A glint twinkled the morning dew, while a brisk breeze tickled the Loud house's chimes. Therein slept Lincoln Loud, a tranquil teen, pure like the white which capped his crown. The panes poured rays upon his person, pinning him with a warm blanket. Lincoln wrestled his bedsheets, but could not escape.
"Ugh." He groaned, submitting to the sun.
Sleep had caked his eyes while he slumped over the bedside. The day had come, the next step in the winding staircase called life. Lincoln stood and opened the door, peering down the empty hallway of memories. Much had changed, however; Autumn's bitter breath recalled the frigid chills of past farewells.
Lori was first. I knew, they knew, the whole family knew, but most importantly she knew. Near the end of fifth grade Bobby married Lori, they couldn't stand being apart any longer. It's cramped at the Santiago's, but that's nothing new to her. She's always been keen on organizing under pressure. And running the "Bobby Bodega" not only made her family, but a future CEO. She comes home ever so often to unwind.
Leni left a week after my sixth grade graduation. It was completely out of left field. Apparently it had slipped her mind, but Lola vouched that a big shot witnessed her handiwork firsthand. And sure enough that week, we watched Leni, waving aimlessly from the television. Lola's dress amazed the pageant judges when Leni transformed a wardrobe malfunction into a masterpiece, netting her the role of lead designer for the "Petite Princess Pageants". She's been the easiest to reach, at least when she remembers how to answer video chat.
Luna got her big break the summer after seventh grade. She had performed gigs before, but scored big at the "Summer Of Swagger" competition. The encore rocked the arena and just when they were about to clean up, Mick Swagger himself joined the medley. After few blistering hours they met backstage and struck a deal. Luna and Sam now drift state to state, lighting up venues as the band called "The Violet Shade". She hooks us up with VIPs when she's in town, but the rock star lifestyle is a busy one.
Last April Fools Luan uploaded a video called "The Gauntlet of Misfortune" that went viral. Then, on the day of her eighteenth birthday, a producer approached her, requesting her to furnish a series of tailored prank houses. Luan hosted the show, delivering puns and punchlines through a live feed. Thankfully we're no longer the victims, but she does visit every month to collect her "research" and share a few laughs.
Last month Lynn transferred overseas to play soccer; or futbol as she put it. She said it was a golden opportunity to spread "Lynnsanity" worldwide, however; she almost got booted off board for releasing it. The flight attendants supposedly strapped her in when she asked if they had parachutes. Lynn had always been eager to touchdown on new land.
Meanwhile, here I am at step one.
Lincoln's gaze fixated on the wall clock and then fell to his feet.
"Here we go, first day of High School."
