Family of Two.
Chapter 232: Middle School and Lori.
(Royal Woods Middle School.)
Delilah walks into the school and she's feeling truly happy with herself, she sees some of the students walk down the halls and she greets them and they greet her too. She passes by the football team who all high five her and congratulate her from what had happened the other day.
Delilah even waves to the cheer leaders and then Delilah waves and high fives the members of the Royal Woods Chess and the Boxing Club. 'Well, looks like everyone here is seeing me as someone else than just the girl who has a cool mom and a mansion, they see how skilled I am now.'
Delilah then sees her best friend. Allison and with her is her boyfriend, Laurence.
The two members of the Gamer's Club see Delilah and smile. "Well, well. The Double Dare Obstacle winner is here, good to see ya Delilah" replied Allison. "Did you notice how everyone has been greeting you lately?"
Delilah smirks. "Pretty much, makes me feel like one of the popular kids, but not showing off the riches, just showing them that I am more than someone who has a mom whose super rich and has a mansion. I got skills and later, I am so stoked for being part of the karate dojo!"
"Wow! Someone is filled with tons of energy, well, we know that you can handle the whole thing. You got the skills and brains for the job" replied Laurence. "Also, when the heck is the Chess club match again?"
"The next week of this month, and on Saturday too!" said Delilah.
"Then we'll be there to support you and chances your mom will be the loudest" replied Allison.
"Yeah." This makes Delilah recall something. 'Really does remind me of my parents. They would always cheer for me at the accomplishments I went through and even if I did lost, they would still support me. I can see a lot of that in Michelle, she's so nice and the best mom I have ever had.'
'Kinda like my own mom. She would be happy for me in being with Michelle, someone who could guide me from the past I am still haunted by.'
They then make their way down the halls, then someone goes towards them and that would be their math teacher, Mr. Bolhofner. "Delilah Lewis Loud, I do hope your mother is coming to the parent teacher meeting tomorrow."
"Yeah, she is. I told her" replied Delilah.
"Good." the teacher then walks away with his coffee and he doesn't seem so happy at this moment and seems more upset.
"Dude, I am still so confused on to why the teacher would rather see your mom on Friday" said Laurence. "He always says that he has plans on that night and would rather speak to the parent on the day after the night, something isn't right here guys."
Delilah is also suspicious about this. "Yeah, same here. I can feel that something is going on with Mr. Bolhofner and it may have my mom in the mix, but what the heck is it?"
"Well, well. Looks like we're all sus about Mr. Bolhofner" said Allison. "You gonna try and see what he's hiding?"
Delilah nods. "Heck yeah, and luckily the Journalist club told me that I can try and seek the scoop on him. Since, everyone literally does not like the guy, and from what I overheard, I think he plans on something when classes begin after summer and has something to do with the shed outside of the school."
"I don't like the sound of that one." Laurence then looks to the teacher who was talking to one of the student about the unpassed assignment and this makes the boy nervously walk away. "If it were up to us, I'd vote him off the skeld because it's way too obvious that he would be the imposter."
"This isn't a video game, Laurence" said Allison. "Now, the best way to know more about what he has planned, is to try and do a steak out and we're with ya on it!"
Delilah smiles and she nods. "Alright then, let's begin when tomorrow hits, when we come to school then we begin the plan which I will make when I get home!"
Allison and Laurence clap. "Yeah!" Then they hear the bell ring and head onto their class.
Mr. Bolhofner walks towards his classroom and he looks around and sees no one is watching him and so he brings out the photo he has of Michelle, which he got from social media.
'This is it. Soon, this Friday it'll be about you and me and then we can see if we are compatible. There's no other woman who has shown me kindness than you and you truly are the one for me, Ms. Lewis Loud.'
He then goes into his classroom and he scolds two students who are late, but he didn't notice Darrel was in the hallway and saw him and the photo he had. "Oh boy, I should tell Delilah about this."
(The Loud House.)
Harriet is at the house and is watching some TV, she then hears the new telephone ring and she is about to go towards it, but the whole thing has been left as a message.
"Luna Loud, this is Katie Crest here. I am headed to the Royal Woods spring music festival and Mick Swagger is coming along as well. We're hoping to help promote the band as you guys perform and possibly mark as the first sign to fame for the rest of you when it does happen."
"I can truly see the stardom in your future and we'll be sure to bring everything we need to make it a one hit wonder! The summer tour is going to be an even greater task when you guys get there, with the folks around the country who have all seen and heard what you guys did at this Saturday's event! Bring you're A-Game, see you soon, kid."
The phone hangs up and Harriet is not pleased by this. "Luna is not gonna like this."
