It was Thursday morning at 6am. I was snug in my bed and woke up a little bit only to stretch under the covers and sleep again.
I rolled over and heard a noise outside the room. Like in the kitchen or something.
I rubbed my tired eyes and went put my socks on and walked to the kitchen.

I turned the corner to see the noise and saw nothing there. Whatever was there was gone, and it cleaned up something too.
I turned and walked back to my room.
As soon as I closed the door, I heard the noise again. What the heck was that?

I tiptoed even quieter to the kitchen and turned and saw someone standing there, raiding my fridge for food.
I felt scared but also angry at this person and couldn't just let them take my food.
"Hello, whoever you are why are you in my house?"
The character was still bent over but turn their face and in the darkness, orange glowing eyes stared at me.
I got scared and panicked back a little, my breathing was getting heavier.
"I think that maybe you should go home."
The character then stood up and the eyes went up with the person's figure.
I start to worry about who this person is, their eyes were golden, they seemed very tall, and they didn't say a word.

The person stops right in front of me and set their hand on my shoulder, which judging from the hand size, it's a man.
I tried to look in different places because those eyes are piercing, look into them for too long and I'll have nightmare.
The man sighed and said, "You don't remember me Y/N? We have our date today."
I looked up, this was Pennywise.
"Pennywise? Why are you in my kitchen at 6am?"
Pennywise chuckled and I felt his hand work up to my neck.
"I'm just stopping by, trying to find some food, I'm just hungry."
I didn't like his tone at all, his hand around my neck also didn't feel so great either.
I tried to remove some of my fear from myself and collect myself enough to respond back.
"O-Oh. Well what do you usually like to eat?"
His eyes start to change colours, going from orange to now a red in the centre of his eyes growing.
"Well, I have a strict diet I only one thing."
"What's that?"
Pennywise tightened his grip onto my neck and start to lift me up.
"Humans."

My mind races at the speed of light, was I gonna be eaten? Why did he pick me?
My fear increasingly grew and he soon spoke up again with that demonic voice.
"I feed on humans and fear, the blood, the flesh, and the raw FEAR."
I tried to loosen up his hands but he was too strong, he seemed like he does a lot of heavy lifting. But then again, he's an entity.
"Pennywise, don't do anything to me. I-I asked you a simple question."
His eyes soon started to turn full on red, and his tone became more brutal.
"I'm answering the question!!! I have been STARVING. All I want is something to eat, but instead of that, I get pushed away!"
His grip loosened a little but I wasn't on the ground yet.
"Well, today me and you can go out together and eat okay? I can go with you. Promise."
His head moved and twitched a little bit, then he calmed down.
"Fine, promise that though Y/N."
He dropped me onto the ground and I rubbed my neck softly.
He put his hands on his hips and I went over and turn the lights on.

I started to wake up a little while Pennywise just walked around my house, playing with something or telling me a story.
I made myself pancakes, and got some good syrup to go on top of it.
I also grabbed my favourite apple juice jug and poured apple juice into the jug.
I sat my food down at the table and pulled out my phone to call campus.

The phone answered, and a male's voice was heard.
"Hello?"
"Hi, I'm Y/N. I'm calling in to say I won't be able to work today."
"Okay, and what's your name again?"
"Y/N."
"Okay I'll fill you in as absent."
"Okay thank you so much bye!"
"Goodbye."

I dropped the phone and started to cut my pancake in half and take a big bite.
The fluffy pancake made me giggle and soon Pennywise came into the kitchen.
He watched me eat and asked me some questions.
"So, what's that you're eating?"
"This is pancakes. I put syrup onto mine which makes it sweet and fluffy. You can also add berries, butter, or powdered sugar to make it like you want it."
He nodded, he seemed intrigued about human food. It's like he has never seen someone eat before.
"What about that?"
He pointed to the cup of apple juice on the table.
"That's my favourite drink ever. Apple juice. It's juice flavoured like an apple."
I got up and put my plate into the sink water and chugged down my apple juice and put the cup into the sink too.

I started to walk down the hall and Pennywise was right behind me.
We walked into the bathroom and he came inside with me too.
I grabbed my toothbrush and toothpaste and apply some then started brushing at my teeth.
Pennywise grabbed my hand and stopped me from brushing my teeth.
"Penny are you okay?"
I looked up and saw his face looking scared, which looked weird as hell.
"You're gonna hurt your teeth!"
I turned, "No Pennywise. This is a toothbrush. I apply a paste called toothpaste to it and brush my teeth. It helps get gunk off my teeth and makes my teeth clean and fresh."
He seemed hesitant but finally let my hand go and watch me brush my teeth.
Once done, I got the mouthwash and my perfume again and set them onto the sink.

I grabbed a cup and filled it up with mouthwash and swished it around then spit it out.
I grabbed the perfume and sprayed a little on my neck.
I put them away and Pennywise followed me into my room where I made my bed and grabbed some clean clothes.
I didn't wanna get changed in front of Pennywise, the idea of that made me turn red.
"Hey, Pennywise. Mind doing something for me?"
"Sure Y/N!"
"Turn around and don't look. I have to change.
"Oh okay!"
He turned and I quickly put on my pants and shirt.
I then signalled that it was okay to turn around and he turned.

I couldn't help but think, he was watching me do my morning routine. He liked it too, what a strange thing he is.
I took a comb from the desk and brushed at my hair into the mirror and fix it a little bit.
I turned to Pennywise, he was contently waiting onto the floor.
I walked over to him and sat down neatly.
"Thanks again for being so quiet. You seemed to like following me."
He smiled, his eyes were his calm blue ocean again. I loved that.
"Oh well it was nothing. You're an interesting person Y/N."
I played that sentence again.
You're an interesting person.
How?

I leaned forward and played with his hair while he ranted on about stories.
I didn't even notice the time when it hit 10am in the morning.
We can chat for hours on end and sometimes never even know how long it's truly been.

I told him it's time to go out and see where he wants to go.
He bounced up quick, helping me up.
"Well. Follow me, it's gonna be amazing!"
I followed him, not because I didn't have a choice, but because I was started to like Pennywise.
He was a nice person, granted he wasn't one. And his anger physically scares me. But he seems to be really underrated in life.
As if no one ever talks with him or anything like that.

It chilled me to wonder, am I his only friend?
