The day after Will's incident on the field Hazel had woken up later than usual and had to rush off to school. So now, with a bagel in her mouth she pedaled as fast as possible to school. She had missed the bus which she took on random occasions, so once she finally had gotten to school kids were arriving in their parents cars, on their bikes, or on the bus.
As she pulled up to the bike rack she saw Dustin looking around for something, or someone, she wasn't sure. So as she hopped off her bike and began too actually eat her bagel, she approached Dustin, and tapped his shoulder, making him jump, and turn his gaze to her.
"Oh, Hazel, hey. Do you know where the guys are?" He asked her as she took another bite from her bagel.
"No, I thought you did," she said after swallowing.
"Oh, alright." Dustin then turned when they both heard the recognizable voice of Mike Wheeler coming from the dumpsters.
The two jogged over to where they heard their friend, and sure enough, there was Mike and Max, talking to someone. That someone being Lucas, who was in the dumpster. What the hell was, Lucas in the dumpster for? He was gonna totally smell like dog shot once he came out.
"What are you guys doing?" Hazel questioned as she waved at Max.
"What do you think? We're looking for Dart," Mike replied, just as Lucas chucked out two trash bags, before jumping out of the dumpster himself.
"Jesus!" Hazel exclaimed as she dodged one if the trash bags.
"Well, well, well. Look who decided to show up. After I picked the short straw, real convenient." Lucas complained.
"God Lucas, you stink!" Max said, as she walked over to Hazel and stood in the middle of her and Dustin, disgusted by the dumpster stench that was all over Lucas.
Dustin looked over at Max and smiled. "Hi Max,"
"Hi...?" Max said in a questionable tone.
Hazel looked between the two and it hit her. Dustin totally liked Max. Well, good for him. He never had much luck with girls but maybe thus was his chance. Yet, for some reason, there was a pang in Hazel's heart. Dustin liked Max, and....Hazel did too.
