Y/n= Your name

L/n= Last name

Y/f/c= Your favorite color

Y/f/a= Your favorite animal

I put my clothes back on and told my sister where we were going and she followed close behind on her skateboard.

We arrived at Ben's house and Eddie fell, clumsily .I walked closer to the I saw a missing poster of 'Patrick Hockstetter.' That's the same name I heard down in my drain. "You okay Y/n?" Richie snapped me back to reality. "Oh, yes. I'm fine.. I think?" I replied and reached out for Richie's hand, which he took, and looked in his eyes while he smiled. I didn't know what to think about him. "Erm lovebirds?" Eddie snapped us back. "Right." I let go of Richie's hand and entered Ben's house with the others.

•••

"Whoa, whoa, whoa. Wow." Richie examined the room. "Cool huh?" Ben felt proud. "No, no not- it's pretty cool." I finished for Richie and he rolled his eyes and mouthed to me, 'That's your opinion' and I giggled. "Like I was saying, nothing cool, nothing cool." He finished. "Wait that's cool right here! What never mind. No, it's not, not cool."

"What's that?" Stanley pointed at a poster. "Oh that's the charter for Derry township." Richie scoffed. "Nerd alert!" "No actually it's really interesting." He corrected. I didn't really focus on the conversation that much because I was just thinking. Trying to figure out why we moved here if there's a freaking murder mystery going on in this town. Then again, I would not have met these people. I was also thinking about Richie and how he always keeps calling me these unusual names either involving me being 'hot' or some type of candy. I kept looking around the room for any clues with Bill, which was easy because like Richie said, Ben is kind of a nerd and so is he but who's counting?

I kind of shifted from my thoughts when Ben talked about the Indians' camp being abandoned the next day with bloody clothes leading to the well house. "Jesus! We can get Derry on unsolved mysteries." Richie commented. "Let's do that. You're brilliant." Eddie agreed. "W-Where was the well house?" Bill asked and I looked up at him. "I don't know, somewhere in town I guess. Why?" Ben answered. "Nothing." I kind of felt a gist of what Bill was trying to do.

"Oh shoot! Gotta go guys! I'll see you tomorrow and we can get to know each other?" I quickly said. "Y-Yeah, see you t-tomorrow Y/n." I smiled at the stuttering boy. I waved and as I made my way towards the door, arms wrapped around me and I turned around. "Richie? I'm not leaving forever." I smirked. "I know." He whispered in my ear and pulled away to smile. I waved and smiled wide.

"Hey Crys! Where were you?" I asked. "Getting Ice-cream I got you your favorite flavor!" She handed me mint chocolate-chip. "Thanks!" We got on our skateboards. "Make sure you finish it before dinner." She added and I nodded. "Why are you so red?" She questioned, placing her skateboard on the cobblestones. "I'm not?" She shook her head. "You look like a ripe tomato!" She giggled and I rolled my eyes.

•••

We got home at around 6:35 P.M so still kind of early. "Hey girls! You're back! I have really good news!" She squealed and hugged us. We nodded impatiently. "I got a job at Pops' diner!" She smiled. "That's amazing!" I said, really excitedly. "Yeah! I heard they pay a good amount." Crystal added. She nodded. "Its a full day shift so if I'm not here when you guys wake up, I'll leave a note and you'll do the same for me okay?" We nodded.

"So what happened today? Let's sit." She pulled out a bar stool chair. "Well, I made some friends my age! Richie came over and gave us cookies as a house-warming gift/food. Then we went to the quarry and Richie taught me how to swim. Their names are, Beverly, Richie, Ben, Eddie, Stanley, and Bill!" I was really excited. "Wow that's pretty cool! And Crystal doesn't have to come all the time to watch you, only in the beginning. I trust you well enough to stay with your little group of yours." I nodded.

"Well for dinner there is pasta and for desert there are cookies. From the welcomes." Mom smiled.

After Dinner

I went in my room, locked the door, and plopped on my bed and thought like I always do. I was just loving solving mysteries with the group and I didn't know if I had a thing for Richie or not. He is the biggest trashmouth of the century, but people have their personalities and I think I like the profanity one better. There was knocking on my window. I turned around to see none other than Richie Tozier.

I rushed over to see him with a grin plastered on his face. I opened the window and said, "Richie what are you doing here?" He smiled more. "Let me in and I'll tell you." He smirked. "Okay. Don't do any funny business though." I warned. "Can't count on that Skittles." He winked. I sighed and let him in. He looked around my room and examined it thoroughly. "So why are you here?" I questioned raising a brow. "I honestly don't know. Im bored and don't wanna go back home."

