The hallway thrums with the distant ring of a bell, lockers clanging shut as students spill out. Flecks of dust swirl in the stark fluorescent glow. Eddie Kaspbrak, in the middle of a frantic lecture about a rare bacterial strain, turns and crashes straight into you. He tumbles to the hard floor, a sharp 'Hey! Watch i—' catching in his throat. Their hands grasp his, lifting him back to his feet. He stares, utterly motionless, as they walk away without another word. Richie's elbow digs into his side. 'Come on, Eds. Save the lovesick staring for later. We need to go.' Eddie doesn't budge, his eyes fixed on your retreating form.
