It seemed as if the first day of summer was never coming to an end for Jodi, seeing that once she stepped out of the entrance of the middle school, her eyes were met with the infamous Henry Bowers and his gang of hooligans tormenting four boys below their grade.
Henry Bowers, a name that could make almost anyone who knew what he was capable of, flinch. He was the son of the town's cop, who was just as wicked and corrupt. Henry wasn't afraid to let his rough fist coming in contact with anyone's nose with much force, he wasn't afraid to whip out his pocket knife and do as much as graze the skin of those who oppose him. He wouldn't think twice to physically and emotionally harrass those who he deemed as weak and frail, those who were younger, smaller, or different of him.
Jodi had always despised him far more than the little to no fear she had of him, for he was no one but a crazy bully who ruined anything he touched. But what made her loathe the boy the most, was that he had his fingers wrapped around her brother, drawing him in and turning him to be one of them.
Lucas had always had the rebellious side in him, doing stupid and funny little things and adventures that made him, Lucas. But it had never been unleashed and set to be wilding out, as long as their father was alive. So a week after his passing, in a ruined and hopeless state of mourning, Henry didn't offer him his sympathy to be a nice boy respecting a broken family of a dead respectful man.
He did it to lure her rebellious, reckless, brother in his dangerous time of mourning, while stepping into adulthood angrily, thinking the world was just a cruel place he was desperate to get away from. And Henry, gave him the toxic distraction.
And in that moment, she wished her eyes were playing tricks on her, but they weren't. For as much as she pushed the thought away, Lucas was just like them, and as of that moment, was taking part in teasing the four boys known as "The Losers Club."
Jodi used to not care much about them, but last year, when the crazy epidemic of missing children started, she started setting her eyes on them each time she walked past them or see them from a distance. For Bill Denbrough, their leader, suffered from the loss of little Georgie, his younger brother. She started to observe them, and she realized the strong bond they had was something she longed for. To have someone, and to not feel alone. She also noticed, that the "Loser" title they had wasn't something they were ashamed of, but something they praised, like some sort of badge they wore proudly.
Bill Denbrough was the glue, keeping them together and leading his gang through their days. Richie Tozier was the comic relief, the comedian that brought the light to everything. Eddie Kaspbrak was the timid, yet logical thinker, who kept everyone in their ground before they mindlessly jumped to the dark abyss.
