; bro, did u tell him?

; no.

; but as soon as he saw u leave with Henry he ran after you.

; listen my head hurts, can we do this later.

; what the hell happened? why did u leave school early yesterday? and y arent u here?

; Henry Bowers punched my face a bunch of times.

; why? you haven't done anything wrong to him in like 2 weeks

; its probably because he thinks I like Eddie.

; but you do like Eddie

; I don't know anymore.

; why the hell not.

; he made me promise not to tell anyone

; What?

; ok so when Henry dragged me to the bathroom he punched the living shit out of me and I thought it was u but it was Eddie. anyway, i blocked out for most of their conversation but i did hear him say something like "don't show anyone" or "don't tell anyone" or some shit like that and Eddie said fine.

; so?

; then i found some things out and i promised i wouldn't say.

; and u choose now to be a man of your word?

; well i don't wanna hurt Eddie.

; i swear i won't tell

; no. you'll never look at him the same. i know i won't.

; what? was he an assassin?

; ...
