  Summary

  It took a moment. But Richie eventually responded.

  “...I’m not gonna be here this summer”

  “Huh? Why the hell not?”

  “...I have to go to Indiana” Richie followed up after a moment of staring back at all those eyes. Now again, Richie doesn’t think he’s ever mentioned anything about having family in Indiana. So of course it was abrupt, and of course everyone was confused.

   

  Or: When Richie Tozier has to leave Derry to spend the summer in none other than Hawkins Indiana with his cousin Mike Wheeler. And has a summer romance with said cousin's best friend.
