Chapter 13

This chapter is about when the losers club met Mike. Mike was being chased by Henry Bowers and a bunch of his friends, just because he was black. The losers club was playing in the Barrens when the chase started outside of Henry's farm. Mike paced himself all of the way into town before running to the train yard by way of the road where Bill and Richie had seen the werewolf. Mike ran pass the train yard and into the coal pit beyond the tracks. The losers club decided to blow up some fire crackers in the gravel pit next to the Barrens. It just so happened that Henry had some firecrackers in his pocket and he was going to shoot them off in the pit also. Until he found Mike that is. Mike gathered up some coal and started throwing them at Henry. His first throw was a direct hit to Henry's forehead but the second and the third missed. That gave Henry enough time to light a cherry bomb and chuck it at Mike. It exploded right next to Mike's face but he didn't flinch. His next throw hit Henry right in the throat. Mike scurried over the fence and ran to the gravel pit where the losers club was playing. He ran up to the group who had gathered a bunch of rocks on instinct. Mike ran up to Bill and asked him for help. Mike was about to ask for what but then Henry and his goons climbed over the hill. There was a brief rock fight in which everyone got injured at least once, but the losers club drove back Bowers and his gang. After they left the group accepted Mike with no questions. The club was complete!

I think it's really neat that the kids act the way they do its as if they are the opposite of what they really are, when they are kids they act like grown-ups and when they are grown up they need to act as kids to find out what happened to them
