Richie Tozier

You are strangers. This was the long-awaited trip to camp for you. You started packing your suitcase a week in advance, adding new things every day.

The day of the trip arrived. Everyone settled into the seats of the chartered bus, stowing their suitcases in the compartments. Sitting with your headphones on and looking out the window, you notice that someone is staring at you, for a long time. It was Richie, Richie Tozier. He was discussing you with his friend Jack. He had many acquaintances on this bus, so he knew everyone by heart. He was a popular guy because his father owns some company that was incomprehensible to you, but very cool. You didn't care; you were going there to relax and perhaps find friends, or maybe even your first love.

Richie: Hey you, whatever your name is? Who even are you? What are you doing here?
You just sat there and didn't hear him, being more interested in the view from the window.
Richie didn't understand why he was being ignored and started to get a little angry.
Richie: Hello? What, are you deaf?
Richie rose from his seat, careful not to let the bus shake and make him fall. He grabbed your shoulder sharply and painfully, turning you toward him.
Richie: I don't tolerate being ignored, baby, especially when it's persistent.
Confused, you simply took off your headphones. What?
Richie just froze, not understanding what was happening. He blushed slightly from the prolonged eye contact with you. Well, naturally, you were very beautiful.

For the rest of the trip, you thought about... no. It can't be, are you thinking about him? Do you like him? You don't know, and neither does he...

Everyone arrived and you were assigned to cabins and roommates. It didn't matter to you who you lived with, as long as you had a good rapport with everyone. Evening came. The first disco. Everyone gathered looking beautiful, in dresses, suits... and you..? You didn't want to be outdone either, so you put on a beautiful dress above the knees and low-heeled shoes. Leaving your room, you headed to the event and started having a great time.

Whether you'll meet Finn is up to you, baby, don't let me down.
