BEVERLY MARSH
┗︎━︎━︎━︎━︎━︎━︎━︎━︎━︎━︎┛︎
Aubrey had only been here two days and her mother was making her go to school, even though it was the last week before they got out for summer. She woke up with an annoyed grunt and stumbled out of her bed. Her foot got caught in the sheet causing the blonde to fall with a loud THUMP.
"What a great way to start off your day, Aubrey." Aubrey mumbled to herself before standing up and walking to the bathroom. She took a quick shower and blow dried her hair. She threw on a purple and white striped t-shirt along with some high waisted shorts. She threw on a random pair of socks and quickly slipped on her shoes.
She put in her contacts and trailed down the hallway to make sure Cara was up. When she noticed her sister's absence from her bed, that answered her question. She walked down the steps and into the kitchen. Her mother was still asleep causing Aubrey to roll her eyes.
She grabbed an apple, rinsed it off, and quickly ate it. Cara trailed down the steps and Aubrey handed her an apple which she quickly consumed.
"Come on, we're gonna be late." Aubrey said as she grabbed her bag, throwing it over her shoulder. She tossed Cara her's and the siblings went out of the door. They both grabbed their bikes and rode to the school. There were so many kids and Aubrey was already regretting today. She chained her bike to the bike rack, her sister copying her actions.
"Be good okay? Wait for me after school." Aubrey lightly demanded of her sister who just nodded. She walked into the building and made her way to the office. She quickly gave her name to the person at the front desk, and Aubrey was ordered to wait for her tour guide.
She sat there for about five minutes before a young girl with beautiful long red hair walked through the door. She had freckles dotting her face, and the most gorgeous eyes. She turned to look at Aubrey and gave her a perfect smile. Aubrey gave a small one back and stood up.
"You ready for the tour?" The redhead asked and Aubrey nodded her head. They walked out of the office building and went down the now empty hallway.
"So, what's your name?" The redhead asked. Aubrey looked at her before quietly saying, "Aubrey McClain."
"Well, Aubrey McClain, I'm Beverly Marsh. Welcome to Derry. Where are you from?" Beverly asked looking at the blonde.
"I'm from London." Aubrey answered with a shy smile.
"Oh cool!" Beverly said with a smile and Aubrey lightly chuckled.
"Yeah, I guess."
Beverly showed her around the whole school before leading her to the first class that she had.
"Well, this is where we part ways. I hope to see you around, Aubrey." Beverly said kindly and Aubrey nodded her head.
"Yeah you too, Beverly." Aubrey replies before opening the door to the math class. The teacher looked at her as well as the other students.
"Ah, you must be the new student!" The teacher exclaimed and Aubrey nodded her head before closing the door behind her and taking a step forward.
"Class, this is Aubrey. Our new transfer student all the way from London." The teacher spoke and Aubrey felt awkward.
"Aubrey why don't you go take a seat beside Richie. Richie raise your hand." The teacher spoke and Aubrey looked up to see a boy with dark curly hair and giant glasses raising his hand. Aubrey shyly walked over to the empty seat beside him and sat her back down onto the floor.
"Why did you come on the last week of school?" Richie whispered to the blonde who just looked at him and shrugged her shoulders.
"My mom made me." Aubrey quietly answered.
"Well that's fucking retarded." Richie answered and Aubrey chuckled at the boy and nodded in agreement.
"Yeah. It is." Aubrey answered with a small smile. Next she had science and sat in between two boys by the name of Eddie and Bill who just so happened to be friends with Richie. Then she had lunch.
She sat down at a table with a tray of food that looked very distasteful. She slightly pushed the tray away and instead pulled out her book and started to read.
"Aubrey! I've been looking for you!" Came a familiar voice. Aubrey looked up to see Beverly walking toward her with a smile. She sat down in front of the blonde causing the girl to close her book and look at her.
"Aren't you going to eat?" Beverly asked nodding her head toward the girl's tray of food.
"Yeah...no. That looks poisoned." Aubrey commented glancing at the food before looking at the girl once more. The sun was hidden between the trees and the little amount of light that was shining through was hitting Beverly's face making her freckles pop out, and causing her hair to stand out.
"Aubrey, you okay? You're staring." Beverly spoke and Aubrey blinked and looked down at her book as she felt a slight blush run it's way up to her cheeks.
"Y-yeah." Aubrey stuttered before clearing her throat. "I'm fine, I just zoned out."
