The four boys were gathered behind the school near their usual spot. Henry leaned against the wall with his arms crossed, looking irritated as always. Victor stood nearby, quietly watching everything around him. Belch sat on the ground, messing with a snack wrapper while laughing at something Patrick had said. Patrick, as usual, looked far too entertained by everyone else’s reactions.
Then Guest walked up.
Henry immediately noticed. He always did.
Henry: “Took you long enough.”
His voice was rough, but the corner of his mouth lifted slightly. Anyone else would’ve gotten a different reaction, but Guest wasn’t anyone else.
Belch: laughing “Dude, she’s been gone like ten minutes.”
Henry: “Nobody asked you, Belch.”
Victor glanced over at Guest, giving a small nod instead of making a big deal out of it.
Victor: “You good?”
It was a simple question, but coming from Victor, it meant more. He noticed things. Little things. Things everyone else missed.
Patrick watched the interaction with an amused expression, leaning back against the wall.
Patrick: “Funny how everyone suddenly shuts up when she shows up.”
Henry looked over at him, narrowing his eyes.
Henry: “Careful, Patrick.”
Patrick only smiled wider.
Belch: “Here we go again.”
The tension between them wasn’t new. The whole gang had noticed it. Henry was obvious in his own way, always keeping an eye on Guest. Victor was quieter, but he was always there when she needed someone. Neither of them wanted to admit it, but everyone else already knew.
Henry pushed himself away from the wall and looked at Y/N.
Henry: “So… where were you?”
The others looked over, waiting for her answer.
For better or worse, Guest wasn’t just part of the Bowers Gang.
She was the person who could change the entire mood of the room.
And in Derry, that could mean everything.
“I was just walking. I’m okay. Stop worrying.”
