Note: there will be time skips in this story to speed things up. I will update this story as often as I can, so please be patient. Here's the second chapter, where things begin to take a turn for the worse for Luan.
Chapter 2: School Trouble
Monday, 7:30 A.M.
Beep! Beep! Beep! Luan hit the snooze button on her alarm clock then yawned and stretched. She got out of bed and got dressed for the day. Then, she grabbed her bag and her love letter for Benny. 'I can't wait to give this to him' Luan thought to herself, even though she felt nervous. She left her room and stood in line behind Leni and Luna. "Goodmornin' sis," Luna greeted her. "Goodmorning, Luna," Luan responded. Lori exited the bathroom and Leni went inside, then Luna, and finally Luan. Luan brushed her teeth, washed her face, did her hair, then went downstairs for breakfast. She thought about what Benny would think of her letter as she ate her eggs. As soon as everybody was finished, they piled into Vanzilla and left for school. Lincoln, Lucy, Lana, Lola, and Lisa were the first to be dropped off, Lynn was second, and finally Lori, Leni, Luna, and Luan were dropped off. "Alright, we're finally here, everybody get out," Lori said while pulling the keys from the ignition. As soon as everyone got out of Vanzilla, they joined their friends next to the front door, well, except for Luan, who wandered off to find Benny. She finally stopped and there he was, the brown haired, fair skinned comedian, who was reading a comedy book, iFunny. Luan watched from a distance, she admired the way Benny smiled and his laugh sounded like music to her ears. She really couldn't help the way she felt for him. She fingered the piece of paper in her bag. Rrrriiiiiing! Luan gathered her things and left for first period class, which was math. Luan hated math because other girls mocked her in that class. She did her best to ignore it, but it kept happening. But she was also glad because there were about 2 weeks left until summer break. "Alright class, please turn the page to 69," said Mr. Dunham the teacher, he was a middle aged man with dark hair, green eyes, and a brown suit. "Today, we're gong to continue our last section. This will be on your test in a few weeks." Everybody except Luan got out their books, which got her yelled at. "Miss Loud," Mr. Dunham yelled, "please take out your book and turn to page 69," Luan didn't hesitate to get her book out, and when she finally did, two girls sitting behind her giggled at her and began whispering. "Psst," said one girl, who had blonde hair, blue eyes, and wore a pink shirt with a blue skirt, "looks like beaver girl's in trouble," the other girl giggled. She had dark hair, brown eyes, and wore a red dress. "Yeah, I'd be ashamed if I were her," The teacher took notice of this and said, "Ladies, if you wanna talk about something, tell the whole class," The girls sat silently. "that's what I thought," he continued. Then, he turned to the board and wrote a complicated math problem. "X÷Y=112, you have 5 minutes to solve this." Wow, Luan though to herself, this seems complicated. "Remember, if anyone struggles, I'll put you in groups and you can work together on this," said Mr. Dunham. He turned to Luan. "Miss Loud, I want you to work with Billie and Mandy," the two girls behind her rolled their eyes at having to work with Luan. Luan turned around to face the two, who obviously displayed no interest in working with her. "1 thing 2 say," Luan said, "3 can work together to solve problem 4," the blonde girl, Mandy, responded with, "In a social graph, you're an isolated vertex!" she and Billie began to laugh, but Luan felt offended. "I didn't mean 2 say that!" she said, trying to lighten her mood. Mr. Dunham snapped at the three girls, "Now girls, you're supposed to be working together, not talking about each other! If I hear that again you're all headed to the principal's office!" Billie, Mandy, and Luan all stopped with the insults and worked until the end of class. Rrriiiiiing! Luan put her backpack on and headed to the door. Little did she know Billie and Mandy stood outside the door and Mandy extended her foot for Luan to trip over. "Whoops, oof!" Luan said as she tripped and fell. Everybody walking by laughed at her and someone said, "Ha! Now that's funny!" and someone else replied, "Yeah, that gopher deserved it! She's so annoying with her jokes!" Luan's eyes began to sting and anger and pain filled her. Rriiiiing! 'Shit, the tardy bell! Luan got up and ran to her next class, which was history. She didn't care much for history class. It was mostly just a bunch of boring stuff that she didn't want to know about. After all, she was a comedian, not a historian. She sat down in her usual spot, which was in the back of the class and next to the window. A tall, red haired woman with a long dress stood at the front of the room. "Good morning, class, I'm Mrs. Michele, Ms. Jessica's sub for today. Now, I want you all to get out your review sheets and study for the test on Friday," Luan got out her World Wars review sheet and began to study, but it was difficult for her. She remembered all of the awful comments thrown at her in the hall. Yeah, that gopher deserved it! Ha! Now that's funny! Luan felt bad, but at least she did better in school than some kids in her grade. She got A's and B's, but they got C's and D's, no wonder the cool kids always dropped out and worked at convenience stores. Rriiiiing! 'Geez, it's been 45 minutes already?' Luan though to herself as she went to her next class. After that, she went to her lunch period. She usually sat with Maggie, her good friend, but nobody else. As she went to sit at her table, she noticed that Maggie wasn't there. She felt her phone vibrate in her pocket and pulled it out, she got a text from her. Sorry, Luan, but couldn't come to school today, I'm sick. Luan sat down and texted back, Gt well an, 3. When suddenly, she heard giggling behind her. She turned and saw the kids from earlier, "Yo, did you see that gopher trip over Mandy's leg earlier?" said a tall boy. "Yeah, that was funny, but she's not," said a short boy. They both laughed and two girls joined them. "Hey, Brian," said Billie, "Hey, baby girl, we were jus' talkin' about that loser you tripped earlier. That was hilarious," said Brian. Luan couldn't believe her ears. She was funny and nobody could tell her otherwise. She stood up and shook her fists. "You wanna fight? Because I will pun-ch and joke you!" Luan laughed at her joke until she felt a fist collide with her cheek.
Luan, Mandy, and Brian sat in the principal's office, scowling at one another. "So," Principal Johnson began, "who started it?" The three students pointed at one another. "She did!" said Mandy, pointing at Luan."Nuh-uh!" argued Luan. "Silence!" shouted the principle and evrybody jumped. He looked at Brian and asked, "Well, son, who did it?" Brian looked at Luan and said "She did! I watched her!" he lied. "What?!" Luan cried. "Enough," said the principle, "Miss Loud, I expect you to sit in detention after school, no buts, ifs, or no's, got it?" Luan nodded. "Good. Now get to class!" Luan ran to seventh period class and did as she was told.
