 4. August❀ age 6 -7 

Richie watched curiously from the porch, as a unfamiliar truck pulled up on the house, which had previously owned by Sonia Kaspbrak. 

Richie gripped the railing as he saw how a man, a woman and a boy stepped out of the car. Richie figured they were a family. The woman had a curvy stomach, due to the reason that she was pregnant. The boy had brownish/reddish hair, light freckles across his cheeks and nose, he had blue eyes, long, fluttering eye lashes, blushed cheeks and an old flannel threw over his shoulder. 

"Oh those must be the new neighbors" Richie flinched at the sound coming from behind him. 

"They're in Eddie's house..." Richie pouted and looked up at his mother. 

"It's not his house anymore, Richie dear" Maggie kneed down, an apple pie in her hands. 

"it'll always be Eddie's house" Richie pouted, turning back to the family next door, which were unpacking their boxes from the car. 

"Go and say hello. i made them this apple pi-" 

"Why can't you go?" Richie asked. 

"Because I'd like you to get to know that boy over there...you know eddie can't be your only friend...and besides, I have a lot to do today. I can meet them later" 

Richie groaned and took the boy. 

"Alright, top top" Maggie tapped RIchie's butt and the boy with the glasses began walking towards the house. He swallowed as he came closer, noticing the boy about his age, alone by the car, trying to lift up one box. 

Richie took a deep breath and walked to the boy. "Hi" 

The new boy turned around in a flash, a scared look on his face. 

"Sorry to scare ya" Richie smiled a little, noticing how scared the boy had got. 

The boy blushed a little and looked deep in Richie's eyes. 

"I'm Richie Tozier. From next door" the boy with the glasses grinned. 

"Ih-Ih-I'm Buh-Buh-Buh-Bill Duh-Duh-Denb-b-brough" the boy said. 

Richie's eyes widened at the boy's stutter, but decided not to say anything. 

"So...my mom made this apple pie and made me to come here and give it to you...so...here, I guess" Richie gave the pie to Bill's hands. 

Bill took it and inhaled the warm smell of it. "It's s-s-smells duh-duh-delicious" 

"Billy! Are you gonna get that box or do I have to come and help?" a man appeared on the porch, eyes widening a bit as he saw Richie standing next to Bill. 

"Hello there?" the man said, a bit hesitant. He walked closer and Richie saluted him. "Hello mr Denbrough. I'm Richie Tozier from that house over there" Richie pointed at his house. 

"Richie Tozier..well..nice to meet you" mr Denbrough smiled a little and shook richie's hand. 

mr Denbrough, better known just as Zack, took the box, what  bill had to take and left the two boys talking.
