The clown

*The next day*

Beverley called us and asked if we could meet her at her house. So I got my bike and took off and met with the guys then we all went to bevs house.

You guys made it. I need to show you something she says. What is it? Eddie asks. My dad will kill me if he finds out I had boys in the apartment. W-w-we'll leave a look out, Richie stay here bill says. Woah woah woah what if her dad comes back? Richie says. Do what you always do, start talking Stanley says.

We all go up the stairs and into bevs house. It's in there bev says as we stand in front of a door. What's in there? Stanley asks. Are you taking us to your bathroom? I just want you to know that 89% of the worst accidents in homes and that it's where all the fungi and bacteria are- Eddie says but I cut him off. Eddie it's okay calm down I say.

Bill opens the door slowly and we see blood everywhere. You see it? Bev asks. Yeah I say. What happened in here? Stanley questions bev. My dad couldn't see it I-I thought i was crazy she says. Well if we can all see it then we're all crazy Ben says. We c-c-can't leave it like this bill says.

Bev shows us where all the cleaning stuff is and everyone starts to clean. Y-yeah no I'm not sure if I wanna clean who's ever blood that is I say. Why not bill says. You guys what's my second worst fear I say. Oh shit youre scared of blood Stanley says. Ok then go help Richie outside bill says. Yeah ok I say leaving the apartment.

Are y'all done already Richie says. No I uh I can't be in there I say. Why what's in there he says. My second worst fear I say. Blood? He asks. Go see for yourself I'll keep a look out I say. He nods then goes up.

Why couldn't bevs dad see it I question myself. Makes me wonder also how my mom didn't hear me calling her name and asked me if I was okay as if she didn't hear anything when I had that incident at home.

After a while they all come down let's go now? I say. We all get out bikes and start walking together. Hey at least I didn't clean the bathroom imagining that it looks like Eddie's moms vagina Richie says. She didn't imagine it bill says while stopping. I saw something too he says. I saw Georgie but it wasn't just him I mean like I saw t-the- bill was cut off. The clown Eddie says.

M-me too I say looking at bill. Same Ben says. Wait can only virgins see this stuff? Is that why I'm not seeing this shit? Richie says. Richie I'm sorry but I don't anyone would wanna have sex with you I say. Aw now that's just rude he says. I roll my eyes at him and it goes silent until we hear people and see bell chuggins car.

We should get out of here eddie says. Yeah let's go Richie says. Wait, isn't that the homeschooled kids bike bill says. Yeah that's mikes Eddie says. Well we have to help him Beverley says. We should? Richie asks. Yes idiot I say as we run to the woods.

We stop and see bowers and his friends picking on Mike. Beverley picks up a rock and throws it at bowers head. Nice throw I say. Thanks she says. We all pick up rocks as Mike comes over to us. You losers are doing it wrong bowers says. Those girls will do you, you just ask nicely like I did for Beverley bowers says while grabbing his crotch. Ahhhhh!! Ben yells and throws a rock hitting bowers. ROCK WARS!!! Richie yells then gets hit with a rock.

We start throwing rocks and bowers and his friends throw rocks back. We kept going until bowers friends ran away. Go blow your dad you mullet-wearing asshole Richie says while flipping bowers off. Richie let's go I say pulling him with me.

Thanks guys but you shouldn't have done that cause he'll be after you guys now Mike says. Oh no no no bowers is always after us eddie says. I guess that's one t-t-thing we all have in common bill says. Yeah home school, welcome to the losers club Richie says.
