I just had to write an All Grown Up! story. I thought I'd start at Junior year since I'm starting mine in August BUT new plan. Freshman year is different for everyone. And that way I can keep Susie and Angelica in the story. AND development for the kids (Since everyone changes in HS) so yeah. All Grown Up! 9th Grade.

ENJOY

Tommy stood in front of the bathroom mirror for just about twenty minutes now. How should he have worn his hair? His first day of high school, he wanted to look cool, but not douchey.

"Tommy, come on! Other people in this house need to pee!" Tommy heard his little brother, Dil, outside the door.

"Waaait juuust," Tommy kept combing his hair back and forward. He then parted it a bit. "Hmm," He thought. Then he combed back the slightly parted lock. "Voila." He smiled at his purple spikes and stepped out the bathroom.

"How do I look?" Tommy asked Dil.

"Without a full bladder!" Dil said bluntly and barged into the bathroom.

It was almost 7, so tommy had to finish getting ready. He ran to his and Dil's room. He looked in the mirror. A blue and grey Tee, blue jeans and grey Chuck Taylors. He smiled in the mirror, "Yeeeeah." He then head toward his blue backpack that had been sitting on the floor near his bed. He looked through it see his overabundance of school supplies then noticed something was missing.

"My Screwdriver." He said to himself then head over to his nightstand. He dug through each drawer desperately. He searched the whole room.

"Tommy. What are you doing?" Tommy and Dil's mother, Didi, stepped through the open door. "You're bus comes soon. You don't want to be late for your first day of high school now do you?"

"Mom, have you seen my screwdriver?" He asked frantically.

"Your what?" She said.

"The one I've had since I was a baby mom. I need it."

"Why would you need a screwdriver at school?"

"I-It's like a good luck charm." He said.

"Well I haven't seen it. Now come on. Your father's got to be to work soon and he can't drive you."

Tommy sighed. "All man." He said then stood up with his belongings. He kissed Didi's cheek. "Bye ma."

"Bye Tommy." She said.

Tommy made his way down the steps and in front of the house.

"BYE TOMMY!" Dil called from their upstairs window. Tommy waved and smiled and then head up the block to the bus stop. Angelica was standing there on her expensive pink covered phone.

"Hey Pickles." She said in a snarky manner.

"Hey Angelica." Tommy said. "Sooo, what happened to that car I thought you were taking to your first day as a junior?"

"Shut up. I told you I have to wait another month for my damn license." She snapped.

"Ooo. That sucks." Tommy laughs and Angelica pushed him back in a friendly way.

"So this is your first day of high school? Oh man, well I'll tell you now, it's nothing like on Degrassi."

"On what?" Tommy curved his brows.

"You've never watched Degrassi?" Angelica sighed. "Well high school's not fun. It sucks. But it all depends on who you hang out with." She said.

"Well I've got my group." Tommy said.

"Ha, that'll change soon. You mean you and the Rugrats are still tight?"

"Well yeah. Of course we are. Why wouldn't we be?" He said confidently.

"It's all gonna change Pickles." Angelica said then pulled out a carton of cigarettes. "Charlotte made me leave to damn early." She pulls out a purple lighter and lights the fag in her mouth. "This bus driver better hurry up."

Tommy stood there a bit worried. He then thought about his friends.

Lil was captain of the girls' soccer team in middle school and had become kind of strict. A 'take-no-shit kind of girl. She and Tommy weren't as close anymore since she started focusing on her studies and hanging with smarter kids.

Phil was nearly the opposite. He hated school and academics. He played a bit of basketball, but he just wanted to party. He started smoking cigarettes in 8th grade, and Tommy knew that high school was the gateway to other drugs.

Kimi was as artistic and bubbly as before. She and Tommy are still close. In fact, Tommy actually thought of taking their friendship to another level.

That brought Tommy's mind to his best friend in the world, Chuckie. Chuckie was the epitome of nerdiness in 7th grade, but in 8th grade, he started hanging out with all these girls. Not romantically either. Tommy didn't know what it meant, but he and Chuckie had sort of grown apart.

Then Tommy became paranoid.

"Let me get a hit." He said to his older cousin.

"Excuse me Pickles?" Angelica furrowed her brows.

"The cigarette."

"Um, no. I'm not gonna have my baby cousin get addicted to nicotine. You're smart Tommy. Don't fuck up yet." Angelica says somberly.

Tommy looks down, not knowing what to do with his anxiety.

In the Finster household, Chuckie sat on his bed cross legged texting some of his 'girlfriends'. He still had his messy orange hair, big glasses and braces but he also donned a gold stud earring in each ear now. Something his newer friends talked him into.

"Chuckie, you ready?" Kimi walked into his room while adjusting her dangly purple earrings. Her black hair was streaked with indigo and was tied in a ponytail on the side of her head with the rest of her shoulder length hair dangling to her upper back.

"Yeah yeah." Chuckie grabbed his messenger bag from his closet door and stood. His fire red hair was slicked back and not as messy but still shot out from behind his ears.

"Look at you." Kimi said to her brother.

"What?" Chuckie said surprised.

"You look good; all handsome and grown up." She smiled. She abruptly hugged her brother and he blushed. "I love you Chuckie. I always will."

"Umm, thanks Kimi." He said shyly. "Love you too."

She smiled and grabbed Kira's car keys. Their mother was letting Kimi drive for her first day of High School and since she was a year and a half older than the other Rugrats she got her license during the summer.

"Well let's get going!"

In the DeVille household, Lil continued to straighten her wavy locks in front of her vanity on her side of the room. She remained unsatisfied as her hair just wouldn't cooperate. Suddenly she sees her nude twin walk into their room, heading toward his chest of drawers.

"Phil! What the hell!?" Lil kept her back turned toward him as to not see his nudity, though it could still be seen from her mirror.

"Whuht?" He said garbled as he had his toothbrush in his mouth.

"Put on some pants, that's what!"

"Hey. Thish is my room too!"

"What?!"

He spit in a garbage can. "This is my room too Lil."

Lillian sighed harshly. "This is how I have to start my freshman year?" She put her head down as Phil finally began to dress.

Lil forgot about her hair and decided to just tie it up in a ponytail, only leaving her highlighted lock out in front of her head. The highlight was platinum blonde today.

Lil was dressed casually in a red hoodie and a pink tank top, basic blue jeans and pink Chuck Taylors. Phil was looking urban stylish in a green button up with a red undershirt, cargo shorts with a red belt and grey and red high tops.

The twins left the house and head down to their bus stop. "Phil, pull up your pants. You look like a moron."

"Shut uuup. I don't question how you dress." Phil says.

"That's because I dress like a normal person."

"A normal, boring, white person." Phillip stuck his tongue out.

"Which I am. What? Who are you trying to be?" Lil raised a brow in curiosity.

"Phillip Richard Bill DeVille." He said proudly.

"Well Phillip DeVille needs to pull up his damn pants before I kick him in his ass." Lil said. He scowled at her.

"Well don't make me get out my cleats!" She said then pointed toward her green and pink backpack. Phil quickly pulled his shorts up so that they went just over his knee, as opposed to his shins. Lil smiled.

"I can't believe we're in high school." She said as they reached their bus stop where a few new faces were, mostly older faces.

"Yeah. I'm trying to get in on these upperclassmen parties." Phil said then smiled at a dirty blonde girl at their bus stop. "Hey Molly."

"Hey Phil." The older girl said flirtatiously. Lil scoffed in disgust as they waited for their bus.
