It's been a month and no one has talked to each other since our fight. Besides me and Stanley of course.
I sat back In my bed and flicked through my sketchbook and saw the missing poster
Holy fuck.
I had forgotten about the missing poster and I guess I'm grateful. I should have told everyone about the poster the day I found it at the quarry... I was just too scared. I replayed the thoughts of my encounter with 'IT' and scared my self. I throw the paper on the floor and tried to think of something. Anything to distract me from 'IT'
Stanley
I was supposed to be visiting Stan tonight, he was grounded but we tried to plan around it. Meet outside his house by 10. Though seeing him was a lot harder due to his actions at the bar mitzvah (him causing a big scene) his father punished him to read the Torah every night with his watchful eye ready to correct Stan of any mistakes. But, even with Stan being grounded he still was my only distraction I needed to get my mind off 'IT'
After the fight outside Eddie's house, Stanly and I talked. We talked about many things but the big discussion was us drifting. Us losing each other to which I reassured him it wasn't going to happen. I wouldn't let that happen. I was happy, we were happy. We were going to be fine. Right?

I lost my thought when I heard a tapping sounds coming from my window. The small window was above my bed and with the curtains closed I couldn't understand the noise that came from it. Quickly I got up, feet either side to balance myself on the small bed frame as I pushed back the fabric and look to the boy who had caused such a 'stir' his smile grew, rocks in either hand read to throw another to get my attention. Nice one idiot
"What on earth are you doing lover boy?" I ask, looking down at him from my second-floor house
"I have bird treats and even some food for us. What do you say we have a picnic in the woods?" My heart felt like it fluttered a thousand miles per hour as I nodded my head and ran down to see Stanley Uris waiting at the front door.

We traveled down to the woods and went off track to my secret spot.
"Isn't this where we saw you... skinny dipped?" Stan asked, cheeks turning red
"Yeah..." I said awkwardly laughing
"How about we swim then watch the birds?" I say turning around to face him
"I didn't bring suitable clothing," Stan says, placing the basket filled with food for us and the birds on the ground
"You have underwear on.... right?" I ask
"Well yeah, but what if something bad happens like we get caught?"
"Stan we aren't doing anything illegal. Come on 'Stan the man' it's summer. It's time to cooooool off" I smile at Stan as I take my black skirt off in one swift motion, and white and blue buttoned shirt off with a few tugs. Finally, when feeling my skin exposed to the bright sun I walk towards the water.
