As it was | Richie Tozier

"'Cause I know that you feel me somehow"

"Magnolia you little shit, Come eat dinner." Yelled my brother from the kitchen. I had been reading with my headphones on full blast so I wasn't able to hear him the first time. Our father was working a night shift tonight so Henry was in charge.

"Coming." I yell back getting out of bed. My brother sounds rude and is mean to everyone but he's actually pretty nice to me. I think he's just misunderstood.

My father has never been aggressive towards me but he is with Henry all the time. One time he even almost shot Henry. I think that day was his turning point.

"Sorry. I couldn't hear you." I say sitting down where an egg and cheese sandwich was sat. "I hope you like it. This is all I really know how to cook." Henry said his voice quieter than how he usually is with his friends.

I took a bite out of the sandwich. "It's fucking great Hen." I say back to him using his nickname that only I called him.

"Are you ready for school tomorrow?" Asked Henry talking about the last day of school. "Fuck yea. I'm so excited for summer. This school year has just been a pain in the ass." I said thinking of Georgie and Billie.

"Well I'll get Belch to drop you off at school tomorrow if you don't want to ride your bike." My brother said, my tires were flat as fuck and henry hadn't gotten to pumping them yet. It was a pain in the ass to ride so I just nodded my head.

"You can sit up front. I'll sit in the back with the boys." He said, making me laugh imagining all them in the back seat.

<3

The bell to school finally rang and I headed to where I would meet the boys right outside of their class. "They slice the tip of his dick off." Says Eddie as I join them walking and throwing my arm around my best friend Richie.

"But then Stan will have nothing left." Says Richie making the group laugh

"What the fuck are we talking about?" I asked confused as hell. "Stan's Jewish test thing."

"Guys." Says Stan catching up to us. "Hey Stan. What happens at the Barmitzvah anyways. Eddie says they slick the tip of your d-d-dick off." Says Billie stuttering only a little bit.

"Yeah and I think the rabbis get to cool down your pants. Turn to the crowd and say ''where's the meat!" Says Richie succeeding to make the group laugh again.

"At the barmitzvah I read from the Torah and then I make a speech and suddenly I become a man." Stanley explained it to us even though I was really listening. I was staring at my brother up ahead. Him and his friends were all standing on the wall watching people walk by sometimes throwing stuff at people.

As we walked past them they creepily stared at us then slowly followed behind us after we started to walk down the stairs.

"Think they'll sign my yearbook, Mag?" Richie said looking at me which I just shook my head and laughed. "Dear Richie, sorry for taking a hot steamy dump in your backpack last month."
