OFFICIAL MEETING
NO PENNYWISE MEETING EXPLANATION
Lilly had came back from her stay at Juniper Hill after the death of her father. Her stay was terrible to say the least. The old windows crusted with the salt of too many seasons, screams and cries through the thin walls kept her up. Her nights relentless even as it was quiet, sleep came in fits. She awoke in cold sweat from the vivid imagery of her father. Her father’s face became the factory whistle, the sound a sick, mechanical scream. They told her he died fast, but what did they know?
But on the day that Ronnie joined the school, Lilly felt she finally had a true friend. They had befriended eachother after the break between Marge and Lilly when Ronnie saw her sitting alone. She took it upon herself to sit with her, because she didn't know anybody here. That's when they became inseparable.
Ronnie had let out a frustrated curse in lunch and a teacher heard, gaining her after school detention. That's where she met some new kid named Will. He was there for 'throwing a stink bomb', but he swore he didn't. Since Ronnie and Will became friends, Ronnie introduced him to Lilly. Will brought along Rich, a friend of his.
Through Matty, Lilly met Phil and Teddy. Matty said they were friends of some sort, but were they? Phil and Teddy seemed bored with Matty and often left him out and they spoke alone. She's overheard a few not so sweet comments. What friends are they, huh?
And finally, Marge finally gained courage to apologize to Lilly about everything and for being ignorant. Lilly accepted her apology. Marge left the Pattycakes after that. The Pattycakes back to three. Marge fit in better here. She didn't have to put on a mask to be liked.
In the end, the group of 8 became insanely close. Everybody got along great, despite the few quarrels and disagreements, they always solved it out and didn't let it drift them apart.