"Why is that?" I shot back. He shrugged. "I don't know just.. Do you have feelings for Stan or Eds or Bill or Ben? Or are you lesbian for Beverly? I won't judge you." I widened my eyes. "Uh.. I mean I just met you guys I don't really have any affections towards any of you in that way. And I'm straight. Why?" I explained. "Uhm. No reason..." His leg bounced up and down.

"You can talk to me tomorrow

because we're gonna get to know each other and kind of shift away from the missing kids till after." I assured and he nodded. "Was that all you wanted to talk about?" I asked. "Yeah. Sorry for wasting your time." He walked to the window. "Richie?" He turned around and I kissed his cheek.

"Night." I smile-blushed. "N-night Y/n." He smiled wide and I watched as he crawled out my window. I closed my curtains and couldn't stop smiling. That couldn't have meant anything just a friendly interaction, between two friends..but my stomach had this strange feeling.

NEXT MORNING

Not surprisingly, I woke up smiling like I won the lottery or something. I threw together this outfit:

Then headed downstairs to see if mom had left a note, which she did, 'Didn't want to be late for work, so I left a little early. Be home at around 7:00 tonight! P.S don't forget to write a note if you're leaving! ~Mom' I wrote on the back, 'Going to go out with my friends again. I'll be home soon! ~ Y/n.'

Crystal came down a little after me."Morning Y/n." She greeted as she poured some milk in her bowl. "Morning! I'm going out with the group today." I noted. "Okay. Just be safe. And I think that Tozier kid has a crush on you." She assured. "No. He doesn't.. at least I don't think.. " She chuckled. I ran to the bathroom and I brushed my teeth and washed my face thoroughly.

I heard 2 loud knocks. "That's them! Gotta go!" I gave Crystal a sideways hug and waved. I opened the door and the first person I saw was Richie then the rest behind him. "Hi hotty!" He waved. I chuckled.

"How many nicknames do you have for her my goodness!" Beverly faceplamed. "About a million!" He smirked. "Okay so I'm going by myself today so what do you wanna do?" I asked. "Oh we were gonna go to Bill's house today." Eddie answered. "Wait Y/n, I got you some skittles yesterday before the ice cream!" My sister opened the door and handed the pack.

"Thanks Crys!" I closed the door back and grabbed my skateboard. "Damn. I know I call you skittles, but I'd rather be tasting you then the rainbow." He commented. I looked at him in utter disgust. "Richie, for once can you shut your fucking mouth?" Eddie hissed. "Eddie Spaghetti's going rough, awh." Richie teased. "Stop calling me that dickhead!" Eddie snapped.

"Next time he makes a remark like that, say Beep Beep Richie, it always gets him to shut up." Beverly whispered in my ear and I nodded.

I hopped on my skateboard and followed the redhead, she was really nice to me recently, even though this is my second day being with the group. "So what do you call this group?" I asked her. "The Losers' Club, it was a name given by Bowers." She answered. "Who's Bowers?" I asked again. "Oh his name is Henry Bowers but I honestly don't care what is name is, he's a bully along with Patrick Hocksetter, Belch Huggins, and Victor Criss." She concluded. "So if you see them, turn the other direction and run, but Patrick went missing so we don't worry about him anymore." This was a lot of information to take in, but I asked for it. And that Patrick dude..

"Okay thanks for the info!" I thanked. "It's no biggie." She smiled. "Also, when we get to his house, don't mention anything about his brother, let him open up. I shouldn't be telling you this but, his brother kinda went missing and he's really mad about it." She commented. I nodded. We finally arrived at Bill's place.

I hopped off my skateboard and held it in between my right arm. "M-make yourself at h-home." Bill gestured. "Thanks Billy!" I ruffled his hair and walked in, the rest following. I sat on his couch in the living room, examining how neat and clean it was. Beverly sat down next to me taking off her bag, Bill next to Bev, Stanley next to Bill, Richie and Eddie on the floor.

"So motherfuckers, how do you wanna start this?" Richie exclaimed. "My name is Y/n L/n, I moved here from Florida, I'm 13 years old turning 14 in two months, favorite color is y/f/c, and I like y/f/a." I announced. They giggled. "So I like-" Richie was cut off by Stan,"Okay so like um I'm Richie the Trashmouth and I like to go play video games and get super pissed when I don't win and I JUST ADORE staring at Y/n's ass all day and eat ass from Eddie's mother-" We all burst out laughing and Richie rolled his eyes. "Well half of that is true." He winked to me and I gagged. "Why is this about my mother?" Eddie shuddered.

12 minutes later (Im LAzY)

We finished our introductions and Bill told me about his brother and I honestly felt really sad. Richie said he was gonna give me more swimming lessons, which I didn't need right now because I was just getting to know the Losers' Better. Bill even said he trusts me really well! That's progress.

I walked up following Richie, but I seriously didn't wanna go.

