Just as I promised, I'm posting chapter 2 today because of my Labor Day trip. Remember, I'll usually be posting these chapters weekly, so chapter 3 comes out on Friday, and so on and so forth!
In this chapter, we'll be focusing on each Belcher on their first day of school. I'll try to have them each share the same amount of screen ti- ... Well, story time, if we're getting into technicals here. Enjoy! Also, this chapter is gonna introduce my OC to the story. I'll try not to focus too much on her for this portion :)
Bob to the Future - Chapter 2: School Daze
"Holy crap!" Louise exclaims, as she gazed upon her brand new school "This is like a completely different universe!"
"Not really" Tina says "I think the only major difference from Wagstaff School is the lack of double lockers. They're all single now" She points over to the large, single lockers
"Woah! You could stuff a living, breathing human in there!" Louise observes. She then faces her much taller brother "Hey Gene! Get in there! I wanna test out my theory!"
"Ok!" Gene happily obliges her request. He tried to fit himself into the lockers, due to his recent growth spurt, he can't seem to fit
Louise begins aggressively pushing him into it, but fails also "Come on! Get in there!" She strains. This commotion obviously earned them some confused glances from other students
When Louise finally managed to squeeze Gene into the locker, she removed her hands from him "Ha! I knew I could fit a human in there! Ok, you can get out of there now, Gene!"
Gene strains as he tries to escape the confined space he was occupying "I think I'm stuck"
She then tries to pull him out of there, but that was probably even harder than getting him to go in
"Ah! Stop pulling so hard before you rip off my arm! I'll need that!" Gene screams
As Louise pulls even harder, she finally ends up freeing him, only for him to land right on top of her "Whoops, sorry about that!" He says
Louise's screams are muffled, and she manages to only wave her arms out of there "Help! Tina!" She says, though her speech is slightly muffled
"I'd love to, Louise. But I've kind of got some important Jimmy Jr scavenging to do. No hard feelings" Tina responds, walking off nonchalantly
"God dammit, Tina!" Louise yells, still under Gene's weight. She does manage to push her self out of there just in time before she broke a bone "Ugh! I felt like I was being smothered by a monster truck on steroids!"
That's when a rather tall, muscular looking man walks past the halls, catching a glimpse of the brother and sister. He was clad in a maroon training jacket, a whistle around his neck, track shorts, Nike sneakers, and a cap which reads "Wagstaff Wildebeests"
"Hey, no roughhousing" The man booms "School hasn't even started yet, Jesus Christ..." He walks away
"Ha, sorry about that, Mr. Parnell!" Gene says, still lying on the ground
"Mr. Parnell?" Louise asks
"Yeah! He's our P.E. teacher!" Gene explains "You'll love him! Once you get past the fact that he makes us run 50 laps around the gym every other day, that is"
The school bell rings loudly just at that moment, and most of the students leave their lockers to head to homeroom
"Great, just great" Louise sarcastically says, as she pulls out her schedule
"Who do you have for homeroom?" Gene asks, pulling out his schedule too
"I've got Mr. Van Horn for Language Arts. What a doofus name, I can already tell he's a major wet blanket" Louise griped, stuffing the slip of paper back into her pocket "How about you?"
"I've got Ms. Ramey for History!" Gene exclaims "That doesn't sound so bad!"
"Better than Language Arts from Mr. Van Dork" Louise replies "Anyways, see ya later"
"See ya!" Gene says, walking off in the other direction
*Louise
(the beginning of each Belcher's story begins at nearly the same time, around when the first bell rang)
Louise walks through the hallways of the building, in search for Room 203, her homeroom
She scans the doors, reading off the numbers "206, 205, 204... I must be close" As she approaches the next door, expecting it to read 203, she gasps "212?! Who the hell arranges doors like that?!"
