Five Boys

"Aw come on Rich it can't be so bad," Beverly says as she walks along side the taller boy into Derry Middle School.

"I'm telling you it is! The fucking asshat can't go sixteen hours without telling me I'm a disappointment or telling my mom I'm a disappointment. It's fucking annoying," He groans.

"You fuckers! You left me behind!" Eddie comes up behind the two, hitting Richie's backpack.

"Y-Y-You f-fucking l-l-left m-me th-the fir-first day!" Bill says, referring to sixth grade, when Eddie walked in with Richie instead of Bill. Bill was supposed to walk in with Stan, but he was late. Which was odd for him, but he wasn't feeling good. He never really is.

"It's not my fault Stanley decided to abandon us!" Eddie argues.

"Oi! Can't we be civilized lads here?" Richie says in an odd accent, and both boys shake their heads.

"I'm right here guys!" Stan says, walking up to their group and making it five.

"Stan the Man!" Richie exclaims, throwing an arm around the shorter boy and slightly messing up his hair.

"How's it goin' Stanny?" Bev asks, smiling at him.

Stanley looks frantic. Ever since fifth grade when he told Bill he was gay, Stan has become hysterical. He is in a constant state of panic and stress, due to ocd and anxiety. And much of this is relieved around his friends, so the boy breaks into a smile.

"Eh it's okay. I got math for first," He groans.

"Seriously?" Bev groans at the thought.

"Yeah. Fucking sucks."

"What about lunch?" Bev asks.

"A-All of eh-eight-eighth grade has lunch t-t-together," Bill says.

"Great. So where do we sit?" Eddie asks.

"We'll f-f-figure it out," Bill shrugs.

"Yeah," Stan sighs.

"Ah fuck I have English," Richie groans, looking up from his schedule.

"S-S-Same here. See ya St-Stan," Bill turns and kisses Stan on the cheek, knowing that Bowers won't jump out from a corner, seeing as he's finally in high school. Stan smiles like a madman, because even after he said he didn't like him anymore, Stan is completely enticed by Bill Denbrough.

"Hey Eddie you got social studies, right?" Bev asks.

"Nope, science. See ya," He turns down the next hall.

"Have fun, Bev," Stan smiles sarcastically and heads to his math class.

In fifth grade, Beverly Marsh joined what has been deemed by the whole school and possible the whole city, the Losers Club. Currently there are five members :

The leading lady herself, Beverly Marsh. She's a taller girl, taller than Eddie and Stan, but could never reach Richie's height if she tried. Her hair was cut just this summer, when Richie got gum stuck in her hair and she just cut it all off. Her hair falls just short of her neck, curling to frame her freckled face. Her blue eyes always twinkle, because ever since she became friends with the Losers, she just can't stop smiling.

Bill Denbrough, who has grown just an inch within two years. His hair has turned a dark red, and he's changed quite a bit. He's figured out that maybe he likes boys and girls, and he's accepted himself. He hasn't told anyone yet, considering he's not absolutely sure. He has built a stronger bond with his little brother, Georgie, and even stronger ones with his friends. Bill Denbrough is truly happy, and he hasn't worn makeup since sixth grad.
