Richie Tozier - The popular jock at Derry high. He's only a freshman but is already quarterback of the football team. He has girls thrown at him but he only has his eyes on one boy. Eddie Kaspbrak. Eddie Kaspbrak - The loser and resident gay kid at Derry high. He's a freshman as well but is in junior level classes. He has his eye on one boy. Richie Tozier.
