Afraid Of The Dark- Richie Tozier (IT)

Ben's House

"Do not freak out, just tell us" stan yells at Richie but I have no clue what they are talking about. I walk behind Bev who is the first to enter Ben's room.

"I heard he has a roller coaster and like a chimp and the bones of an old man!" Richie tells Eddie and Stan.

"Woah" I tell Ben as I admire all the articles he had taped on the wall. I walk over to one that has a ton of signatures on it.

"Yeah. Cool right?" Ben asks, proud of his work.

"No, no, nothing cool" Richie replies as I smack him.

"I think it's cool, this is all amazing!" I tell Ben with a smile.

"Oh, this is cool, oh wait nevermind" Richie says causing me to roll my eyes at him.

"What's this?" Stan asks as he stands beside me, pointing at the same paper I was looking at too.

"Yeah. What are all these signatures?" I ask.

"That? That's the charter for Derry Township" Ben informs us.

"Nerd alert" Richie states as he messes with his glasses, which causes me to smack him in the head.

"It's....interesting" I say as I continue to read the names that were signed.

"Derry started out as a beaver trapping camp" Ben continues to inform before Richie interrupted him again.

"Still is, am I right boys?!" Richie yelled as he turned to Eddie and Stan in hopes of a high-five which none of Henry returned. I quickly yank his arm down so Ben can continue.

"Ninety-one people signed the charter to make Derry a town. Later that winter, they all went missing without a trace." He tells us.

"The entire camp?" Eddie asks in disbelief.

"There were rumors of Indians but..." Ben tells us trailing off.
"But there was no signs of any attack" I finish for him.

"Everyone just thought it was a plague or something but it's like one day, everybody just got up and left. The only clue was a trail of bloody clothes leading to the Well House" Ben concludes telling us.

"Damn..." I say as I continue to observe more articles.

"W-where was the Well House?" Bill asks Ben.

"I don't know, somewhere in town I guess. Why?" Ben asks bill.

"Nothing." Bill replies as he continues to look around.

We all then decide it was time to leave bens house.

We all go outside to our bikes and I grab my skateboard from Richie's bike as he pulls it right side up.

"Hey, don't forget that I still need to get my stuff from you house" I tell him smiling.

"Yeah. Okay" he tells me, returning the favor.
We then take off towards our houses.

Once we got to our houses, Richie started off to his house and I turn to his house as well. I run in and get my stuff from his room.

"Thanks for letting me spend the night" I tell him.

"You're welcome, anytime" he tells me.

I then pull him into a hug. After a little while, I pull away though.

"I have to go, my mom is Home, saw her car" I tell him.

"Okay. If you need anything, I'm right across the road." He tells me with a smile.

"I know, bye Rich" I tell him smiling as I walk away. He grabs my wrist and turns me around, our faces inches apart. He lightly pressed his lips to mine and I quickly react, kissing him back.

"Bye Zoey" He tells me after we pull away. I was blushing like crazy.

Zoey rushes home, oblivious to the boy watching her through the window. They both loved each other, but it was never a topic they talked about. Zoey got home and saw her mom in the kitchen with her head down on the table.

Agahdhdb. I'm trying to find the right moment for them to confess to eachother and I just think that time isn't right yet.