After a few more minutes of scrutinization, she finally manages to find Room 203... Right in between 513 and 109.. For some reason
She opens the door and enters the classroom. Huh, looks like class hadn't even started yet. The teacher wasn't even present. From first glance, Louise could already spot some familiar faces as she made her way to a free desk in the classroom
"Hi there, Louise!" Rudy greets, just before he aggressively sucks into his inhaler. It almost seemed like Rudy didn't change one single bit over the years. He was literally just a taller version of his 4th grade self. He kept his ginger receding hair style, navy blue top, and red shorts. Not to mention his asthma
"Hey, Rudy" Louise replies, simply waving at him, as she continues walking
"Hi Louise! OMG! I missed you so much over the summer! How are you? Are you good? I'm sure you are! My summer was crazy fun! I did so many cool things! Did you? Because I did! I went to the water park, and I got to leave the state twice! The first trip was to an amusement part and the other was to visit my grandma! Did you know she's 95 years old? That's so cool! I can't believe blah blah blah blah"
Who else talks that much? But of course, it was Harley. Her hair grew slightly and it kept its curl. It was still held in a blue hairband. She wore a white short sleeved shirt with a smiley face plastered across it, over a long sleeved shirt with rainbow colored sleeves, and a short denim skirt with cowgirl boots. Talk about a wacky wardrobe
"Hey, Harley" Louise interrupts, trying to shut her up "Listen, I'd love to hear you talk more, but I kind of have this thing called a life, and I'm kind of in the mood to live it, so if you don't mind me leaving..." She trails off, walking away from her
"Hey! I have one of those two!" Harley replies, giggling "I also have a new filling from last week! This part is silver, but this part is sort of a blah blah blah"
Louise tried her best to prevent any further social interaction by just walking past classmates or flat out ignoring them. Though this next student, was very hard to ignore
"When I say "Lou", you say "Eze"! Lou!"
Louise's pupils dramatically constrict, as her grows "Oh god"
Millie Frock, Louise's biggest fan and biggest fear. Ever since 4th grade, she had the belief that Louise was her conjoined twin, never wanting to leave her side. Louise could hardly believe she was still in this school. By now, they should've sent her off to an insane asylum. Her blonde hair almost grew to her waist and she had no longer wore it in ponytails. She wore a light blue sweater and a black knee length skirt
"Hi there, BFF!" Millie replies, as she holds Louise in a choke hold hug
"Ah! C-Can't... B-Breathe!" Louise wheezes, trying to escape her grasp
"I missed you so much!"
"I-It's only been *wheeze* three months!"
"More like 3 centuries! Ha ha ha ha!"
Louise finally escapes Millie's tight clutches. This had been the 3rd time she was stuck in between something just this morning. First, her own mother, then her own brother, and now a major bother "Millie! It's been well over 1 full year and you're still chasing after me?"
"Of course! Why wouldn't I be? We are best friends, after all. Aren't we Louise?" Millie asks, getting dangerously close to Louise's face
"Ugh! Millie! We are not best friends! Can't you just accept that?!" Louise growls, clenching her fists. She turns and keeps walking
"Oh, we will be best friends, Louise..." Millie says, staring at Louise as she left, with a smile that could kill
"Ok, slightly bad start, Louise. But I'm sure it'll get better over the years" Louise says to herself "I just need to find a place to sit so I'm not stuck with someone I completely detest for the rest of the year"
She passed some new kids, nah, she didn't feel comfortable sitting with some kids she barely knew. She wasn't exactly the welcoming type either. She would've sat next to Rudy, but Harley's right behind the seat by him, and she wasn't gonna get talked to death. When it seemed all hope was out the window, she spotted two easily recognizable faces
"Perfect" Louise simply says to herself, finally satisfied. She walks over to the two "Hey Andy, hey Ollie"
"Hey, Louise!" Both Andy and Ollie reply simultaneously. Ah, the Pesto Twins. They might as well be Siamese Twins too. Looks like they still haven't gotten tired of doing literally everything together. Like Rudy, they hadn't changed very much in appearance. They wore their usual attire, just in a bigger size
"We were just trying to super glue both of our heads together so we'd never leave each other's side!" Andy exclaimed, lifting up a tube of slightly worn-out super glue
Louise, uninterested, tried to cut to the chase "Yeah, yeah, that's nice and everything, I guess"
"Hey! You wanna sit next to us?" Ollie asks
"I thought you'd never ask!" Louise says, relived she didn't have to face sitting with any other classmates of hers. She sits exactly one sit away from them, leaving a free desk in between there
"You can sit right over here, Louise!" Andy says, slapping his hand on the desk directly next to them
"Well, I just figured one of you would need to sit right there" She explains
"It's no problem. Me and Andy share a seat!" Ollie says
Slightly creeped out, Louise awkwardly exits her seat and sits next to the twins, all the way in the back of the classroom
