S1 P3: The Yeller

At the meeting spot I see Troy.

"Hey where's everybody? I thought we agreed on meeting here after everybody ate dinner?"

Troy is really tall for a middle schooler. That's why he gets picked on by the students that go to the highschool near us. He has dark brown skin and curly hair he keeps pretty short. Though all the girls at our school swoon over him because of his hazel eyes and muscular body.

"I don't know I just got her a few minutes ago too", he responds with.

Just as he says that Luke runs up out of breath. "Hey guys sorry I'm late. Am I?"

"Not really nobody is even here. At this rate it's going to get dark soon", I say.

A few minutes later Val and Eric walk up together.

 "Sorry. Something came up with our parents", says Val. You would never be able to tell Val and Eric were cousins besides the ginger hair and green eyes they both shared. Even I didn't figure it out till I went to Val's house to work on a project and saw Eric there.

"It's ok. Lets just hurry up and start walking before it gets too dark", I say.

Clear Fork Creek is not that far from us. It's about a 15 minute walk. All the kids from the neighboring schools go there after school. Well only before the Yeller wasn't there. Now it's empty and everybody hangs out at the rundown park next the elementary school Lily goes to.

While were just 5 minutes away from the Creek, Val and Luke start arguing about a TV show they both started watching. 

"No I think Adrien and Marinette are a better couple", Val says.

"Ew no. Luka is a much cooler guy. He even plays a guitar! What does Adrien do? Sword fighting doesn't seem like it'll help you in the real world", Luke argues back. 

"You better not just be saying that because Luka's name is similar to yours"

Were not that far from the Creek when Troy suddenly stops. "Did one of you guys say my name?", he asks.

"U-uh no. Why? Your scaring me Troy", Luke says scarily. 

Everybody goes silent. And we hear him. The Yeller. "TROY".

"Everybody hear that right? I'm not going insane right?", Troy asks everybody.

Nobody budges.

"TROY, TROY, TROY". The Yeller continues yelling.

We start walking cautiously towards the yelling and all of sudden it goes completely silent. Troy looks at me. "Well, what do we do now?"

"I think we should all just go back home", says Luke.

"Hey guys, I think Luke pissed his pants!", says Val as she starts doubling back in laughter.

After we looked around the area where the Yeller might've been and find nothing, we start heading back home. Suddenly Eric trips over something. "Ow!". We all rush over to his side.

"Are you ok? What happened?", says Val worriedly.

"I think I just twisted my ankle. Aw man my glasses broke. Mom is going to be so mad at me, those cost a lot", replies Eric.

"Thank God your ok. But what the heck did you trip on?", Val asks.

I go walk over to see what it what is was...
