Will woke up the next morning with dried tears plastered to his face. He wiped them quickly with the back of his hand and jumped out of bed to get changed.

Will wore a blue flannel shirt tucked into off shite pants, nothing unusual for the boy.

"Hurry up will! Argyle is here!" Jane yelled from what he guessed to be the living room. He threw on his shoes and ran down the stairs, almost tripping twice. Once out side Johnathan let out a quiet "Finally" before opening the car door for will.

Will found his seat on the far left seat in the back. He put his seat belt on and placed his backpack on the space next to him. "Hey will?" Jane asked so will turned towards her. "Why does your friend look like Mike?" She asked. Will was stunned. He couldnt think of answer to this qeustion, because he didn't know the answer himself.

"Coincidence" he said after a moment of thinking. "Coincidence?" She said in broken English. "Something that just happens with a reason." He said turning away from her to look out of the window. His name stung.

Richie was sitting in his mother's car as she drove him to school. His sleep wasn't the best last night but it wasn't horrible. His mind just kept bringing him back to the topic of Mike. He didn't like Mike and he wasn't going to lie about that to make will happy, just wasn't him. He never liked to cover his opinions to please people.

Though he was nervous to start a new school he knew it wouldn't be too hard to make friends, hopefully. He made friends up in his head, each one of them surrounding one of the losers.

Before he knew it he was parked in front of his new school. It has big but seemed pretty planned out from the parking lot. If it was this large he could only imagine the amount of assholes in this place.

He was used to being bullied but that was small town bullying, where there wasn't as many kids judging you, but this is a very large town, so he could only think of the amount of humiliation one must feel after being laughed at by hundreds of kids.

"Well? Are you getting out?" His mother asked, urging him to get out. "Um yea- see you later." He said grabbing his bag from in front of him and getting out. He was terrified.

He then noticed a pizza van a few cars in front of them, and out stepped Jane and will. Richie was confused but walked up to will anyway.

"Hey" richie said startling will. "Oh hey!" Will chipped up. Jane had already walked off to where ever. "How can you be so energetic at 8:30 am." He asked, slightly chuckling at the sight of the boy. "I have zero clue," he said rubbing the back of his neck lightly. "Well let's go shall we?" Richie said, gesturing will to lead him in. "Right, lets go get your schedule." Will said smiling at Richie and walking away. Richie followed seconds after.

.

They made their ways to the office through the crowds of kids, though it took a little while. Will talked for Richie mostly as he knew what it felt to be judged by the staff members as the new kid. After a bit they got him schedule and looked through it. It turned out they only had three classes together. Geometry, pe, and english. Luckily they only had 5 classes in a day so they could see each other 60% of the school day.

They walked the halls for about 20 minutes as will showed Richie around the school. It was confusing, there was a whole seperate area for lunch and break and the other area was classes. Will dropped Richie off in front of his first class, science. As will walked away Richie realized how put of place he felt. With will it felt like be had been for a bit but now that he was alone he felt awkward and lonely.

He stayed in the close range of the classroom waiting the bell to ring. He waited for about 4 minutes as kids passed him and looked at him weird. When the class finally went it the teacher placed him next to a girl named Beatrice. She looked annoying and popular so Richie took note to not talk to her. She looked like at any moment she could pop out a slur and then act dumb.

.

Will on the other hand was in history sat next to some girl he didn't bother to talk to. She looked nice and she clearly took interest in will but he declined any advancement from her. He didn't care too much for history and just listened to the stuff that will let him pass tests so when it came to the people next to him asking for help, he couldn't do much to help them. With the stuff he didnt pick up on Jane helped him. She may act like a 4th grader sometimes but she listened relatively well and has good grades.

.

A little into the class the teacher reminded them of the presentation on Friday. Every kid was expected to make a slide show, poster, or a physical Represention of their hero. Jane was going to do Hopper, who had died while with Joyce. He knew it would make her more of a target to angela and her goons but she didn't seem to notice anything odd about choosing her dad.

Will had tuned out of the teacher and found his mind wondering to Richie. He wondered how Richie was doing and who he was sat by. Will could only hope it wasn't anyone like angela. There were a lot of bullies in wills school so there wasn't much chance that Richie hadn't seen or talked to at least one.

"Will" a voice whispered from beside him. "Yes?" He answered noticing the girl next to him is the one talking. "Do you want to hang out sometime after school?" She asked, moving her foot next to his. "Uh no thank you" he smiled politely before turning back to the teacher and zoning out.