And just in knick of time, Mr. Van Horn entered the classroom, silencing everyone
Van Horn was a tall, thin man, maybe too thin. He wore a plain grey sweater over a tucked-in collared shirt, with a tie to top it all off. He also wore khaki dress pants, a leather belt, and black dress shoes. Onto his facia features, he resembled a middle aged man, with slightly noticeable wrinkles here and there, and a just unimpressed expression. He had a Tom Selleck-esque mustache, just slightly larger and barely covering his entire mouth. Last, he wore large bifocals due to his impaired eyesight
He walked behind his desk, sat down, and placed his hands on it casually, without saying a single word
The class was also awkwardly silent for a while, maybe even a bit creeped out
After what seemed like ages, Mr. Van Horn finally spoke up, in a very monotonous voice "Good morning, students. I am Mr. Van Horn, your new Language Arts teacher for the rest of the school semester"
"What a creep... He's like Tina as a 49 year old man..." Louise whispers to herself
He stands up from his seat, now with a much more stern look on his face directed at his class "In my class, I will not tolerate disrespect, inappropriate actions, or anything else that is sure to get on my last nerves"
The class looked at each other fearfully, and everyone looked completely miserable. So Louise felt it was her job to lighten the mood
"Oh, yeah? Does this get on your last nerves?" Louise asks, as she proceeded to place both of her palms on her mouth to make a fart noise, causing her whole class to laugh at her antics
Though, Mr. Van Horn didn't take this too lightly, as he physically displayed his anger "Excuse me, what is your name?"
"Louise Belcher, what the hell is it to you?" Louise replies, reclining her two feet on her desk with her head rested back on the wall
This received some mild "oohs" from the classroom, as they turned their attention to the now furious teacher
"Ah, Louise Belcher... I believe you're the sister to Tina and Gene Belcher?"
"You know it!" Louise exclaims
"Well, aren't you rather... Different from your older siblings?" He says
"You can count on that, Van Dork" Louise responds
"What... What are you chewing on?!" Mr. Van Horn asks, examining the child
Louise blows up the hugest bubble out of her gum, and it quickly pops "Bubble gum"
"Woah.. What a rebel.." Rudy gapes
"OMG, OMG, OMG! I can't believe Louise did that! Speaking of which, I can't believe Louise has done many things. Like the time she blah blah blah blah" Harley rambled
"Leave that gum under your desk after class Louise! I'll be needing it!" Millie says, grinning creepily
"Me and Ollie share gum all the time! Isn't that right, Ollie?" Andy asks his brother
"We share everything! People even say we share a brain!" Ollie says, oblivious to the obvious insult people threw at him and his twin brother
Mr. Van Horn looked like his head was about to explode. He pulls out a pink colored slip and rights a few words on it "I didn't think I'd have to do this on the first day of school. Heck, during the first 5 minutes of class too. But you leave me no choice, Ms. Belcher" He hands her a detention slip "2 hour detention after school!"
Louise looks at the paper. In the space where it says "Receiving Detention For:" Van Horn had written "Inappropriate remarks, vulgar language, gum chewing, and disrespect, all within the first 5 minutes of class" "Heh, new record" Louise grins
"And I'll be moving you up to the front of the class so I can keep an eye on you!" Mr. Van Horn adds. He points to a girl in the front row of the classroom "You! Please switch seats with Ms. Belcher"
She lifts her backpack and moves to where Louise had been sitting. Louise also left her seat and sat right where she was previously occupying
"Guess I wasn't wrong about the wet blanket thing" Louise says to herself in her head
Gene
Gene didn't have much of a problem finding his classroom as Louise did, since he had been attending this high school for a good 3 years. When he had entered the classroom, he noticed it was much smaller than he had expected. Probably less than 20 people in there. Same with Louise, his teacher wasn't in the class either
While scanning the room, he noticed a lot of familiar faces, though he couldn't be bothered to talk to them, seeing as he didn't have much friends in his grade. I mean, this is the same kid who got overly attached to a talking toilet back in 6th grade
Probably the only good friend he could actually remember was the infamous Peter Pescadero. He was probably the only kid who could actually tolerate Gene's weird antics and habits. They had been good friends ever since they met in Wagstaff, even if they were almost complete opposites. Though they did share some interests, such as music and- ... Er, well, music
Speaking of the boy, it wasn't too long till he spot him sitting at his desk, twiddling his fingers
"Hey there, Peter!" Gene yells loud enough for the whole class to hear, which definitely got Peter's attention right away
"Oh, hey there Gene" Peter replies with a simple grin. I'll tell ya, his voice had gotten a bit more deeper since 6th grade. He now wore a short sleeved emerald shirt on top of a long sleeved white shirt, along with jeans and brown kicks "How are you?"
