Richie sat in the library, waiting for Eddie to arrive. He was looking at some old book, titled 'the history of Derry' .

He took interest on the missing kids. He calculated the dates, and realized that kids would go missing every 27 years.

"It's cool, huh? I like that book."

Richie looked up, and saw a chubby boy with a ton of books in his hands. He remembered that he was one of Eddie's friends.
"Yeah, it's weird how kids go missing every 27 years."

The boy  sat down next to Richie, looking at the page he was on.
"I'm Ben Hanscom,"
He said putting his hand out for Richie to shake.
"Richie Tozier."
Richie replied, shaking Ben's hand.

Eddie walked into the library, making his way to Richie's usual spot. He had asked Ben to sit with Richie before he got there, hoping Richie would open up to make new friends.

He saw the two boys sitting together, looking at a book. Eddie smiled, happy Richie wasn't being as shy.
He sat with the other boys, looking at the book with them.

They sat in the library for awhile, until they had to get to class. When Richie got to class,
he sat at his usual spot, far in the back, where he could stare out the window.

He sat down, and noticed that people were glaring at him more than usual. He shrugged it off, not thinking much of it.

"Hey, faggot boy! Heard about a rumour going around, that you fucked the girly boy"

Richie froze, knowing too well the voice of Henry Bowers.

"Don't call him that, asshole."

Henry scoffed.
"Defending your boyfriend Tozier? Doesn't get more gay then that."

Henry grabbed the collar of Richie's shirt, and brought him out of the classroom before the teacher came.

"Let go of me asshole!" Richie tried breaking out of Henry's grasp, but failed.

Henry brought Richie to the back field, where they saw Victor, Patrick, and Belch standing with smirks on their faces.

Henry finally let go of Richie, then punched him, connecting with his left ear.

Richie went to punch back, but somebody put a sack over his head.
He felt rope being tied to his wrists, and he was thrown into a car.

He screamed for help, but instantly regretted it when he felt someone punch him in the gut.

He felt the car stop, then he was thrown onto the ground.

"GET OUT OF MY TOWN FAGGOT!" he heard Henry yell, then the car drove away.

Well, SHIT.
