WAR AND PEACE
( CHAPTER THREE )1989
The last bell of 8th grade rings for the losers. Everyone is freaking out as they leave the room.
"So Stan, how does yo-your Bat m-m-Mitzvah w-work?" Bill asks as Stan after he catches up with them "I heard they cut the top thing of your trumpet" Eddie says "No, well... I read some verses of the Tora and suddenly I become a man"
"There are billionth of more ways to become a man-" Richie says, shutting up when they pass by where Bowers' gang leans agaisnt the lockers.
"Do you think he'll sign my yearbook? 'Dear Richie, sorry for taking a hot steamy dump in your backpack last March'" Richie jokes before a Gretta Keene bumpts into Stan.
A few lockers away is Jennifer taking all her stuff out her locker. Which means: jacket and a cassette.
Richie adjust his glasses. Stan elbowed him "What the fuck?! I'm not doing anything except for, insinuating your girlfriend's, and my best friend, a hot piece of ass"
"Dude, that's Jennifer you're talking about. Which means you're talking about your best friend. And my girlfriend, so shut the fuck up" Stan might think Richie isn't joking, but he is.
Thats Richie's and Jen's thing, saying stupid things they're friends would think that are true.
She joins them and walks next to Richie "You're up for Street Fighter, right?" He asks her.
"Hell yeah" She says hi-fiying him before they went out te building.
"Best feeling ever" Stan says as they, except for his girlfriend, throw all their stuff to the trashcans before hanging their backpacks over their shoulders again.
"Yeah? Try tickling your pickle for the first time" Jennifer elbows Richie
"Shut up"
"So what you guys have planned for summer?" Eddie asks
"We already told you, Eds-" Sophie begins and Richie finishes her sentence:
"Practice for Street Fighter"
"Seriously, you guys wanna spend summer playing a stupid game?"
Richie sighs "Beats being inside your mom" he raised his hand waiting for Stan to high five him, but he pulled Richie's arm down.
"W-we can go t-to the b-b-barrens" Bill suggests before they follow Eddie's stare to Betty Ripsom's mom.
"Does she really expect to see Betty walking out with the rest of us?" Ed asks.
"As if she isn't dead or something" Richie says making his best friend steps on his feet. He looks at her and mouths 'What the fuck'.
"S-she isn't de-dead" Bill says making Richie and Jen looked at him.
"R-right, she's lost. Sorry, Bill" Richie apologizes before Patrict Hockstetter pushes him making Jennifer fall making Stan fall behind me.
She stands up quickly and gives Richie his glasses then reaches for Stan's kippa, Hockstetter grabs it instead and throws it to a departing bus "There goes your frisbee, freak nest"
This guy, Victor, pushes the blonde's back making her fall again. Stan stands up quickly trying to go and hit him but she stopped him.
"What a waste of woman" says one of the older boys making the other laugh. Before they start to leave, Belch burps in front of Eddie's face making him gag. Henry Bowers snickers walking towards Bill.
"You had luck this year, Denbrough. I let it pass cause of your little brother, but this summer is gonna be hell for you and your faggot friends" he points at Jen "And slut" before walking away.
Bill says furiously "Y-y-you s-suck, B-Bowers!"
Bowers turned around slowly mocking Bill "D-d-d-did y-you say some-something, B-b-billy?" He licks his hand before sliding it down on Bill's face.
The losers watched them leave. Jennifer flipped them off knowing they wouldn't notice. Someone grabs her other hand tightly and she turns his head to find Stan.
"Are you ok? Are you sure you're ok? We shouldn't had stayed that long, those idiots-"
"Stan" she cutted him off. He looks at her "I'm fine, we're fine, ok, just chill"
"I just thought-"
"Oh my god, Stanley, she's ok! And so are we, thanks for asking" Eddie says quickly.
They start walking towards the bike racks "Yeah, the barrens sound cool, walking around in shitty water" Richie blurts out.
The couple stay behind, their hands together and fingers interwinded.
"A-are you sure, you're ok?" She looks at him raising a brow then looks back in front. "I'm serious, Jen, you're not hurt?"
The girl sighs "Yeah, I'm fine, just— relieved nothing serious got to happen. Thanks for asking, but the others might have gotten jealous"
"We heard that—"
"And thats not true"
"Weh-weh-we're n-ot je-jealous"
She rolls her eyes playfully as they catch up with them "Shut up"
Richie's eyes lightened up "I don't shut up, I grow up, and when I look at you I throw up" he said before pretending to puke. His friends laughed a little confused.
"Oooh, so thats what you meant the other day"
"Are you serious? That, was what ut was all about. Thats all the 'suspense'?"
"Jesus, Stan, take it easy"
"Yeah, Stanny, take it easy"
"Don't get—" he begins before Jennifer kissed his cheek shutting him up and making his eyes widen in embarrasment "Jen, what the fu—"
"Take it easy, Stanny"
"I hate all of you"
