CHAPTER NINE - dumpsters, dead cats & demogorgons ( episode four & five ; will the wise & dig dug )
❀
⠀⠀ ALTHOUGH HE FELT GUILTY ABOUT IT, PARKER KNEW he wouldn't be much help at the Byers' home. In any case, Bob and Joyce had rather firmly insisted that both he and Peyton attend school as normal.
He'd hardly slept, visions of El being taken by that creature playing over and over in his mind as though the more he thought about it, the more chances there were of the memory disappearing altogether. But he knew that would never be the case.
Rather insistent on cycling to school (Peyton had, fortunately for her, been awarded her keys after the whole Will possession-or-something incident) Parker was rather glad to be clear of any supernatural, or non-supernatural, drama. As much as he appreciated being driven by his sister, he'd gladly admit he'd rather jump out of a moving train than watch Billy Hargrove's smug smirk eyeing his sister's rack one more time. No, he'd much rather turn up a few minutes late and miss whatever new, probably rule-breaking, activity his friends had decided to encourage one another to conduct.
To his surprise, Dustin was still locking up his bike by the time he rolled up to school. But at least that meant the task of looking for his friends needn't be conducted alone. In fact, finding them had been made rather easy by simply listening out to the sound of Mike Wheeler's taunting tones.
"Stop being a baby and do it already!"
Soon to be followed by Max's disgusted questioning
"This is so disgusting. Is this really necessary?"
Rounding a corner, Dustin and Parker soon found Mike and Max, garbage pokers in hand, with Lucas nowhere to be seen
"What the hell's going on?" Dustin questioned, soon to be met with an exasperated look from Mike
"What do you think? We're looking for Dart," Clearly, he was still upset about Dustin's insistence upon keeping his pet from the upside-down. And, in fact, looked less than convinced that D'art was lost at all.
Suddenly gripped by the collar, Dustin hauled the Newby kid backward just in time to save him from the bag of garbage flying his way, "Gees!"
"Jesus!"
"Oh!"
"Ugh!" all backing away from the bin, Parker watched in utter confusion as Lucas hauled himself over the edge of the dumpster
"Well, well, well," annoyed, Lucas brushed the dirt from his palms before firmly placing his hands on his hips, "Look who finally decided to show up. After I drew the short straw. Real convenient,"
