Hello everyone! I know for those of you who have read my other stories, I'm really sorry for being on kind of a hiatus when it comes to story writing. For the months I have been gone I have been working on this huge story which is the one you see right here!
So it all started with a simple Broppy child I had created at the beginning of this year and I ended up with this huge story idea.
Now, there are tons of OC's in this story with completely different personalities and they all contribute. It is more of a next generation story so Broppy won't be the main focus. There are a lot of main characters, however.
That is all for now! Enjoy the first chapter!
"Maddy?" Maddy buried herself deeper into the covers when she heard her mother's voice.
"Ughhhh!"
"Madison?" Poppy tried.
Even worse. "Whattt?" she moaned.
"It's time to get out of bed, honey."
"Whyyyy?"
"It's the first day of school, remember?"
That just made her feel even worse. "Don't wanna, I'll pass," she mumbled. School was not her cup of tea. It never had been.
"Sorry to break it to you, but school is necessary," Poppy said, lifting the covers to see a grumpy Maddy. She had her arms crossed and her eyebrows furrowed. "My, how you look like your father when you make that face," she giggled.
Although she did have her mother's color, she did look like Branch in the face. She was a darker pink, about the color of Poppy's hair. Her hair was a dark purple color that did not go straight up so she always wore it in a ponytail, and it was topped with a red had she had gotten when she was three. Her nose matched her purple hair and she had bright blue eyes.
"No I don't," she designed softly.
Poppy just laughed again, running a finger through her nedhead and kissing her forehead. "C'mon, you don't want to be late for your first day of your sophomore year."
When Poppy made her exit Maddy decided it was best to just get up and get ready before her father came in.
Just as she took off her pajamas, in ran a big ball of purple fuzz. "Maddy!" he exclaimed excitedly.
"AH!" she covered herself up. "Z-Zander! G-Get out!"
Zander- short for Alexander- was five years old and just starting kindergarten. He was more like Poppy than any of their kids. He was a dark purple, slightly darker than Maddy's hair, and had pink hair and a pink nose. Although he only had Branch's eyes, he was the one that looked much like him. His head was also chubby like his fathers, and he strives everyday to be like him. He did not wear a short, just orange shorts.
"Oops! Sorry," he smiled bashfully, closing the door again and running across the hall, calling for their oldest brother. "Elliot!"
Maddy calmed herself down, slipping on her light purple baggy shorts. Then her striped black and yellow tank top that reminded Branch of a bumblebee, and that had been his nickname for her since she was very young. To top it, she slipped on her blue vest, brushed her hair, put it in a ponytail, and put her hat on. Appearance did not mean much to her, and she had no interest in makeup. She did not prefer to shove on pounds of makeup that would only wear out through the course of the day.
When she opened the door a blast of her oldest brother, Elliot's, cooking filled her nostrils. She smiled. Elliot was an amazing cook. He was many things.
His color was a light blue- slightly lighter than Branch's skin- and his hair was not much darker than that. His nose was pink as Zander's, and he had Poppy's purple pink eyes. He was the type that was into nature, and respected all of it. He even had a pet mouse, Cardigan, that was too big for the house so he stayed in the stables that he and Branch had spent a weekend putting together. The mouse was no trouble. He helped with a lot of the heavy lifting when it came to building new pods.
Back to Elliot. Nevertheless, Elliot had more freckles than any troll in the troll village. He was covered in them. His cheeks, of course, as well as both of his ears, shoulders, elbows, neck, and even some on his back and chest. This is why he liked to wear a brown scarf to cover the freckles on his neck. He had put a scarf on Cardigan, too, as well as a green and red beanie he sewed together. He also wore green shorts and brown boots that had a green leaf design. He also had a girlfriend named Lexi, who his family hadn't met yet. Maddy was beginning to think Lexi was imaginary.
When Maddy came downstairs she was greeted by Branch, who stood next to Elliot. "Good morning, Bumblebee!" he smiled.
Zander was eager to start his first day. He talked at a rather fast pace as he ate his pancakes, pouring way too much syrup and butter.
