It Knows You Too Well
"Henry, I hear we get some new chick in class today" Patrick said just as they were
walking to class.
"Better not be another FAT kid like that Ben! Fuck I hate him!" Henry replied just as
they walked through the door.
They 3 bullies took their seats. Patrick sat right at the back. With Belch to his right,
and Henry infront of him.
"Now, today class" the teacher started "We have another new student, her name is Sarah,
please welcome her to this class".
The girl whose name was Sarah stood up and walked to the front of the class. Most of the
goody goods, like Billy, Eddie, Ritchie, Ben, Stan and Bev clapped to welcome her.
The bullies stared.
Belch leaned over to Patrick, "She's a hottie" he belched quietly.
Henry thought so too.
"Why don't you tell us little about yourself Sarah?" The teacher asked.
"Well" Sarah began "There isn't much to tell about me, I like shopping, but I see there
aren't alot of fashion stores around her" she said sharply at Billy and his gang. "And, I hate
people that get in my way!" Sarah finished. The teacher looked stunned.
"Thank you Sarah, you can take the seat beside Henry, the boy in the brown leather
jacket" The teacher said then walked up to the front of the class.
Sarah was new, but she already wanted to cause alittle hell. She started writing a note.
She leaned over to Henry, he froze up alittle, but played it cool.
"What is the name of the girl over there?" Sarah asked.
"...Bev" Henry replied, wondering what she was upto.
Sarah continued writing. About 3 minutes later she leaned over to Henry again, handing
him the note.
"Pass this note back to me, don't read it though, make it look like you got it from over
by that Bev girl" Sarah finished then sat back in her chair. Henry casually passed the note to
Sarah. She pretended to read it.
"Sarah! Not even here a day and already reading notes in class! Would you like to share
it with the rest of the class!" The teacher asked sharply.
"Alright, I got it from Bev, it's not very polite though" Sarah said standing up and
clearing her throat.
Bev tried to say something but Sarah interrupted her.
"It says to Sarah" Sarah began,
"Hi, I'm Bev, I just wanted to ask what you think of Ben, he's the fat kid that sits
across from me. Isn't he just so nasty?? He makes me wanna puke, I swear! I hate him, he's so
fat! Sometimes I just wanna call him LARDASS!" Sarah finished and sat down. Henry, Patrick and
Belch were all laughing hysterically. Ben looked like he was going to cry.
"I...I... didn't write that!! I swear!" Bev pleaded, but the teacher had heard enough.
"Come with me to the principles office, we are going to have alittle talk. Class, read
chapter 6 in your books. I will not be gone to long" the Teacher said, then took Bev by the arm
and lead her out of class.
Henry leaned over to Sarah "That was a pretty wicked thing you did there. You are fucking
awesome!" he stated.
Sarah smiled, she was bad and she knew it.
The loser club (Billy and his gang) looked over.
"Th...th..that..wasn't...ve...very..nice...S...S...Sarah" Billy stuttered.
"What, she gave me the note" Sarah said innocently.
"That's bull" Ben retorted.
Sarah huffed then turned around to face Belch.
"Hi" she said.
"Hello" Belch said, without belching. It was almost a first for him.
Then she turned to face Patrick.
She smiled at him "Hey, you look cute in that jacket of yours" she said, trailing her
fingers on the outside of his shoulders. He smiled at her.
"Where did you move from? And why the fuck would ya wanna come to Derry?" Patrick asked,
trying to sound somewhat polite.
"We moved from Winnipeg, I had to come her, my fucking father got a job transfer" Sarah
complained, then smiled. "So, are there any other hot guys her besides you 3?"
The bullies were silent.
"I'll take that as a no" Sarah smiled and turned back around just as you could hear the
teaching coming down the hall.
The teacher entered the room and looked at Sarah "Did you do nothing the whole time I
was gone?"
"No Ma'am, Henry here was nice enough to share his book with me" Sarah said pretending
like she was just reading.
"Well, that's good, I will get another book for you so you can have one of your own"
The teacher replied and walked over to a shelf on the left side of the wall and searched for
another book.
Class seemed to drag forever after that. But finally the bell rang. The sweet ringing
sound that meant freedom!
Sarah walked out the doors and down the steps. She walked slowly, she kinda dreaded the
thought of going home. Just as she left the schoolyard, she spotted Belch, Patrick and Henry.
