Smiling as I hold James on my back, we finished delivering everything awhile ago. Being later in the day, about late afternoon, we go to the little corner store. James had ditched his bike the same time I put my new delivery bag in our home, before we were out once again.

Carrying him on my back, we enter the store almost getting ran over by a group of boys. The group looks startled and to be in a rush, I only notice the mop of curly hair that belongs to Stanley, before they rush past me.

"What's going on Keke..?" James high voice comes from above me.

"I-I'm not sure, J.." Answering in an unsure tone, before I proceed to get us both some drinks. My hand reaches for an Apple juice, and a simple Coke bottle.

Going up to the creep, giving him the money. James hops off my back, then takes his Apple Juice, as I take the Coke bottle. Holding James hand we walk out, as we go down the street, arguing comes from thhe alley just ahead of us.

"Why don't you shut the fuck up Einstein," I look down the alley, to see the group we just bumped into. Five boys wait in the alleyway, one kid sits on a crate, groaning in pain. Another bending down, focusing on the other's stomach. The boy who lost his brother stands beside them, Bill Denbrough. The other two are fimiliar, well one more than the other.

"Stanley!" Before I can stop him, james goes running in, catching the tall boys legs, in his small arms.

"James!" I run after him, and go into the group of boys, trying to pull the smaller boy away from Stanley.

"Damn, you following me Sexy?" The same voice from this morning, looking up I see the fimiliar set of fish like bubble eyes, staring down to me.

"I just have you know, the boy I'm currently trying to pull off Stanley. That is the reason I came into the alleyway, Freshie." I already getting annoyed by the kid.

"It's okay Kelsey." Stanley bends down, picks James up and holds him on his hip. Giggling and smile as he talks to the younger boy. As Stan keeps him busy, my eyes gaze at the situation.

"Holy shit, are you okay kid?" I ask, kneeling beside the one working on his wound, Bug Eyes beside me. The bou beside me coughs, and tries to scoot away probably not being use to a girl sitting this close to him.

"Come on suck the wound, get in there!" The boy mocks again.

I look up to him in disbelief, "Please don't ever help someone bleeding. You're advice will give them an STD." I say matter of factly.

"They'll get an STD another way," he smirks, grabbing his crotch.

Scoffing I reply, "Boy you'll be lucky to even get someone to kiss you, let alone let you raw dog their insides," The boys around me laugh, while Fish Eyes, stare at me blankly.

"F-f-finally trashmouth, m-met his match." My eye gaze behind me to Bill Denbrough. I giggle, and smiling seeing how the nickname for the Little Weirdo is fitting.

"Here, let me help." I reach into my bag, and grab out handsanitizer. Rubbing some onto my hands, to get rid of bacteria. Before I take the cleaning tool the boy's hand, and start cleaning it.

The boy who was doing it, looks at me with adoration. "Wow.. you carry around sanitizer, and know how to help in medical situations?" The boy speaks deamily, I give an awkward giggle, but nod none the less. The boy quickly goes back to the supplies, continuing his previous actions.

"Hey, watch it Eds Hot Stuff is mine, I already called dibs!" The fimiliar voice, of Fish Eyes reach my ears.

"She's not property." I smile hearing Stan's voice, coming to my defense.

Giggling I speak, "Yeah, Mr.Tozer you heard Stan plus, I no offense Fish Eyed glasses, don't really get my blood going, if you know I mean." I wink, to the boy, his mouth hangs open in shock.

Finishing all precautions, I help the "Eds" put on the cloth, then some medical tape, securingit in place. Smiling as I bring my hand up highfiving his. "Way to go man, maybe you should be a doctor when you're older." Smiling, I get up, and take a now tired James in my arms.

"W-wait I want to s-say hi to Bill." Teh blomde on my hip protests, a sigh escapes my lips, as my hands rub my temples.

"We've been here for thirty minutes, bub. You couldn't have done it before?" I ask in a tired voice, he shakes his head, and drops from my hips, going to Bill.

Sighing I smile to the rest of the group, "Um, sorry I just kinda.. came into all this.. but my name is Kelsey, for thoes who didn't know." I offer, giving a smile.

"Richie, better get use to it, cause you'll be screaming it later." Fish eyes winks.

Awkwardly my head nods, "Fish eyes, got it." I smirk then move on.

"I'm Eddie Kasperask, and thats Ben Hanscom." Eddie smiles proudly, I giggle, and look to Ben.

"So Ben.. may I ask why there happened to be an.. "H" carved into your body..?" Asking as I tilt my head.

"Henry Bowers.. he hates me.." The boy looks down defeated. My heart hurts seeing him look so sad, smiling I bend down, and take his hand in mine. Again another boy's cheeks blush.

"Ehh, I bet he's just jealous, cause most guys like you. When they grow up, they become utter heart throbs, and he peaked in Highschool." Richie laughs, while the rest of the boys give "ooohs."

The boy smiles happily, and nods, "Yeah, thank you Kelsey."

"No problem Ben." Smiling I rise to my feet, and go to Stan.

"Okay why does my future girlfriend, go to everyone except for me?!" He speaks with a frustrated and dramatic sigh.

I shake my head, "Is he always this.
.-" My thoughts get cut off by Stan.

"Annoying." He states as if he knew I was for fact going to say it.

"I was gonna boorish, but that's a nicer way of putting it." Everyone laugh along with me, taking James, as I prepare to leave.

"Haven't talked to you in awhile Bill."

The boy nods, "It's n-nice s-seeing you a-again." The boy ends with a sigh, I giggle, and bump his shoulder.

"Hey, you'll get there man, I promise,"

Leaving I smile, and skip down the alleyway, causing James to giggle as he bounces on my back.

"Hey Hotstuff, Quarry tomorrow around noon. You in?!" I turn to see Fish Eyes, smirking to me, rolling my eyes I think about it.

"You can bring James too," Stan finishes, with a smile.

Giggling, my head nods, "Then we'll come," James cheers on my back.

"See ya later guys!" I call behind me, as I dash down the streets to the house. Preparing to do the same routine I did, last night.
