everyone in rink-o-mania had surrounded angela who was crying while a paramedic asked her questions. "i know this may be, like, upsetting and shit, but that future prom queen is gonna be fine. it's just, like, rubber wheels." argyle reassured, looking back at eleven who stared out the window.

"plastic." jonathan corrected.

"oh." said argyle dragging out the word.

"not like hard plastic. just... just the soft kind."

"totally." argyle agreed. "don't you ever wonder why the wheels aren't wood, man? or metal? so people don't get hurt when they get shmacked."

"oh."

"yeah. because it happens more than you think, man. roller-skate attacks." el finally looked up at argyle.

"man. hey, at least it wasn't an ice skate." he had a point.

"that nose would've been sliced clean off, man." argyle exclaimed as jonathan let out some sort of yell. maddy threw her head back. "it could've been so much worse."

"so much worse." jonathan looked back at her, "in the grand scheme of things, it's just a little blip."

"that's a funny word, man." then the two high teenagers began repeating the word blip over, and over, getting louder, and louder each time they said it. maddy let el lean onto her shoulder the rest of the car ride back to the byers.

they finally arrived and entered the house. they made their way to the kitchen where murray bauman stood, cooking food. "well, well! aren't you lot a sight for sore eyes, huh?"

"hi, murray." jonathan grinned.

"you kids like risotto?" murray questioned, holding up a spoon.

"yeah."
