Hey, guys, guess what? I got chapter 2 done early! ^_^
I was really on a roll when I did chapter 1, so I figured I'd get 2 out of the way as well.
Enjoy!

Chapter 2: A Typical Day (Or Maybe it's Not…)
Earl slipped into the school doors and almost immediately ran into Lana. "Oh, hey. Mimi here yet?"
Lana sighed and shook her head. "No, the bus is late… I swear that woman drinks."
Earl let out a laugh. "The school needs to fire her ass…" He felt a glare on him and turned. "W-What?"
"Language, mister." Lana eyed him. He sighed and looked toward the doors.
"This is a free country"
"Well, I don't like hearing it, and neither does Mimi."
They heard a sweet voice behind them. "'Neither do I' what, Lana?" They both turned around and Earl blushed slightly.
"Earl said a bad word." Lana smirked at Earl, knowing she was bothering the greenette.
Mimi frowned and looked over at him. "Oh, Earl…"
"W-What? Don't give me the look! Just 'cause you're a churchgoer doesn't mean I am. And besides, other people say tons of worse crap."
"And they get told off by teachers!" Mimi's voice almost bit him with how harsh it was.
He sighed and the bell rang for homeroom. He walked off without another word, his face downcast. Mimi looked down at her feet. "…Do you think I was a little too hard on him? That IS just the way he works…"
Lana pats her back. "Nah. But if you feel bad, you could always go apologize. Do it 1st period! He IS in your science class."
"…I guess… Come on, we're gonna be late." The two girls smiled and walked to their homeroom to begin their Thursday. They were completely oblivious to the boy watching them both, observing their personalities.
"So… She's a church bitch. Alright, then. I guess I'll have to be a good boy for now. She DOES have a nice body, so I guess it's worth it." Lucas scoffed and smirked at the thought of being anything but angry and hateful. "Jeez… The things I do to get some."
He flipped his blue bangs backwards and walked into the bathroom. He stopped at a mirror and took in his appearance. A dirty wife-beater under a tan patched up hoodie, complete with ripped and worn jeans. "…I better be REALLY good for this bitch. These're all the clothes I got… Thanks a lot, 'parents…' Anyway…" He attempted to scrub a stain off his clothes and brushed his hair out with his fingers. "Maybe I could tell her I'm a Christian who has no parents… She'd probably buy that."
He left the bathroom and walked to his homeroom. 'How to get her to notice me… Maybe I'll start helping people. That'd work. Hehehe… I bet she's tight. Church bitches are always virgins.' He sat in his desk with his feet propped up and waited for the day to begin.
"So anyway… I'm really sorry I snapped at you, Earl."
"Ah… What kinda friend would I be if I didn't forgive you?" Earl flashed a smile at her and pulled her into a friendly hug. 'If this is all I can do to show her I love her… Then I have no chance.' He hid his disappointment in a smile and let her go. "Now… Class is about to start. Go sit your butt down."
They both laughed and she walked to her seat as a woman teacher walked into the door. She wore a slightly pink-tinted dress. The shoulders had a circle emblem on them, and dark pink stripes ran down parts of the flowing garment. She smiled at them all.
"Good morning, class. I hope you're ready for the test today." A groan erupted from the room, save for Mimi, who sat in her seat smiling and waiting for the test. 'I can do this… I have God behind me.' Ms. Palkia began passing out the test. Earl stared blankly at his paper. '…I forgot to study… I was so tired from fencing… Damn it!' He sighed and they all began answering the questions as best as they could.
By the time he had finally finished, it was the end of the period. He watched the clock tick as she collected the tests, smiling especially brightly at Mimi, who was confident she'd get yet another A. The bell sounded, and everyone except her and Earl bolted out of the classroom. They calmly waked next door and Lana speed-walked from the Math room. She looked almost panicked.
"L-Lana, hon, what's wrong?"
"You look like you've seen a ghost… Or Mr. Raan naked…"
They all shuddered and Lana shook her head. "N-No, it's that Lucas kid… He actually DID class work! A-And he helped a student out! He's NEVER done either of those things before! Something's up!"
Mimi smiled. "I'm glad for him. He must've found faith and purpose, and he's trying to make up for his wrongdoings by being a good person. Ah, I'm so happy for him!"
They sighed and smiled at her before looking at Lucas as he walked out of the classroom. He flashed a smile and waved at Mimi and Lana before heading to his next period. They stared, Mimi with a slight pink tinge to her round cheeks. 'He's… Very cute…' "Mimi…? Mimi!" Earl snapped his fingers and awoke the brunette from her trance.
"H-Huh? Oh, sorry. I was… Thinking…"

Things are finally going to start moving along now, so if the story was too slow for you before now, fear not. All is well. Stick around for the next chapter, and R&R!
Peace out, yo!
