I don't own these characters. Sorry for the long wait and I apologize for some spelling errors in any of these. My mind sometimes moves faster than my hand plus dyslexia makes for fun times lol. I'm thinking of doing maybe two or three chapters more. Then I don't know what.

Peanut was desperately looking for Johnny. He had so much he needed to tell him, but didn't know how to do so without overwhelming the other boy. He just wanted to get through graduation and then he and Johnny could start their life together. If he could only just find Johnny than maybe he could talk things out with him. He doesn't want to end the school year on uncertain terms with Johnny. He had looked everywhere for
Johnny. After leaving the garages, Peanut had searched the school grounds and dorm room with no luck. He checked the pool hall and tenements, but still no Johnny. It was getting dark. the sun was going down, but there was only one other place Peanut could think to look for Johnny and that was at the bike shop that Johnny works. There was still time before it closed and Peanut knew he could get there in time. Johnny didn't
really have a set work schedule. He worked whenever he didn't have classes but there were days that Johnny would skip certain classes or a whole day just to work. He always said it helped him get his mind off things and to get himself back to normal when things were bothering him. Johnny wasn't one to talk about things like his thoughts and feelings. As Peanut made it to the bike shop in town, he saw Lola stroll down to the
beach to the preppies posh little beach house. ~Tramp~ Peanut opens the door to find the owner Tobias angerily muttering to himself while working on an Aquaberry Cruiser bike. "Hey Tobias. Have you seen Johnny anywhere?" Tobias stops and looks up, noticing who it is, he marchs towards Peanut and points the screwdriver in his hand at him. "I could ask you the same thing! Johnny was here working earlier, so I went and did
some errands. I come back and he's gone. He could have at least waited until I got back. I mean the shops all open and no one's here. Anyone could've stolen a bike or money." Peanut frowned. "That doesn't sound like Johnny. He loves this place. He wouldn't just take off like that." Tobias shrugs. " That's what I had thought too. But I know it's the end of school and you kids are moving on to the next chapter of your lives. Maybe there
was a party or something?" Shaking his head, Peanut moves to leave. "Nah. Johnny ain't like that. Thanks Tobias. I'll figure out what happened to Johnny and make sure he apologizes." "I just hope the kids alright. He seemed kinda down when he came in. Oh! And I saw the girl he broke up with walking away from here when I got back. Maybe she knows something." Leaving the bike shop, Peanut looks towards the beach house. "I bet she does know something." He whispers to himself.
Johnny woke up in darkness. In fact it was so dark, Johnny wasn't sure if he had even opened his eyes. He found he couldn't move his upper body much. His head hurt and he felt groggy. He was having trouble staying awake or trying to stand. The floor he was laying on was cold. His mouth felt like it was full of cotton balls. Wherever he was, it seemed both quiet yet loud. If he listened carefully, he could hear pipes rattling, old metal creaking, heavy breathing and moaning.
Peanut walked down to the beach and decided to wait for Lola. He stood under the pier staring at the preps beach house for any sign of movement. After about half a hour later, Lola sashayed out the door and along the beach. Peanut hid behind one of the pillars until Lola passed by. He grabbed her wrist and firmly pressed her against the pillar. "Where's Johnny? And don't give me any crap. I know you know sumtin'." Lola sneered
at the smaller boy. "Whatever do you mean? Johnny and I broke up. Why should I know anything that goes on with him? Isn't that be your area of expertise?" Peanut shoved her harder into the pillar. "I'm done with your shit Lola. I know you had something to do with Johnny's sudden disappearance. Tobias said that Johnny was at work and then he was gone and saw you walking away from the shop. I've looked everywhere else
for Johnny. So you're gonna tell me what you know about where Johnny is or I'm gonna start repaying you for every horrible thing you ever said and each time yous ever hit me." Lola laughed. "You wouldn't hit a girl. You don't got the balls" It was Peanut's turn to smile. "Well you see Lola. You're always going on about how much of a queer I am or what a girl I am, so I figure we're on equal ground. Not too mention I have more than
a few reasons to wanna settle the score." Lola pushed Peanut back with enough force that he stumbled back, breaking his hold on the former Greaser queen. "I ain't telling you nothing." Peanut rammed Lola into the pillar so hard her head hurt from the impact. "You know Pinky stills owes me a favor from before you even came to Bullworth. I can have her make your life a living hell. And best of all, she won't even get in trouble
because her father gives so much money to the school." "Bullshit! No preppies would be friendly with a Greaser." "Well you always seemed pretty friendly with a few of the preps." Lola drove Peanut back again. "I don't know where he is. Try talking to the townies. They never liked Johnny." "You 'friendly' with them too?" Lola spared the brown hair boy a glare before hightailing it back to the school.
Peanut jogged all the way back to the tenements. He ran up the stairs in the abandoned apartment building until he found Norton in his room on the top floor smoking a cigarette. "Norton!" Peanut shouted breathlessly. Peanut was bent over. One hand on his chest and the other holding himself up on the doorframe. Norton threw the cigarette butt out the window and made his way over to his friend. Norton put one arm
under Peanut's and helped him over to the lone chair in his room to sit. Then he left the room, only to come back a few seconds later with a soda. "Here have a drink, catch your breath, then tell me what's going on." Peanut reached for the soda and gulped down almost half of it before Norton stopped him. "I said to take a drink. Not to drown yourself. Shit Peanut." Peanut laughed. "Sorry mother." Norton chuckled. "Don't lay the
duty on me. I'd probably have grey hair or a heart attack if yous was my kid. Can only image the pain in the ass you musta been when you was a little one. 'Sides I'm to young and pretty to have grey hair or die." Peanut snorted. "Johnny and I are way prettier than you. But enough goofing off. Johnny's missing and I think the townies have something to do with it. We gotta help him but I didn't think it was a good idea to go alone...Not
since that fight I got into with them that one time." Norton growled. "I'm still pissed you did that. Anyways why do you think Johnny's missing and what do the townies have to do with it?" Peanut sighed. "Yeah you and Johnny both let me know how stupid I was. And I looked everywhere for him. The school, pool hall, bike park, here and nothing. So I went to his work where Tobias should he came in but just vanished. He said that
Lola was around. I 'talked' to her..the nicest way that her and I know how to..And she mentioned the townies." Norton turned away from Peanut, grabbing the back of his neck. "Ok, but we gotta come up with a plan first."
