Finney Blake got kidnapped 2 years ago, when he was in 8th grade, when he was down there, he saw all of the other victims and their ghosts, Billy Showalter, Griffin Stagg, and his best friend who had got killed aswell, Michael Sanchez.
Afterwards, he moves to Dallas, Texas, where he goes to high school. Finney was kind of popular, being kidnapped when he lived in Denver, and all.
In his sophomore year, he meets Robin Arellano. At first, they didn't really know each other, but when they were assigned as partners for an English project, they realize they have more in common then they think.
(COVER ART NOT MINE!)
Bruce feels disgusted by himself after the Grabber touched him.
[The kids that were kidnapped before Finney weren't killed, just locked in a room with connection to the black phone in Finney's room.
They helped Finney kill the Grabber the way they did in the movie and then got rescued.
In that time the 'dead' boys became friends and hung out, including Finney in their group.]
