♡The winter to the summer♡

SNEAK PEAK!!!!!!

A cold winter night in derry, snow falling, cars frosting, and winter break close by. Richie had decided he was going to go out tonight. He doesn't know where, just anywhere out of his house. He grabs a dirty dark green shirt that barley fits him anymore off the floor where the rest of his dirty clothes are. He grabs his thin black jacket, but doesn't bother to zip it up. He has already gotten used to the cold, despite his skinny body. He puts his shoes on and unlocks his window. He slips out without a peep or a squeak. He closed his window but left a small gap so he could get back inside later. He holds on to the roof for a bit of stability. He sits on the edge of the roof, Richie jumps off with a hard thud. He get up and brushes some snow off of him.

His bike lays on the ground in the driveway. Richie walks over to his bike and stands it up so he can ride it. He thinks in places he can go, but at 2:06AM there is not many places he can go. He only has one friend, Mike. Mike is his best friend, and his only friend. But he can't go to his farm at this time, he is definitely asleep by now. Richie is riding his bike around on the sidewalks next to the streets. He looks at on of the only gas stations in derry and decides to get some food. Well, candy per say. He drives up to the gas station and parks his bike on the side of the building. He walks in and walks to the candy isle and scopes out his favorite candy, sour gummy worms. He buys 2 packs of sour gummy worms for 3.47 dollars. He walks out of the store and sits on the curb and eats some of his sour gummy worms, until he sees a dark figure appearing from a distance. It seems as it is coming towards Richie.

Richie looks closer at the figure coming closer, it seems like he has seen that person before. It's bill, from Richies history class. Richie has seen him with his group of friends at lunch every day, Richie watches bill walk inside the gas station and 5 minutes later come out with a brown paper bag. Bill starts to walk back to where he came from, leaving Richie confused. But after Richie ate one pack of his sour gummy worms, he also rode his bike back to his house. Richie parked his bike in his driveway, and started to head to the side of his house. He climbs up to the roof and opens his window back up. He slides through the window silently and closes it. He takes off his shoes, placing them on the floor. He doesn't bother changing to go to sleep, he checks the time before he goes to bed, 3:21AM. He takes his glasses off and placed them on his night stand, then gets under his blanket and goes to sleep..

This morning, 6:30AM.

Richie wakes up to his alarm going off. He turns his alarm off and stands up out of bed. He grabs his glasses and puts them on his face to he can see. Richie looks around for a clean enough outfit to wear to school today, then he sees a royal blue hoodie and divides to wear that today. He takes off his dark green shirt and puts his hoodie on. He doesn't feel like changing his black jeans because they were his cleanest pair of pants. Richie grabs his book bag and opens his bedroom door slowly and quietly, trying not to wake his parents. He walks down the stairs and being careful on the steps that creek and scream. He looks over at the couch only to see Maggie passed out with 3 bottles of alcohol next to her, all empty. Richie walks out the front door, gets onto his bike, and heads to school.

Richie arrives at school, it only took 10 minutes to ride his bike to school. He goes into the school, pushing his way past random people to get to his locker. But who was at his locker was the person he would least want to see on a damn Wednesday, no other than Henry bowers and his minions. "Jesus why fucking me." Richie thought as he approached his locker where Henry and his minions were. "Look what we got here, a little fag with his faggy ass glasses!" Henry said, his minions laughing with him. "Okay fuck face I need my shit so fucking move ass-hat." Richie said confidently. Henry did not take that well, not at all. Henry grabbed Richie by his shirt and lifted him up, then pinned him up to the locker. "You mind sayin' that again little fucker?" Henry said to Richie. "You fucking deaf or something? I fuckin' said-" Richie was cut off by a punch in the face by Henry. Henry let him go and fall on the ground, then the bell rung. "Saved by the bell. Lucky little shit." Henry said as he walked away with his minions following close behind. Richie touched the place where Henry punched him. His mouth bled, but not a lot. His cheek was bright red, and turning a purple and green-ish color. But it doesn't matter to Richie, so he grabs his stuff for his first period class, science.

Richie at at the door to his first class, before he walks  in he wipes the blood from his mouth on his hoodie sleeve. The redish brown color clearly visible on his royal blue hoodie. Richie opens the door to the science room and walks in and heads to his seat. "Richard Tozier... this is your 3rd time being late to this class. You will be receiving a call to your parents and a lunch detention. This will be your last time being late to my class." The teacher says to Richie as he walks to his seat. A couple kids giggled at Richie for being late. Richie thinks nothing of it though. (After science class)
Science passes relatively quickly. He walks through the halls to get to his locker, when Richie arrives at his locker he sees a group. He sees what people call "losers club". Richie never understood what that meant. The losers club had 3 people in it. Stanley, bill, and Beverly. The three stood next to Richies locker, while Richie was grabbing some of his stuff for history class someone started to talk to him. It was bill. "H-Hey, R-R-R-Richie r-right?" Bill said. Richie looked down at bill with confusion. "Oh, uh yea.. why?" Said Richie. "A-A-Are you o-o-o-okay?"
Bill said with his usual stutter. "Yeah I'm fine? Why wouldn't I be?" Richie said in confusion. Then bill points at the big bruise on Richies cheek with a little bit of dried blood on it. "Oh yeah that, yea I'm fine!" Richie said looking at bill with reassurance. Bill turned around and reunited with Stanley and Beverly. Richie grabs the rest of his stuff and heads to history class.
*TIME SKIP, AFTER SCHOOL. 4:30PM.*

Richie grabs his bike from the bike rack outside the school, sometimes after school he goes to hang out with his best friend. Before he goes to his friends house today he goes back to his house to drop off his book bag. Then Richie starts to ride his bike to where the fields and crops are and starts to ride on a dirt road. The dirt road goes up to a farm house, where the Mike residence is. "Richie my man!" Mike yells over to Richie, who is riding up the road coming up to the house. "Hey Mike, how've you been dude?" Richie yells back. "I'm alright! I got some other friends over, come up here you should meet them!" Mike says to Richie as he pulls up to the house and parks his bike on a tree. Richie walks up to where Mike is and sees bill and Beverly standing next to each other. Richie looks at bill, but bill is just lookin at the ground. It was silent for a moment, then Beverly breaks the silence. "I've heard your Name around. Your trash mouth right? I heard you cussed bowers out!" Beverly said to Richie, looking at the big bruise on his cheek. Mike hadn't notices the bruise on Richie until now. "Richie are you okay man?" Mike said concerned for Richie. "Yeah, why wouldn't it be?" Richie says with a bit of sarcasm. Mike just shrugs it off. There was a silence between the 4 teenagers. But that silence was broken. "Where is Stanley?" Mike says, breaking the silence. "Oh Stan? He is stuck at home. He wasn't aloud to come with us anywhere because his stupid fucking dad." Beverly says clearly pissed off at Stanley's dad.