"Good question, Peter!" Gene says "I'm just..." He pulls out his robot voice megaphone "GREAT!" He speaks through it, fluctuating his voice as usual
"Oh wow, you still carry that around?" Peter asks, looking at the device
"Yup! I carry almost everything from 6th grade around! My keyboard, my..." He pulls it out a second time and says "Megaphone!" He places it back down "And my lovable personality!" Gene stops speaking for a moment, and begins looking around as if he had lost something of his possession
"What's the matter, Gene?" Peter asks
"I just feel like something in this classroom is missing... Well, someone to be exact.." After sniffing around a bit more, he notices the difference "Hey! Where's Courtney? Wasn't she here last year?"
"Yeah she was, but didn't you hear? She transferred, and she's out of the state. All the way in Montana" Peter explains
"Really?!" Gene gasps "Why?"
"No one knows for sure, but one rumor is that her dad got a big hit job offer for his new commercial jingle, and they had to move" Peter replies
"I see..."
Gene hadn't exactly had the best relationship with Courtney. It always seemed to vary between those 2. He could never forget that time in 6th grade when he made the mistake of dating her, just so he wouldn't hurt her feelings. Well that ended with her being sent to the hospital by the paramedics at her birthday party. Long story. Not too long later, they started dating again, and the feelings were mutual. Too bad that ended within about 2 days, and this time, it was Courtney who called off the shots. It wasn't like they hated each other after that. After all, it was for the best. But after that, the two became so distant. They barely ever found themselves interacting through 7th, 8th, 9th, and 10th grade. It was like she faded out of Gene's life and was gone forever, despite her being in the same classes as him. That was the only real relationship Gene had ever been in, and he wasn't sure how to feel knowing that she left. Should he be sad? Should he be relieved? One things for sure, he didn't have feelings for her anymore, but it almost seemed like he was empty. Gene wasn't really the one to be all that interested in romance, but he missed knowing that someone out there still loved him
Gene looked around the classroom. He noticed some of Courtney's old friends from last year, such as Rupa, Julie, etc. He wondered how they were holding out on the loss of their best friend. He'd imagined they were torn in some way. He remembered when he'd lost his only real friend, who he referred to as "Toilet" 5 years back during his childhood. It wasn't easy losing your best friend in less than a full week
Gene sat to the right of Pescadero, placing his Casio on top of his desk. Just then, a reserved female voice is heard saying "Class, class, please settle down"
The class slowly quiets itself down, facing the lady who had requested silence
"Good morning, students. I'm Ms. Ramey, your new History instructor" She greets. Ramey barely looked a day over 35. She looked so young for a teacher, maybe old enough to be a doctor, but young enough to be a model. She had short, brown hair, blue eye shadow, glossy faux nails, a skin-tight business suit, and shiny black high heels. She looked strikingly similar to Pam, the same lady on the hit Channel 13 television show, Pam's Court, and was quite a looker for a teacher, if I do say so myself. The classroom seemed really satisfied with this new teacher, especially the boys
"Now, as your teacher, I will be expecting every single student in this room's best effort put into all their assignments. I will not tolerate any underachievers in my classroom. I believe every single one of you in this room have amazing potential, even though others don't chose to use it as often" Ms. Ramey explains, as she paces back and forth in front of the room with her arms behind her back like an army general
"What do you think about her?" Gene whispers over to Peter
"I guess she seems like a nice teacher. Though, you can never be too sure with the nice ones" He replies, also whispering "What about you?"
"I'm not sure, but I did hear people like to call her Mssss, with 4 s's, since she's been divorced 4 times!" Gene responds, in a louder whisper
Peter quietly titters at Gene's joke "Heh heh! That's hilarious!"
