So instead of typing (Y/N), I'm gonna use a placeholder (If that's even the right word). I'm gonna use the name Will, because it's short, and it's my name.

What happened on July 1st?
-------------------
The Loser's club split up during the July 4th celebration. Will and Beverly went on their first official date. Richie and Eddie went together and Ben, Stan and the new member, deemed Homeschool, were the only ones left and went around with each other. Will and Beverly enjoyed the secluded privacy of the alleyway between the Derry Arcade and Ron's Barbershop, enjoying each others company for a while, until the three outcasts walked out of the arcade, into the alleyway taking a break from the dimly lit building they just exited and letting their eyes adjust to the bright sun on the warm summer day.
"What the hell is this?" a curious Stan yelled.
A disturbed couple consisting of Will and Beverly, stopped their Session to attend to the question. They walked out from their position and spooked the other three members of the Loser's club. The three members stumbled upon a missing kids poster taped over something. The love blinded couple passed right by it without even looking in it's direction, too busy to start making out.
"Hmmm, What is that?" Will asked
Suddenly the 5 out of the old 6 but new 7 heard weak spurts of someone playing the tuba and Eddie laughing hysterically. Everyone looked over to see Richie holding a tuba with the instrument's owner standing next to him trying to get his instrument back from Richie while Eddie bent over wheezing while holding 2 ice cream cones.
The 5 that had seen the poster, sighed and continued examining the poster. The poster had a picture of a 13 year old boy with the words EDWARD CORCORAN under the picture and a few miscellaneous details under the teen's age.
"They say they found part of his hand all chewed up near the standpipe." Stanley said while lightly shaking.
Ben was standing in the back, and said "He asked to borrow a pencil, I never got it back."
Will started walking up to the poster and turned his head around to face Ben and the rest of the club and sarcastically said "I wonder why?"
He reached for the poster and pulled it up to reveal another missing kids poster, this one has a different format. The picture was of a girl around the loser's club age, with the name BETTY RIPSOM under it, along with details written in a small font.
"It's almost like she's been forgotten because Corcoran's missing." Will says as he turns around to face his friends.
Stan keeps the conversation going by asking "Is it ever going to end?" Suddenly the tuba playing ended and Richie loudly asked "What the fuck, Dude?" Eddie slowly stopped his laughing as Richie walked over to him. The two slowly migrated towards the rest the club members. Eddie was the first to make it to the group and asked "What are you guys talking about?"
Richie answered his question as he walked up to the group "What they always talk about."
Ben then answered Stan's question "I think it will end." Everyone was confused but still interested by his vague answer.
"You noticed a pattern?" Will asked
"Yeah, if that's what you want to call it" Ben replied.
"Ironwork's explosion in 1908, Bradley gang in '35, and the Black spot in '62, and now, kids going missing." Ben recited his notes.
"Every 27 years." Will said as he turned to Beverly. Something gave everyone a chill. Everyone split up for a second time with the same groups as before, but going to different places. Will and Beverly sat on a bench 70 or so yards away from main stage of the celebration. Richie and Eddie running off to "Chill out" and Ben, Mike and Stan slowly made their way around.
--Time skip~ 1 hour--
Everyone was sitting around the bench that Will and Beverly were sitting at, talking about what "IT" actually is. Everyone had different answers. But one thing was ultimately decided...
