I'll be posting the next part maybe after one or two weeks, I'm really busy with things so I might slowly update. Sorry :(

It was a next Saturday. Eddie sat near his window, dying of boredom. He stared at the old house that was next to his own. It seemed empty, not a soul even lived there.

 Then a car pulled up by it. A group of people came out of it. They had a lot of boxes and luggage. " Maybe that's my new neighbor? " he questioned himself. He looked closely to see a tall brunette helping with the boxes and a smaller one helping with others. He guessed they were brothers since they looked similar. " A family is probably moving in. " he thought.

He quickly ran downstairs but there was no sight of his mother. He guessed she went somewhere. He opened his door and walked to his new neighbor's house. The boxes were gone and the car was packed in the garage. He took a deep breath and walked up to the door. The door was completely covered in dirt but Eddie didn't care at this moment.

The door opened revealing the tall brunette again. " H-hi, do I kn-know you? " he asked. " No, I'm your neighbor, I'm just introducing myself. " Eddie smiled. " Oh- wuh-well, I'm b-b-bill denbr-rough. " he smiled back. " What's with the stuttering? " Eddie asked. " I w-was b-born with i-it, " he said. " S-so, what's yuh-your name? " he asked. " I'm Eddie Kaspbrak, you can call me ed for short. " Eddie replied. " Wuh-wanna c-come i-in? "  Bill asked. He nodded and Bill opened the door wider for him to enter.

" I see that it's still dusty. " Eddie said looking at dust and webs. " Y-yeah, it'll t-take us t-time t-to cl-clean this place. " Bill sighed looking at an old portrait. " Yuh-you s-seem a b-bit disturbed, is eh-everything oh-okay? " Bill asked. His face scrunched up in disgust just by looking at how the house is stated. " I'm just...not a fan of dirt, webs or germs, AT ALL. " Eddie said. " B-but the d-door had d-dust on it ah-and y-you kn-knocked it? " he asked. " That's because I was eager to meet my neighbors. " Eddie replied. " Is there at least any part of the house that's clean? " Eddie asks. " Yeah, m-me and my br-brother's ruh-ruh-room. " Bill pointed upstairs.

They started to walk up the stairs. " Where did you move from? " Eddie asked. " I m-moved fr-from the car. " he stated. " Damn, you're lucky, I've never been there. "he sighed. " Y-you haven't? D-does your p-parents c-c-carry you anywhere? " Bill asked. " I live with my momma, my dad passed away, " he said. " S-sorry f-for ah-asking. " Bill apologized. " It's okay. " Eddie reassured him.

The boys finally arrived at his Bill's room. Bill turned the doorknob and let Eddie enter. He closed the door behind and spot the boy's face in awe. " D-do y-you like i-it? " he asked. " Yes! It's so cool! " he exclaimed. There was books in a shelf, an old computer in the corner, a portrait hanged above it, a counter, a wardrobe, and a bunk bed. His walls were blank but that didn't ruin the beauty of the room. " Me ah-and m-my brother sh-sh-share this room, " he said. " I'm gl-glad you l-like it, " he smiled. " Do you have any bathroom? I need to wash my hands, " he stated. " The b-bathroom's nuh-not cl-clean yet, I'll j-just g-give you s-some wipes, " he went to his counter and took out some wipes. " Thank you, " he replied. " N-no problem, " he smiled. " Do you have any friends that live here? " he asked. " Nope, " he replied. " Well, you could meet mine's on Monday, " he said.

" Bill honey! I need help bringing Georgie's toys in the attic! " his mother yelled. " C-coming! " he yelled back. " Who's Georgie? " Eddie asked. " M-my brother. " he replied. " Bill! " he groaned and rolled his eyes. " I h-have tuh-to g-get going nuh-nuh-now, use a wuh-wipes to open the d-door ah-and l-l-leave. " he stated. " Okay. " Eddie watched the tall brunette leave. He took a wipe and went downstairs. He spotted a little boy staring at him in confusion. " What are you doing in our house? " the boy asked. " Um─ I'm your brother's friend. " Eddie replied. " Oh, Hi Bill's friend! " Georgie exclaimed. " Just call me Eddie. " he said. " Ok, Eddie. " Georgie replied. The boy ran up to him and hugged him tightly. " Woah, Woah, chill, what's with the hug? " he chuckled. " Anyone who's my brother's friend, is mine too. " Georgie smiled. Eddie couldn't stand his cuteness and hugged him back too. " So, you're Bill's brother? " Georgie nodded. " Well, I have to get going. " he said. " Nooooo, don't. " Georgie whined, hugging him tighter. " Sorry but I can't stay for long. " he replied. " Will you come back? " Georgie asked. " Yeah, I will. " he replied. Georgie let go of him and giggled. Eddie waved to him and opened the door with the wipes. He left the house and walked back to his own.

Eddie and Stanley was sitting on a bench, talking about his new neighbor. " His name is Bill Denbrough, he seems like a nice guy. " Eddie admitted. " And what if he isn't? " Stanley asked. " You're always negative. " he rolled his eyes. " I'm just looking out for a friend. " Stanley said. " Don't insult him or I'll fucking kick your ass. " he glared at him. " Whatever. " the Jewish scoffed. " I hope he could deal with your bullshit. " he said. " Excuse me, I just have a personality you can't handle. " Stanley snapped. He rolled his eyes once more, ignoring his friend's rambling. 

" Hey, look it's Richie. " Stanley pointed. " Richie! Over here! " Eddie waved him over. Richie whipped his head around and spotted the two of them. He ran over to them and sat next to Eddie. " Hey. " he smirked. " What ya talking about? " Richie asked. " This new neighbor Eddie has. " Stanley said. " His name is Bill Denbrough. " he added on. " How was it with him? " he asked. " Well, he stuttered a lot but he was nice. " Eddie admitted. " Can we invite him over to your treehouse? " he asked. " Our  treehouse. " Eddie corrected him. " It's ours? " Richie questioned. He nodded. " You're confusing Kaspbrak. " Richie chuckles. " I'm full of surprises. " he smirked. " And that's what I like about you. " he replied. The two stared at each other for a millisecond before quickly looking away. " Lovebirds. " the Jewish smirked. Eddie punched him on the arm and frowned. " Just kidding, jeez. " Stanley rolled his eyes. " But I know you two do like each other. " he smirked again. " What makes you say that? " Eddie asked. " The way you two look at each other, I could see it in your eyes, " he stated. Eddie sighed and just scoff. " Bill seems like he's a nice guy for you. " Richie winked. " Ew. " Stanley fake gagged. " I think that too. " Eddie said. " You guys are disgusting. " he groaned.

" I bet you'll fall in love with him in two weeks. " Eddie smirked.