"Trust me, It isn't easy getting past me" Ramey rambles on "I've been teaching at this school for more than 5 years, so I'd know a thing or two about-"
Though, her "inviting" lecture is cut short by the classroom door opening. Once the door was fully ajar, behind it was what any sensible person would assume a classmate. Only, no one had seen this girl before, ever, and the class grew ever so silent at the sight of her
She has a somewhat timid and uncomfortable facial expression and a really silent voice. She doesn't speak for a while, and merely stands in place nervously, but when she finally speaks up, she says "Please excuse me... I just had some trouble finding the classroom, and-"
"That's perfectly fine, dear. You are new to this school, after all" Ms. Ramey replies with a smile at the girl, who shoots her a nervous grin back "Getting acquainted to a new school can take a while, and you just take as you need to learn the basics. Your tardy is excused"
Ms. Ramey flips through her attendance list "Oh! There you are! Class, I'd like you to meet Dakota Newman, our brand new student!"
Dakota wasn't too tall. In fact, she didn't look any taller than 5'6. She had medium length dirty blonde hair, and wore a black and white striped short sleeved shirt, faded jeans, and black Converse
"Tell us a little bit about yourself, Dakota, if you don't mind" Ms. Ramey politely asks. The whole class shoots her an inviting grin from their seats
Dakota stands there silently, with her hands behind her back, not saying a single word. It almost looked like she was trying to say something, but she was merely mumbling. The class looked at each other, confused
"Is she talking? Or just mouth breathing?" Gene asks Peter, who just shrugs at his query
After a few more seconds of utter silence, Ms. Ramey decides to fill in for her "Er.. Well.. Dakota isn't from here, aren't you Dakota?"
Dakota softly nods
"I believe you said you used to live in Virginia, and you just moved over here this summer! Well, we'll make you feel right at home here with us!" She says, placing her hands on the young girl's shoulder "Hm, there should be a place for you to sit..." Ramey says, as she carefully scans the classroom, but before she could finish her examination, she is interrupted
"Hey! She can sit over here!" Gene signals, pointing over to the desk to his right
"That's a very kind gesture. Gene Belcher, is it?" Ramey asks the student of great stature
"Yes! That's me!" Gene clarifies
"Oh! You must be Tina Belcher's younger brother!" Ms. Ramey says
"Yup!"
"Well, go on, don't be shy" Ms. Ramey urges the new student. She hesitates at first, but Dakota slowly makes her way to the seat and sits down, looking to the floor
"And now that that's situated, let's continue where we were, now shall we?" Ms. Ramey says, placing her arms back behind her back and resumed her pacing "As I was saying..."
As Ms. Ramey resumes her lecture, most students had already lost interest. Was this all History class was going to be? Hearing the teacher flap her mouth about "disciplinary actions" and "respectful characters"? That was the guidance counselors job
While Gene was busy playing with his fingers, minding his own business, Peter tapped him on his shoulder
"Hey, Gene. What do you think about the new kid?" Peter asks him "She's a bit quiet. I couldn't hear a word she said up there"
"Ditto!" Gene replies. He'd never seen someone of such a timid nature "Maybe she's just nervous, leave that to me!" Peter wasn't so sure what he meant by "leave it to me", but knowing Gene, it probably wasn't going to end well
"Psst! Psst!" Gene repeats to the girl, but she didn't seem to hear him "Hey! Psst!" He still didn't have her attention
That's when Gene crumbles up a small piece of paper, creating a miniature paper ball, barely the size of his top phalange, and chucks it at her
This finally caught her attention, and she glares at him. Not necessarily in a mean way, but with a slightly confused look "Hm?" She says quietly
"Hi there!" Gene greets with a smile
"Oh, hello.." She replies, avoiding eye contact
"So, new school, huh?"
"Erm... Yeah..."
"That's cool, I've never switched schools before! Is it similar to switching planets?"
