Its been 2 years and Eddie had killed that fucking clown that was terrorising him and his friends. He also realised that the pills actually were placebos so he stopped taking them, he still kept his inhaler in hand though.

After everything him and his friends went through they decided not to talk about it and just have fun for as-long as possible. Eddie was fine with that but things changed, he had this weird feeling inside of him every time he saw Richie...

"Ed's cmon its time to go!!" Richie yelled from below.

'Great Richie came to bring me to school' Eddie thought spitefully, he tried to distance himself without making it obvious when the weird feeling started. He thought it would be best but Richie was being Richie.

"I'm coming!" He yelled. He grabbed his backpack and carefully ran down the stairs, "bye mommy!"

"Bye Eddie-bear!" His mom replied sweetly.

"We're gonna be late Ed's?" Richie moaned, he may not seem smart but he actually got straight A's, that pretty good for someone who smoked a random plant.

"We're not going to be late and don't call me Ed's!" He said hopping onto his bike. They took off down the street towards the school.

They arrived at school and met up with the others, "see spaghetti man, were not late!" Richie laughed.

That feeling, it was back. It felt like that weird feeling you get in your stomach when you feel unwell, "y-yea you were right" he replied reaching into his fanny pack for his inhaler.

"W-w-we better g-get to c-c-class g-gu-guys" Bill stuttered.

They all headed to their classes. The started like a normal day but whenever Richie was in His class he got that weird feeling again. He decided it might be time to tell somebody as he could be seriously ill and he got really worried.

At recess he met up with Mike and Stanley to tell them what was going on. "Guys I keep getting this weird sickly feeling in my stomach I think I might die!" Eddie cried to them.

"When do you get this feeling? Randomly or around someone?" Stanley asked not concerned a bit.

"Whenever I'm around Richie, I think I'm allergic to him or something!" Eddie continued.

Mike and Stanley looked at each other and back and Eddie and smiled.

"Looks like somebody likes Trashmouth!" Mike declared.

"W-who likes R-R-Richie?" Bill shouted from a distance.

"Eddie!" Stan exclaimed.

"N-n-no i-i uh...I-" Eddie stuttered,

"m-maybe a little..."

"Oh my god! Eddie i was joking!" Stan gasped.

Eddie looked at them all. He felt so embarrassed and ran away, he didn't go too far because of his asthma.

'Why did I do that to myself' he thought whilst catching his breath.

Richie walked around the corner and saw Eddie, "hey spaghetti man!" He shouted.

Eddie looked up and that feeling was back, he now knew what the feeling was, he didn't try stop it like all the other times. He let it settle inside of him.
