Henry Bowers

It's not like Henry was friends with you. He was forced.

You had no friends from kindergarten through high school, but your family was rich! Then why didn't anyone want to be friends with you? You were so wonderful, beautiful, kind and rich...! It's simple. You just weren't liked by the earth. You were often the subject of terrible rumors that weren't true, and you were bullied in and out of school.

But you had friends in high school, but they just took advantage of you. Because of your rich parents, everyone used your money, and you were too gullible to open your eyes to the truth....

But when your parents noticed how tortured you were even after long counseling sessions with psychologists, they decided to take extreme measures.

Your parents paid money to Oscar Bowers (because he wanted his son to be friends, socialize or at least have some contact with you. But Henry, of course, didn't want to be friends or have anything to do with you!

Well, why Henry's father? Because his father and your father worked the same job. Your father was a supervisor and Oscar was an officer.

Henry has been "friends" with you in secret from his gang, because if they found out, they would make fun of Henry, and he doesn't want that.

Of course, you didn't know that Henry was talking to you for money and, so to speak... taking advantage of you, too. But slowly and moderately, he grew more and more accustomed to you and... in truth grew to love you very much. He didn't understand why you were hated at all?

But still, even if he changed his mind about you, that didn't mean he'd tell the gang about you and your friendship. No. Not now, not ever.

Now the two of you were both sitting at Henry's house playing on his flat iron until you heard the sound of a car and a horn. Henry first thought it was his father and looked out the window, but he was surprised to see Belch's car.....

He opened the window and heard his friends calling him for a ride around Derry... and then for the sake of interest you also looked out of the window behind Henry and naturally Victor, Patrick and Belch noticed you.

"Hey, Henry, who's that with you? Is it really that weirdo!?"

Henry turned around with a frightened expression and pushed you away, turning back to the window.

"You're imagining things! Why would I hang out with that weirdo? You know I just can't stand her ugly face."

He shouldn't have said that.

You felt very hurt as Henry was just being hypocritical.

With a grim and pained expression on your face, you barely holding back tears walked out of his room, to which he reacted and followed you in a panic.

"Hey! Wait!" he exclaimed.

He didn't know what to do. His friends were waiting for him outside, and you were on your way out.
