IT (but its modern day and set in britain)

by trashmouth_soph (orphan_account)

Summary:

it's IT but modern and in motherfucking Britain. This is my first fic (kinda??) but its a WIP. I will try update it. Again, it's almost 4am, I haven't slept at all and I've just been playing Minecraft for the past two hours. Ao3 writers curse take me now. Its mainly about richie because he's my favourite but i will try keep semi-close to canon to THE MOVIE. NOT THE BOOK. SPECIFICALLY BECAUSE OF THAT ONE SCENE. btw soph if you see this (this is soph and yes i'm seeing this), I pressed add co creators just in case you wanted it even though you don't know much about Britain. enjoy guys. leave constructive criticism in the comments so I can get better. I am running off what I learned in English.

Chapter 1: fucking hate britain

It wasn't a great start to the day. The sky was grey (as usual, its Britain for fucks sake) but alas, I had to go school. It's about a 10 minute walk to school and you'd think "that's not that bad, Richie. It's not that far away" Well when there's 5 fucking road closures because of 'repairs' (absolute bullshit! they're just repainting it most of the time) and Henry Bowers and his gang about to jump you at any second, it's hard not to hate going to school.

Today, I went a different way than usual though. I got up early for once and left the house so I could wait for Eddie outside his house and we could walk together. Eddie was sure as hell taking his time though, the little twat. He's my best friend though so he gets a pass.

"Hey, Rich!"

Eddie calls out. Finally.

"Hey Eds! How's it going?" I spoke brightly. I don't know why but he always makes me feel better. I could be having the time of my life but if he wasn't there, it just didn't seem as good.

"Don't call me Eds. Come on, let's go already. We're gonna be late."

"Whatever you say, Edward."

"..I hate you."

We talked the whole way there. Well, mostly Eddie. Usually it's me who won't shut up but I let him do most of the talking today. I like hearing his voice. It's a best friend thing. I think.

Chapter 2: Eddie's pov

Summary:

I'm gonna try make it switch between POVs so this is Eddie's lmao. dunno if anybody is even reading this but if you did, sorry for making you wait so long.

Notes:

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

"Ugh... I can't do this."

I get up out of bed. I check my phone and it's 7 30 am. I saw a message from Richie. That was surprising. Usually he slept until like 8 20 and he only had 15 minutes before he'd be late. He was gonna walk with me to school today. I smile.

Asshole ❤

Asshole ❤: HEY EDS!!!! IM GONNA WALK W YOU TO SCHOL GODAY SHJFLDHQJ

You: omg you actually woke up early?? what a surprise

Asshole ❤: I could just go back to sleep

You: bitch

Asshole ❤: GET READY!!

You: IM NOT THE ONE YOU SHOULD BE WORRIED ABOUT

 

I get dressed into my uniform. I feel like it's slightly tight on me and I cheer slightly. To most people it'd seem annoying but for me it means I'm growing! Finally, im not gonna be the height of a Year 4! I get my pills, inhaler, phone, time out pass and my toilet pass and shove it in my blazer pocket. I put on my coat and bag and get out of my room.

"Hi mummy, can you buy me new uniform please? It's a bit tight on me now."

My mum nods and gestured to me to come to her to give her good morning kiss which could possibly be one of the worst parts of my morning. But it's 'mandatory' because she doesn't want me 'drifting away from her'. Honestly, this makes me wanna move out already.

"My baby, you're growing up so fast! I'll get it one size big so if you grow again, you'll still fit and not be uncomfy."

I smile and go make myself breakfast. I had a bit of extra time so I made porridge with the frozen fruits packet that I found in the freezer. I have to eat slowly because otherwise, my mum will think I'm trying to kill myself by choking.

I realise the time and see the 20+ notifications from Richie on my phone. I kiss my mum goodbye and run out the door.

Notes:

I have no clue what a year 4 is in America so soph when you see this just say what it is