"Slow down," Poppy advised.
Elliot also poured a lot of syrup and had about five pancakes. To Maddy and Poppy, both of their appetites were disgusting.
"Growing boys," Branch chuckled.
Poppy sipped her orange juice and rolled her eyes at her husband playfully. "So are you guys ready for your first day?" she asked.
It had been a big year for Elliot and Zander. Elliot was starting his senior year while Zander was just starting school to begin with. It was not a big year for Maddy, so she had nothing much to say about it all.
Once the family finished breakfast, Poppy took Zander to school and Maddy and Elliot were ready to go.
When Maddy opened the door to head out she was greeted by purple flowers. She sighed, picking them up and reading the note. They reminded me of your hair! You're welcome ;) -Halo
She sighed. Halo was always doing this kind of stuff. The young troll stood about to Elliot's shoulder. His color was orange, his hair a darker orange that it almost looked red. He had brown eyes, a blue nose, a great sense of humor, and was a hopeless romantic. He was only after one girl, and that was Maddy. The main problem with Halo was that he could not take a hint. He didn't understand that when Maddy said no it meant no. But he kept trying, his spirits up high.
"What's wrong?" Elliot asked. "Ooo, more flowers from your little boyfriend?"
"He's not my boyfriend," Maddy said flatly.
"Yeah. Huh uh."
"Yeah!"
"Yeah."
Her patience wore thin. Now he was just mocking her. "Yes!"
Elliot cleared his throat. "All joking aside, why don't you just give the poor guy a chance. He may surprise you."
Maddy snorted. "Surprise me?"
"You're never impressed, are you?" asked her brother.
"Well-"
"Let's just go. Leave the flowers, unlike you Mom may want them."
Maddy nodded, putting the rose on the table- unsure where else to put them. Without any other words, they slipped out the door. "Good morning Prince Elliot, Princess Maddy," said a green troll, nodding towards them politely. Well, you could only seen green feet but they knew the voice. His face and body were blocked by a large pot.
"Good morning Pip," Elliot said. "Need a hand?"
"Yes, that'll be great. Thank you."
Maddy lost interest pretty quickly. Elliot looked like he got this one.
She smiled when she saw a familiar glittery troll. Her best friend, Sparkie. She was the daughter of DJ Suki and Guy Diamond. She had glitter all over her, but did not prefer to be naked. Instead, she wore a white turtleneck sweater with a red heart on it and hot pink shorts with light blue boots with white polka dots on them. She had to have the messiest hair in the whole troll tree. It was a bright orange color like her mother's. It almost made others believe she never brushed it, but Maddy could tell you fair and square that she did, judging by how many sleepovers they had over the years. As for her eyes, they were two different colors: her right one was pink, while the left one was blue. Her nose was exactly the same as her Dad's- a bright lime color.
Sparkie was the type that liked to read just about every book the library had to offer. She never got into any trouble, and always had perfect grades. Maddy couldn't say they had similar interests, but that is what made them such great friends. Opposites did attract. The one problem Maddy did have with her is that Sparkie had low self confidence. Well, not directly with her, it was just something she had lacked.
"Hi Sparkie!" she waved, approaching her.
"Hey, Maddy," said the glittery troll, smiling at her friend. "Did you hear the news?"
"What news?"
"Seth is back!"
Maddy's face dropped and formed a scowl. "Oh…"
He was navy blue with green eyes, a green nose, creamy yellow hair and purple tips. He wore a purple shirt that was always unbuttoned and red shorts. When he wasn't causing trouble he was the trouble. His name was Seth, and ironically he was Chenilles only son. He was nothing like her.
As of two years ago, Seth had been sent to a special school to help discipline him. Dating back to elementary school, he had been picking numerous fights with numerous trolls. Rather than fear him most would want to be him.
Seth always used to walked around like he was the coolest kid in the troll tree. Some thought so, too. Girls in particular. Girls were definitely his area, he loved girls. If only he could make them love him. Before they could be in love he'd drop them just like that, and he didn't even appear to care about their feelings. Back in middle school, if one were to see a girl crying, it was most likely because of Seth. He didn't care about school all that much, either. He thought it was a waste of time but his mother forced him to go.
