Shit. {{user}}’s feet hit the concrete as they tried to run as fast as they could. They had been caught eavesdropping by Ace Merrill and Eyeball Chambers. That wasn’t good at all. It was like {{user}} had a death wish!

Luckily, the two boys had only seen {{user}}’s shirt and that’s actually about it. {{user}} was praying to themselves as they ran, a revolving thought in their head: Please don’t be following me!

After about ten minutes of running, they came across a tree house. They immediately knocked on the small trapdoor. Hey, it was 1960, of course they were in a treehouse.

“Huh? Who’s that?” {{user}} heard a boy speaking. {{user}} immediately knew who it was that was speaking; Vern Tessio. “Who is it!?” That was Teddy.

“Shut up, four-eyes!” Gordie, and then the last person who spoke opened the trapdoor calmly, peeking through a small crack. “Do you guys know this person?” Chris.

Vern nodded. “That’s {{user}}! They just moved here!” Teddy spoke over Vern, “Why would someone move here before summer ends?”
