~the missing pollywog ~

"blake come in, this a code red, i repeat a code red, over," dustin's voice came through the little walkie-talkie he gave me. "where are you? over," i said. "school, hurry we lost dart, over," he said and i put it in my bag and rode my skateboard there. i ran inside and dustin ran up to me and grabbed me. "we all have a hall, go check the east wing," he said. "okay," i sighed and did as he said.

"all clear," i heard mikes voice. "all clear," lucas. "all clear," i said after checking my hall. "i found him," will said. "where?" dustin asked. "the bathroom," he said. i started heading towards the bathroom in the hall he was in. when i got there he was gone, along with will. "where's will?" mike asked. "everybody spread out," i said. "go find him," lucas said.

i walked out the side door of the school and turned the corner running right into someone. "sorry i didn't see you," i said and looked up to see steve. "oh, hey what're you doing at the middle school?" i asked. "i actually saw you and was coming to see what you were doing here," he said. "dustin needed my help," i said. "is everything okay?" he asked. "uh yeah he just lost something," i said and looked around us.

"blake, come in, we found him in the field, get here stat, over and out," dustin said. "i gotta go sorry, i'll call you later though," i said. "blake," he said and grabbed my wrist as i went to walk away. i jumped slightly and he let go. "sorry i just uh, you know what never mind, i'll see you around," he said. "you sure?" i asked. "yeah, go dustin needs you," he said. "okay see you later," i said and ran to the field.

joyce was there along with everybody else. will was snapped out of it by the time i got there. "max you need to get home billy is gonna kill you," i said. "someone needs to explain what the hell is going on first," she said. "we can't! you aren't in our party just go home!" mike said. mike went to walk away and i grabbed his arm. "another rule of your party should be no being a dick to someone who wants to help, just think about that wheeler," i said and he shook me off and walked away.

"blake doesn't know what's going on either, we'll explain it when it's time," lucas said to max. dustin looked at me and back at lucas. "you told her?" lucas asked. "she's my sister!" dustin said. "look dipshits, it doesn't matter, tell max don't tell max that's up to you but if you want billy to kill her keep talking," i said. "you're right i should go, blake please save me soon, he's even more insane now that you're gone," max said and ran for her skateboard.

"dustin let's go," i said. he sighed and followed me to the front. i grabbed my skateboard and dustin got on his bike but i looked over as someone honked at us. "why is he still here?" i whispered. "get in i'll give you guys a ride," steve said. "thanks," i said and dustin and i got in, after dustin tied his bike up. "so whyd you wait up?" i asked. "just felt like it," he shrugged. "you know if billy sees you with me he's gonna make it his mission to make your life a living hell," i said.

"i'm not scared of him," he said. "you're the first," i laughed. "i'm sorry about earlier i uh, didn't mean to hurt you or anything," he said. "what? oh no you didn't it's okay, i just get easily triggered that wasn't your fault," i said. "well how have you been since you and nance?" i asked. "i've been alright, apparently she left down with jonathon i don't know, but it's whatever you know, she doesn't love me anyway," he said. "hey, her loss," i said putting my hand on his. he looked at me and smiled before dustin cleared his throat.

i moved my hand away and looked back at him. "what the hell is moving in your hat?" i asked him. "nothing!" he said and i just stared at him. 'later' he mouthed. when we pulled up to our house i looked at dustin and he got out of the car. "thank you for the ride," i said. "yeah sure," he said. "i'll talk to you later," i said. "thanks again,"

i got out of the car and skated up the drive way then set the board up against the wall and walked inside. "dust, you found dart right?" i asked as i walked in. "yeah," he said. i walked into his room and dart was bigger. "do you know what you're doing?" i asked. "i think so," he said. "just be safe okay?" i said and he nodded. i walked over and hugged him. "and be nice to max, shes had a hard life," i said. "i know, it's mike not me i swear," he said. "i believe you, don't worry, i just don't want anyone getting hurt," i said.

"i know, thanks blake," he said. i walked towards the door and he laughed. "what was that with steve in the car?" he asked. "what do you mean?" i asked. "nevermind," he said and smiled. "shut up," i laughed. i walked into my room and laid on my bed, staring at the ceiling. my eyes were heavy and slowly closed.

"blake get up," i covered my head with my pillow. "blake wake the hell up i'm losing my patience," "get the fuck up!" billy yelled and i looked at him. "get up or i swear to god blake, you're so fucking annoying," he said. i got out of bed and almost tripped. he grabbed both of my arms and got centimeters from my face. "get dressed, we're leaving," he said. i did as he said and got ready as fast as i could. "get in the car," he said. "what about max?" i asked. i saw him raise his hand and it got closer and closer to my face.

"blake!" dustin said and i woke up, heavily breathing. "what?" i asked and put my hair behind my ear. "the phone, it's for you," he said. "oh, okay, what time is it?" i said. "it's 9," he said. "pm?" i asked. "am, you slept all night," he said. i just widened my eyes and walked over to the phone. "hello?" i said. "are you free?"