"So what's the good news…?"
Sparkie chuckled. "Maybe he is better now. You gotta give him a chance."
Maddy huffed. She and Seth had never gotten along, even when they were very little. "What if he hasn't changed?"
"If he didn't change why would they send him back to the troll tree?"
"Dunno. Maybe they couldn't deal with them either," she shrugged while Sparkie looked amused.
"Hello girls!"
Here came another troll Maddy disliked. Seth's cousin, Chloe. Aka Satin's daughter. She was tall and slender, taller than most female trolls her age. She had pink skin like her mother's and her hair was a lighter pink. Her eyes and nose where bright yellow, and she wore a red glittery dress with white stars on it. To top her look, she wore silver earrings.
She was mostly known as the gossip girl of their grade. Well, pretty much the entire troll tree. She loved great gossip. Other than that, her number one dream was to be a Queen, which Maddy could not understand. Wasn't being a princess torture enough?!
"What do you want?" Maddy asked flatly, her ears droopier than usual.
"I just wanted to informally invite you to my one woman show Friday night!" She handed Maddy and Sparkie a pink flyer.
"One woman show?! Chloe, that is the talent show! It isn't all about you!"
Chloe fluttered her eyelashes and giggled. "Oh, but can't we just imagine it is?"
"No," Maddy said, crossing her arms.
"We can!" Sparkie spoke up. "Right Maddy?!"
"But the talent show isn't starting for another two weeks! Auditions aren't for another few days," she protested. "This isn't even real!" She shoved the flyer in the tall trolls face as Sparkie continued to look at it.
"It looks real," Sparkie murmured.
"Of course it does," said the pink troll.
Maddy rolled her eyes. "Well bye!"
Chloe held her heart. "Whats wrong Madison?"
"Leave!"
Sparkie clenched her teeth together, gripping her friend's shoulders. "It's alright, Chloe. You can stay a while…"
"Ah, ah, ah, the princess wants what the princess wants." She pushed past them and walked away. Before she was out of site, she smiled over her shoulder. "Just don't rain on my parade!" Her eyes were now bright with excitement. "Don't rain on my parade! That's it!"
And suddenly, she was out of sight.
"UGH!" Maddy bursted out. "She's so...so...ugh! I swear one day I'm going to take those pink arms and rip them off her pink body!"
"Maddy."
"And then...and then I'll slap her face with her own hands! And then I'm-"
"Maddy!" Sparkie said through her teeth. "People are looking!"
Suddenly a thousand pairs of eyes were on her, just staring at her. Elliot looked rather embarrassed. He hid his face in his scarf and looked away, walking in the direction of their school.
Maddy cleared her throat and smiled awkwardly. They studied the princess up and down before rezoning their day. Sparkie dragged Maddy away and they continued their walk to school.
"You need to stop drawing so much attention to yourself," Sparkie nagged.
"What's the point? They stare at me. It isn't my fault I'm the princess."
"I never said that. You could be less loud."
That isn't my fault either…
She did get her loudness from her mother. Zander was like that, too. Elliot was more quiet and preserved like Branch. He wasn't like most trolls his age. He was more mature than that. He sat down on the couch and read most of the time. If he wasn't reading he was out taking care of Cardigan or studying whatever animal wandered by. And at night, he would study the stars. He was the type that didn't need friends. He had his family and his girlfriend and his mouse. That was all he needed. Maddy wished she was more independent like that. She tried to be, yet one of her biggest fears was being alone.
When they finally entered the large pod that was school, a new presence walked beside Sparkie and Maddy: Halo. He opened the door for them, like any gentleman would. Once they had gone in, the orange troll stood rather closely to Maddy so that she felt his hot breath hit her shoulder. "Halo! Personal space please!"
"Sorry honeybun!" He grinned nervously. "Honeybun" had always been what Halo had called her, as long as she could remember. It was annoying, but every time she said it she felt her ears go hot.
