Who was Maxwell? I did not know. I just wanted to know why that kid took my notebook and what he was going to do with it. I ran back home, took a spare one from under my bed, and put it in my backpack so nobody would just steal it. I ran over to Chris's house with the backpack and when I knocked he let me in.
"How you doing, Peter?" he asked.
"I'm fine. You will not believe what I found at Staples," I replied.
I then told Chris the entire story of how I found the notebook, but also how lost the old one too.
"Isn't Maxwell in the same grade as us?" Chris asked.
"I think so, yeah," I said.
Then we discussed what classes we thought Maxwell was going to have this year so that way I can get it back from him.
"Wanna watch TV?" Chris asked me.
"Sure." I replied.
He then went to the kitchen to go make some popcorn while I turned on the TV. As soon as I turned it on, there were news about a dinosaur crushing a school in half as two more schools fell out of the sky.
"No way," I said out loud.
"What's going on?" Chris asked from the kitchen as the popcorn was finishing up.
He walked into the living room and looked at the TV.
"That's Maxwell," he gasped, pointing to a tiny red dot (the rooster hat) running from 2 meteors coming towards the schools.
"We gotta stop him," I said.
I had Chris make a portal with the notebook so I could go to my room and grab mine. Then we left Chris's house and we ran towards the forest; the direction Maxwell was running. When we got to the forest, I looked behind us and saw a huge crater. I used my notebook to create a fishing hook so I could get a hold of Maxwell's shirt to tug him back. Chris did the same. When we saw a shoe behind a tree, we both aimed our fishing rods at it and caught something. When we pulled it back, Maxwell was in front of us.
"What are you gonna do, turn me in?" he asked.
Then he noticed all three of us were carrying identical notebooks.
"May I have my notebook back please?" I asked Maxwell sarcastically.
I took the notebook from him and I asked him what he was going to do with it.
"Just have a little fun, ya know," he said with a shrug.
"And burning down a school with meteors?" I yelled.
He stifled a laugh but I kept a straight face.
"Be right back," Chris said, and he ran off towards the wreckage of the schools, already writing in his notebook.
I looked back at Maxwell, who had a sort of grin on his face, but also didn't look like he wanted to be standing here right now, talking to the kid he stole the notebook from.
"Truce?" I asked him, holding my hand for him to shake.
He looked reluctant, but then he shook my hand and said, "Truce."
I reached for the notebook I took from him, which was also the original, and I gave it back to him.
I saw Chris running back, panting a little. When I looked over his shoulder, I saw that the craters were gone and the school was back to normal.
"I almost, got caught, by the cops, but I gave them, 1,000 bucks, with the notebook," he said, panting more.
I saw Maxwell creating a portal to his house, and then he looked back at me saying, "Here's my school schedule, just in case you wanna talk."
He went into the notebook, wrote some stuff, and gave me a duplicate of his schedule. Then he walked towards the portal, disappearing before Chris's and my eyes.
"What now?" Chris asked me, confused.
