"Mr. Henderson! Ms. Wheeler!" she shouted

"We need our paddles!" Dustin yelled rushing out the door as quick as possible

____

"So..You kicked Yurtle out for this...thing?"

"His name is D'artagnan. Dart for short. And Yurtle can free roam for a little while." Dustin walked over to the tank I was looking into "And he likes nougat"

"He's kinda cute" I smiled

"I know! But we need to get to school, that took longer than expected" He put his books in his backpack and picked me up

"Dust you don't have to carry me. We can walk together" I sighed

"This is quicker. I'm down for a little walk anyway"

___

Dustin burst through the classroom door "I am so sorry Mr. Clarke, we went to the library, and then I had to carry Y/N because she has a sprained ankle" He spoke out of breath

Dustin put me down next to my desk so I could sit down then he sat down. As Dustin was telling Max to meet us in the AV room at lunch Mr. Clarke called his name

"Would you care to join the class now?"

"Please, yes" He said pulling out his book

___
We stand in circle around the table in the AV club room, Dustin, Me, Lucas, Max, Will, Mike, that order.

"His name is d'artagnan." Dustin picked up dart and looked around at everyone "Cute right?"

"D'artagnan?" Mike looked at the creature in Dustin's hands

"Dart for short." I added

"So you snuck out this morning to go look at this thing with Dustin?" Mike asked

"That's not important right now Mike."

"He was in your trash?" Max asked

"Foraging for food" Dustin looked at her "Wanna hold him?"

"No, no."

"he doesn't bite" He handed Dart to Max

"Oh god he's slimy!" Max shouted handing him to Lucas

"Ughh, he's like a living booger." Lucas said passing him to Will

"ugh, oh, god!" Will said passing him to Mike

"ew! What the hell!" Mike said passing him to me

"Aww, he's cute" I said holding him up some and looking at his- uhm not face?

"What is he?" Mike asked Dustin

"Our question exactly" Dustin said putting books down on the table. I sat Dart on the table and stood next to Dustin

"At first we thought he was some type of pollywog" Dustin said

"Pollywog?" Max asked

"Its another word for tadpole." I said flipping pages in one of the books

"Tadpole is the larval stage of a toad." Dustin added

"I know what a tadpole is." Max said

"Then you know that most tadpoles are aquatic, right?" I said finding the page I need and looking up

"Well, Dart, he isn't. He doesn't need water" Dustin looked at Dart on the table

"Yeah, but aren't there nonaquatic pollywogs?" Lucas asked
