Richie's POV
I've been thinking about It more often than I used to. After the summer, we all fell apart. We aren't a big group. There were a few weeks when I didn't think about It, it seemed like I had completely forgotten.

But then I started thinking more and more. Idk why I did, but my mind filled with thoughts and images of Pennywise and us in the sewers.

It's hard to think about it when everyone else has clearly moved on from the idea. Maybe not completely but they probably don't think about the summer's events as often as I do.

Waking up and walking downstairs was normal today. I ate breakfast got ready and slumped out the door to school.

I dragged my hand on the wall as I slouched down the hallway. I was already late for first period and decided to just skip it.

I wondered around the school grounds and when the second bell rang I slowly made my way to my class. I took my regular seat in the back with the intent of focusing but ended up staring into space and thinking.

As soon as the bell rang I sprang out of my seat and rushed down the hallway to meet up with Beverly.

"Bev!" I called out through the crowd, we were both headed to the same room and we usually met up to walk together.

She smiled at me brightly and I suddenly got nervous to ask her the question that had been swirling through my thoughts all day.

"Um bev? I gotta ask you something."

She looked confused at me, I usually joked with her but at this point I was serious and needed her attention.

"Yeah?" We started walking to class, staying close to the walls. Staying out of the way, out of sight.

"Um, he often do you think about pennywise?"

Her mood changed and she slouched a little bit. Her eyes filled with fear and she averted her gaze to the floor and continued walking.

"Well, I haven't. Since it happened."

I nodded and she turned and looked at me suspiciously

"How often do you?"

I just shrugged off the question as we walking into class.

Nice going dumbass. She's gonna ask about that later.

I know it's Been a really really long time since I updated. But as you can tell from this chapter I've had no ideas. I've been trying to generate a more structured plot line to this story but it's hard because of how uninspired I am. I'm going to be putting more effort into my stories. I just got busy with life.

Sorry about the wait.