She walked over to the casually.
"Hey, did you guys run here?" She asked, they kinda looked like they've been there for
awhile.
"Nah, we just like pissing off the Ass-Kissers club" Belch... well... belched.
"Oooo.... talented!" Sarah said, acting amazed.
"So, do you guys just like... bug them and shit?" Sarah asked.
"I fucken wanna kill them" Henry replied angrily.
"Really? Why haven't you?" she asked.
"For the obvious reasons and it's more fun to scare the living shit out of them!" Henry
said laughing.
"So, you got a boyfriend back home?" Belch asked.
"No..." Sarah said, flashing a seductive smile.
Patrick looked hopeful.
"Why don't you guys have girlfriends?" Sarah asked.
They were all silent again.
"There's no chick's in this place. It's like you stay single here unless you're gay!"
Belch replied.
Just then the "losers" walked by.
"Hey!" Henry said.
"Oh great Henry Bowers!" Eddie said, grabbing for his atheism puffer.
"Listen you little shit heads, you better fucking watch it! I got a bone to pick with
all of you!" Henry said acting tough... and showing off alittle for Sarah.
"Fuck you!" Ritchie called.
"Listen 4 eyes, why don't you come over here and say that!" Belch called back.
"Let me take this" Sarah said whispering to Henry and walking up to Ritchie.
"Ritchie right?" Sarah began.
Ritchie nodded.
"Listen, you little pussy assed wet mop. If you don't fucking get out of here, I will
make your life a living hell! Every where you'll go, every person you see will be against you.
And there is nothing you will be able to do about it" Sarah whispered into his ear, then licked
it playfully.
Ritchie stood there frozen to his spot. Patrick smiled at Sarah. She was great, hot and
evil, the way he liked 'em.
"C'mon guys, lets go" Billy said to the gang. Then they all walked towards the Barrens.
"That Sarah girl creeps me out!" Bev said.
"So what did the principle tell you?" Ben asked.
"I have to erase and wash all the blackboards after school for a month!" Bev said,
sighing heavily and sitting down.
"We so believe that you didn't write that. We know you wouldn't!" Stan commented.
"Why would she do that?" Ritchie asked, still alittle in shock.
"I'm not sure" said Billy.
Just as they actually started to relax there. They heard an evil laugh.
"I've heard that laugh before!" Bev cried "I had a dream about a clown, he talked to me
and said that he was going to kill me and he said that everything floats down here!".
"Let's fallow it" Billy suggested.
"But Billy!" Stan retorted.
"C'mon, just to see what it is" Eddie said, following Billy.
They all followed Billy. They wandered in the Barrens for about 2 minutes. When they
came to a lake. On the other side of the lake was a large place that led to the sewers. Just as
they all looked around, a clown appeared ontop of the water. It held a huge bouquet of balloons,
all colours. It smiled and pointed at them.
"You wanta balloon?" It asked in a deep raspy voice.
They all looked stunned.
As quickly as the clown came, he disappeared again.
The children all looked around, slightly puzzled and very afraid. They all saw the thing.
As one of them was about to speak, about 50 balloons fell on them. Like rain they fell.
They all jumped.
Then the balloons started popping. Blood sprayed everywhere from the balloons. The children
screamed in terror and they fled from the Barrens.
Bev ran from the pack and into her house. Her father was sitting infront of the TV with
a beer... no suprise. Bev ran to the bathroom to clean her self up, after that she walked to her
room.
She pushed open the door and and walked over to her dresser. She opened the top drawer
and pulled out her dairy. She sat on her bed and began to write...
June 10th, Dear Diary,
We got a new girl at school today, her name is Sarah. I already dislike her.
She got me in big trouble. Why would she do that though? I think Henry,
Patrick and Belch like her. Anyway, something bigger then that also
happened today. I will never forget it, NEVER! Me, Billy, Ritchie, Eddie,
Stan and Ben were all at the Barrens. The new girl Sarah had scared Ritchie
pretty bad. Anyway, all of a sudden we heard this scary laugh. It was the
same laugh that I wrote about in my dream not to long ago. I was so scared.
Then we went to go investigate what it was. We came upto a large lake. On
the other side of the lake was a huge building that lead to the sewers. Then
we saw this clown! Standing on the water, holding a huge bouquet of balloons.
