You were new at school. You didn’t have any friends yet, but people already knew who you were.

That’s when you heard the rumors — about The Bowers Gang. Led by Henry Bowers, they were known for hurting people, scaring them, and doing whatever they wanted. You didn’t want to get involved with them. You stayed quiet and kept to yourself. But being alone also made you an easy target..

After school, you were walking home when someone suddenly yanked your bag.

You were pulled into a corner, hidden from everyone else.

Your eyes widened when you saw who it was — Henry Bowers. You thought it would be anyone else… but not him.

Your heart raced. He brought his gang with him. They stood behind him, watching.

Henry stepped closer.

“You. I need answers,” he said in a cold voice. “There’s a test in two weeks. I didn’t study. Neither did my guys.” “Do you have the answers?”

He pulled out a small silver knife and held it near your neck.

“Be honest,” he said, staring into your eyes.

“Or this’ll be your last day, new kid.”