(Royal Woods Juvenile Detention Center.)
Lincoln and Luna, along with Lucy are talking with Lori in the meeting room. "So, how're things going on in here in juvie?" asked Lucy.
"Everything's going well." Lori then drinks her soda. Yeah, they brought her some food and drinks to enjoy. "The place seems kinda peaceful, and all the inmates here aren't acting all mean and all that stuff, but we do need to be cautious about the new comers that might be here next week."
"Some of the inmates have been let go because of good behavior and all thanks to me, but that would mean there's space in here for inmates from other parts of Michigan, and we need to be on the alert on the reason why they were in juvie and what I can do to help them."
"So, if they do show up then we gotta be ready. They might be mean and ruthless, or they might be nice and just transferred for their safety from the inmates they knew and were afraid of back from where they came from and if that does come to bear, then we'll be there to help them out."
Lincoln smiles hearing this. "That's nice of you to do Lori, and if they do cause trouble, then we know you and the others can keep them in line before they do something drastic and harsh."
"No kidding" replied Luna. She then eats her calzone. "We know one thing about Lori, and that whe it comes to keeping others in line, she can be the tough gal for the job."
Lori chuckles. "That is true, no joke there. But, I'd rather not be too strict, I don't wanna be seen as a drill sergeant when I have to tell the other inmates to behave."
They then hear whistling from the guards, as if they're pretending they didn't hear that, or know about that one.
Lincoln then looks towards Lori. "Mind telling us what the heck happened?"
Lori sighs, she knows she can't get out of this one and so she tells them what happened. "Fine, this happened on Monday, and there were three girls who were arguing over each other about hair styles and so I intervened and they got a bit upset and started a fight."
"So, when the guard showed up, I took her whistle and began to rant and be intimidating and the girls stayed silent and everything went peacefully, then I had to fix the other fights going on and then I wore some shades and pretty much… Went all drill sergeant on them."
"The madness was dealt with and the whole place was back to being peaceful and with little to know trouble and the inmates even called me ma'am, or sir and then the warden began to ask me if I actually took military training and even my cellmate asked me and things became super awkward."
They remain silent hearing that. "Wow. Nice one Lori" said Lucy. "Looks like you let out something you have learned for such a long time, and now the others can see how tough you can be."
Lori sighs. "Still doesn't make me feel any better, I mean I am glad that I took charge and helped stop the madness, but it brings back too many bad memories of who I was before and who I was before is something who I wanna change for the better."
Lincoln can tell that things are not going so well for Lori. "Lori, I know you don't wanna partake in the past you, but don't let that hinder you down. Sure, you were kinda lazy and also mean, and a bit of a hog when it came to the first born quote, but that was the past."
"Don't try and shun out all that was you, use some of the skills you have learned for a long time and incorporate it into how you can make it better for your future. The past can teach us some stuff and one of those things they teach is not making mistakes that remind us of the bad moments."
"Look past the dark memories of the past, and make better ones for the future and then you're chances of being shown that you have changed is a true path that could lead to true forgiveness and trust, because we forgive you Lori, trust is another thing, and we're also proud of how hard you're trying."
Lori smiles hearing this and she goes over and hugs her former brother. "Thanks Lincoln, that means a lot and I'll try what you said and use the past to make the future a bit better, and try not to go overboard."
Lincoln chuckles. "You're welcome Lori, you got this." They then depart from the hug and then Lori asks.
"So, anything from Leni and her encounter with the racing guy? What was his name again?"
"That racing guy is Kurt Logann, and we haven't gotten word from her yet" replied Luna. "The racer is busy and he still keeps in touch with Leni, as for Leni, well she's busy with helping Luan."
Lucy nods. "Luan needs the help, after all, she is the most unstable amongst those we have seen and her prankster side is like a demon that needs to be exercised before it goes too far."
"Leni can do it, she helped others recover and I know she can help Luan" replied Lincoln.
Lori recalls about that one, she is proud that Leni is doing her part to help her former sister from her prankster side and perhaps help guide Luan to a batter future where no one has to get hurt.
'Leni, I hope you're doing alright, and Luan, I hope you don't lose yourself and let the monster in you take over. You have such a bright future ahead of you, and you don't need to ruin it by making things as bad as they were when we were all one loud and proud.'
They all continue to talk to each other and enjoy this company, and it feels as if this is gonna be a normal thing now, like the old days of when they would have some words to talk about at their sibling and/or family meetings.
A/N: We got a big investigation that involves Delilah and her friends, Lori is going to use what other skills she had to ensure chaos doesn't unfold and Katie Crest is inbound for Royal Woods, again. Leave a review and tell me what you all think.
