After the events that took place in 1985, the losers club became closer, but drifted apart as their high school careers ended and began attending college. They still called each other on the phone every once in awhile, but the conversations never lasted long. They wrote letters sometimes, but those eventually ended. They all missed each other, being in different states, but rarely got together, even when they were all home.
Bill Denbrough, also known as Stuttering Bill when he was younger, didn't quite stutter as much anymore, unless he's stressed or angry. He's taking English, professional writing, journalism and creative writing and his professors kept him on his toes.
Eddie Kaspbrak is still the hypochondriac everyone knew him for when they were younger. He's studying to become a Pharmacist, and is taking chemistry, biology, anatomy, physiology, advanced math and English, which kept him incredibly busy. Even too busy for his best friend and boyfriend, Richie.
Richie Tozier, the trashmouth of the losers club. Although he's hilarious, he's still a trashmouth that has no filter whatsoever. He's one out of the group who isn't attending college, and is currently making a name for himself in the small town of Derry, Maine, as a comedian/singer. His raunchy jokes and gross puns held a special place in many people's hearts nowadays. He's had a few gigs with his band, named Trashmouth, of course, and is a very talented singer.
Mike Hanlon, another who doesn't attend college, has been working at the library since he was sixteen. Now, at 22 years old, he's possibly one of the most favorited librarians to work there in the last few years. Though he's known as the Lucky Seven to some of the losers club, he's also almost like the glue, as he would always try and get everyone together for a little reunion of some sorts when everyone was in town.
Ben Hanscom, the boy who used to be picked on because of his weight, has become taller and slimmer. When the losers club began attending high school, he became obsessed with architecture and is taking architectural courses along with English, Laboratory Science, and Mathematics. Because of his fascination with old buildings and history in general, he works alongside Mike at the library when he's in town.
Stanley Uris, the mature one out of the losers club, who disagreed with just about anything that was possibly dangerous. Known as Stan or Stan the man by Richie and Bill, Stan were the closest with the two. He's taking multiple math classes, such as algebra, geometry and calculus to become an accountant. He's helping his father out with the church.
Last but not least, Beverly Marsh, the only girl in the losers club, mostly known as Bev or Bevvy. After the events of 1985, Bev moved away from Derry to live with her Aunt and cousin, Maryanne and Elizabeth Hively in Hawkins, Indiana. She shared a kiss with Bill before leaving Derry, and the two were a not so official couple, even seven years later, but wrote each other and called each other all the time to talk. She doesn't attend college, but she loves fashion and wants to attend college in the future. When she moved to Hawkins and started school in 1985, she met a lively bunch of teens who had also been through a lot the last two years.
After the events of 1984, when Eleven closed the gate and the lab was shut down, everything went back to normal. Or as normal as things could get. After high school, half of the kids began attending college, and the other's did different things, but always stayed in touch, no matter what.
Jane Hopper, known as Eleven because of her tattoo, also known as just El. El ended up beginning school a year later, in the middle of the teens freshman year, and absolutely loved it. She and Mike were together, and that made it even better. They graduated, and at 18, she got a job working at the police station, filing paperwork, taking calls, and multiple other things. It was boring most of the time, but she loved it anyways. She and Bev were fast friends, right along with Max.
Michael Wheeler, usually known as Mike, little brother of Nancy and older brother of Holly. He's the leader of the group, and he reminded her of Bill in that sense. He most definitely reminded her of Richie, the two looked identical, other than they had different fashion senses, Richie has glasses, and Mike was nowhere near as much of a potty mouth as Richie. As first, she was skeptical about him because it freaked her out so much, but he ended up being a sweetheart. When they graduated, he almost immediately began training and is now working alongside Hopper at the police station.
Dustin Henderson, the jokester of the group, still wears the same hat from when he was in middle school. He's grown taller, and beefed up. Known as toothless by their middle school bullies, he's grown quite the set of pearls. He's also Steve Harrington's best friend. As of right now, he's taking multiple classes, such as; biology, chemistry, organic chemistry, biochemistry, to be a veterinarian, and those are only for the first two years, him beginning his third in the fall. He'll then take physics, microbiology, anatomy and physiology, math, animal science, and more, and that's just preparing for veterinary school. When Bev met him, she thought he had a mix of Richie, because of his potty mouth, and Ben, because of his fascination with history and love of animals.
Will Byers, he's the quiet one, intelligent, known as Will the Wise by most of his friends because of their love for Dungeons & Dragons. He's Jonathan's little brother. When he and Bev met, she could tell the teen had been through a lot in his short life, but admired him for it. He's an insanely talented artist, and is currently taking classes to be an art teacher. He's earning his bachelor's degree, and completing a teacher education program. He seems like a mix of Eddie, Stanley, and Bill, but only a little on Eddie's part.
Lucas Sinclair, the mature, more thoughtful one of the group. Although he does his best to do the right thing and stay out of trouble, over the last few years he and his friends have gotten themselves into interesting situations, but always managed to get them back out of it. He's taking classes to become an Biology teacher, working on earning his bachelor's degree as well, and working on completing a teacher's education program, much like Will's.
Maxine Mayfield, only known as Max, the fiery red head of the group. She doesn't go to college, though she might in the future. She and Lucas have been together officially since the summer of 1985, considering the two were both too scared to admit their feelings to each other. She works at the arcade as the manager, and loves seeing all the excited kids come and play games. She and Bev are sometimes mistaken for sisters or even twins, mainly because of the fact that they both have red hair and freckles, but they think it's hilarious.
