This whole thing is bullshit. Because of whatever weird thing goes on between Derry and Darrow, Eddie and Bev are both a whole year older than Richie. Which means he doesn't know anyone in his classes and he's just the weird kid who started the year late. The two people he actually knows in the city don't even go to his school. There's never been a time he wasn't able to pal around with Eddie or Bill or Stan during the school day, and it sucked.
Which was why he's started jumping the fence and heading over to Darrow High School for lunch, to spend that time with his friends. Even if he's already been kicked out and reported to the principal at Darrow Middle a few times already.
Today, though, he doesn't really care less, because there's pizza in the high school cafeteria, and back at his school, there are only tater tots. There's just the matter of figuring out how to persuade the lunch lady to take pity on him, when he didn't actually have any money of his own.
This seemed like a job for Toodles.
"My dear, might you take a bit of pity on a man down on his luck?" Richie asks, putting on the Voice of Toodles, the English Butler once it's his turn in line. Maybe the lunch lady will take pity on him.
