NEXT DAY.......

Eddie's Prov.

We all got ready for school and walked out the door. Bill seemed better, so that's good. We all walked to school. Mike and Beverly were the only odd people in the group. They had Ben. But... not anymore.. Richie and I held hands while walking in through the gate. As usual. People would stare. People stared at Bill and Stan too. We quietly walked near Stan, Richie, and My English class. Thats the normal meeting spot. We all missed school yesterday... there isn't THAT much homework.. right? I looked up at Richie and he smiled. We saw someone walking by us and I recognized the girl. El. She gave me and Richie a nasty look. I stuck my tongue at her and she got pissed off and stormed off. I chuckling as watching after her. Her two friends Max and Will walked with her. I rolled my eyes. "She's a bitch. Don't worry about her." Richie said, turning me around to face them. I smirked and sat down, waiting for the bell to ring. "I just hope there isn't that much homework.." Stan said while looking towards the classroom. "Yeah I was just thinking about that." Looking up at him as I responded. He had his hand on Bill's shoulder as he sat on the planter box. Stan was the only one standing. He looked stressed, He stopped and froze, looking at a paper on the wall. "You okay Stan?" Richie said. He got up and walked to the paper and ripped it off. He looked at it and sighed while putting his face in his hand. I walked over there, Beverly and Mike closely followed, leaving Richie with Bill. "What is it St-." I started to say as I read the paper. "Another kid missing.." I mumbled. I leaned against the wall and sighed as i rubbed my eyes. Beverly's eyes widened and she looked down at the ground. Mike sighed and walked back to Bill and Richie.

Richie's Prov.

"Hey do you know what's going on?" Bill asked. "No. I don't." Frowning at Eddie, Beverly, and Mike. Mike walked over here and sat down. "What's go-." Mike interrupted me. "Just go look." He said. I got up and walked over there. I froze and frowned as I read the paper. "So Eddie. Where did you say this thing lives?" I asked, facing him. "Oh. At the sewer, or at the abandoned and destroyed house." He said closing his mouth. "Okay. Let's go." I said grabbing Stan's, Eddie's and Beverly's hands. "What are you doing? We can't just leave school. And besides. What about Bill and Mike? We can't just leave them." Stan said, pulling away from me, walking towards Mike and Bill. Beverly also pulled back. "What? Are we just going to walk to that house and kill IT?" She asked me. "Yeah, basically" I said. "What would we even kill it with?!" She yelled. She sighed and sat down. I looked over and Stan, Bill and Mike walked over to us. Eddie smirked and continued to hold my hand. I smirked back and we both laughed. "I do kinda want to go Richie, to stop this thing. But I don't want to lose you..." Eddie said, a sad expression on his face. "You won't lose me. I don't want to lose you either." I said, bringing him into a Hug. He hugged me back tightly. "Now let's go kill my mom!" He yelled, laughing at his own joke. Oh my he is so adorable. "Okay let's go." Beverly said walking in front. We all followed her as we walked to the abandoned house. We finally got there and stood in front of it and looked at Eddie and he looked nervous. I grabbed his hand and he smiled. We walked in, all of us with flashlights.

Everyone's Prov.

We looked around and Richie saw a paper in a whole bunch of branches. He walked towards it and his eyes were wide. Eddie saw his expression and walked to him. "It says I'm missing." Richie said. Eddie looked at the paper. Bill then walked over too. "It's not real." Bill said, taking the paper. "That's my name, that's my face, that's my clothes, that's my fa-!" Bill interrupted him. "It's not real. ITs just trying to scare us. It's not real. Your not missing." Bill said. Eddie hugged him. "It's okay" He said. Richie hugged him back. "Can someone help me please?" A voice said from upstairs. Beverly, Mike, and Stanley heard. Stanley looked back at Bill, Eddie, and Richie. He walked to them as Beverly and Mike went to go towards a voice. "Guys. We need to go with Beverly and Mike." Stan said, all of their hands. They all followed Stan up the stairs and heard the voice too. "Benny?" Richie asked as he got up there. "Is it Benny?" Bill asked him. "Yeah I can tell by her voice" he explained. Richie then flashed his flashlight under his face to look scary. "Hey Eddie Spaghetti" He said smiling. Eddie turned and jumped at Richie's trick. "Don't scare me like that! And don't call me Eddie Spaghetti!" Eddie yelled at him. "Okay" Richie said. He faced the flashlight forward and then smiled at Eddie. Eddie smiled back and quickly pecked him on the cheek. Richie smiled and they continued to walk up the stairs. They followed Bill and Stanley and saw Beverly and Mike kissing. We all stood in shock and they noticed. "It's a long story." Beverly said while splitting apart. Mike blushed and waved nervously. The losers all laughed and then went back to the task. "That was Benny Robson." Richie said going in the lead. "How do you know?" Beverly asked. "I knew her in me and Eddie's class. I know what her voice sounds like. She sounds like she's in pain tho. They all followed Richie into a room where they heard the noise. But they didn't know what was coming.