Dakota smiles, I guess she hadn't known Gene long enough to realize he wasn't joking
"Well, I wouldn't be sure..." She replies, still grinning. This was probably the longest conversation she'd had with anyone in this state, besides her family. She wasn't exactly a social butterfly
"So, what's your name, again?" Gene asks
"I'm... Dakota. Like the city" She greets
"Hi there, Dakota! I'm Gene, like the Wilder!" Gene jokes, causing Dakota to let out a small, silent giggle
"Hehe, you're funny..." She says, keeping her quiet tone
"Wow, I didn't even get my real jokes out yet!" Gene says "I'd tell you them, but I happened to have left my joke book at home, all 6 volumes"
Dakota grins at him again. Maybe it was just the fact that she was new here and usually easily impressed, but Gene was the funniest person she had met
Tina
Tina was now running around the hallway, searching desperately her lost flame "Jimmy Jr? Jimmy Jr, where are you?" She repeatedly turned people over, hoping one of her suspects would be him, Jimmy Junior "Pesto" Poplopovich. Jeez, that's a mouthful
"Jimmy Jr? It's me, your kind of, off-and-on, 'it's complicated-ish' girlfriend, Tina" She rambles, running around the hallway like a headless chicken. She searched far and wide, but had no such luck locating him. Frustrated, Tina let out a loud, menacing screech, though, due to her monotonous nature, it sounded more like a silent groan than a screech
"Hey, Tina" says an almost equally monotone voice
Tina turns around, and faces the same chess-loving dork from middle school, Henry Haber. He still wore thick glasses and grew drastically in stature, just like Gene. He wore a green argyle sweater vest over a nicely-ironed, white dress shirt, khakis, and brown shoes
"Not now, Henry" Tina says, scrounging around
"I just happened to hear you were looking for Jimmy Jr" Henry Haber says
Tina turns to look at him "Go on"
Haber points forward "He's right over there"
Tina looks at his direction and gasps. Sure enough, it was Jimmy Jr, not too far from her. All she could see was him from behind, but knowing Tina's extreme fixation with rear ends, it didn't bother her the least "Jimmy Jr!" She screams, as she walks closer to him. But before Tina reached 4 ft from him...
RING!
The school bell rings, and all the students head for their respective classrooms, including Jimmy Jr
Tina gasps, and collapses to the floor "Ugggghhhh" She moans, as students pass her to go to their classrooms "I was so close... Yet, so far.."
Still on the ground, Tina reads over her schedule to see her new homeroom "Mrs. Carpenter for Math... Wait a second.." She tries to remember back to which class Jimmy Jr had headed to. Wasn't it... Room 215? She looks back down at her schedule, and sure enough, homeroom was in 215 "Yes" She grins, as she runs off to class
When Tina made it to the door, she was immediately met with the back of an unsuspecting Jimmy Jr. Her first instinct was to go for the kill, girl style
She tackled him over to the ground "Jimmy Jr!"
"Woah!" He exclaims, as he fell "What the hell?!" He turns himself over and faces Tina "Tina?!"
"Oh, hey Jimmy Jr" She nonchalantly greets "I definitely wasn't going on a crazy rampage this entire morning looking for you"
"Um..." Jimmy Jr murmurs "Tina, if you wouldn't mind, could you please get off me?" He asks, in his usual lisp
"Oh, of course" Tina says, as she obliges his request, getting up and facing him "Let's start over. Hi, Jimmy Jr"
"Uh... Hi Tina"
"I definitely wasn't going on a crazy rampage-"
"Yeah, we sort of already established that"
"Oh, right. Let me start over-"
"Tina, what is it?"
Anyone would easily suspect Tina's infatuation with Jimmy Jr was mere puppy love, seeing as she was an adolescent ascending into puberty, but 5 years? Really? You'd expect her to let go by now, or, if anything, you'd expect them to at least be together by now, but Tina's timidness didn't make it any easier for her to confess her love to him. Their relationship had been somewhat on-and-off, seeing as one day they'd be kissing and the next they'd act as if nothing happened. Speaking of which, what did Tina really see in him, in general? He wasn't exactly the most charming young man as a kid. With his noticeable speech impediment and obvious lack of intelligence. Though, anyone would admit he had quite the looks now. Jimmy Junior wore a grey, sleeveless hoodie, sagging, torn jeans, and black sneakers. He also wore red headphones around his neck. He was still a dancer, and no one saw him quitting anytime soon
"Well" Tina began, already extremely flustered "How was summer? Did you- random, out-of-the-blue question by the way, did you happen to spend it with someone near and close to you, that isn't related to you in any way and is probably female"
Jimmy Jr looked at her, perplexed "Like, a girlfriend? Are you asking if I have a girlfriend?"
"If you wanna put it that way" Tina says, shrugging
"Uh, no" Jimmy Jr replies awkwardly
"Oh, that's tragic" Tina flatly says "Anyways bye" She turns to leave him alone, leaving Jimmy Jr in a confused messed "What the-..."
