I woke up, feeling energetic and hyper.
I didn't know why, usually I'm still somewhat asleep.
But it didn't matter. I sprung out of bed and ran to my closet to pick out my outfit.

I picked out a red top and decided today to wear one of my chokers.
My choker was black and had a heart right inside the middle.
Obviously I went with black pants because they are nice with red.

I found my Converses and slipped them on and tied my shoe.
I smiled and walked outside my room.

I finished all my schoolwork and today was Saturday so I didn't need to panic.
Inside the kitchen, I grabbed my favourite cereal and poured it into the bowl.
I went to go grab my milk and walked backed to my cereal.

I grabbed the bowl and walked to my table, setting the bowl down and walking back to the fridge for apple juice.
I grabbed a cup and put some apple juice into it.
I grabbed the cup and sat down, pulling out my phone.
I took bites of my cereal and watch some YouTube before I left to go do whatever.
The cereal was crunchy, every time I chewed on it I could hear it crunch and crackle in my mouth.

While eating, I got a knock on my door.
I got up and walked to the door, nervously fidgeting my phone into my pocket.
When I opened the door, Stan stood there.
"Oh Stan hi. What's up?"
"Nothing much. Can I talk to you about something?"
I nodded and welcomed him in.
As I sat back down to my breakfast, he sat down in the chair near me.
"So what's up?"
"Well, look. Me and the gang are going somewhere tonight."
"And where is it?"
"They wanted to see if we can go to a circus tonight."
"Oh sure! I'd go if that's what's you're asking."
"Oh thank god you'll go. I didn't want to be. Well alone in a circus. Especially now."

I looked up, I suddenly remembered.
Pennywise.
He'd most likely be there at the circus.
I began to get nervous, but still trying to think positive.
"Well then. I'll let you finish breakfast and I'll go get the Losers and tell them."
I nodded and suddenly stopped him.
"Stan."
He turned from walking.
"Can I come with you to see the Losers? I just don't wanna be alone with my thoughts."
He nodded and I quickly put my bowl inside the sink and slurped down my juice.
I shut the light off and ran out the door with him.

Outside, Stan and I walked.
It was gonna be humid today, and at nighttime it was supposed to be beautiful.
"So Stan. What's your overall opinion on Pennywise?"
"Well, he's creepy and I think about him a lot actually."
"Huh really?"
"Yeah, like do you know him? And how long if you do?"
I became nervous, I didn't wanna tell him the truth.
But you shouldn't lie either.
"Well I've seen him and he's scary. I just get jitters talking about him."
Stan nodded and we kept walking.
"Ugh of course though, I can't help but wonder if he targeted every kid in Derry yet."
Stan looked at me, "Well you are an adult, since you don't go to actual middle school or high school and he targets you."
"Yeah but still, I just don't know why. Like he'll tease me and laugh at my jokes. But then he'll be aggressive and trap me in the sewers like he did the one day."
Stan stopped walking, "Hold on. You were in the sewers?"
I nodded.
"How was it?"
"Oh well, dark. Cold, and very muddy. But then again it's a sewer. What could you expect down there?"
Stan started to walk again, "You better tell the Losers that you were down there. You can maybe help their adventure."
I nodded and started to fiddle with my hands, which was a sign I was anxious.
Stan looked at me, "What's on your mind? You can tell me."
I smiled, "Oh um, nothing it's just the Pennywise thing and circus."
He smiled and grabbed one of my hands, smiling.
"It's fine. We're gonna be together."
I smiled and walked with him.
When we got to the Losers, all of them looked at me and Stan holding hands.

Richie looked at Eddie, "I told you they were together."
Eddie punched his arm.
"Guys, we aren't dating. I'm just nervous about going to this whole circus tonight with us having Pennywise after us."
Beverly looked at me, "It's gonna be fine. We Losers can stay together and fight."
I smiled at Beverly.
Bill looked at a note, "F-From what I've h-heard, the circus s-should be open ton-tonight."
Everyone looked at each other, bracing for whatever comes our way.
