CHAPTER THREE: holly, jolly
[══][══]乃尺ㄖҜ乇几[══][══]
PERSEUS WARDEN GROANED AS HE ROLLED ONTO HIS STOMACH. He sighed in annoyance as he realized that he had to soon call Dustin Henderson.
The Henderson boy was going to tutor him. Or at least, that's what was supposed to happen. He wasn't sure that would be happening anymore.
[══][══]乃尺ㄖҜ乇几[══][══]
Perseus has just about given up in finding the Henderson boy when he had spotted him outside with his two friends.
"Hey," he called out. "Dustin."
The curly haired boy quickly turned around, stumbling a second before straightening himself out. "Perseus."
"I was wondering when you were free." That seemed to get Dustin's attention even more. "I still need some help in class." Perseus was confused as to why Dustin's mood seemed to deflate. Perhaps he didn't want to be around Perseus. Even if it's just for an hour to study. "Uh...you know what? It's alright." He spoke after a second. "I'll just-"
"No," Lucas called out. "you know...it's just With Will missing..."
Perseus nodded his head, scratching the back of his neck. "Yeah, sorry, I hope he is okay."
"What happened there?" Mike asked, gesturing to his new split lip.
The boy accidentally buy it as a reflex, then licking the wound. "I fell off my bike. I went for a late night ride."
"What are you losers doing back here?"
Perseus rolled his eye at the voice, turning around to see Troy. Of course, Perseus answered. "Seeing the best place to dig a grave."
"Probably looking for their missing friend." Troy's goonie spoke. "Was that a threat?"
"I beat both your asses before." Perseus hissed, standing in front of Dustin and the other two. "And I'll do it again."
"That's not funny." Dustin said at the same time. "It's serious. He's in danger."
"I hate to break it to you, Toothless, but's he's not in danger. He's dead. That's what my dad says. He said he was probably killed by some other queer."
"Say that again," Perseus stepped closer, glaring as his hands turned into fist at his sides. "I dare you."
"Come on." Mike said. "Just ignore them." Then he walked away, bomb to be tripped by Troy. While Lucas and Dustin went to check in their friend.
"Watch where you're going, Frogfa-" Troy was interrupted as Perseus's fist collided into his cheek, hitting the other boy on the throat. Who both looked ready to hit the boy when they spotted the bruises on his face. They smiled then walked away.
Perseus turned to the three friends. "You good?" He asked Mike, who nodded.
"Hey, about this one?" Dustin asked, lifting up the rock that Mike had fallen on.
"Yeah." Mike laughed.
Perseus turned his head, glancing beyond him to see if Troy was gone. "Project?" He asked, gesturing to the rock.
The three nodded, and before either could explain Perseus lifted his head, smiling then delivering a friendly punch to Dustin's shoulder. "See you guys around."
[══][══]乃尺ㄖҜ乇几[══][══]
Here is something that Perseus would never admit. He was afraid of Jim Hopper. And not for the normal reasons. He was scared of what would happen when the man found out. If the man didn't already know.