"Don't call me that…"
The trio's first stop was the get their lockers. There was no assigned lockers so Maddy and Sparkie could have theirs next to each other just as they did last year. Halo took the locker next to Maddy before anyone else could. He did the same thing freshman year and the year before that, so Maddy had grown used to it.
"We ought to get our schedule," said Maddy, "The bell will ring soon and you know how crowded…" She paused when she saw a rather large crowd waving their hands and trying to get through. Some were asking numerous questions while others in the front stood wide eyed while a rather deep, male voice spoke.
"What's going on?" Halo asked.
"Ugh, why are they all paying attention to him when they should be crowding me!" Chloe dramatically fell into Halo's arms.
"Where did you come from?" The orange troll asked.
Chloe ignored his question. "Didn't you hear? Seth is back!"
"I have heard," said Sparkie.
"Me too, unfortunately." Maddy should have known that the large crowd was because of Seth.
"His voice got way deeper…" Sparkie said, blinking a few times.
It wasn't long until the bell had rung and the crowd was beginning to disappear, finally revealing Seth. The teenage troll had his arms crossed and was leaned up against his locker. He was smirking that smirk, just like he always had before he had left. Two years could change someone. Not in personality but in looks. Even Maddy could admit that he looked a lot more grown up than when he had left. He was muscular and taller now.
Then he spoke. "Hello Madison!"
Maddy growled. "Didn't I tell you not to call me that a long time ago?!"
"Yes...but did I listen?"
"Of course not," said Chloe before Maddy could say anything. She looked more amused than angry. "Welcome back Seth!" She hugged her cousin quickly before heading to class.
"Hi Seth!" Halo said. "It's nice to see you again," he said. Halo always did his best to be nice to Seth because he never knew if anything happened behind closed doors. Maddy didn't care much about that because she was sure as the sun everything was fine. If it wasn't, why be a jerk? Why take it out on innocent trolls? Maddy never stopped to think about it so, unlike Halo, she wasn't staring today.
Seth gave him a nod before looking at Sparkie and smirking. "What's wrong Sparkles? Cat got your tongue…?"
Sparkie's mouth was hung open for quite a while until Maddy elbowed her. "N-No...welcome back." She gave him a brisk nod, hiding her red face in her turtleneck before they walked off to get their schedules. They were probably going to be late. Although he knew it too, Seth stayed where he was. He always came in late. Some things never changed.
The day had dragged on forever. Maddy had only seen Sparkie once and that was for first period. Seth was in her English class, which sucked. Chloe was there too, which also sucked. The teacher made a terrible mistake by placing Chloe right in the back of Maddy and Seth in the front.
"Ow!" Maddy yelped when she felt a tug on her hair. "Stop pulling my hair!"
Chloe giggled. "Sorry, I can't help it! It's so soft!"
"Well stop!"
Then Seth turned around. "Can I borrow a pencil?"
"No."
He pouted. "And why not?"
"Because," she answered simply.
"Because why?"
"Because- ow! Chloe!"
"I'm getting the feeling I'm hurting you...?" Chloe asked.
"Yes! My gosh, you don't know your own strength!" Maddy took her hat off and began to rub her head. Mr. Phillips did not appear to care about what had just happened so Maddy decided to let it go as he proceeded to tell the classroom rules. She sighed and let herself ponder whether or not she could stand Seth or Chloe. Both of them were hard to bear. Seth had not changed at all since he left. He was still the cockiest troll she had ever encountered. Chloe had been the Queen of one thing, and that was drama. That was the only Queen she would ever be, Maddy thought.
And that, other than boring science, had been her day. She hadn't had that class with any of her friends so it was very lonely.
Her last class before lunch was math. Ugh. She stopped when she saw Seth enter the classroom pod. Double ugh. Maddy approached the classroom pod sluggishly, hoping this would go by fast so she could just get to lunch already. "Honeybun!"
Maddy jumped when she heard Halo's voice. "Hi!"
"Hey," she said nonchalantly.
