My alarm clock rang and bolted straight into a sitting position. I found it hard to breathe, probably because I was already breathing really hard. As my heart rate slowed to its normal rate. I remembered why this was happening. I had a dream that "it" came back. "It"came back and it tried to kill us. We all survived except for...Bill and Stan. I suddenly felt like a piece of me was ripped form my heart. Losing my best friends. Not being able to save them was the worst feeling. Then I imagined what I would be like to lose Richie. I bursted into tears. I was like I had a whole in my chest. Calmed down and wiped my tears remembering that it wasn't real. They were perfectly fine. I got dressed, combed my hair, brushed my teeth and did the rest of the things I normally do in the morning. I went
downstairs and started towards the door. Then, "forgetting something Eddie bear?" My mom said from the living room. I slowly turned around and rolled my eyes as I kissed her on the cheek. "Bye mommy." I said back and left the house.

"RICHIE!" my mom screamed from downstairs, "GET UP FOR SCHOOL!"
"IM ALREADY UP MOM!!" I screamed back. I actually didn't get much sleep last night. I guess I was thinking about stuff...well more like a person. Once I got ready for the day I walked around the corner to the curb where I normally meet Eddie to walk to school. Sure enough, he was there waiting for me. I couldn't help but smile a little, it was always good to see him. He probably had something to say to me about diseases and stuff, it always made me laugh. But the smile faded quickly.

Richie met me at the curb and we started walking. When he first got to the curb my day seemed brighter because I knew he was okay. I knew that the thought of losing him was fake and I squashed all the negative thoughts but the smile he had made me smile too. I was waiting for him to say some stupid joke about my mom or me, but he didn't.
"You okay?" I say.
"Yeah, just thinking." He said back.
"You nervous for the first day?"
"No actually. Now that Bowers is gone, I don't really have anything to worry about." He replied.
"Yeah." I said back.
Then we walked the rest of the way to school. Talking along the way about the teachers we hoped to get.
