eddie eddie edssssss i got two tickets to the next cinema gorefest in town this friday! i just know its gonna be SO awful it'll do a 180 up its own ass until it winds up in so-bad-its-good territory you know ya wanna come cmon eddie eddie ?? eddie babyyyyy
oh nooo way, no way rich. the last time i went with you to one of those i wound up gagging on 90% of the food i was trying to eat i could get tetanus just from LOOKING at those kind of movies
do you just say that about everything you dont wanna do? cant go to the movies, rich! cant leave the house! ill get tetanus! i refuse to laugh at a single one of your jokes! tetanus will bust the door down! thats so insensitive to real victims of tetanus, eds
what, you dont like it? i was all excited about branching out
i think you're severely underestimating how easy it is to get tetanus. i won't get tetanus from laughing at one of your jokes though i would probably just get instantaneous hemorrhoids
[okay, be cool. beeeeee cool. this is a library, you're allowed to talk in the library, as long as you're quiet and polite and respectful (like she's ever been anything else, ever). just walk up and tap her on the shoulder and --
-- and she has a ribbon in her hair, what, what, why, that's so cute.]
I like your ribbon. [that's...what she says, when she MEANS to ask about the notes from class earlier. nice. awesome. great job, byers.]
(Eddie wasn't used to other girls coming up to her too often. Most of the time girls fell silent whenever she walked into a room and the moment her back was turned, there would be peels of cruel, ugly laughter and she would feel embarrassed.
The girls at Derry would always say she dressed like such a prude. Thought her ribbons and bows were for little girls who still believed in Santa Clause.
The girls at the college weren't much better. So when this big-eyed girl comes out of the blue to tell her that she likes her ribbon? Eddie's eyes just go a little large and she actually whips her head to the side as if expecting to find some other girl with a ribbon just behind her. Because surely this girl wasn't talking to...her?
But nope. It was just Eddie standing there and she sort of gapes, heat already raising into her cheeks.)
Whuu- oh. Um. Me? (She points to herself uselessly, and then gives a small, snort of a laugh, something that instantly has her covering his mouth and nose in embarrassment.
God why was she so awful with girls.)
Thank you. Um. Thanks. (Right. This was that girl from class- Willow. Will. Eddie could remember things. Sometimes.)
[god, why is she such a literal disaster? why is she like this? college was supposed to be a new start, a chance to not be such a helpless, stammering mess around girls. will had wanted to make some friends, get out of her shell a little and maybe (maybe???) make out with a cute liberal arts major.
but as the blonde covers her mouth in a laugh, all that feels more and more impossible. will bites her lower lip, nodding helplessly, feeling her neck and ears slowly turn crimson.]
Y-Yeah. You. It's. It's pretty. You're -- the ribbon. Is pretty. [god why won't the floor open up and swallow her whole?? will's ready to slink away and maybe crawl into a hole somewhere when the girl -- edith, eddie, she'd introduced herself as on the first day of class -- seems to actually...remember her?
will's eyes get even wider and she nods, too emphatically.] Yeah! Yes. Willow. I-I mean, that's my name -- Willow, people call me Will. My friends call me Will. N-Not that we're friends, I-I don't know you. Yet. But.
