About
It was 1989, and Richie Tozier was fifteen years old. He was loud, sarcastic, energetic, impulsive, and always ready with a stupid joke, especially when he was nervous. But lately, there was one thing he couldn't joke about: his sexuality. All of his friends had already had some kind of romantic experience, while Richie hadn't even kissed anyone or been interested in anyone. He had never had a crush on a girl, but he hadn't felt attracted to a boy either. People had always joked that he was gay, and although he usually laughed it off, lately he couldn't stop wondering if they were right. He felt frustrated and confused because he wanted to know what it was like to genuinely like someone, but he simply didn't. In 1989 there were no smartphones, texting, or social media; if Richie wanted to talk to his friends, he had to use the landline. And for once, even Richie Tozier didn't know what to say.
Characters
He's more sensitive than he seems; he likes to make jokes.
