I'm Richie Tozier.
16 years old.
Junior in highschool.
I live in Rhode island.. but my mom and dad want me to move.
I wanted to spend summer here because it's so nice, the beaches are great too.
But my dad got a new job in Derry Maine.
That place is a total dump, it's not even fun.
There's no beaches there. I'm sure there is in other parts of Maine but in Derry there isn't.
We got a new house there and we are driving there with the U-Haul right now.
I've always kinda found car rides relaxing.
There's none of my parents fighting.. just music filling my ears.
I've always loved music.. ever since i was a baby i've just loved to listen to music.
It's one of the only things i can actually enjoy in life.
The car hit a little bump drawing my attention back outside.
I opened my eyes and i saw in the distance a sign that said "welcome to derry".
Then my dad said "we're here!!"
I sat up from my slouched position i was in.
This town is kinda in the middle of nowhere.
I watched as my mom lit a cigarette.
I took a deep breath in and smelt the nicotine.
I could really go for a cigarette right now.
I'll have to wait till we stop.
My parents don't care if i smoke but i don't want them to know... you know?
Like they could careless, of course they don't want me doing it but they know i'm reckless and i'm not gonna listen to them.
We took a couple turns before we stopped and turned into a drive way.
The house was about the same size as our last.
I got out and watched as my parents unpacked.
They knew i wasn't gonna help so they didn't ask.
My dad pulled my bike out of the U-Haul and looked at me with the look like "you gonna come get this"
Of course i went and grabbed it.
My bike is the way i do everything.
I got on it.
