How you met

•bill
-> you were walking out of school, when you saw henry bowers picking on some kids. you were so sick of bowers, and he never really gave you too much of a hard time because your dads knew each other, and you saying one thing to his dad could get henry in heaps of trouble. you went over and  noticed that he was making fun of bill denbrough, and was mocking the boy's stutter.
"henry!" you called over. "just leave the boys alone, alright? now go do me and everyone else a favour, and go fuck yourself. okay, bowers?" you said, stepping in between henry and bill. henry went to hit you, you could see, but recoiled and just called you a bitch instead, then left after quickly maneuvering around you to push bill to the ground. you helped him up and he th-th-thanked you for getting rid of bowers. he asked you to join them at the quarry the next day, and you gladly accepted.

•richie
-> you were in freese's department store (toy section, obviously) and he bumped into you, not looking where he was going. he said he was running from henry bowers. you saw them coming and told him to duck behind one of the shelves. henry asked you if you saw him, you said no, and they ran out the back. richie thanked you and then proceeded to list off the cheesiest and most cliché pickup lines you had ever heard.
"hey, did it hurt when you fell from heaven?" you thought it was cute, and ended up hanging out in freese's until you were kicked out.

•eddie
-> you went to the pharmacy to get some band-aids, since you had cut yourself on a broken glass while taking out the trash, and had hurried out to get some stuff for it before it got infected. you saw eddie at the counter receiving a bag of something from mr. keene. he walked down the aisle towards the door and saw your hand, since the cut was still fairly fresh, and asked what happened. you told him, and he grabbed a couple things off the shelves, bought everything, and brought you outside to the alley beside the store, and patched up your hand. you guys talked while he worked, and then walked back to eddie's house and then parted ways, since his mom would not have appreciated an unexpected visit from a girl, eddie explained.

•ben
-> you were checking out some books at the library, and went and sat at his table. you looked up and recognized him from around school, you knew he was new and so you started a conversation with him.
"hey, whatcha readin'?" you asked. he held up a book with "bulldozer" printed on the cover.
"its really good. you should read it." he said quietly. you started talking to him about each of your favourite books, and talked for an hour until you had to go home.

•stan
-> you were sitting on a bench in the park, and saw stanley, who you knew from school, with binoculars and using them to look up into the trees. you walked over a little to where he was and asked him what he was up to. he told you he was birdwatching, and after learning that you had always been interested in birdwatching, showed you his collection of photographs of every different bird he had seen in his photo album.

•mike
-> your dad owns one of the shops that buys meat from mike's grandfather. your responsibility is to stock up after the deliveries come in. you invited mike in one time, after you saw henry drive by and flick his cigarette at the boy. you brought him in and you guys chatted and stocked up the store. now he comes in everyday to help out and to hang out with you, although he can't stay too long since his grandfather would get worried.

•beverly
-> you were in the school bathroom when greta bowie and her friends decided to be horrible (like always) and dump a disgusting mixture of trash and yellow tap water on beverly from the top of the stall.
"greta! jesus christ, what is the matter with you?" you shouted. you told greta off, and she retaliated by telling you to shut up and then slapped you in the face. she then left with her girlfriends, and beverly came out of the stall.
"hey, thanks for that. oh, my god are you okay?" she asked quickly, noticing the red spot on your face where greta had hit you.
"oh, yeah, im fine. are you okay? she can be a real bitch." you said. you two walked out together and talked for awhile. you ended up making plans to see each other again, and hang out together as much as possible.
