"You saw It?" Max asked. "Yes," Dustin replied. "It attacked me while I was walking home from school yesterday."
"How the hell are you here then?" Will asked. "I ran all the way to my house, and It wasn't there," Dustin replied. "What did it look like?" Max asked. "It had a white face, red clown hair, and.. I can't remember the rest," Dustin replied.
"We still haven't found a way to defeat It," Lucas said. "Maybe Mike Hanlon could help us," Max said. The bell rang. "We need to go," Will said.
Max walked outside of her last class and saw Billy standing outside of his car. Max walked over to the car. "Hi, Billy," Max said. Billy was smiling. It wasn't a normal smile. It was an evil smile.
"Billy, are you okay?" Max asked. "You'll float too, Max," Billy said. "What did you say?" Max asked, confused.
Suddenly, Billy turned into a red-haired clown. "You'll float too," the clown said in a raspy voice.
Max got her skateboard and skated away, being chased by the clown until she reached her house. "Come here, Max!" the clown said.
The clown entered the house, still chasing after Max. But Max ran all the way to her room, where the real Billy was.
"What the hell?" Billy said, pointing to behind Max. Max turned around and saw the clown in the room.
"You're not real!" Max said to the clown. Max closed her eyes and opened them. The clown was gone.
"What the hell just happened?" Billy asked. "I don't know," Max said. But she knew what had happened. It had shapeshifted into Billy.
"Well, there has to be an explanation," Billy said. Suddenly, It reappeared behind Billy and grabbed Billy. "Let go of him you clown!" Max exclaimed.
"I'll take him and I'll take you as well!" It said, laughing. The laugh echoed throughout the house. Billy managed to grab a knife from his pocket. As Billy held the silver weapon in his hand, Max could tell that the clown was scared.
It suddenly let go of Billy and disappeared, leaving a floating red balloon behind. As Billy and Max were looking at the balloon, it suddenly popped, startling both Billy and Max.
"It's gone," Max said, relieved. "What just happened?" Billy asked, confused. "I don't know, but it was really scary," Max said. "We got to tell Mom and Dad," Billy said. "They won't believe us," Max said. "There is currently no evidence to prove that that clown was here."
"Well, we have to do something," Billy said. "What if this is the same clown that your friend reported seeing?"
"Mike saw the clown in the sewers," Max said. "Maybe we could find it there."
