008 - Dart

Dustin acted really weirdly with me on the phone last night and something tells me he has a good reason for it. Dustin may be underrated and goofy but if I know anything about his group, he sure can have his sparks of smart & skill.

I decided to get up as soon as possible. Get a cover of warm clothes and a backpack full of can food and drinks, medkit, and survival items before rushing out to the school.

I keep my eyes out for anything suspicious, when notice a black car. I quickly hide behind the wall. It's around six-thirty in the morning. Usually, I like to sleep in, in my nice cozy warm bed since sleeping is my strongest skill.

I feel a tap on my shoulder and I turn on my heels, clenching my fist.

"Ah-!"

"Shh!" Dustin whispers. He puts a finger to his lips. I can tell he's freezing a bit, not used to it being so cold in the morning. He ushers me away from the school and we tiptoe out of the block before making a sprint over to the nearest store.

I pant, putting my hands on my knees and lowering my head. "Why did you have to be weird?"

"The Laboratory and anybody else can listen to other people's phone calls." Dustin pants out. "I'm aware of this because Nancy tried to talk to Mrs. Holland. And that failed. Why I didn't give you a time and ushered you out of my school as soon as possible is so they don't find us and track us."

"What if they already have?" I snap.

"Do you see any people or cars following us?" Dustin asks. I look around, zipping my eyes around the area just to find that we're alone.

"Good. Now let me tell you everything."

"What the hell is going on, Dustin?" I huff, putting my hands on my hips.

"Let's just say I had a lizard, from the Upside Down. And he's turning into a Demogorgon."

"W...What?"

"Start walking, I'll explain everything."

"Jeez, you're being bossy."

"START WALKING!!"

"OKAY!!!"

We walk up to my house where I get Dustin something to eat. I crack open one of the cans of food and the soda can makes a tss noise as Dustin opens it.

"And so what, the plan is to kill him?"

"NO! I don't know! But Dart is definitely from the Upside Down!" He whispers.

"So why do you need Steve's help?" I ask confused.

"Because he has the bat with nails, and we're gonna need that. Because I plan to bring Dart to the junkyard."

There's a slight murmuring in the distance, and both of our heads turn to look over at Steve. He holds a bouquet of roses and as soon as he notices me, he blushes.

"Steve!" I gasp. "What...the flowers they-"

"Are those for Y/n?" Dustin asks.
