i woke up to loud banging on my door which really annoyed me. i threw my blanket back and walked to the door to see the one and only Richie Tozier standing there smiling. i rolled my eyes and walked back to my bed before he quickly grabbed my arm. "Richie stop." i whined. "everyone is waiting on us though." he said before letting go of my arm and looking me up and down. i sighed and walked over to my closet before i heard a voice from behind me, "nice shorts." he said with a smirk. i rolled my eyes and said, "oh can it Rich." before grabbing clothes out of my closet. "now stay in here and don't make a sound. i'm going to go take a shower and if my brother knows you're in here he would most likely kill both of us. okay?" i said before grabbing the shorts on my floor. "i could take one with you?" he replied, winking. i rolled my eyes and said,"don't. make. a. sound." and walked out of my bedroom and into my bathroom.

i sat on her bed and then heard the water turn on. i sighed and laid back on her bed just listening to ever creek and crack i heard. i looked over at the small table next to her bed and saw the same book from the day before. i looked at the door and then back over at the book again before deciding it would be better not to touch it. i sighed and stood up looking at the different things around the room including pictures, paintings and sketches. i reached her desk and found a small frame with a picture of her and another girl in it but the longer i looked at it the weirder the girl's face got. the more i looked at it she started looking a bit like a...clown? i know it sounds crazy but try being there and looking at it. i finally turned my head over to the other side of the desk and faced picture the opposite way from me. i sighed and then saw a few sketches sitting in front of me. i began looking through them when i heard the door open slowly. i completely froze praying to God himself that it wasn't her brother. "Rich? what are you doing?" i heard Caroline say from behind me. i sighed in relief finding out who it was, "Caroline! hi!" i said before turning around and smiling. "what were you doing?" she asked, confused. "i um was looking at these sketches. they're really good." i smiled. she smiled back and looked down blushing a little. "w-wait are these yours?!" i asked a bit in shock. she nodded and smiled before grabbing a small black tube off the dresser, looked in the mirror and started putting it on her eyelashes. i looked at her confused and asked, "um..Caroline whacha doing?". she just laughed and closed the tube, "it's makeup silly.".  "why do you wear it?" i asked her, still confused. "because it makes me feel more confident about myself." she smiled. "but you're so gorgeous. you don't need it." i replied. she started blushing as she smiled and and hugged me before saying, "i really appreciate it because my brother always tells me how much i need it." hugging me tighter. "because he's a jerk that insults people people to make himself feel better." i said laughing a little. she nodded and smiled before letting go.

even though Richie can be a prick sometimes, he was such a sweet guy. we've known each other maybe 24 hours but there's something about him. it's almost like i was met to meet him. as cheesy as that sounds i believe it. i picked my bag up before Richie spoke up again, "who's that girl in that picture?" he asked, pointing to the small frame on my desk. "oh my older sister. she moved to some small town in Indiana back about a year ago." i said smiling. he looked at me a bit worried and said, "don't think i'm crazy but i was looking at the photo and her face..it turned into a clown...". i looked at him with a completely blank expression before grabbing his arm and running out the door. "what the f-" he went to go talk before i cut him off, "richie. shut up and get on the bike. we're going to Bill's house.". "oh um okay." he said before jumping on the bike and starting to ride to Billy's house.

after a couple of minutes we arrived to the house and  Richie knocked on the door. the door opened and a woman smiled down on us, "hi Richie and.." "Caroline." Richie said smiling. "her name is Caroline.". "nice to meet you Caroline! i'm guessing your both here to see Billy?" she smiled.  i smiled and nodded and she let us in. i looked at the pictures all over the walls noticing pictures of Billy and i'm guessing was Georgie. "i'll be in the kitchen if you two need me!" who i'm guessing was Billy's mom said. i nodded and smiled at her before looking over at Richie, "is that...Georgie?" i asked pointing to the picture. "yeh.." he sighed. "let's go upstairs." he said with a soft smile. i nodded and followed him up the stairs and in front of a door. i knocked on the door and with that i heard him yell come in. i opened the door and smiled, "hi Bill." he smiled back and waved before looking back down at the book he was reading. "it's summer why are you reading?" Richie asked, pushing up his glasses. "b-because i'm doing r-research, Richie. t-thats why." Bill rolled his eyes. i laughed a little before sitting down on his bed, "Bill, Richie saw something. that's why we came here.". Bill looked at up at us with a scared look, "yeh?.." he asked. "i was looking at a picture of Caroline and her sister and her sister like morphed into a clown.." Richie said looking up at me and then Bill. Bill's eyes widened and he grabbed a paper and pencil and started drawing. i looked at Richie confused before Bill yelled, "was this it?!". Richie looked at the drawing and then back at me and just nodded. my whole body went stiff and Richie said, "yes. that's him. that's the clown." with a bit of cracking in his voice. "oh my God." i said softly and then started panicking. i stood up and started pacing back and forth. "hey it's okay. it's going to be perfectly fine." Richie said before grabbing my shoulders and pulled me down onto the bed. "it's okay." he said once again. i nodded and took a deep breath. "we need to g-go get the other l-losers." Bill stuttered. Richie nodded and said, "by the way Carolina, welcome to the losers club." i looked at him confused and said, "why losers??". "because Henry called us that once and we put it to good use. end of story let's go." running out the door, me and Billy tagging along. we all ran out the door, hopped on the bikes and headed to Eddie's house.