"Can we come?" Ben asked. Richie scoffed. "These are private tutoring lessons." Richie walked to Ben and placed a hand on his shoulder. "So private that she'll go nude for me." Richie exaggerated. "They can come so they can watch me drown you." I taunted and they laughed hysterically. Richie put a hand over his chest and pretend to be offended. "Ya we can come seriously, it's like 3:00 P.M." Beverly told. "D-don't you w-want some snacks?" Bill asksed. "Eh, can't argue with that, especially if it's being offered." I chuckled.

Bill grabbed everyone a bag of Potato chips and we made our way to the quarry.

•••

I stood in my clothes while the others got undressed in their underclothes and Beverly did the same. As I stood awkwardly in my clothes facing a bush, (because I didn't want any interactions between any of them right now) I really wished that I had said something.

A figure stood behind me. I turned around and I was gone. 'Huh?' I thought to myself. Then I kept hearing, "Float with us.. We all float down here." Over and over again. I jumped seeing Richie stand right behind me. "Oh Richie.." I sighed. "Miss me already Hotty? Is that why you jumped?" He smirked. "Yeah, because you're so terrifying." "And I wish you would stop calling my that because I'm not hot. At all." I fretted. "You're right." He wrapped his scrawny thin arms around me "You're- BEEP BEEP RICHIE!" I yelped and she was right, he did shut up this time.

He let go of me and smirked. "Do you know how many girls would kill to be called that name, by ME?" I rolled my eyes. "Well no because don't know anyone here besides you guys." "A whole fucking lot." He repositioned his glass. "Whatever Sherlock." I scoffed. "Well, arent you going to get undressed?" Great. More Deja Vu. "Yes be more patient. But this time can you not look?"

"Can't count on that Skittles!" He smiled. "You're wasting time, so you might as well show me what you're worth!" He challenged. I didn't want to tell him I was insecure, because I got undressed yesterday so that would seem like some sort of excuse. "Fine, but do you have to stand so close?" He backed away like 1 step. "Some more.." Backed away 2. "Good enough." I scoffed and got undressed, it was kind of difficult because you were wearing overalls and wasn't intending to go swimming today!

I was left in my bra and underwear again STILL very nervous but it's whatever. "Holy Fuck - You get me every fucking time." He stunned. I smiled but walked away and turned back around saying, "You coming or what?" He kind of stood there and then skipped over to me.

Couple minutes later

Richie and I we're just sitting on the rocks near the water. "So Richie, when do you think I'll get good at swimming? I heard it takes a while." I asked. "Richie? Richie Tozier!" I had to practically scream. "Huh? What were you saying?" He looked up to me. "I was saying when do you think I'll get advanced like you guys at swimming?" I repeated. "RICHIE!" He looked up. "Sorry, your boobs are fascinating and distractive." I grew red of anger and embarrassment. I stood up, "1. Stop looking at them! 2.Why don't you look at Eddie's mom's?" I said walking away. "1. Can't do that. 2. If she has any! Those things are saggy as hell!" He defended and I laughed.

•••

"Hey Y/n, can I talk to you for a moment?" Beverly asked, lightly tapping my shoulder. "Over by the cliff, while the boys are doing their own thing?" I nodded. I followed her and we sat on towels that we used to sunbathe on. "So, what do you wanna talk about Bev?" I smiled. "It's not really important, heck it even sounds crazy but I just wanted to know if you had a thing for..you know." She stared into the clear blue water, then eyed towards Richie talking about something amongst the others, making them gag.

I just sat there growing red. "Do you?" She whisper-repeated, this time looking at me. "I've only known him for about a day and a half, including this day. So not really." I pressed my lips. "So that means you do? Because you said not really." I shrugged. "I honestly don't know what to think. Even if I did, I can't get ahead of myself because like I said, I've only known you guys for a little while. But I really do appreciate you all as a friendship." I grinned. "That's understandable. Sorry for asking." She apologized. "It's okay! You we're just curious." I assured. "He's actually way happier then he ever was ever since you came around." She faced me. "He was?" She nodded. "Way better then ever. Because of his home life." She finished. "His home life?" That probably explaines why he didn't want to go back home last night. "Yeah. Sorry it's really not my business.." She apologized. "It's okay." I knew it was best to leave it there because I didn't want to seem like a creep.

She smiled and I layed on my stomach, then I heard someone whistle. "Have you been sitting in sugar Y/n? Because that ass is sweet!" Richie commented and I immediately sat up, buring my face in my knees. "Why don't you take a picture Tozier, it'll last longer." Eddie stated. "You're making her uncomfortable, don't you have something better to do?" Beverly spat while patting my back. "No that's my only interest." Richie said in a 'duh' tone. "Yuh-Yuh-you were r-right ab-bout that imp-personation Stan." Bill noted. I lifted my head up and rolled my eyes.
