          "RIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIING" Finally! School's out!

          Me and my best friends, Stan Uris, Bill Denborough, Eddie Kaspbrak, and Richie Tozier ran out of the classroom. Or, more accurately, the hellhole.

          "So, what happens at Bar Mitzvahs anyways?" Eddie asked.

          "Yeah, don't they slice the tip of your dick off?" Richie exclaimed. I laughed out loud.

          "Are you kidding?!" I laughed. "There'd be nothing left!" Richie snorted into his fist. Stan rolled his eyes.

          "Nope." Stan ignored mine and Richie's comments. "I read from the Torah, make a speech, and suddenly, I become a man!"

          "Yeah, whatever. But imagine the rabbi pulling down his pants, saying to the crowd, 'Where's the beef?'!" I laughed even harder. Richie laughed.

          "Whoa! I taught you well!"Richie elbowed me in the ribs. I kept laughing.

          We all dumped our backpacks out into  the trash cans outside.

          "Best. Feeling. Ever." Stan exclaimed

          "Oh yeah?" Richie quipped. "Try tickling your pickle for the first time!"

          I gagged. "Beep Beep, Rich!"

          "So, are y-you guys going to the sewers with m-me?" Bill stuttered. Poor Bill. His stutter had gotten worse since his brother, Georgie, died last year.

          "Sure! Who doesn't love splashing around in shitty water-"

          Suddenly, Richie was pulled by his backpack, and into Stan, by Henry Bowers. Here we go, again...

          "Y-y-you S-s-s-s-s-SUCK, Bowers!" Bill screamed. I stood next to Bill, holding my tongue, keeping a series of cuss words and rube comments from spewing out of my throat.

          Bowers looked over. "You s-s-s-s-say something? B-B-B-B-Billy?" He laughed. That's it!

          "Why don't you go and fuck yourself, Bowers? I'm sure it's not the first time you've played with your cock. Am I right?" I sneered.

           "Oh yeah, Crazy Coraline?" Patrick Hockstetter walked up. "I'm just wondering, why do you hang around a group of boys all day? A little suspicious, don't you think, Lunatic?" He laughed wickedly.

          "Pretty high and mighty coming from you, Hockstetter." Richie exclaimed.

           Bowers went to punch Richie and we all stood in between them. He looked over us and saw his dad, a cop, and backed away. They walked over to Belch Huggins' Trans Am and got in.

          "I wish he'd go missing." I growled.

          "He's probably the one doing it." Eddie theorized.

           "That's poison ivy, that's poison ivy, and that's poison ivy." Stan pointed to random plants.

           "Where?" Eddie looked around. "Where's the poison ivy?"

           "Not every p-plant is p-poison ivy, Stan!" Bill yelled from the sewer tunnel. I held my flashlight up to the walls and looked around.