Before she could open the door he smiled and opened it for her. "Ladies first!"
Maddy sighed as she walked in the classroom pod. When she peered the classroom she was happy to know that Sparkie was in this class as well. She raced to her friend and took a seat next to her before anyone else could. Halo was hot on her heels and sat next to her.
"Look who's here," Sparkie said, pointing to the direction of Chloe, followed by her friend Coral.
"Ugh, again? I just had a class with both her and Seth. She wouldn't stop pulling my hair!"
"Well at least Coral is in this class," Halo said.
Coral was nice enough. Her full name was Coral Blue because of her hair color, that was always put up in pigtail buns. Her skin color was yellow and she had the biggest deep blue eyes anyone had ever seen. She wore a flower headband that was orange to match the scrunchies that held up her hair, and the flower was purple. Her dress was striped and the colors were lime green and purple; she also wore red heart earrings. Maddy didn't know much about Coral other than she was Chloe's best friend. That and she was a bit clumsy and awkward but aren't we all?
Maddy just couldn't see how Coral could put up with Chloe and her drama. They were complete opposites. She could see Coral in more of a group of girls that were actually nice, got good grades, and had pillow fights.
But it was not her place to tell the yellow troll where she belonged, so she stayed out of it. Her and Sparkie were opposites, and they were closer than ever.
When Coral's gaze met Seth's, Maddy knew exactly what was going to happen, and Coral's fate was doomed. She smiled at him shyly, playing with her hair. When Chloe had saw this she moved her friend along.
"He's nothing but trouble," Chloe was saying. Seth was still smirking, watching them get to where they wanted to sit which was a few rows behind Maddy, Sparkie, and Halo.
Maddy couldn't help but feel proud of Chloe for doing that. Maybe she wasn't so bad.
Seth had took his seat right behind Coral.
Chloe huffed.
Their teacher got up from his desk and wrote down his name on the whiteboard. It read Mr. Malcolm. It had a nice ring to it.
Mr. Malcolm was a indigo blue color with brown hair and green eyes and wore black square glasses. He also wore a red suit and tie, with mint green shorts that had the sign for pi. Maddy knew a guy had to be pretty crazy about math if he sewed the pi sign on his shorts.
When he spoke Maddy actually found herself interested. It isn't what he said that interested her, it is what he didn't say. Usually, a teacher would often bore the class with his or her boring stories from the past or talk about themselves but Malcolm did not do that. The first thing he said was "welcome to your sophomore year". Then he had told them this was his first year teaching at the Troll Tree and he was excited for this school year. He was very enthusiastic, Maddy noticed, which was a good quality to have in a teacher.
Maddy raised her hand.
"Yes ma'am?" he smiled.
"You're very weird," Maddy said, making a few trolls snicker. Sparkie giggled too.
He smiled. "And why is that?"
"What I mean is, how come you don't bore us with old stories?"
"I have no stories to tell."
"C'mon! Everyone has a story!" Halo cut in.
"Yeah," Sparkie agreed.
"Do you have any kids?" Maddy asked curiously.
Mr. Malcolm chuckled at the eager students. "Twin girls."
"What are their names?" asked Coral.
"Brooke and Ellie. They are freshman here, they were excited to start high school but glad I wasn't going to be their teacher."
"It makes sense," Seth said. "I mean, if my mom were a teacher…" He shuttered.
Technically, his mother was.
Seth also had a younger sister, Emerald. Most called her Gem. Both names fit for two different reasons. Emerald because it was the exact shade of green that glowed on her skin. Her family had nicknamed her Gem because she wore a gem necklace around her neck. Rather than a dress, she wore a thick sky blue jacket with purple pants and boots. She had a chip in her left ear, which everyone assumed that she was naturally born with because she had no scarrs. Her hair was a purple as her pants and boots, with a little bit of yellow on the tips.
Even though she didn't say a word, Gem was the complete opposite of Seth, Maddy knew. Just by way she looked she knew she wouldn't pull even half the stuff that her brother had. It wasn't fair to say that, however. Gem hadn't talked for as long as anyone could remember, and she only came outside once in a good while but she always held Chenille hand and didn't let go until they reached their pod. It was sad, really, considering the green troll was nearly fourteen. She had no social skills, so she was homeschooled.
