After that whole bowers thing we decided to go to the barrens and look for Georgie.
(At the barrens)
"That's poison ivy.... and that's poison ivy.... and that's poison ivy" Stan said while pointing at some regular bushes.
"Not every fucking plant is poison ivy Stanley" Richie said matter-of-factly
"Stan its just bushes" i said trying to not make them fight.
Bill and Richie walked into the barrens and looked around for any traces of Georgie.
"Aren't you guys coming in?" Richie said
"Uh uh that's grey water" eddie said while sniffing the air then gagging
"What the hell is grey water?" Richie asked confused
"It's basically piss and shit so I'm just telling you... I don't want to be messing around in that" eddie said looking at the dirty water.
"Yeah sorry rich I don't want to be stepping in shit" I said shrugging my shoulders.
While they are arguing about who's coming in and who not bill found a shoe and held it up which this caused Richie and Stan to pay attention and see what's going on.
"Oh s-shit don't tell me that's.." Stan said then getting cut off by bill
"No Georgie wore galoshes" bill said looking at the shoe then turning it over to reveal a name.
"It's Betty rimsons" Richie said
"Ohhh shit oh fuck I'm sorry I don't want to end up like..... I don't want to go missing either" eddie said not wanting to hurt bills feelings.
"If I was Betty I would want some body to find me" I said sadly
"How do you think Betty feels running around these tunnels in only on freckin shoe" Richie said in a joking way while jumping on one foot.
Splash!
A cubby boy fell on the watery rocks outside all cut up and bruised.
"Holy shit what happened to you" Richie said
(Just arrived at mr keenes shop)
"My mums friend got aids from touching a pole in the subway" eddie said looking scared
"Shut up eddie he's not going to die and you won't get aids from helping someone" I said getting annoyed at him for rambling about shit that's not important.
"Hot stuff I like this side of you" Richie said while smirking
"I'm just getting irritated.. sorry Ed's"
The losers arrived at the shop and told Richie to stay and look after Ben while they go and get the surplus.
"Glad I got to meet you before you died" Richie said while looking at the poor boy.
(In the store)
Beverly was in the lady's section trying to figure out what she needs because she got her first period. After looking back and forth she chose some Tampax and left the section to be met with Greta the bitch that bully's her in the next isle so she quietly and quickly ran over to the next isle and was met with the boys and ruby so she quickly shoved the box behind her back.
"A-are you o-okay" bill said politely
"I'm fine.... what are you doing" Beverly asked nervously
"None of your business" said Stan
Ruby nugged him to stop him from being rude to the girl.
"Our friend out there looks like he's about to die... we are trying to help him but we don't have enough money to buy the stuff to fix him up" eddie said
"I can help.. we I give you guys a signal you run out of the store okay" Beverly said nicely.
"I'll help you...." ruby said waiting for the girl to tell her, her name
"Beverly marsh"
"Ruby rose"
The girls went up to the counter
"Mr Keene did I ever tell you that you look just like Clarke Kent" Beverly said in a flirty way which made me want to vomit.
"Oh I don't know about that" he said
"Can I try them on" I said while fluttering my eye lashes trying to get that full effect.
"Um sure" he said while handing over his glasses 
I tried them on then gave them to bev to try on
"Wow would you look at that you look just like Lewis lane" he said while staring at Beverly in a creepy 'I'm going to kill you' type of way.
Beverly gave him his glasses back but made sure to knock down a display shelf down to distract him for a bit. Then gave the boys the signal to run out with the stuff.
"I'm so so sorry mr Keene" Beverly said
"That's all right" he said then bent down to grab the stuff and in that time Beverly grabbed a pack of cigarettes and put them in her pocket.
We then got out of the shop I quickly ran off to see if bens okay while Bev and bill have a little staring moment.
" how are you feeling Ben" I said while looking at the cuts
"I'm fine now thank you" Ben said shyly
"Okay get the rubbing alcohol for me please they are in my second fanny pack" eddie said while lifting bens shirt to see the terrible cut.
"Why do you have two fanny packs" I said laughing
"Shut up and just grab them" he said while being triggered
After eddie fixed him up we all got on our bikes to go home.
"Can I take you home I don't want you to go missing" Richie say while smiling
"Yes thank you Richie"
On the way to Ruby's house which is a couple of houses down from Richies
"Okay this is it" I said smiling
"Bye grace I'll pick you up tomorrow for the quarry.... and ruby be careful"
"Will do rich...." I said and gave him a kiss on the cheek and left him blushing
