Chapter 3 and Chapter 4

Chapter 3- Beer
Hello again, it's been nine days since I've moved in, my parents haven't let me outside at all, well they haven't let me go downstairs either, just in my bedroom or to the washroom down the hall. I sat on the stairs one day and heard them talking, my mother was saying how she didn't want me and my father was agreeing, the only reason they still have me is for the money. They have been trying to have a daughter but every time she gets pregnant, she has a miscarriage, they say it's my fault but I don't get how it is.
Tomorrow is my first day at my new school and I'm pretty excited, but at the same time, very scared. This is a secret but singing is something that helps me calm down, my parents banned me from singing because if I am going to be a boy I have to act like it, and singing is too girly and annoying. Ugh, I just wish they'd let me out of this house.
"Richie dear, can you come down stairs for a second?" My mother yelled "Yes mom!" I replied. One thing about my mother is that sometimes she will be nice to me and sometimes she just acts nice when she wants something.
I went downstairs for the first time since we moved in, it looked a lot different. "What did you need mom?" I asked as I walked into the living room, I saw my father so I knew they needed something, "could you get some beer from the store for us?" My mother asked "what if they don't allow me to buy it? I'm underaged." I explained "This isn't the city, they allow children to, just bring this note with you." My father demanded "Ok" I replied. I grabbed the note and money that my mother gave me, I put my shoes on and started walking to the store.
People may be wondering how I know where I'm going, that is because I know my parents would have asked me, so I did research on where the beer store was. I also know where the school and grocery store is.
I continued to walk, I noticed a couple kids that looked around my age, I also saw that mullet guy again, I saw him chasing this boy that had blonde, curly hair, I heard the mullet guy yell that he was Jewish so that's another thing I know. I have this notebook that I write stuff in (mostly about people) I'm a pretty good artist so I also drew what they looked like. The Jew boy looked pretty cool, he was pretty fast too.. Maybe that's the key, you have to be fast to live.. Well I'm pretty fast so I'll be fine. I hope. When I got to the beer store I saw a bunch of adults, that's the most adults I've seen in this town so far. But I also saw a couple kids. There was this girl with red, curly hair, she looked like she'd be cool, she also looked my age, I heard her father call her Beverly, so I think that's her name. I'll sketch her later. I also saw this boy... He was pretty small and looked scared of everything, he was kind of pretty though... Wait what the fuck am I thinking? I've never had those thoughts about ANYONE and I'm not going to have them now. I grabbed some beer and went up to the cashier.
"Aren't you a little young?" The cashier asked "My parents want it, they are at home." I explained "Well if you have the money you can have the beer, if not, get lost." The cashier said. "Don't worry, I have the money" I explained and then paid him. He looked a little surprised, but he gave me the beer and I walked back to my house. I drew the Beverly girl and the scared boy. I'll have to figure out more stuff about them. I also figured out that the mullet guy is named Henry Bowers, he is the town bully I guess. He has failed his classes about three times so far. People say he may not be academically smart but when it comes down to finding his victims he's like Einstein, so the thing is to try to be on his good side or be fast enough to run. Henry isn't the most sporty person and he doesn't run that much, but he can corner you. He knows this town very well.
Once I got home I gave my parents their beer and went back to my room.
I decided to do a little more editing on my sketches (turning them from sketches into drawings)
After about 3 hours I finished Henry, I also wanted to write a song, Henry gave me a bunch of ideas. I still need a LOT of other ideas though, sadly.
I checked the time and it was 10:00 pm, I decided to go to bed

(I was in my car for a while so I'm also making this one a two part chapter (Chapter 3 and Chapter 4) so I hope you enjoy it!)

Chapter 4- Meeting a girl
I got up at about 7:00 am to my parents fighting, I packed my bag, I showered, I got changed and then I made some toast. I put my shoes on and at 7:45 am, I was walking to school. Today I was wearing a gray shirt and a black sweater, I was wearing some jeans and I had blue nike's. My backpack was a dark blue one. I grabbed my phone to figure out how long I had until I had to be at school, I had until 8:15 am. I got to school at 8:00 am, so I had fifteen minutes left. I decided to just draw some people I saw. There weren't that many people around though so I didn't have that much of an option. I drew some trees instead, I'd probably find someone to draw later and I'll draw them in front of the trees. I pulled my pencil crayons out and decided to color that Beverly girl.
It had been about five minutes, when I heard, "Wow, you can draw really well!" A girl said, I turned to see the Beverly girls "oh uh thank you?" I responded "Is that supposed to be me?" She asked "yeah, I saw you at the beer store yesterday with your father. I'm sorry I didn't ask first but you seemed like a cool person." I explained "oh no, you're fine! What other drawings do you have?" Beverly asked "Sit down and I'll show you" I answered. Beverly sat beside me and I showed her my drawings.

Pretend that one is coloured

Pretend Stan isn't coloured and no words.

I found those on Pinterest, like the authors and the photos!!

"Woah!! YOU'RE AMAZING!!! You need to enter an art contest." Beverly explained. "I'm not that good." I said "Yes you are! You're like the best drawer I've met! And Bill is a really good artist too, but you're definitely better! Don't tell him I said that though" Beverly explained "Well I don't even know him so it would be hard to tell him." I said and laughed a little "I could get him to meet you. Wait what's your name? I'm Beverly, but my friends call me Bev!" Beverly explained "Oh, I'm Richie, Richie Tozier"

That's all for now, I'll write more when I'm on the bus. Byeeee