"Yes!" Tina says with a triumphant fist pump "Jimmy Jr is single and ready to mingle, hopefully with me in the coming future" Now that that 5 ton weight was finally removed from her shoulder, she could carry on with her day as usual with her first objective: find a seat
This was no easy task, once you sat somewhere, you were stuck there for life. Or, well, until the teacher moves you
"Hm, let's look at our choices" Tina says to herself, examining the possible options, as she walked through the class
The first classmates she came across were Tammy Larsen and Jocelyn, possibly the most popular girls in Wagstaff history
"And, so I was like, 'That isn't a dress, it's a sack of potatoes'!" Tammy rambles, laughing. She catches a glimpse at her friend, who she's telling the story to, and from the looks of it, Jocelyn was too busy doing her nails to be paying attention "JOCELYN!" Tammy yells, startling her
"Ah!" Jocelyn yelps in shock "What? What is it?"
"What the hell! Were you even listening to my story?!" Tammy complains
"Wait, you were telling a story?" Jocelyn asks
"Ugh! My god, Jocelyn! You're so stupid sometimes!" Tammy yells
Jocelyn scoffs "Well, I'm sorry, Tammy!" She says
"Can it, I don't wanna hear it, since you obviously don't wanna hear me!" Tammy barked, placing her hand in front of Jocelyn and looking away
Tammy's physical appearance mostly reflected her personality, devious and scandalous. She had a glossy pixie cut with bangs dyed electric blue and wore buckets of makeup and jewelry. She wore a black tube top, a silver belly button ring, cut offs, and ankle strap sandals, and let's be honest, at least something on her body was fake
Jocelyn's fashion taste was slightly more modest. She wore a frilly sea green tank top, dark jeggings, bangle bracelets, and tennis shoes. She wore now wore her hair in a French braid, along with a yellow scarf, worn like a head band
Tina makes her way towards the two "Oh, hi Tammy. Hi Jocelyn"
"Ugh, it's Belcher" Tammy says, disgusted "What do you want?"
"Oh, nothing. Just saying hi" Tina innocently replies
"Sorry, Tina. I think you're in the wrong place. The loser department's that way!" Jocelyn retorts, pointing where Tammy was sitting
"Jocelyn! This is where I'm sitting! You're supposed to point the other way, you idiot!" Tammy shrieks
"Oh wait, I think I did that wrong" Jocelyn says, pulling back her finger
"Well, I'll just be on my way now" Tina says, walking away. Still on her quest to find a seat, she runs into Jimmy Jr again, except now, with his best friend
"Hey, Zeke! Watch this!" Jimmy Jr exclaims, as he pulls his hands into his hoodie, and begins moving them outward, as if something was trying to escape his body
"Ha! Looks like an alien creatures tryin' to bust outta there!" Zeke cackled, and so did Jimmy Jr
Tina approaches the two "Hey Jimmy Jr" She says, grinning "Zeke" She says flatly, with a somewhat agitated voice, like she always did. Tina was never to keen on Zeke, seeing as he spent way too much time with Jimmy Jr
"Oh, hey again, Tina.." Jimmy Jr replies, looking away
"Hey, T!" Zeke blurts "Show 'er, J-Ju!"
"Ok!" Jimmy Jr says, as he repeats what he was doing, causing the two boys to laugh again
Zeke was quite a bloomer. Unlike Gene's mere soul patch, he had a nearly full grown beard. His hair was still mildly unkept, and he now wore a wife beater and cargo shorts
Tina continues moving, she'd wanted to sit with Jimmy Jr, but there was a 99.9% chance he would be sitting next to Zeke, which would completely ruin the experience. There wasn't much time, let alone much people left to chose from. While walking, Tina passes by Darryl, a good friend of her and her siblings
"Oh, hey there, Tina!" Darryl greets
"Hi, Darryl" Tina replies
Darryl went from being half the size of all the girls to nearly twice their size. He still wore glasses and was a bit "zit-faced" here and there, but that was probably just the pubescent changes. He wore a green shirt with a design resembling the Triforce from The Legend of Zelda, jeans, and black shoes
"So how was your summer?" Darryl asks, as Tina begins to sit down in the seat next to him
Before she could properly answer, the classroom suddenly grew silent at the sound of the door creaking open, yet no one seemed to be behind it
"Who did that?" Jimmy Jr asks, alarmed
"Woah! I bet it was a ghost!" Zeke exclaims, nudging JJ
"A ghost?! AHH!" Tammy shrieks, which causes an uproar of screams from other students
"AHH!" Jocelyn yells "Wait, what are we screaming about again?"
