Bev and I walk down the street and eventually the school comes into view. My heart throbs with excitement, while Bev shudders next to me. I glance down at my schedule.

Maybe I'll have some classes with Eds.

As my eyes drift back up, there stands Bill Denbrough, who seems to have grown even taller, alone by the bike rack. I gasp in excitement and immediately sprint towards the boy. Bev laughs behind me, containing her excitement and watching as I run towards him.

"Bill!" I call, he turns to me and smiles.

As I reach him, I tackle him in a tight hug. He stumbles back and chuckles, hugging me back. A sigh of relief leaves his lips. Happiness radiates off me as I pull back and grin at him.

"H-Hey Ally.." he smiles.

"Hey Big Bill, I missed you a lot." I say, grinning widely. Bev walks up from behind me and hugs him tightly. He returns the hug with a large blush.

The sound of someone clearing their throat causes me to turn around.

There stands Stan, who gives an awkward wave. He gasps in surprise when I sling myself into his arms. "Stany!!! I missed you like crazy!" He laughs and hugs back. "I missed you too."

"Where's my hug?" Richie asks from beside him, smirking.

I roll my eyes in response and give him a short side hug. Only he wraps both arms securely around my waist, forcing me into a hug. Then, sneaks in a kiss on my cheek causing me to let out a loud groan and pry him off me. "Get off Richie!" I shout, but he won't budge.

"No bra?" He asks. I can almost hear his smirk.

My cheeks heat up, and I push him off me. "Get off you perv!" Stan flicks the trashmouths arm, and I flip him off. He only laughs in response. One by one everyone shows up, even Mike, which everyone is surprised to see. Yet, Eddie is no where to be found.

A frown rests on my face as I look around at all the groups of kids, searching for him.

"He'll show, just be patient." Mike tells me, noticing my frown and wondering eyes. I nod slowly, still frowning. Not seeing him for a whole week was lonely, even with Bev around.

Finally, I see a familiar figure walking towards us. Warmth runs through me as I excitedly begin to bounce. There was no mistaking those dirty converse and fanny pack. Excitedly, I run towards the boy, tackling him in a hug.

Eddie stumbles back, laughing and wrapping his arms around my waist, thankfully he no longer has his cast.

"Jeez, did you really miss me that much?" He asks, blushing wildly as I smother him with kisses. I pull back and nod. "Well duh! I was so lonely, I thought I was gonna die if I had to spend another day listening to Bev rant about Bill!" I laugh.

By now, everyone in the schoolyard is watching in shock as Eddie leans in and kisses me softly.

The kiss doesn't last longer then a second as Eddie is pulled off me by a jock. "What the hell do you think your doing, kid?!" Joshua Henderson, #15 on the varsity football team, questions. "Are you alright, Ally?" He asks, looking towards me after pushing Eddie behind him.

Eddie glares at the older boy. I frown and move around the football player, linking my hand with Eddie's. Joshua stares in confusion along with everyone else.

"Yeah. He's my boyfriend, actually..." I mutter, feeling uncomfortable under all the stares.

"What?!"

The entire schoolyard seems to gasp in unison.

I laugh a little, nodding.

"Yeah, now if you would excuse me—", I lean over and kiss Eddie's lips once more, "—me and my boyfriend are gonna go hang out with our friends."

Eddie smirks back at the football player as we walk away, feeling proud. The rest of the losers laugh a little before greeting Eddie. "Are you sure you wanna hang out with us Ally? We—" Ben starts.

"You're my friends. I don't care about popularity status."

They all nod, Bill smiles at me happily. We all begin to look at each other's schedule. I have Mike and Eddie all day long except for during cheer, Stan and Richie for every class before lunch (except cheer), Bill and Bev for English, and Ben for AP biology. We all have lunch together.

As everyone talks about the teachers, my eyes drift up to Eddie. He catches my stare and blushes, glancing all around. A cheeky grin rests on my cheeks at his nervousness. Teasing him this year is gonna be a lot of fun.

Then, the bell rings snapping us out of our daze. We scatter to class.
