"I fall in love with boys I see on a TV screen
The ones in books who are as perfect as they can be
I spend all of my time imagining
What it would be like if they existed
My parents tell me I should look for one in real life
But I get let d...

"She's you"
Life as a kid was easy. Actually no it wasn't especially growing up in Derry, where bullying was like an all-time enjoyment here for a lot of people. Of course, when high school came around you would think things would mellow out but no I was wrong.
I always kept my head down and just went about doing my own thing. As much as I could at least. I had my fair share of bullies but eventually, even a bully needs to find a new victim. I was walking out the school doors when I noticed Henry Bowers and his little gang picking on these boys.
I shared a few classes with them but never truly spoke to any of them. I just knew they all stuck together through everything. True friends really.
I noticed Henry was about to walk away after bullying the boys only for Bill to stand up and say something. Truly I feel for Bill his little brother went missing and still no sign of him.
I notice Henry getting pissed and once again going back to bullying the boys so I walked over "Having fun Bowers?"
The boys look at me while Bowers rolls his eyes "Go away Sage" he then ignores me and turns to Bill licks his hand then drags the hand across Bill's face.
Henry then walks away with his boys and gets in their car "Bullys, truly are just sad... sad human beings" I comment taking out a piece of gum and throwing it into my mouth. I then look over and notice the group of boys looking at me shocked that a girl was talking to them. "What?"
"Nuh-nuh-nothing" Bill commented with a bit of gulp as he looked at me.
I shrug my shoulders and start to walk away only for the group to randomly start following me like I had just been accepted into there friend group. Richie was first to speak "So how come Henry didn't bully you for talking to him?"
"Cause he's bored with me. I gave him no reaction for all the times he would bully me. Why cause I got bigger problems to worry about than a boy that will peak in high school" I sigh as I walk in the direction of my house. "My question for you guys is why do you give him so much of a reaction?"
Eddie finally speaks I look over at him studying him slightly noticing how nervous he seemed he couldn't even look me in the eye as he spoke "He's scary"
I arch a brow at that comment and shake my head with a roll of my eyes "Sure" I then notice a turn I need to take and turn around making the boy come to a stop "Well it's been a nice small little chat but I'll be off on my own now" I then turn and walk off on my own.

I was on a small bike ride through town deciding I wanted to go to the quarry. When I arrived it was quiet and peaceful. Days like these seem rare in a town like this. I set my bike against a tree and walk over to a cliff looking down at the lake. I then walked away and went down to the beach side of the quarry and sat in the sand.
