Mike let out a deep breath, his eyes watching the girl as the two stared at eachother. She was pretty to Mike. She had a round, pinkish face, showing her round, innocent eyes and stubby nose. Her curly, brown hair looked messy with her large clothes, but it seemed to work well with her appearance. She looked strong, but also in fear from her brown eyes staring at him like she knew something. He could smell the dank smell of the sewers from just through the entrance, the smell was dank and musty, as if they were at those weird bathrooms that were used for camping.
All six of them stood near the entrance of the sewers. They all seemed to be tense, almost in worry about what they were going to see. The girl turned her body around, her flashlight lighting the way as the boys stayed silent. Richie pulled out a lighter, helping to light the darkness of the sewers as all of them entered inside. Mike went right behind her, then Bill, Stan, Eddie, and Richie, who had pulled out his lighter to help with the light.
At first, Mike couldn't see much, the darkness made his pupils struggle to get use to the darkness, but after a few seconds, he could see more clearly. "Ev-Everybody grab on-onto eachother," Bill said, his voice quiet and calm as they were surrounded by the darkness of the sewers. Mike could feel Bill's gentle hand on his shoulder, making Mike flinch at the impact. "S-Sorry," Bill replied quietly to Mike.
"It's fine," Mike replied, placing his hand on the girl's shoulder slowly. The girl winced at the touch, almost going to turn her body around, but she just moved her head, staring into his dark eyes.
"Sorry," He whispered to the girl, feeling his cheeks heat up from embarrassment. The girl just looked at him before turning her head around and continuing to walk in the lead. All of them stayed quiet for a few minutes, walking with their hands on someone's shoulder except for Richie, who was in the back.
"I hope that we don't need to go into grey water," Eddie mumbled, his voice echoing through the sewers.
"What the hell is grey water?" Richie asked in pure confusion. Mike could almost see Richie's eyebrows furrowed just like his aunt would do.
"Grey water is all the disgusting excess from the toilet," Stan replied in a tone that said "Are you stupid?"
"Well, it doesn't smell like it at all, Eds,"
"Don't call me that!" Eddie hissed in annoyance, making Mike almost feel like the boy was going to slap Richie in the face.
"But seriously though," Richie said in a serious voice, silencing their discussion. "It doesn't smell like that at all."
"May-Maybe because we-we're close to the en-entrance that we can-can't smell that much," Bill implied.
"No." The girl said, making the boys shocked by her voice. She hadn't spoken at all through the entire discussion and yet it felt like she had from her quiet voice. "If we go deeper it will be bad,"
