Richie Tozier sat in the back of his parents' old battered up car. He didn't really care to know what exactly it was, just that the silver color on it was slowly being chased by a dull gray and it was older than him. Looking out the window, he huffed and turned up his Walkman as far as the dainty machine would let him. This was the 4th time this year alone that his parents had decided to just up and whisk their lives away yet again. It had gotten so bad to the point of him doing online school because they moved so much. It pissed him off, yet Richie didn't really expect any different of this seemingly shitty town that seemed like all the other ones he'd been to. All the same shitty people, with all the same shitty attitudes towards all the same shitty things. He sighed and closed his eyes. At least he wouldn't have to deal with his father tomorrow. His father went straight to work first thing in the morning. He would try and hope that tomorrow would be a better day than today. He hoped that everyday. In fact, he would always try for tomorrow.
