Title - Laugh, Love and Loony Life.
Chapter Title - Well Done God
Author - OblivionsGarden
Genre - Humour/Romance
Disclaimer - I do not own The Confessions Of Georgia Nicholson in anyway shape or form. I only own Anna, Kyle and their dad. And the plot for this fic.
A/n - Not everyone will enjoy this fic as it doesn't involve Georgia, for reasons I'm about to state.
A friend of mine is a big COGN fan and knows that I enjoy writing fics. She asked me to write a fic involving her and Dave The Laugh, just for her own entertainment. I myself haven't read the books but have read enough fics and snippets to know enough about them to write a fic. And given Gee and Dave's relationship, I couldn't see a way to include my friend with Gee around. Obviously, she won't just be gone and forgotten, she will be spoken about but for the basis of this fic she in no longer around.
It will still be in diary format, but from the pov of my friend who hopefully, you will find as amusing as Georgia. If not, then never mind, my friend can keep this for herself.
So, the OC, Anna, is based on my friend Anna. So anything she says that sounds weird is because she's weird in real life. But I love her anyway. (In a strictly non lezzie way, of course.)
Summary - Dave/OC - With Georgia gone, Dave's not as much of a laugh. But when he meets the new girl through the Ace Gang, will his laugh come back?

7:00am
New bed. New house. New town.
"Anna, up, now!" Charming father, just charming. Oh god, no. I start school today. Who the hell starts school a month into their final year and on a Tuesday? This is bloody ridiculous. "Anna!"
"I'm up!"
7:15am
This uniform is beyond help. How exactly are you supposed to express personalty with an outfit like this? Hmm...where are my badges?
7:25am
A few badges on my blazer for now and I've substituted those horrid black shoes dad bought me for my black boots. I'll work on it more when I get home. That is as long as no one at the new school decides they don't like my face and bashes it in before the day is over. Oh god, I think I'm going to be sick.
No! No, I can't be sick. It's just a school, what's the worst that could happen?
Everyone will hate me and I'll have to spend my remaining school year as a sad lonely loner with no friends.
Shush brain!
7:28am
Bathroom
Brushing my teeth again to get rid of the smell of vomit from my mouth. The door handle just twisted and someone banged on the wood from the outside.
"Get a shift on squirt, I've got an interview." Ah, Kyle. My lovely, if somewhat annoyingly over protective brother.
I replaced my toothbrush and opened the bathroom door, and nearly ended up fainting.
"Are you...are you wearing a tie?" I felt Kyle's forehead. His temperature seems fine. "Dad, I think Kyle's coming down with something. He's wearing a tie."
"I'm going to strangle you with it if you don't move."
Told you he was lovely.
7:46am
Ow, bloody ow!
Who came up with the idea of contacts? They were idiots!
A few seconds later
Well, not complete idiots because thanks to said contacts I don't have to wear those bloody horrific glasses. But still, they should've come up with a different method to get them in. Now I'm going to have to re-do my make-up because my right eye has watered enough to leave black streaks down my cheeks.
8:13am
Dad's car with Kyle.
"No glasses today, love?"
"Nope."
"She thinks they make her look ugly."
"Oh, you're not ugly, love."
"Dad, I don't think that. Kyle's just being an idiot." I saw him glance at my in the rear-view mirror and so poked my tongue out.
8:30am
New school
"Bye, love! Have fun!"
"Bye, Anna! Love you lots! I hope you have a lovely day."
"Shut up, Kyle." I glared at him as they drove away, ignoring the amused stares of some of the girls around me.
OK. Breathe. Head down. Walk forward. Ignore all.
A few seconds later.
No such bloody luck.
"Oi, you must be the new girl we were told about."
I glanced over my shoulder to see a tall, skinny girl with no forehead and knobbly knees.
"Uh, yeah." She looked me up and down in a less than pleasant manner. If she raises her eyebrows much higher they'll get stuck that way. I wonder if that's ever happened. Can you get eyebrow un-sticking surgery?
"Are you listening?"
"What? Oh, sorry."
"I said, I'm Lindsey. Who are you?"
"Anna." A few steps behind Lindsey was a group of girls who were staring at us curiously. "Um, asta la vista, dude." I scurried off.
A few minutes later.
The first girl I meet and I have to go and say Asta La Vista, dude. What's wrong with bye? Or see you? Or laters?
God I hate my brain sometimes.
German
Third lesson of the day, directly before lunch. Oh god, lunch. A whole hour where I don't have an excuse to not talk to anyone. Crapping hell!
A few seconds later
A piece of paper has just landed on my desk in front of me.
I turned around and saw five girls smiling at me and gesturing for me to open the paper.
Hi Your name's Anna, right?
We are the Ace-Gang. Feel free to sit with us at lunch. Just ignore wet-Lindsay.
Love,
The Viking Bride, The Voley One, Mabs, Jools and The Dither Queen. xx
I chuckled and tore a piece of paper from my note pad.
Yeah, I'm Anna.
And thanks, I thought I was gonna be a loner.