Fortunately, it wasn't a ghost, but their new teacher. She walked through the door slowly and sluggishly. She had her back hunched over with a mopey expression, like she wanted to die. For what seemed like forever, she finally managed to make it to the front of the class, and maintaining her drowsy facial expression, she began to speak, veeeeery slooooowly
"Good morning, students" She began "My name is Mrs. Carpenter. I will be your new Math teacher for the 12th grade. This is a start of a new life, and before you know it, you'll all be attending a university and making a future. Yay" She says very unenthusiastically
"Oh my gosh, she sounds so boring" Jocelyn whispers to Tammy "And she looks like she doesn't even care"
"That's great. Just means she won't care about what we do, and we can get away with anything" Tammy smirks
Mrs. Carpenter had short brunette hair in a messy bun, hoop earrings, a white v-neck shirt, grey sweatpants, and slippers. She looked like she had just got out of bed 5 minutes ago
"As your teacher, I'm legally qualified to give you this lecture at the beginning of the year, so let's not waste anymore time" She said, keeping her flat tone
"Wow, it looks like she's really passionate about her job" Tina says, facing the teacher
"Was that sarcasm?" Darryl asks
"No. Why would it be?" Tina queries
"Just asking. With your tone of voice, you can never be sure" Darryl admits, shrugging
Carpenter's lecture was so bland and unentertaining, all of words just seemed to fade out of people's attention spans
"Should I be taking notes?" Tina asks Darryl
"What? No! Why would you be?" Darryl questions. It seemed like the two were just throwing questions back and forth at this point
"I don't know, I just figured this was part of the lesson" Tina says
"Ugh, Tina! Can you please shut it? I'm trying to not pay attention here!" Tammy growls at her
"Yeah, Tina!" Jocelyn adds
"Sorry, Tammy, but I don't remember talking to you just now" Tina shoots back with an irritated glance
"Ooh, she has a point Tam" Jocelyn says
"Jocelyn! What the hell?! You're supposed to be on my side, you air head!" Tammy yells
"Wait, we're on sides? We aren't playing any sports" Jocelyn says, oblivious to what Tammy was referring to
"I mean sides in the fight!" Tammy impatiently yells
"Fight? What, are we wrestlin' now?" Zeke bellows "Come on, J-Ju! 1 on 1!" And before they knew it, the two were going at it right there on the ground like little boys
Surprisingly, Mrs. Carpenter seemed completely unfazed by all the commotion, she just stopped her lecture right there "Meh, I'm too lazy to go on with this. Free period, I guess" She says, falling to sleep immediately on her chair
Well the class went ballistic right after that. Hell, could you even call it class anymore? Kids were screaming, playing, wrestling (in Zeke and Jimmy Jr's case, at least), and just going crazy. Probably everyone but Tina
"Hm, today's class was awfully strange" She says to herself "Maybe tomorrow will be a bit more organized. But for now..." She then pulls out her erotic friend fiction, and starts writing in it. You'd expect her to be more private with these sort of things, but seeing as she read it to the whole school that one time, she couldn't care less anymore
About 7 hours later, school was over, and it was time for all the kids to return home. Tina and Gene met in front of the school so they could depart together
"So, how was your first day?" Gene asks his sister
"Interesting. Very interesting" Tina says "It's nice having new teachers each year, it just means more friend fiction ships. How about you?"
"It was nice, and so was the teacher! In personality, and looks! Rowr!" Gene says with a wink "Also, we've got a new student in homeroom! Her name's Dakota, and she's really quiet!"
"Oh, she sounds nice" Tina says, smiling "Hey, have you seen Louise by any chance?"
"Oh, right! She wanted me to tell you that she got detention" Gene says
Just then, they hear loud thumping. It sounded like it was coming from inside a room. They walk towards the sound, and end up in front of the detention room's door. Sure enough, it was Louise banging on it
"GET ME OUT OF HERE!" She screams, though her speech was slightly muffled due to the separation
Both of her siblings were unaware to what she was trying to say, so they just waved, smiled, and left the building
"I'm not saying 'hi' you idiots! GET ME OUT OF HERE!" Louise yells a second time, banging the door even harder
"Louise! Zip your lips and sit back in your seat, or I'll add another 2 hours!" Mr. Frond commands, and Louise reluctantly obliges
"I'll get you back for this, Frond..." Louise quietly says to herself, demonically glaring at the guidance counselor
Thanks for reading, and I hope you guys enjoyed the chapter! :)