"At the troll tree," Seth added softly.
"You've got a wife?" Maddy asked.
"You just want to know everything, don't you?" he chortled.
"I think I like Mr. Malcolm," Sparkie decided, taking a bite out of her sandwich. "He's nice, dontcha think?"
Maddy nodded. He sure did stand out from the other teachers. She couldn't help but feel like he was hiding something. "Yeah," she finally agreed after thinking it over. "He seems oddly preserved, though."
"You've gotta respect his privacy."
"The old man is a loon," Seth interrupted their conversation, taking a seat across from them.
"What do you want now?" Maddy sighed.
"Be nice," Sparkie said. "Hi Seth!" she chirped.
"Hi, Sparkles. See Madison? Some people are happy I am back."
"It's Sparkie," she corrected him gently.
"It's Maddy!" Maddy corrected irritably.
"Well I was just trying to be friendly," said Seth mockingly. "I mean, isn't Maddison you're real name…?"
"It is! But you know I prefer Maddy! If you don't call me by my name, at least call Sparkie by her real name."
"That sounds fair," he said. "But we'll see." His gaze once again met Coral's, who had just gotten her lunch with Chloe. He stood up.
"Going to flirt?" Maddy guessed.
"Wish me luck?" he asked, once again smirking.
"No."
"Whatever. I don't even need luck!"
"What a fool of himself!" Maddy said as she watched him approach Coral.
Sparkie watched him contently.
"I mean, Coral is way too good for someone like Seth," she continued. "She deserves better."
"I agree," Sparkie said, finally. Maddy knew that her friend was quite impressed with Seth's return. Even she had to admit that he was a handsome troll, but that did not make her like him anymore than she did before. And neither would Sparkie.
The two observed and found that Seth still had it. He and Coral seem to hit it off nicely, but Maddy doubted it was going anywhere. Chloe had her arms crossed, knowing just as well as Maddy what was going to happen.
"Hi guys!" Halo said, setting down his lunch and sitting next to Maddy. Once again invading her personal space. He put his arm around her.
"Off," she grumped.
He pouted, removing his arm and putting it to his side and staring at his feet. "I wish you would go out with me…" he muttered.
"In your dreams!"
"Please," he begged. "Just one date!"
"Read my lips: not. Interested."
Sparkie laughed. "You two are cute."
"Cute? We aren't cute," Maddy protested.
"I think we would be cute," Halo smjled. "You're such a cute bun bun. Especially when you get mad…" He sighed lovingly.
Maddy felt the blood rush to her cheeks quickly.
"N-No I'm not!"
"Here he comes," Sparkie said.
Seth had returned smirking like an idiot. "I got myself a date Friday night!"
"Awesome," Halo smiled.
Maddy rolled her eyes but then smiled fakely. "Ohhh what are you two gonna do? I assume you have it all planned! Dinner, movie, passionate love making, then it is on to the next girl right? Just remember to use protection, don't want any Seth Jr's."
Sparkie's eyes went big, as well as Halo's.
Then it was Seth's turn to smile fakely. "You know what Maddison? I think you have been a naughty girl. Even naughtier than me! Why don't you have some milk…"
Seth took the milk from his tray he had left behind when he had gone to talk to Coral, and poured it all over Maddy's hat. It leaked all the way down to her legs. Her eyes were tightly closed, and they stayed that way for a long while.
Halo gasped. "I-I'll get a napkin..."
"Sit down!" Maddy felt around and griped his wrist. She then felt around for the napkin. She felt around before wiping her face, meeting Seth's gaze. "SETH!" She screamed at the top of her lungs, wanting nothing more but to choke him. Before she could lurch herself towards them she was held back by both Halo and Sparkie. "Let me go! I'm gonna kill him!"
"No one is killing anyone," Sparkie said, trying her hardest to stay calm.
"I WILL kill him!"
