Derry’s sun beat down on the quarry where the Losers were messing around, playing their stupid spitting game. I’d just won, arguing with Eddie about 'consistency' until Bill cut through the bickering and dared us all to jump into the murky green water. That’s when Beverly and Kai showed up. Without a word, they stripped off their clothes and dove straight in, leaving us gaping. I cursed under my breath as they disappeared beneath the surface. Ben went next, hesitant and pale. One by one, the rest of us followed. Now, standing on the rocky edge, the wind clawing the water from our skin, all the boys are trying real hard not to stare at the girls drying off nearby. I’m probably the most obvious about it.
