In case you don't live forever

Chapter 2: Resist these pearls

Peter's Pov:

"Still no sign?" Dustin asked Lucas as Lucas looked through the binoculars outside the arcade. We, I mean they were looking for Max to prove that she was actually Mad Max. I was just tagging along because I had nothing better to do. "Jack shit" Lucas told him. "Oh damn it. My mom is going to murder me" Dustin said, looking at his watch. "So, go home. We'll radio if she comes" Lucas explained. "Oh, yeah, nice try. You two just want me out of here so you can make your moves" Dustin told us. "Oh cause you're such a threat" Lucas spoke. "That's right. She will not be able to resist these pearls" Dustin said then making a purring noise. I shook my head a little. "And I don't even like girls, dingus" I exclaimed and went back to looking at the arcade. I looked over at Dustin again to see him wide eyed and I suddenly realized what I had said. "You're gay?" He asked me and I nodded a little. "Okay" Dustin gave me a small smile soon ending when he looked over and saw a car quickly pulling up to the arcade. "Ten o'clock. Ten o'clock" Dustin told Lucas. "What?" Lucas asked him looking in the direction he was. Max got out of the car and the person inside of it yelled at her. "They're arguing. They're arguing" Lucas told us. "Oh my god. I see that. I don't even know why you need those. God, you're so stupid" Dustin yelled at Lucas and went right back to looking at Max. Max slammed the car door closed as the person drove away and flipped them off before going inside the arcade.

The three of us ran closer to arcade once Max was inside. We looked in the window to see her playing Dig Dug. Not surprised. I didn't even know why I was still here. I mean I didn't have anything better to do but I didn't care about this girl and didn't understand this obsession with her. I guess that's what straight guys do... I think. "She's incredible" Lucas muttered kind of looking like he had just seen an angel. The same way I look every time I look at Will. "She's.. Mad Max" The two of them said in sync, sitting on the floor leaving me standing in front of them.

The three of us had left the arcade and were riding our bikes home. "Mike" Dustin spoke into his supercom on the front of his bike. "Hello, is that you?" Mike replied on the other end sounding anxious or something. "Yeah, its me, Dustin. What're you doing on this channel again? I've been trying to reach you all day. We were right. Max is Mad Max" Dustin told Mike. "Yeah, I'm busy" Mike replied. "But-" Dustin tried to speak but Mike had already left. "What do we do now?" Lucas asked Dustin. "We stick to the plan" Dustin told him. "Mike's not gonna like it" I said. "Last time I checked our party is not a dictatorship. Its a democracy" Dustin explained. "What if Max says no?" Lucas asked Dustin. "How can Max say no to these" Dustin made that weird purring sound again. "I told you to stop that" Lucas shook his head a little. "I'll see you tomorrow" Dustin said as we arrived at his house. "Later" Lucas said. "Bye!" I spoke as Lucas and I rode away from Dustin's house towards our own.
