reader's sexuality as always isn't specified. i like giving you, the readers, the choice of what sexuality she is.

You got home and still, Beverly was on your mind. The image of her, in your head. You thought that it might be because she was just pretty.

But the way you were feeling wasn't that of just admiring a pretty girl. You sigh. You had already known for a while that you weren't straight. Though this was what really confirmed it.

You liked Beverly.

for now you'd keep it to yourself. After all, Derry seemed like a homophobic town. It was just something you observed and concluded.

You soon fell asleep, nightmares plaguing your mind involving Pennywise. Stupid since he was just a clown, until you realized that he was the terror behind the missing children.

That's when you realized you were scared. You couldn't show your fear, though. He feeds off fear. In the middle of the night, you heard some noises. You wake up. Some nightmare? when you go over to your window where you herd fhe noises.

Your eyes widen, Bower's fucking gang. You open your window."Fuck off, pervs! Or I will kick each of you in the balls!" Luckily nobody heard, only them, while they quickly leave. You smirk. they listened.

Honestly, you weren't surprised they were pervs. must have some serious issues. You had some power over them, you realized, so you could use it to your advantage.

It made sense that they were the ones who were stalking you. You made sure that they weren't watching you and changed into pajamas.

When Morning Came up, You got up, and then changed. You wanted to go on your bike, you liked doing that. You had a car but going on your bike was fun.

So, you got on your bike. You feel the breeze when you begin biking. You needed exercise, hence why you were even biking. While biking, You notice the guys. "Hey! You smile. "What are you guys doing?"

"Still looking for Georgie, Stan said. "You know what? I'll join you, You offer. "things became weird here..." Everyone nodded. You turn to Ben,"you liking Derry so far?"  "Eh, Ben confesses. You chuckle.

Your friends were looking over jealousy. Richie, especially. "Rich, You okay? Eddie asked, when you couldn't hear. "No, Look, Y/N and the New kid, I don't like it, Richie admits. His friends didn't either. Jealousy was something they shared.

But, they loved you too much. they were growing obsessed. But you couldn't know. Still chatting with Ben, they look at each other.

- -

You weren't usually so oblivious, but were focusing on having a good time. Your grumpy friends, though, didn't like you being so close with Ben.

"This is kind of stupid, why are we getting so worked up? Stan asked. "I-It i-isn't, Bill pointed out. "Hey guys! You say. "We should swim in the quarry, You suggested.

"That's a good idea, Stan said. "I don't know, Eddie said, crossing his arms. "there might be so much germs." "Wuss, Richie smirked, following behind you.

"Okay fine, Eddie rolls his eyes, wanting to fit in. Even though it wasn't uncomfortable, it was weird being in your underwear along with the others, who were staring like they hadn't seen a girl in their underwear before.

You roll your eyes, but jokingly. Nothing rude. "Well, who goes in first? Eddie asks, looking over the water. Beverly laughed."I will." She jumps in, You jump in after. Of course, the others followed behind.

You feel the water which you felt when you jumped in. You swim a little as you were surprised that Eddie was even in. After all he was a total germaphobe.

You eventually joined in the game that of course Richie suggested. But after a while you just wanted to lay down in the Sun. nothing wrong with that. Sunglasses covered your eyes, but you knew eyes were on you.

Bev laid beside you. Music played, which made you feel more relaxed. Happy, carefree. However, you raised your sunglasses over your head, giving fhe boys a smirk. "What are you looking at?" You sit beside Bill. You notice, Bev had shorter hair.

"Your hair... You say, when Bev comes by you. She asked, eyelashes fluttering. "You like my haircut?" "Y...Yeah, You smile. Bill nods. you look over to Ben."Whoa." He held his folder, you scoot closer.

"I did so much research, Derry has the highest crime rate, Ben said. "Kids rapidly go missing." Richie joked, "Nerd." You roll your eyes, if your family knew, why move here? You hoped your Mom and Dad didn't have any clue.

"I uh, have more in my room, info, i mean, if you, would.... He stops himself. You stand up. "I would. I mean, we should go." Ben blushes. Eddie scoffs. You didn't get why.

You arrive by bike. Driving seemed very easy, plus, why drive when you could have more exercise while biking? "Do you guys, not drive? You ask, curiously. Eddie nods. "We do, we just, felt like riding our bikes."

"I see."

He nodded. His house was small, but nice. Ben, like yourself, was an only child. You enter his room in awe. He really loved history. So did you, but this much? Quite interesting, and useful. "Holy shit, Richie said, while everyone walks around.

As you look in Derry's history, You see a consistent pattern. Every 27 years. "Guys, is it just me? Or... does this seemingly a coincidence? You asked. "More specifically, why here in Derry?" Everyone looks over, when Ben speaks up, "Something targets Derry. If you look, so many settlers vanished. Some think the natives did it but no signs of an attack."

Weird.

But would it line up with Pennywise? You concluded, He did this every 27 years. Bill gives you a warm smile, which you return. You notice some, tension, which wasn't good. You suggest, "We should leave. I'm kind of freaked out. Not like i don't like it y'know..."

"We get it."

You and the others leave. When you do, you notice something. "I know that bike! You exclaim. You had a bad feeling. The bike belonged to the homeschooled kid you had seen. You drop your bike. You decide, you were going to help.

So were your friends.
