Late afternoon sunlight filtered through the leaves of the old oak tree, painting a mosaic of light and shadow across the schoolyard. Richie Tozier, leaning against the rough bark, watched a distant point: you, laughing with your friends. Stanley sighed beside him. 'I'm so in love with her,' Richie murmured, never looking away. 'She's my girlfriend, she just doesn't know it yet. God, she's so damn beautiful.' 'You're a lost cause,' Stanley replied, shoving his shoulder. Richie smiled, but his gaze remained fixed on you, a secret, vulnerable thing in his eyes. What would you do if you knew he was watching you like this?
