I woke up to the repetitive beeping blaring out of my alarm clock, I lay in bed for an extra 5 minutes or so, then I got ready to go to the barrens with the other losers. Was I scared shitless? Yes 100%, god knows what we could find down there. Was I going to turn down going? Definitely not, if Bill needs my help I will help him as much as he needs us all. I slowly got up from my bed and changed from my pyjamas to the outfit below ☟︎

(as always if you don't like the outfit you can change it)
I strapped a watch to my wrist and called bill to ask where we were meeting. He told me they all decided to meet at Eddie's house at 11:30 and it was currently 11:15, so I had a bit of time to spare before i needed to set off. I slipped on my black pair of converse and went downstairs to make breakfast.
I popped two eggo waffles into the toaster and sat on the counter top and impatiently waited for them to cook. I swung my legs back and forth slowly as I fidgeted with the black strap on my watch. Once my eggos were ready I ate them in practically no time then headed straight out the door and rode my bike to eddie's house.
I was riding my bike to eddie's house when I heard a faint whisper. The voice sounded familiar but I couldn't quite understand what it was saying. I pulled my bike into the alley way behind the butchers shop to try analyse the whisper. Then it clicked the whisper was saying something along the lines of "you'll float too, y/n"
you'll float too? What the fuck does that even mean?
I just turned back around to pick my bike up but instead i was faced with all my friends, but they looked different. They were all pale, colour completely drained from their skin, their eyes were completely white and lifeless. They all looked dead.
I started to hyperventilate, I don't know what to do so I just closed my eyes and hoped they would go away. I slowly re-opened my eyes but they were still there, but this time there was a huge clown towering above them all. It held a red balloon in it's gloved hand, It extend its arm and passed the balloon to 'stan'
I opened my mouth to say something but no words came out, I physically couldn't talk. Stan slowly approached me, gripping the balloon harshly and he forcefully placed in my shaking hand. Again I tried to talk but it was the same, no words could make their way out of my mouth.
I was terrified, totally frozen in fear. I felt paralysed, I couldn't move, speak or breathe in a normal pattern.
"Your better of just being quiet, you know that right" 'stan' said in a threatening tone. This wasn't something the real stan would say, never.
"you're not real." I repeated to myself quietly. "What was that? We're not real y/n" 'richie' tormented as the other boys snickered. The clowns yellow eyes pierced through me as their laughed echoed through my mind.
I wanted to just get out of here but I was still frozen to the spot. A few tears started to roll down my cheeks and the boys continued with their hysterical fit of menacing laughter.
All of a sudden a pair of hands gripped my shoulders softly. I looked up expecting it to be one of those things but instead it was Mike Hanlon?
Mike was a homeschooled kid who worked on a farm with his grandad, I heard something once about why his parents aren't around anymore and I honestly felt bad for the poor kid. I had never spoke to mike but from what I can tell he's a nice kid.
"wow, wow, wow, Are you ok? What happened? Are you hurt?" Mike questioned. Before I answered I looked behind him, they weren't there anymore, no clown, no losers, where did they go? "Oh uh, yeah I'm fine, thanks Mike" I said quickly wiping my tears. "It's okay, I should be on my way now" He said with a smile. "me too, thanks again." I said sincerely.
I looked at my watch '11:28'. Great I'm probably going to be late. I grabbed my bike and peddled faster than ever, wanting to just forget about what happened with the 'losers' and the clown.
Well this summer has had a great start!