It laughed and then looked straight at us and said "You wanta balloon?". Then
it disappeared again. I was so scared! Then we all ran the whole way home...
*Over at Billy's House*
Bill lay in his bed. Thinking of the clown... it's hideous face those funny pompoms it
wore. The thought made him shudder. Then his kid brother walked in.
"Hi Bill, can you tell me a story?" Georgie begged.
"Not right now G...G...Georgie, I do...don't feel so hot" Billy said, his face was
getting flushed.
"C'mon Bill, tell the story about the Magic Stones! Please Bill" Georgie continued to beg.
"N...N...no. Now buzz off you little cootie!" Bill protested.
Georgie started to walk away.
"G...G...Georgie, I have something for you" Bill said reaching under his bed. He pulled
out a paper boat.
"For me?? You made it for me??" Georgie said excitedly "Can I go sail it?"
"Well you gotta s..seal it first, with p...p...p...parafin" Bill stuttered.
"What is it, where can I get some?" Georgie said happily.
"In the c...c...cellar" Bill said.
Georgie gulp. He walked into the kitchen and opened the door to the cellar. He reached
for the light switch and flicked it on. Nothing happened. He tried again, nothing happened. He
took a deep breath and ran down the stairs, grabbed the parafin and ran back up and slammed the
door behind him.
Billy started to seal the boat. It only took him a few minutes.
"H...here you go" Bill said handing the boat to Georgie.
"Aww, thanks Bill" he said, leaning over and kissing Bill.
"G...Gross, now you got c...c...cooties all over me" Bill said. Georgie walked out of
the room.
Just as he was outside of the door Bill yelled to him. "G...G...Georgie, don't stay out
to long or mom will have a bird".
Georgie nodded.
"And G...Georgie... becareful" Bill said smiling at him.
"Sure, sure I will" Georgie said, thinking Billy was acting alittle strange.
* * *
"Beep beep... S.S.GEORGIE coming your way Beep Beep" Georgie called as his boat sailed.
Over and over he called it as his boat sailed along in the guter of the street. He jumped over
branches that were in his way. And he went under road block signs. The boat sailed smoothly...
but then, it feel into a sewer drain on the side of the road!
"No, please, NO!" Georgie yelled. He ran and looked down the sewer... nothing.
Georgie sighed and started to get up to walk away.
"Hiya Georgie" said a deep raspy vioce from the sewers.
Georgie turned around. A clown popped up!
"Aren't ya gonna say "hello?"" the clown asked.
Georgie shook his head.
"Don't ya want a ballon?" the clown asked as a ballon popped up beside him.
Georgie started to reach for it, but he stopped. "I'm not suppose to take stuff from
strangers. My dad says so" Georgie said.
"Very wise of your dad. I'm Pennywise the dancing clown! And you...are Georgie. So now
we know each other. Key-rect?" Pennywise answered.
"I guess so... well I got to go" Georgie said, trying to get up again.
"Go?" The clown asked "Without this?" Pennywise said, holding up Georgies boat.
"MY BOAT!" Georgie said happily.
"Yea, go on... take it" The clown said hold it close to him so Georgie would have to
stretch to get it.
Georgie reached for it but just before he grabbed it. Pennywise dropped the boat and
grabbed Georgies arm.
"EVERYTHING FLOATS DOWN HERE, AND WHEN YOU COME, YOU'LL FLOAT TOO!" Pennywise yelled
just before he ripped Georgies arm off!
* * *
The funeral was hard for Billy's familly. There youngest child was killed. Billy knew
why now, And it grieved him so much to know that it was almost like it was his fault he died.
* ONE*MONTH*LATER*
Patrick was with Sarah. They sat down in the Barrens. Henry and Belch would be along
soon.
"So...Sarah. You've been here about a month. What do you think of it?" Patrick asked,
wanting desperately to put a move on her.
"It's alright I guess" Sarah said, turning to face Patrick.
"That's cool" Patrick said, stuffing his hands in his pockets.
Sarah sat quietly for awhile.
"So, you do want a boyfriend" Patrick asked, trying to stay cool but seriously desperate.
"Yea, I mean, it would be cool" Sarah said, looking Patrick in the eyes.
"You wanna be my girlfriend?" Patrick asked, quietly as he turned red.
Sarah smiled "Yea, sure!" She put her hand on top of Patrick's.
