Eddie heard an unpleasant sound that pulled him out of his dream. It was the sound of his alarm clock. He reached out weakly to turn the alarm off, then sat down on the bed, and rubbed his eyes. He realized it was the first day of school. Eddie turned to look at the alarm clock to see what time it was, and saw that he had exactly one hour to prepare for his first day of school.

He got out of the bed, and went to the bathroom. There he took a quick shower, brushed his teeth, and fixed his hair. After that, he put on clothes; he had prepared the day before, and looked at himself in the mirror.

Eddie was wearing his favorite dark blue sweatshirt, which was a little bigger on him because it was his father's old sweatshirt. Each sleeve was colored differently, one was yellow and the other one was red. He was also wearing long red socks and dark blue jeans. It wasn't a special outfit, but Eddie felt good in it.

He stacked everything he needed, a pencil case and a few notebooks in a yellow backpack, which matched perfectly with his sweatshirt, then he took the backpack, and headed for the dining room.

Eddie and his mother lived in a small house with only a ground floor. It was house for only two people so it was enough for them. Eddie's father died of lung cancer when Eddie was five years old, and his mother has never found anyone else.

It was a beautiful little house. There was a small kitchen connected to the living room and the dining room. His mother's bedroom was right next to the kitchen, however, she often fell asleep in the living room while watching a TV, so she wasn't really sleeping there. Eddie had his own room at the end of the hall, and there was a bathroom next door. The house was decorated in mid-century style, despite the fact, it was year 1994.

His mother had been already waiting for him in the dining room with prepared breakfast when Eddie stepped into the room. He noticed right away that there were pancakes with a maple syrup and strawberries served on the table. It made a smile on his face because pancakes were his favorite meal. He was convinced that he could eat pancakes with strawberries for breakfast, lunch and dinner every day.

"Morning Ma." His mother smiled at him, and motioned for him to sit down. ''Good morning Eddie-bear, I made you your favorite meal, I want you to have an amazing first day.''

''Thank you.'' Eddie sat down at the table. His mother did the same, and they both started eating in silence.

Later, Eddie was full after he had eaten three pancakes, his mother, on the other hand, was eating her fifth, and still wasn't finished. It wasn't something unusual. His mother was overweight in stature and loved food. She was also spending most of her time in the living room watching TV, and she worked at the hospital as a receptionist, so she didn't have much exercise at work either.

Eddie was sometimes worried about her health because of her weight, but he was sure that if he mentioned something about her health to her, she would only turn the conversation into argument about his own health. Eddie knew his mother and her manipulative tactics well enough.

''Thank you for the breakfast, I have to go now, bye Ma.'' Eddie put his backpack on his back, and opened the door. ''Bye, have a nice day at school and be safe, don't forget...'' Eddie closed the door acting like he couldn't hear her when in reality he really didn't care about what his mother was trying to tell him or warn him about, so he left their front porch without a second thought.

He usually went or rode his bike to school because neither he nor his friends had a driver's license or a car, and there was no school bus in Derry. Bill intended to buy a car that year, but it was September and he still didn't even have a driver's license, however, Eddie didn't mind walking or riding his bike.
