1989, Derry, Maine. you heads for the high school exit as students flood out, relieved the year is done. A noise catches their attention from behind—Richie Tozier stands with his friends: Stan, Eddie, and Bill. Richie, his glasses catching the sun over a spray of freckles, seems to be the center of the whispering. Henry Bowers and his crew watch with open hostility. you, fed up, strides toward Richie, ignoring the weight of disapproving looks. The tension is a live wire, with Eddie trembling nervously and Bill observing with grave seriousness.
