"Take everything but the delicious deals guys, mom loves em." Eddie said.
Both Richie and Stanley were rummaging through his cupboard." Hey first you said the berrans, and now you're saying the sewer, I mean, what if we get caught?"

"We won't, edd, the sewers are public works, we're the public aren't we?"

"Hey Eddie, these are birth control pills?" Richie asks, catching his attention.

" Yeah and I'm saving it for your sister, this is private stuff!"

We gathered everything that we were walking with and headed out of the kitchen. The television was playing the sitting room, with eddies mom slouched on a couch watching it.

"Eddie bear," she calls. "Where you boys off to in such a rush?"

"Um j-just my house, my backyard, Mrs k," I said as she eyes me steadily. "I got a new.."

"A new Nintendo switch, jeez, spit it out b-bill," Eddie says.

"Ok," Mrs k said, eying us warily. "Oh and sweetie, don't go rolling around in the grass, especially if it's just been cut. You know how bad your allergies can get."

"Yes mom," Eddie says softly.
   We were just about to leave when she spoke. "Aren't you forgetting something?"

Eddie turns slowly, letting out a loud sigh before making his way over to his mother. He gave her a tiny peck on the cheek, while Richie snickers like an idiot. "Do you want one from me too Mrs k i- Eddie shoves him right out the door before he could say anymore.

"That's poison ivy, and that's poison ivy and that's poison ivy," Stanley observed, pointing to all the trees that surrounded the sewers exit.

"Where, where's the poison ivy?" Eddie asks.

"Nowhere, not every fucking plant is poison ivy stanley," Richie said.

"Ok well I'm starting to get itchy now and I'm pretty sure this is not my-

"Do you use the same bathroom as your mother?" Richie asked, cutting him off.

  "Sometimes yea," Eddie said.

"Then you probably have crabs."

"That's so not funny," Eddie snapped.

Both me and richie turned to see stanley and Eddie still waiting at the entrance.
"Aren't you guys coming in?" Richie asked.

"Nuh uh, it's grey water," Eddie said shaking his head in disgust.

"What the hells grey water," Richie said.

"It's basically piss and shit so I'm just telling you," Eddie said, shrugging. "You guys will splash around millions of gallons of Derry pee."

Richie picks up a black plastic on his stick out of the water." Are you serious what are y-

"Doesn't smell like kaka to me senior!" He said, turning the stick towards Eddie.

"Ok I can.. I can smell that from here," Eddie said, scrunching up his nose.

"It's probably just your breath wafting back into your face," Richie said.

Eddie scoffs, shaking his head in annoyance. "Have you ever heard of a staff infection? It's so unsanitary it was literally like something inside of a toilet bowl right now and ahh!" Eddie yelps as Richie threw the stinky plastic in his directions.

I wasn't paying attention to them, that's when I spotted something amongst the trash. "Guys," I said, turning towards them with what I had just found.

"Shit, don't tell me that's.."Stanley trails, a bit of horror in his eyes.
