✨🎵🎈 extended summary for " dealing
with being a loser !! "

— The girl was raised to have a good childhood where she would be kind to people, no matter what people thought of her. Her mother had been a completely different person before giving birth to her so she wanted her little girl to be the best person she could ever be, unlike how she used to be. Even if that meant giving up her life for her own daughter, she wouldn't hesitate to do that and would do it in a heartbeat.

— Although Stephanie Palmer always told people that she had a good life, she knew deep down that it wasn't perfect to begin with. To start off, her mother was a grieving widow after her husband had been killed a month before the girl was born and, even though she didn't hold that against her daughter, she still felt sorrow to this very day and wished that it had been herself that had died instead of Steph's father. But she still tried her very best to be there for her baby and to take care of her as best as she could . . . that was, until she got diabetes.

— As the woman's health very slowly deteriorated, Steph thought that the only thing she could do was to be with her mother as much as she could and to not let anyone befriend her, since she didn't want to hurt them by not hanging out with them. She didn't really know why she ever did this in the first place, since it proved to be pointless in the long run after quite a few years. But she could care less . . . .

— Enter 1985: the year where her loneliness would truly end.

— Stephanie had become know as "The Pretty but Quiet Girl," since she never hung out with anybody in her grade or in her school whatsoever. If she had, she probably would have become a pretty popular student in Derry Elementary School, but it was her choice that turned her into a loser, the opposite of what she wanted to be. Sure, she had Beverly Marsh to hang out with, but it wasn't quite enough. But she was rarely picked on except if you count the Bowers Gang in this scenario, who constantly tortured her for their own fun, but she couldn't bear to tell anybody about that.

— Well, that was until four boys came to her rescue one day . . . .

— Once the very limited Losers Club met her after defending her from Henry Bowers and his goons, she grew an instant bond with them that she could describe. She suddenly felt as if they had always been her friends, and she got close to them, much to her own mother's relief. The woman wanted her to hang out with more people but she had refused to make her do that because she cared too much, but she was so happy for her little girl.

— Fast forward three years and Bill Denbrough's younger brother, Georgie, was swept away into the atmosphere of Derry, Maine that fateful October day.

— The entire group was shattered at the news, especially Stephanie, and they did everything they could to find the small boy over that winter and progressed into the following spring of 1989. But as they near the summer, they all begging to lose hope.

— Stephanie, however, is still determined to help Bill look for his little brother, even though she herself has also lost hope. She then begins seeing strange things over the course of several days that lead into a few months, and she is very hesitant to tell the others, especially after three more people join the infamous Losers Club. And her fear is the worst out of the ones all of them have: losing those that she loves dearly.

— What will happen when she has to finally face that fear? Will she be able to live through that horrific summer? Can she muster up the courage to admit her newly blossoming feelings for a certain boy who stutters?

— And, most importantly, how will she able to deal with being a Loser . . . ?
