Chapter 2

     I had woken up to the gang at my door all yelling about how we were gonna be late to the barrens, even though we still had about 3 months of summer. I laughed and got dressed in my rainbow shirt and some overalls. I wasn't gonna lie I don't usually like overalls but on the last day I saw some girl with fiery red hair wearing some, but in dress form, and I thought it was the cutest.

"Shit Emma, it doesn't take that long to put on a pair of pants let's go" I rolled my eyes at Richies comment and took off down the stairs.

"Don't get your panties in a twist Tozier"

I high-fived Eddie as we all took off on our bikes. We all goofed around on our way down there, and I couldn't help but smile at how cute Stan was. The way his curly hair flowed against the cool wind.

"Em, I like your outfit, it looks cute" Stan said with a shy smile.

"Thank you, you don't look to bad yourself, Stan the man" I blushed.

We finally reached the barrens and Stanley started on about everything was poison ivy. I had to admit although I like Stan he sure is a little much some times but I think it's adorable.

"Not every plant is fucking poison ivy, Stanley"

We all giggled at what Richie said but Eddie was starting to get "itchy" which he really wasn't but we dealt with this all the time.
Bill and I headed into the sewers as Rich and Eddie talked about how Eddie had crabs. It's always somethings with those two, but it sure kept the rest of us entertained.

"Why are you guys standing out there, come on?" I said confused.

"Uh-uh, it's grey water"

"What the hell is grey water?" Richie had asked, while the rest of us were also thinking the same question.

"It's basically piss and shit, so I'm just telling you"

"Will you guys just shut up and get your asses in here and help" I yelled.

I had to admit I wasn't a fan of spending my summer in this nasty sewer but I love Bill and I understand this meant a lot to him.

"Wow Em that was hot" Richie said with a smirk getting closer to me. I looked to see if Stan had any jealousy of what Richie had said...nothing.

"Rich, get your hand off my ass"

"Fine, fine, fine, you will want me sooner or later"

I rolled my eyes. Richie does this to about any girl who makes eye contact with him.
I turned my attention back to the two geeks and started to laugh a little.

"Doesn't smell like caca to me senor" Richie had picked up some type of clothing and threw it at Eddie.

Bill and Stan wasn't paying any attention to Eddie and Richies argument, but I sure as hell found it funny.

"GUYS ..." Bill looked up holding a shoe on the stick he was carrying around. Everything got quiet from there on out.

"Shit, don't tell me that's..." Stan mumbled.

I was feeling a little queasy, I was praying that it wasn't Georgie's or else I would have cried or vomit right then and there.

"G-Georgie wore galoshes"

We all let out the biggest breath we didn't even know we were holding.

"Bill see, Georgies okay I bet" I said, although I knew deep down we weren't gonna find Georgie.

"Whose shoe is it" Eddie said uneasily.

"Betty Ripsom's"

"Oh fuck, I don't like this"

"How do you think Betty feels running around these tunnels with only one freakin shoe" Richie said hopping on one foot.

"Rich, will you shut up for once" I spoke punching him in the shoulder.

Everyone else stood quietly until Stan spoke.

"What if she's still here"

Nobody said anything, instead we followed bill down the sewers.

"Bill, I'm a little scared..." I mumbled

"Don't worry babe, tough guy will keep you safe" Richie spoke flexing his arms.

"Oh really? where is he" I smiled faking an excited tone.

I looked back to Bill who seemed just about fed up with our shit.

"If I was B-Betty Ripsom, I would want s-someone to find me, G-Georgie too"

I was saddened by Bill sentence, he was right was if she still was alive we couldn't give up, and what if Georgie was too he would be so scared all alone.

"What if I don't want to find them" Eddie broke the silence.

We all turned towards Bill as Eddie kept going on.

"I don't want to go missing either"

"He has a point" Stan and I said at the same time.

"It's summer, we're supposed to be having fun, this isn't fun this is scary and disgusting"

Before Stanley could finish a kid came crashing down the river falling on to his knees, I quickly ran out to help.

"Holy shit, what happened to you"

"Richie, shut the fuck up he's hurt obviously" I said angrily.

Eddie, Stan and I ran to help the poor kid, who was having trouble standing and tried our best to figure out what was wrong, while Eddie let us to the convient store.

So it seems that Stan might not be into Emma as much as she thinks, but what she doesn't know is that a certain someone has been in love with her for a while now....
