every Friday night they meet up and watch movies. It's always great!
"See ya at the movie night Eds ;)" said the text message from Richie I got 2 minutes ago
"I told you not to call me that!"
"3"
I smiled into my phone..
