Lincoln Loud, now at the age of 15, his hair now covered his ears, he now also wore an orange button-up shirt which was always left unbuttoned, a white long-sleeved shirt underneath, and a pair of dark blue jeans. He was currently just lying on his bed in his room, which was once Lily and Lisa's room. The room was repainted, the walls were now a dark orange, he had a queen-size bed, which rested on top of a dark wooden frame, the sheets were white, and his pillowcases were also white, on the opposite side of his room was his dresser and near the door was a small black desk with his computer, Ipad, and sketchbooks. He also had a small table that had a medium-sized tv so he could play games and watch some anime or shows.
Today was one of those days.
He had absolutely nothing to do today and he hated it.
Don't believe it?
His mom and Dad had left to go visit Luan at Her College, Lynn was out with her group of friends getting ready for another baseball game, Lucy was out with the morticians club, Lola was hanging out with her friends at the Mall, Lana was out with her friends looking for a car to fix up, Lisa was currently locked up in her room doing experiments, while Lily was currently out riding her bike. Meanwhile, Clyde was on a date with Penelope, Zach was on a trip with his family, Rusty was at a game convention, Liam was currently out of state visiting some of his relatives, and Stella was with her parent's shopping.
Right now, he had nothing to do, which frustrated him to no end. It was days like this that frustrated him. Days where even watching videos became boring, even picking up a comic to read had become a bit bland, despite his love for comics, he just couldn't pick up a comic book and read on days where he literally had nothing to do.
Lincoln sighed, "Might as well go for a walk" Lincoln muttered to himself.
He got up off his bed and put on his sneakers and grabbed his phone and then headed downstairs and then out of the house. Lincoln didn't have any place in mind, it was just a walk, something to do to not go crazy from doing nothing.
As he got outside and the fresh air hit him and a small breeze passed by and he could feel it on his face. He smiled a little and walked away from his porch and just started walking to the right on the sidewalk. As he walked he couldn't help but let his mind wander. It had been three months since he talked to Ronnie Anne, which was weird, but then again, Highschool was rough, being an adult was only a few years away.
Still, Lincoln was happy as he could be with everything. It was also days like this where he could enjoy the simplest things. The wind in the trees, the singing of birds, the warm feeling of the sun, and-
"Watch out!"
Lincoln was then knocked to the ground and he could feel something or someone else atop of him. He felt the rough and hard sidewalk make contact with his side. Luckily he wasn't hurt that bad, it was just a fall after all, but he regained his senses and he sat up and looked to see the person who had crashed into him. To his surprise, it wasn't one person that crashed into him, it was three.
Lying and sitting there was Polly Pain, Tabby Rockwell, and Grace Bundy or Giggles as people knew her by her stage name.
"Sorry about that guys," Polly said as she shook her head
Polly wore a yellow long-sleeved shirt with a pair of Purple jean shorts, she'd wore dark pink shoes with black laces with a pair of white socks, and she had a dark pink sweater tied around her waist.
"Bloody 'Ell that hurt!" Tabby cried as she held her head
Tabby wore a black jean vest over a Black Sabbath Crop-Top that showed off her toned midriff, she wore long tight ripped jean pants and a pair of black calf-high boots. Tabby's hair looked a bit longer, though still the same style, she also had a few piercings, one above her left eye and one in her tongue.
"Is anyone else seeing these birds or is that just me?" Grace asked as she lied on the pavement
Grace was not wearing her clown uniform and was instead currently wearing a dark and light blue striped shirt, with a dark green sweater vest over it, a pair of light blue jeans, and a pair of sneakers. Her Hair was still in curly pigtails, which still looked really good on her.
"You guys ok?" Lincoln asked
Each of the three girls stopped what they were doing and then turned their heads in Lincoln's direction.
"Hey mate! Long Time no see" Tabby greeted
"Hi Lincoln" Grace greeted with a smile
"Sup Linc," Polly greeted with an embarrassed smile, "Sorry about that, by the way," She said
"all good, no one's hurt that's all that matters," Lincoln said
He held out his hand for Polly and she took it and with his help, she was back on her feet and he then helped the other two up as well.
"So what was that about?" Lincoln asked
"Trust me, you wouldn't believe it," Grace said
Lincoln just smiled, "So, what are you three doing?"
"Eh, I and the gals were just goin for a walk," Tabby said "What 'bout you?" Tabby asked
"Same actually"
"Oh, wanna join us then?" Grace asked "We were actually just about to head to the arcade"
Lincoln thought about it, however, the decision wasn't really hard to make, he had nothing to do after all. "Sure why not," He said
"Sweet! Let's get going then!" Grace said
Polly smiled and the four began to walk to the Arcade. As they walked, Tabby and Grace had begun to talk about the newest show on TV, Lincoln listened in before turning his head to Polly. Truth be told, when he looked at her, she kind of seemed out of it. She looked tired like she was just done with something. Lincoln's brain then brought up another topic, he actually hasn't seen Polly in awhile.
He'd seen Grace a lot because he had three classes with her, and Tabby had the last class with Lincoln, so she sometimes talked to each other. However, he really hasn't seen that much of Polly, sure a few glimpses of her at school, but he never saw her with Lynn or Margo anymore, which was odd, in fact, Lynn hadn't even talked or mentioned Polly at all anymore.
