1. Chapter 1

Chris and Gordie vs. Teddy and Vern

Abby didn't want to be seen. She preferred staying in the house all day in the small town of Castle Rock doing nothing. Her life was very simple and she had few friends to whom she could speak with. The friends that she did have were four guys, four guys that she had absolutely nothing in common with. Chris was the leader, a kid with a tough-guy image who would puff a cigarette but also watch over his friends and keep peace. Gordie was the guy who appeared shy on the outside, but was actually not so when you got to know him. He wrote stories for pure enjoyment and it helped him to escape the reality of not being cared about by his father. Teddy was the crazy, up for adventure kind of guy whose laugh sounded like some sort of creature was being tortured or nails against a chalkboard. Lastly, there was Vern, a scaredy-cat kid that collected pennies for enjoyment. These were the four different guys Abby hung out with on occasion. Sometimes she wondered why she was friends with them and how they even liked her. They all smoked, she hated the idea of putting a cigarette in her mouth. They would sit and swear at each other while playing a card game, and she covered her ears while they did. Abby hadn't even said the word hell before in her life and she wasn't planning on ever doing it. They couldn't be more different but still they took her in as part of the gang.

They started out in 1st grade as awkward little children never communicating. But as they got older, they began to be drawn together, like an unknown force was physically binding them. By the time they were all in middle school, they spent every spare second together, coming up with some crazy idea of what to do. Now they were all in high school, 9th graders. But by this time, they had slowly begun to drift apart. Abby spent most of her time alone now, only occasionally visiting the boys in the tree house. There was a reason for it all.

In 8th grade there had been an incident involving Teddy. He had done something to hurt Abby's feelings. Only him and Abby knew about it. The both of them refused to talk about it to Gordie, Chris, and Vern. So for over a year, Teddy and Abby awkwardly talked but the other boys knew there was a problem. Their friendship was never the same again.

Ok so this is just Chapter One. There will be more coming soon hopefully :)
