tw? i'm not sure.
*NOT COMPLETELY CHECKED*
"babe please, i haven't been able to have a proper conversation with you all week. when will you ever stop ignoring me?"
richie pleaded as he plopped himself down from across my bed.
i continued to read my book, not even glancing up at him before mumbling, "until you learn your fucking lesson."
pausing to glare at me, richie dramatically held his hand to his chest, "what? this is ridiculous, i've apologized countless times... & you still won't talk to me."
i ignored him, turning the page to my book.
i knew he craved attention because of his situation with his parents at home, & part of me felt bad for neglecting him, but he had to know that what he did was not okay.
earlier this week the losers & i were hanging out at the quarry. everyone was laughing & getting along. ever since we started sophomore year it's been harder to hang out all together as a group because high school slowly started becoming a lot more stressful.
we were all gossiping & sharing stories, but richie thought it would be a good idea to joke about my grades. he would open his big stupid mouth & just let the words fall out.
"no because if you wanna know what's really dumb," richie snickered, interrupting ben.
when no one answered his question, he still thought that was a sign to continue.
"y/n! i mean, have you seen her grades? no offense babe, but i don't think you're doing the best right now." he laughed.
everyone remained quiet, sharing a glance over at me. it wasn't rare that richie would joke about things randomly, but his comment really bothered me. is that how he actually sees me?
he continued with the joke, oblivious to the tension that he had caused,
"see, bill could probably do better than you... & he can hardly speak!" he laughed loudly.
at this point my cheeks became red from embarrassment & anger. i've never been the smartest & school was always a struggle to me.
not to mention he's not making fun of just me anymore, he's making fun of bill too.
bill looked over at me, shaking his head,
"y-y/n don't listen to h-him. he's obviously
f-fucking stupid." he glared at richie.
richies smile slowly faded, his eyebrows knitting together, "what?" he glanced between bill & i.
"it's just a joke... i thought it would be funny?" he looked over at me, noticing my expression.
"you thought joking about how it's hard for me to learn was fucking funny?" i snapped back.
a sudden gasp left everyone's mouth. richie & i hardly ever fought. but right now i just wanted to scream at him for hurting my feelings.