"Hey Polly" he called
Polly seemed to snap out of her daze and looked to Lincoln, "What's up?" She asked
"you ok, you kinda seemed out of it," Lincoln said
Polly just smiled softly, "yeah I'm fine" She replied "I just got a few things on my mind"
'Oh No' Lincoln thought, 'she used the word'
Living with 10 sisters, Lincoln knew that the word "Fine" didn't mean what it was supposed to mean. It always meant that they were having trouble with something or they were dealing with something that they didn't want to bother people with, fearing that people would criticize them.
Something had to be going on with Polly, he could just feel it.
'But what?' Lincoln asked himself
Finally, the four had made it to the Arcade and got their tokens and spread out to play games. Currently, Lincoln and the others were watching Tabby play Guitar Hero, while she was in the middle of playing Grace headed off to play some of the old fighting games with the joysticks and the buttons, and Eventually, each of them kind of split up and did their own things for a little while. Lincoln was currently of course at the dancing game, he danced and danced and smiled because of how much fun he was actually having. They continued to play games and even, grabbed a bit to eat before resuming playing, however, Lincoln couldn't help but notice how Polly acted, sure she smiled and laughed, but to him, he could tell it was an act. When Living with 10 girls, you tend to pick up on small details about how other people act.

Eventually, it was 8:00 at night and the others were on their way home.
"Well, it was fun while it lasted," Grace said "I'll see you guys some other time!" he said as she walked off in the direction of her home
"See ya around!" Tabby said as she too ran in the direction of where she lived.
"Well I guess I better get going, Nice running into you Linc" Polly said
"Actually, Polly, I was wondering if I could walk you home if that's ok I mean," Lincoln said
Polly was a bit surprised by his request, but she nodded and agreed to have Lincoln walk with her home. Lincoln smiled a little and walked next to her. As they walked, it was at first very quiet. Lincoln looked at Polly and saw the same look he saw in her while they were walking to the Arcade. That tired look one would have after a long drive somewhere or the look of just being genuinely unhappy just being at a certain place. They were near the park and according to Polly, still a bit away from her house, She told Lincoln he could just go home before he was late, but he insisted to talk her home, however, Lincoln decided that it was the best time to ask her about why she had been looking so out of it.
"Polly, is something bothering you?" Lincoln asked
Polly looked at him, "No" She replied
Lincoln sighed, "That's not true Polly, I can tell somethings up," Lincoln told her "Come one you can trust me"
Polly looked at him and she then stopped walking. Lincoln stopped just as she stopped and Polly closed her eyes and took in a deep breath that seemed a bit shakey, but she exhaled and looked back to Lincoln
"Have you ever felt alone?" Polly asked
Lincoln heard her question and he thought about it. Yes, there were times he felt alone, and not in the sense of he didn't have anyone to hang out with or to talk to, he felt alone in the sense that no one could understand him, he even felt alone when he was surrounded by people he loved, he assumed this is what Polly meant when she asked. However, despite such a feeling, he could always turn to his sisters or to Clyde, and that truly helped him feel less alone. For Polly to feel such a way for god knows how long, she must have felt so alone that she couldn't even talk to her family or her friends.
"Yeah, I have," Lincoln said "but for me... that feeling of loneliness goes away after a while because-"
"Because you have something to make that feeling go away, right?" She asked
Lincoln looked at her and nodded. She was right, he had his friends, his family, his hobbies to fill that hole in him, but for Polly...
"Do you?" Lincoln asked
Polly sighed sadly, "I don't," Polly said "Not anymore"
"What about rollerblading? Or Sports?"
"There was a time where it did, but not anymore... that's why I quit sports, it just didn't fill that hole inside of me anymore... now, I have nothing," Polly said
Lincoln then slowly realized something, "Is that why you were hanging out with Tabby and Grace today?" Lincoln asked
"Yes..." Polly asked "there was a part of me that wanted to hang out with them, they're my best friends, but I still... I still couldn't feel so alone"
Lincoln walked over to her and did the one thing he could think of at the moment. Sure, it might not help her, but it was all he could think about doing, knowing that words wouldn't work. He wrapped his arms around Polly and Hugged her tightly. Polly felt Lincoln's arms wrap around her for some reason, she could feel something inside her clicked. Her Body suddenly became hot, her heart beat faster.
She broke the hug a little and Looked at Lincoln who looked back at her. Lincoln saw that she was in some type of daze
"Polly?" he called "Are you ok?"
However, she didn't answer him with words, but she crashed her lips into his. Lincoln was taken aback, the kiss itself was of course not full of passion but full of hunger and desire, and due to his own hormones, Lincoln slowly melted into the kiss as well. The kiss became sloppy and rough, both slipping tongue and wrestling inside each other's mouth.
Eventually, Polly's hands roamed Lincoln's body and her hands made it to his jeans, however, Lincoln quickly stopped her.
"P-Polly, I think we should stop before we make a big mistake," Lincoln told her
Polly knew he was right, despite her body feeling so hot and her head almost completely clouded with thoughts of skin to skin contact, she back from the kiss and looked at Lincoln, "I-I'm sorry" She told him "I-I better get going!" She cried as she sprinted off
"Polly wait!" Lincoln cried
However, she was already running off to her home, and Lincoln was left in the dark, looking a bit disheveled and feeling horny and confused. Things had just become very complicated between him and Polly, and he didn't know what would happen next...
