Warning mention of the f slur and other slurs because it's Henry what'd you expect
New Clothes, New School, New Life. All within a couple weeks after moving to Derry Maine. The place was a pig sty and that's an insult to pigs. You missed New York, sure it was also a pig sty but a nicely organized one. Derry was the catch all kind of place, racist, homophobes, sexist, you name it someone's believing it.
You walked through the halls of your new school with your head hung low. You didn't want any attention, you just wanted to get it over with. But sadly fate had other plans. You caught the attention of a certain Bully and his gang. As you were shoving your things into your locker a hand suddenly closed it, not fast enough to catch your hand in the process but enough to make a point.
"Haven't seen you before, you new?" Henry , school bully asked with a smirk.
"Yeah and you must be the welcoming committee." You replied sarcastically.
Victor laughed and patted Henry's back signifying he liked the guy or it was a good comeback.
"Well then I guess we ought to give you a tour." Henry said and grabbed you by the arm, then slung his arm around your shoulders.
He walked you through the halls, "Math, Science, English, losers, sluts, fags, we got it all!"
You had to bite your tongue to not say anything about Henry's words.
You walked by a small group of kids who were all chatting. Henry then grabbed a guy with glasses backpack and yanked it causing the guy to fall backward onto the floor. The rest of the group looked up, half scared and half ready to pick a fight. You didn't know what to do so you stood there just watching it play out.
"And our last stop on the tour, the biggest bunch of losers in Derry. Glasses here is a fag, so is the short one, he's a jew, and B-B-Bill st-st-stutters." Henry mocked each one.
You nodded and hoped you could just move on to your next class, "Nice to meet you now I'm late for class so-"
Henry laughed and grabbed your arm, "Of course of course! You'll have time to get acquainted later."
"Really thanks but I'm good to go now." You yanked your arm away from him and headed to class.
Henry didn't follow you but that somehow made your nerves worse. You tried to shrug it off during class but you just couldn't. Your second day there and you had caught the attention of the school's biggest bully. Some luck.
You didn't see Henry the rest of they day but when school was over and you walked out you heard a car horn honk. Looking over you saw Henry and the gang waving you over. It was either walk home or take a ride with them so you decided to just go with them. Plus if you befriended them they would have no reason to pick on you so there wasn't any harm to it right?
You got in the passenger seat with Henry behind the wheel. He smiled over to you and set off. He drove for a bit then swerved and almost hit the same kids he had teased earlier on their bikes. You looked back to make sure none of them were hurt but two of them had fallen over. Henry grabbed your shoulder and forced you back to him and the gang.
"Don't care about those freaks they ain't worth your time." Henry said hand still on your shoulder in a firm grip.
You just nodded and looked towards the road. This was going to be hard.
A couple weeks passed and you were now officially part of the Bowers gang. When you walked through the halls people avoided you or sent you glares. The losers club looked at you with sad expressions mixed with mad ones. It was kind of tough to take it all in but you reminded yourself that if you hadn't befriended Bowers you'd be the one getting picked on. So you'll keep it up for as long as you can no matter what.
