I leaned my head on the car window watching as everything I've ever known pass by. Then, we passed Richie's house. Tears began to collect in my eyes. I couldn't control myself. I buried my face in my pillow as the tears drifted down my face and I drifted away into sleep. Next thing I know I'm walking through the airport, my mom clutching my hand. This place is way bigger than I thought. So many people. So many germs. Everyone is going somewhere, shoving others out of the way. Shit, I feel a panic attack coming on. My hands start to sweat so I shift closer to my mom and grip her hand tighter. Now I'm shaking. "Eddie" my mom noticed how freaked out I was "calm down, you're fine. We'll be on the plane soon."
        I took a deep breath in as I strapped myself into the seat. Just a few minutes passed and the plane began to move. I squeezed my eyes shut and tried to think only of my breathing. The plane was now picking up speed, the wheels jumping up. After I felt a weird drop in my stomach, I peeked out the window and saw the fading figure of Derry. I guess this is goodbye.

We've been in Formsford for 7 months now. This place is an utter hell hole. It's a small little town in the Middle-of-Nowhere, Missouri. But, hey, at least it's affordable!
School is a nightmare. I don't know how to fit in. The kids either pick on me or try to flirt with me. Luckily, sophomore year is almost over. I've tried to be a normal 16 year old (and get my mind off Richie). There was this one girl, Lucy. She was the only genuine person I'd met here. She flirted with me so I decided I'd try and ask her out. It was kind of my mom's idea though. She thought it'd 'help me adapt'. Not a good idea.
