Chapter One The Beginning

POV NARRATOR

BACK IN THE CLASSROOM

"Now, dear students, sit down," said Miss Young her class teacher for the next few years. "Oh how boring" said Richie and rolled his eyes, Big Bill looked at Richie with a frown and said "Sit down" to which Richie replied, "Yes sir "and now also took his place laughing.

EDDIE POV

"Oh, this school is huge" thought Eddie as he was walking down the hall, he remembered that his mum had decided what he should wear today and yes he did what she wanted he was probably just used to it but he really believed his mum meant everything she did well and wanted to protect her Eddilein, after all, he was fragile and yes Eddie knew that he was quite small and a bit skinny, he had asthma since he can think so it seemed to him and if he tried a little too much If he was out of breath he hated this feeling of helplessness but even more he hated the feeling of feeling so invisible, which meant that he was lonely.

"Oh damn who would want to be friends with someone like him, he would be nothing more than a burden. A tear ran down Eddie's cheek which he immediately wiped away again" my mum will be there for me ALWAYS "he knew that and Rolled his eyes when he thought "I have to get out of these things, luckily I packed another shirt" which he was really happy about because he was wearing a shirt and a bow tie and his hair was straight back, so his mum thought he looked really cute, which was unfortunately not right, it just looked embarrassing and perfect to be declared a LOSER on the first day of school that Eddie really didn't want so he had to get rid of these clothes, so he looked for a toilet or a changing room around

"Because, thank God, out of that stupid shirt" thought Eddie when he finally saw a changing room he made his way to it but as he was just taking the first two steps someone pulled his arm. "What the hell" Eddie said now indignant and turned around in front of him was a tall guy he was wearing a kind of jumpsuit and a sign on his chest said "Marsh" "I'm the caretaker here what are you doing here in the middle of the hallway the doorbell rang you had to be in your class? " the caretaker asked him "I just have to go to the toilet for a moment" The caretaker came a step closer to him and Eddie immediately took a step back he didn't like being close he was afraid of getting infected with something like his mum always warned him "You are lying" the caretaker noted and already pulled Eddie by the arm "I'll bring you to your class, everything is in order" damn what should Eddie do now, he wasn't strong enough to fight back.

CLASSROOM

"So it's your turn, Richie," said Miss Young and Richie stood up and stood in front of the whole class. He was slightly nervous so many eyes stared at him. "Well, I'm Richie Tozier and ..." Richie just wanted to introduce himself when suddenly the door swung open behind him and he heard someone say "Shit damn let go of me that hurts" when Richie turned around confused and a boy was standing in front of him who was being held by the arm as he was just able to tear himself away and two steps stumbled backwards straight to Richie who stumbled back in surprise and this boy stumbled against Richie's shoulder and looked at him confused when Miss Young said "What is going on here who is this boy and when do you enter a classroom without knocking, do you have that? forgot Mr. Marsh "and Richie noticed that he was still standing in front and looked a bit embarrassed at this boy who looked at the floor when Richie realized that it was the same boy he was already had seen before in the break now stood here in front of the whole class and the "shit totally embarrassed" thought Richie when he looked up when Miss Young asked "Are you Eddie Kaspbrak" and Eddie answered "Yes" while Richie still didn't know if he was should sit down "Well then, sit down here next to Bill, there is still a free place" Eddie lifted his head slightly and looked at Bill who looked at him friendly and smiled at him, which surprised Eddie that he immediately bowed his head again "Well then thank you sir Marsh they can go "" Well, Miss Young "he said and left when Miss Young noticed that Richie was still rooted to the spot, she said" And you Richie will sit down again ok "before looking back at Eddie, Eddie asked shyly" May I go outside PLEASE"

because he heard someone in the classroom giggling softly and he thought" Shit Mum Why did you have to "when Miss Young answered confused" Well, but you'll be back in 15 minutes Eddie said" Thank you " before he ran out of the room as fast as he could. While Miss Young noticed someone laughing softly and said "YOU, be quiet now," Eddy ran lost through the hallways of the school.

2 months after IT chapter two ended

BEV POV

2 months so much time passed since we had left Derry and now I was nervously standing in front of this big mirror in my wedding dress and hoped I would blow Ben off with this dress. The door swung open behind me and Bill stood in front of me "Wow Bev you look amazing" said Bill and smiled at me with beaming eyes. "Thank you Bill" I answered and immediately blushed, not because it was Bill who said this even if I was in love with him for a long time, at least I believed that until I saw that Ben was the prince I've always dreamed of. And today it was finally time "I Beverly Marsh marry my Prince" I lost myself in these thoughts and my heart was beating so loud that I thought it would jump out of my chest at any moment.

"Bev everything alright" said Bill, slightly worried and put his hand on my shoulder whereupon I winced slightly. "Yes, sorry, I'm just so nervous" I said and turned to Bill. "Don't worry Bev everything is promised well" said Bill and took me in his arms .....

And how else could it be? Bill was right everything was perfect Ben said "yes" and a gigantic stone fell from my heart and I could finally breathe out. After the wedding, Ben had the idea that we should go to a restaurant with ours best friends Bill, Mike, Richie suddenly I felt a thousand stitches digging into my chest Stan and Eddie I whispered softly and a tear ran down my cheek. They weren't here and all because of that damn clown. "Hey Bev, honey, we'll be there in 5 minutes", Ben my HUSBAND woke me up from my thoughts who sat with me in our car "Ok, how about the others?" I asked "don't worry, I have directions for everyone given for walking or driving "Ben calmed me down. And we drove the rest of the way to the restaurant which was on the edge of DERRY about 20 km away, more precisely in Ludlow Maine whose CEMETERY is without reaching knowing meaning very well known...

Richie Pov

"Well, where am I" asked Richie who had made his way to the restaurant on foot. He was standing here lost in the area and knew that it was not a good idea to walk alone, he had never had a good one Even back then he would have lost his sense of direction in the Barrens and in the sewer system. "YOU ARE BACK", Richie heard a strange voice out of nowhere and turned around, but nothing and nobody could be seen Just an "OH SHIT How much did I drink? "Richie asked himself with conviction and decided to go on.

But even 10 minutes later he still couldn't find the right way to the restaurant when he remembered that Ben had mentioned something" Exactly he did but given us this guide ", Richie remembered again and looked at it. Just as Richie had his orientation back he saw something that he would never have believed in life. Better said he saw HIM"it just can't be true, it can't be Eddie"

he whispered and closed his eyes because he was sure it was an imagination that it just had to be "Please come on Rich you drank too much damn yourself, "he said to himself in his mind hoped that would help somehow and decided to open his eyes again and found that he was now standing alone on the street again, breathing deeply in and out again.