Maddy managed to wiggle out of their grip, coming to a realization that if she beat him up she would end up like Seth, so instead she took Halo's spaghetti and threw it right in a once laughing Seth's face.
Maddy smiled innocently, putting her arms behind her back. "Awww your face looks so cute now that it's covered in spaghetti! No one can look at it now!"
Seth growled. "Like your face brightens my day!" He took some carrot cake from his plate. "Time for some dessert!" He grinned, smearing the cake all over her face so some even went up her nose and into her mouth.
She spit it right on his face. "Ew!"
"Yeah! Ew!" she laughed. "Now you are infested with countless Maddy germs!"
"Don't you mean Madison germs!?"
"Say that again," Maddy said.
"What?"
"Say that again!" she repeated, clenching her fist together.
"Oh," he said innocently, putting his finger to his chin and pretending to think. "Madison germs was it…?"
"That's it!" Maddy was an inch away from beating the life out of him until an unfriendly voice ended the madness.
"What's wrong with you two?!" asked one of the lunch ladies, pulling Maddy off of him. "Principal's office, now!"
Seth had entered Principal Jenkins office pod confidently until he realized his mother was sitting in the chair near the principal.
His eyes widened. "Yeesh…" He backed away slowly but sighed when Chenille gripped his wrist.
"Don't even think about it," she said warningly in a voice that had secretly scared him.
Maddy smirked. "You'd better listen to your mommy, Mama's boy!"
"And you'd better listen to your mother too, Madison!"
Maddy gulped when she heard Poppy's voice. It was similar to the tone Chenille used with Seth but it was louder and almost scarier. Poppy sat down in the seat next to Chenille.
"Now what is this about?" Poppy asked.
When Principal Jenkins explained the story, both mother's had their eyes narrowed at their children. It had definitely been worse for Seth, who had just gotten back from a school who had taught him how to deal with this stuff and now he went and did it over again.
Now it was time to him to work his charm. "I didn't do anything to hurt Maddy, sir," Seth said in a fake, pleading voice. "Not a thing! I was just standing there and she just started saying mean words to me! She lurched herself towards me, I was so scared!"
"He's lying!" Maddy protested. "He wasn't scared!"
"Did you lurch towards him, though?" Poppy asked firmly.
"No," she lied.
"Madison."
"Yeah…" she sighed. "But he's lying about him not doing anything! He knew what he was doing, he spilt milk all over me! I have the stain to prove it!"
Chenille looked at Maddy and studied her up and down. "She's right."
Seth snorted. "Cmon mom! Anyone could have done that!"
"Principal Jenkins," Chenille spoke up. "Seth made a mistake. We all make mistakes…"
Why is she defending him?!
"Do you think you can just drop it?"
"Mam-"
"Just this one time!" she begged. "Seth is a good boy, I know that."
Maddy crossed her arms and folded her arms, shaking her head slowly. Lies. All lies.
"I agree with Chenille," Poppy said.
Of course you would…
"Do you think if Maddy apologizes to Seth and Seth apologizes to Maddy this can all be over?"
Principal Jenkins thought until nodding. "Very well, but if it happens again there will be harsher consequences!" Maddy and Seth were relieved until he said this: "But I will have to require them both with detention the rest of this week."
"I understand," said Chenille.
"I think that is fair," said Poppy.
Seth and Maddy's very audible groans could be heard from miles away, and they knew just by the look their mothers gave them they were in for a long ride.
But this really was a tiny fraction of it all.
This was just an average day (minus the detention park). So buckle up and enjoy the ride, because the rest is kind of a long story.
That's the wrap! I really hope you enjoyed this because I enjoyed writing it! So as you can see this was from Maddy's point of view. It won't be like that for every chapter, sometimes it'll be Elliot's or Zander's or even Sparkie's and Seth's.
At this point you probably hate Seth and Chloe XD That is completely fine tho! But by the end if this thing I guarantee you will love them. Maybe not by the end of this book, but I know you will by the time this is all over, I've got three books planned.
Please feel free to tell me what you think! :)