"Okay." The two girls sat there and conversed before going to their next class which they happened to have together. They sat beside each other and Aubrey couldn't help but send glances at the redhead. Aubrey found her...attractive. She didn't know why, but when she looked at the redhead her breath was taken away.
Beverly looked at the blonde and chuckled.
"What?" Beverly asked with a smile and Aubrey's face turned red from embarrassment. She had been caught staring, Beverly probably thought that she was some weirdo now.
"N-nothing." Aubrey answered and sent her the best smile she could muster. She looked down at her desk and closed her eyes as she mentally scolded herself. Aubrey went through the rest of the day and found out that she had her third and last class with Beverly.
She walked to her locker as the bell rang and gathered her things. She closed her locker as she swung her backpack over shoulders. She was about to start walking when Beverly called out for her. She turned to look at the girl and waited for her to catch up before they started walking away.
"What are you doing today?" Beverly curiously asked and Aubrey shrugged her shoulders.
"I don't know, I might walk around and explore the town."Aubrey answered as she pushed open the school doors and walked over to her bike where her sister was waiting for her, her bike beside her.
"Maybe we can hangout. What's your number?" Beverly asked as they walked up to Cara. Beverly handed the blonde a pen and she wrote down her number on her hand.
"Thanks. I'll see you later Bre." Beverly said before sending a wink to the girl and walking away. Aubrey's face flushed and Cara snickered from behind her.
"Oh shut up." Aubrey grumbled before unchaining her bike and going home with her sister riding beside her.
✦︎✧︎✦︎✧︎
"Hey Cara! I'm going for a walk. You wanna come with!?" Aubrey yelled as she slipped on her shoes.
"No thanks!" Cara called back.
"Okay! I'll be back in a few! Don't break anything while I'm gone!"
"No promises!" Cara yelled and Aubrey rolled her eyes and smirked. She walked down the steps and was about to leave when the house phone rang. She groaned in annoyance before walking over to it and picking it up.
"Hello?" Aubrey answered.
"Aubrey?" Came the girls voice.
"Hey, Beverly! What's up?" Aubrey asked with a small smile.
"Oh nothing really. I was just wondering if you wanted to hang out." Beverly confidently spoke. A wide smile speed on Aubrey's face as she heard the news.
"Yeah, of course. I was just about to go on a walk. Wanna come?" Aubrey asked with a hopeful voice.
"Yeah sure. Do you want to meet up or?"
"Why don't you just come to my house since I don't exactly know where everything is." Aubrey suggested.
"Yeah, okay! What's your address?" Aubrey gave Beverly her address and they said goodbye before hanging up.
"Awe look at you all happy and such." Cara spoke from the top of the steps and Aubrey playfully rolled her eyes.
"Oh hush."

Beverly had appeared at her house within twenty minutes and the two were walking around the small town. Beverly pointed out all the main places, like the drug store, grocery store, ice cream shop, etc. She also pointed out some hangout spots and Aubrey did her best to memorize every road and all the directions.
They had been walking for an hour before they checked the time.
"Oh shit. My dad's gonna kill me. I'll see you at school tomorrow. Bye Aubrey!" Beverly called and frown formed on her features before it was quickly replaced by a smile.
"Bye, Bev!" Aubrey watched the redhead runoff before letting a sigh escape her lips. She stuffed her hands in her pockets and continued to walk. She didn't even realize where she was until she looked up and was standing in front of a bridge.
She cocked her head to the side as she saw her sister standing on the railing of the bridge.
"Cara?" Aubrey questioned. Her sister looked at her before falling off the bridge.
"CARA!" Aubrey screamed before running to the edge of the bridge to see nothing but grass and fallen leaves there.
"What the...?" Aubrey looked around her before looking back down and let out a scream of fear. A clown stood there looking up at Aubrey with the most evil grin that sent a shiver down her spine. There were red lines drawn vertically from his eyes and his lips were blood red.
The clown waved at her and she went wide eyed before walking backwards from the bridge and turning around, running all the way home. She busted through her door, locking the door behind her and running up the steps into her sisters room.
When she saw Cara laying there asleep she let out a breath of relief. She closed her sisters door before going to the bathroom, washing her face and brushing her teeth. She went into her room, closing the door behind her and quickly kicking off her shoes and going to sleep, images of the clown continuously popping into her head.
What the hell did I just witnessed? Where the hell did that clown come from? Am I going crazy? Were her last thoughts as sleep finally took over her body.
