Stranger Things (Season 2)

Chapter 3: The Pollywog (Part 2)

At the High School

In PE the school's basketball team was practicing a pick up game before they play against their next opponent.

Billy was dribbling down the court to where the other players were. He had it in the bag. That is if Ashton hadn't been there. Billy tried going for the basket, but was guarded by Ashton.

"Billy, right? I heard you run this school. Not anymore, buddy" Ashton laughed a little as he guarded Billy. "We'll see about that" Billy teased, about to go past him and drive to the basket. Immediately after saying that, he was knocked to the floor by Ashton stealing the ball. He had the ball going down the other side where Billy was and took two steps towards the goal, put it between his legs into the air, and the ball fell through the hoop.

Everyone cheered him on as Billy was hunched over while standing, glaring at Ashton. Steve laughed and celebrated with Ashton, as the two had started becoming friends fast. "Steve" Nancy called out to him from the entrance. Steve looked over at her, wondering what she wanted. After what she did to him at the party last night.

"What are you doing here?" Steve asked her as they were now in the alley next to the gym. "Where were you this morning, I missed first period?" Nancy said to him, questioning his wareabouts. Not remembering that they had a fight last night. "Figured Jonathan would take you" Steve replied, seeming to have an attitude. Nancy seemed shocked and confused by this. "What are you talking about?" Steve scoffed.

"Jeez, you really can't handle your alcohol. So you remember going to Tina's party last night, right?" Steve asked her. Nancy nodded. "Yeah." "Then what?" Steve asked. "I remember dancing, then spilling some punch, and you got mad that I was drunk, and then you took me home" Nancy said, trying to remember. Steve just scoffed at her. "Nah, see, that's where your mind gets all fuzzy. That was your other boyfriend, that was uh, Jonathan" Steve said, having an attitude still. "I don't understand, what are you saying?" Nancy was still confused. Steve just had enough of her 'bullshit.'

"Apparently, we killed Barb, and I don't care 'cause I'm bullshit, and our whole relationship is bullshit, and pretty much everything is just bullshit, bullshit, bullshit. Also, you don't love me anymore" Steve straight up told her. "I was drunk Steve, I don't remember any of that" Nancy replied, sounding a bit more fierce. "So what, that's suppose to make everything you said just bullshit too?" Steve argued. "If so then tell me." "Tell you what?" Nancy asked. "That you love me..." Steve replied. Nancy was still blown away that he thought what she said was true, because she still had feelings for him. Yet she was too blown away to even say anything back. Something in her wouldn't let her say it.

Steve looked at Nancy, waiting for her to say something. But she didn't. "I'm sick of your bullshit" Steve told her as he headed back inside to practice.

At the Middle School

The whole party plus Max were in the audio room. Luckily for them, no one was using it. Dustin pulled out his container and opened it, showing the D'Artagnan he found last night. Everyone stared at it in awe.

"His name is D'Artagnan. Dart for short" Dustin smiled as he took him out. "And you found him in your trash?" Max questioned. "Well yeah. He was foraging for food" Dustin replied. Dustin thought that they should hold him.

"Wanna hold him? He doesn't bite" Dustin said handing it over to Max, who was trying not to touch the thing. But it was now in her hands unfortunately. "Oh god, he's all slimey" Max looked disgusted, tossing it into Lucas's hands. "Ugggh, he's like a living booger" Lucas complained and handed him to Will. "Ugh, gross" He handed him to Mike. Mike wasn't complaining however, and observed the creature. "What is he?" Mike asked while staring at the creature. Dustin didn't know. "My question exactly."
