Season Two (Stranger Things fanfic) (Season One Sequel)

Chapter Three: The Pollywog

You met up with Lucas outside your house on the street and you both rode to school together. When you got there, you met with Max and you both began to tell her "what happened" to Will. You didn't want to lie to her but you had to.

"I still don't get why they call him zombie boy" she asked after you both explained the fake story. "I mean, I get it. He got lost in the woods for a week or something, but why is he a zombie? Because everyone thought he was dead?"

"I mean yeah, we had a funeral for him and everything" Lucas told her.

"After a week?"

"Well, see, some other kid drowned at the quarry, we thought it was Will because his body was super decomposed" Lucas explained.

"Okay, that's not funny" Max said.

"It's not supposed to be funny, all right? You can ask anybody, except Will, because he is
really sensitive about it" you told her.

She looked at you with both eyebrows raised but agreed, "Okay"

You both went to Mr. Clarks science class and sat down. You sat up front with the boys and Max sat at the back. Weirdly though, Dustin wasn't there when the class started. But after a few minutes, he rushed in panting.

"I am so sorry, Mr. Clarke. Really, I'm so sorry. Please continue with the class, don't mind me" he said as he quickly sat on the desk beside Lucas.

"We have to meet, all of us, at lunch, AV Club" he whispered to you guys as Mr. Clark continued to teach the lesson.

"Why?" Will asked.

"I have something that you won't believe" he said.

He then turned and told Max to meet your guys at the AV club at lunch, but Mr. Clark caught him.

"Dustin!"

"Yes, my lord?" he asked as he turned back around.

"Would you care to join the class now?" he asked.

"Please, yes"

You sighed as Mr. Clark continued with the lesson. You looked over at Mike who sat beside you but he didn't look back. He was still pretty mad about last night which was annoying. And what was Dustin so desperate about showing you guys?

"His name is D'Artagnan" Dustin said.

It was later at lunch time and you were all in the AV Club room. You were standing around the table as Dustin showed off his creature. This thing was fat and small with a tail and small arms. It looked slimy but it didn't have a face, only a small mouth.

"Cute, right?" Dustin asked smiling.

You shrugged "He's pretty cool, why D'Artagnan?"

"Dart for short, from Three Musketeers" he explained. You nodded in interest.

"And he was in your trash?" Lucas asked him.

"Foraging for food" Dustin said "You wanna hold him?"

"No, no" Lucas backed away.

"I do!" you said excitedly.

Dustin passed the creature to your open hands. This thing was slimy but you had to admit, he was cute. You brought the thing closer to your eyes as you looked at it, it gave you a small harmful screech as you did.

"What is he?" you asked as you passed the creature to Mike.

"My question exactly, at first I thought it was some type of pollywog" he said.
