‼️

I walk out of the book store, and begin to pedal back home to get ready for school. It was still early, so I had a lot of time to get ready. I made it back home, and saw dad on the couch sleeping. Beer bottle's, everywhere!

I sigh, throwing away each bottle. Heading to my room. I grab an outfit, and changed.

I finished changing, and went to the kitchen to make breakfast for the other's. I finished, and got the table ready. I see Finn and Gwen walking in with their pajamas, sitting down.

"Thank you,"

"Thankss, Y/N! Did you get your first kiss, yesterday~?" I looked at her with a glare,

"Noo! No, I didn't. Stop." I said, eating my food.

"Don't gotta be upset that it didn't happen. You'll get your kiss, soon." Gwen laugh's, taking a bite of her food. I roll my eyes,

"Ignore her, Y/N. She's just joking around." Finn say's. I smile, and nod. I then hear the doorbell ring, and grab my stuff. And the bag of books.

"Hey! What's that bag for?" Finn ask's.

"For my friend." I reply, walking out of the house.

"BE SAFE, Y/N!" I hear Finney yell. I laugh, and see Robin.

"Hey! Ready to go?"

"Ya! But first, we gotta go give these books to my friend." I say, walking. Robin made a confused look, but followed me.

"Whose this friend??" He ask's.

"Griffin. He's my friend." I say, seeing his house from afar. I smile, and run towards the house.

"HOW COME I DONT KNOW THIS GRIFFIN KID?? HE BETTER NOT BE YOUR BEST FRIEND!!! BECAUSE THAT SPOT IS TAKEN!" Robin yell's.

"He's not!!! Chill. We met not so long ago. And he's just a little kid! No need to be jealous," i say,

"I'm not jealous."

"Mhm. Suree! Now, Wait here. It won't take long." I say, walking to the front door. I knock, and hear yelling. I then see the door open, only to reveal Griffin. Holding an ice pack on his eye.

"You actually came?"

"Ya! And you listened to what I told you!"

"Ya." He replies, shrugging.

"Anyways, I gotchu the book's! Here." I say, handing the bag to him. He looked inside, and looked up at me shocked.

"You actually got them??" He say's.

"Of course! All yours." I say. He hug's the bag, and look's down smiling.

"Thank you!!" He say's, giving me a short hug.

"Didn't have to, tho-"

"Yes. I did have to. Enjoy them." He nods.

"Thanks...."

"No problem. Well, bye! I gotta go."

"Okay. Bye!" He waves. I nod, and walk back to Robin.

"Alright.....RACE YOU TO SCHOOL!" I yell.

"I KNEW IT!!"

While running, I accidentally trip. Falling to the ground.

"BAHAH! thank you for letting me have a head-start!"

"FUCK Y-"

We all walk outside of the school building, Robin running towards me.

"Hey, Y/N! Just came to ask if one day you can come over, to help with math? We're learning something new, today. And I DONT understand a single thing." Robin says, shaking his head.

"Ya, sure." I reply. He smile's, and nods.

"Alright. Give me a call to let me know when you can come over." Robin say's.

"Gotchu."

"Nice. Maybe after that, we can go to the drive-in together. Watch 'Texas Chainsaw Massacre'! Like old time's."

"That'll be fun! Ya, sure."

"Okay! Well, bye!"

"Bye!" I say, walking to the other's. Seeing Donna, with Finn. What's going on?

"Hey, guy's! And, hey Donna. Whatcha doing with Finney?" I ask,

"Oh! She's coming over so we can both work on our projects, together." I nod, and look at Gwen. Seeing her making kissy faces behind Finn. Making me laugh.

"Alright. Well, let's go." I say,

I get on my bike, and start pedaling around the neighborhood. I finished doing some homework. So, might as well. I pedal, seeing a black van driving passed. I turn around, and see the van go out of sight.

Hm. Never seen that van before. Strange....

I shrug, and continue pedaling. Suddenly feeling an anxious, nervous feeling. Like something isn't right. I turn back again, and see nothing.

I look forward, and see Bruce pedaling his bike, too! I shook my head, and waved. He noticed me, and waves back, smiling.

"Hey, Bruce! Riding your bike, too?"

"Ya!"

"Nice. Well, see ya later!"

"Alright. See ya!"

I finished pedaling around for a while, and go back home. Before I put my bike down, I see a bunch of cop car's driving by.

"The hell....?" I whisper. My curious self began to pedal to where the cops were. And saw the cops parking in front of Griffin's house? What happened? I get off, and walk closer. Seeing the cops talking to the lady I saw sleeping on the couch. To who I think is Griffins mom. She was crying, and yelling.

"He was here!! I saw him outside reading his books, and riding his bike. Next thing you know when I woke up from my nap, he's gone!! And his bike was on the ground!" The lady explained.

"My boy is missing! He's gone!" She cried. Griffin? Griffin is

I start to breath heavily, trying to calm myself down. I put my hand on my chest, in disbelief. I look at the front yard, and see the book's I got for him.

I look to the side, and see something on the sidewalk. I walk towards it, and kneel down. Picking the thing up.

It's Griffin's bandanna....

I get up, and see a cop walking passed me. Holding a piece of paper. I see him hang up the paper on the fence, walking away. I walk towards the paper, and gasp.

Griffin Stagg.