Love, Anna. x
Lunch
"Anna!" I jumped a little when I realized that the group of girls from German were waiting for me outside the classroom whilst Herr Kraymer gave me a few notes so I could catch up on the work I've missed. "I'm Rosie, or Ro-Ro. Otherwise known as the viking bride." I smiled and she shook my hand in a surprisingly-strong-for-a-girl manner. "This is Jas, the Voley one, because she likes voles and rambling and what not." Jas flicked her fringe and shook my hand too, more gentle this time. "This is Mabs and Jools." I shook their hands too, "And Ellen, The Dither Queen."
"Um...like...er...hello...or, y'know."
"I see what you mean." I smiled.
Art
Holey moley, the Ace-Gang are absolutely hilarious!
Rosie is completely barking and is apparently to be wed to a viking named Sven who is from some distant far off land and has a fetish for furry shorts.
"Are you walking home?" Mabs asked from across the table.
"Yeah, dad's working."
"Cool, you can walk with the Ace's and the Barmy's."
"The...Barmy's?"
"The boyfriends."
I felt my stomach drop. Great. A lovely walk home being a third wheel to a group snog-a-thon.
A few seconds later
"You OK?"
"Yep."
"Don't worry, you won't have to walk in the midst of snogs. Dave's single."
I smiled a little. Well at least I'm not the only sad one.
3:30pm
Walking down the school driveway with Mabs, Jools, Jas, Ellen and Rosie.
I'm not completely sure, but I think I see the Barmy's. (A group of lads waiting just outside the gates, waving to the girls.)
I tried walking a little slower so I was behind the girls but Rosie grabbed my hand and pulled me along up front.
A few seconds later
"Boys, this is Anna, she's new."
Dear God, or Goddess or whatever high spirit is up there, please make them stop staring.
"Anna, this is Tom, Dec, Ed, Rollo, Sven and Dave." Rosie moved over to the tower of man that was Sven and promptly snogged his face off.
Not literally, dimwit.
A few more seconds later
Everyone seemed to couple up as we walked down the road and so I straggled along at the back.
"Anna, yeah?"
What? Oh. "Yeah. You're Dave?"
Dave nodded. Dear God, goddess, higher unknown spirit...well done. You did good when you made this one, He is fab looking.
"So, how did you enjoy your new school?"
"Um...School is school I guess. Same old torture and boredom hours." He smiled. I made him smile. Aw, he has cute dimples.
Shush brain, shut up now!
3:40pm
"Ooh, Spanna!" Rosie turned back to me. Clearly, I've gained a nickname. "I'm having a party on Halloween, say you'll come."
"But I don't know anybody."
"You know us lot, and we'll all be there." Said Jas and Tom nodded from her side.
"I don't know..."
"Go on. It'll be a laugh. I'll introduce you to my camel."
"Camel?"
Dave nodded.
"Uh..."
"So that's sorted then. Spanna's coming. I'll give you details and addresses tomorrow at school." Rosie jumped onto Sven's back. "High-ho silver! Away!" And they galloped off together into the distance. It was like the end of some clinically insane love story.
A few minutes later
"S'laters Dave."
"S'laters Tom, Jas."
"Bye Anna."
"Bye Jas, Tom."
The so-called Voley couple left down the side road, leaving just me and the gorgey one walking together.
"Where abouts do you live?" Dave asked.
"Three streets down."
"Oh, I'm two streets behind you."
"Cool."
This is sehr* awkward.
"Pants."
"What?"
"Pants."
I giggle-snorted before slapping a hand over my mouth and blushing furiously. Apparently, I'd done something hilarious because Dave was now having a laughing fit and had stopped walking. Stupid snorty laugh making stupid fit boy laugh at me in that stupid fit way.
A few more minutes later
"This is me." I nodded my head up the side street.
"Right then. Erm...I can meet you here in the morning if you want, Then we can walk and meet up with the Voles and so on and so forth."
"Uh, sure...that'd be, uh...cool."
"How long have you spent with Ellen today?"
Home
"Hello?"
"Kitchen!"
3:55pm
In the kitchen
"How was school?" Kyle was cooking what appeared to be my early morning vomit.
"Alright. Met some cool people." It smelled like vomit too. "Kyle are you cooking sick?"
"It's curry."
"Stinks. How was le interview?"
"Waiting for a call back." Kyle stared at me. "Meet and male type people?"
"At an all girls school?"
"There's an all boys school just up the road, dummy."
"Oh?"
"Your innocent face only works on dad."
Poo. "Yes. But they're the boyfriends of the girls I met. So no need to panic."
"Good."
5:00pm
Spent the evening customizing my uniform, reading a book and being sehr, sehr bored.
A few seconds later
"Dad, don't you know how to knock? I'm a teen-aged girl for crap sake, I could be doing anything in here. I should have a lock."
"Hanging upside down off your bed isn't anything I should be worried about."
"Can I have a lock anyway?"
"Maybe." Result! "How was school? Meet any boys?"
Good god what is wrong with my family?
