Chapter 19
I decided to add chapters depending if you guys want more, well here it is!
(Monday Royal Woods Elementary Cafeteria)
Lincoln is having lunch with his friends while neighboring them is Jordan and her friends, even though they think Lincoln's friends are strange, odd or better yet losers, they decided to neighbor they're sitting arrangement every lunch as long as the guys behave and don't try to flirt (that means you rusty!), the only thing missing is a certain African-American boy who is currently sitting at the sticky table in deep sadness after what transpired, now back to the present.
"You feeling okay dude?" asked Stella who noticed Lincoln sometimes looking over at Clyde which gets everyone else's attention "You still thinking about Clyde?" asked Jordan "Yeah I guess" Lincoln replied "You feeling bad after what he did to you and you're GF?" from Zach "He was rude" answered Mollie as the other girls agree while Jordan just looks at her boyfriend then places her hand on his making him look at her "I know what you're thinking Linc, you wanna give him another chance to be you're friend right?" asked Jordan as Lincoln looks down thinking "Well you're not wrong" he answers "Wait! You wanna give Clyde a second chance to be you're friend again? After what he did?" asked rusty "Yes, Yes I do!" answers Lincoln causing both groups to look at him in shock except Jordan "Whatever you have planned, I'm with you" she answers lightening his mood as the others think "Okay Lincoln, we'll support you on this" answers Liam "IF there's one thing we know is that you're the man with the plan!" says Cookie "Thanks you guys" Lincoln says feeling greatful at all they're support and is ready to put his plan in motion.
(Time skip Hallway)
Clyde is walking down the halls depressed and filled with guilt, but he notices something was wrong "where are the other students?" as he looks around at the empty halls but then sees a locker opened and knew who it belonged to since he sees the orange hoodie 'Oh boy' he thinks to himself as he reaches his locker that neighbors Lincoln and tries to ignore him to avoid getting yelled at or worse, as he finishes getting the materials he needs for next period he closes his locker turns his head to the left "EEEP!" he cries out and notices Lincoln looking at him with a bored expression, Clyde tries to walk away until "Clyde, wait!" he stops, closes his eyes in fear and turns around as he hears footsteps approach him "Clyde, we need to talk" says Lincoln as Clyde opens his eyes and sees the guilty expression on Lincoln's face "Listen, what happened last week was completely unforgivable and stupid" he says raising his voice a little making Clyde back up one step "But what me and my sisters said may have been taking things a little too far" he answers aking Clyde confused "I speak for myself that maybe…. I should give you a second chance to be my friend again" making Clyde tear up "R-Really?" Clyde asks getting a nod from Lincoln and a smile "Clincoln Mcloud!" Clyde is about to hug Lincoln but is stopped on the forehead by Lincolns finger "Hold it there McBride!" he says as Clyde stops trying to hug him "I said you can be my friend again, but not my best friend, you still have a lot to prove until we get down that road, which means you have to accept the changes I'm going through" Lincoln explains making Clyde nervous again "Okay?" Clyde answers as he looks down "Look Clyde, you and me have been friends since kindergarten, and you've known me for that long, but you have to realize that we have to grow up sometimes, which also means there will be a lot of changes, changes you have to learn how to accept" Lincoln says reassuringly as Clyde looks up at him with a smile "I'll try Lincoln" he says as Lincoln smiles "That's good to know" Lincoln answers "Friends?" Lincoln asks "Yeah friends" as they both shake on it "So you gonna head to the arcade after school "Whoa there buddy, not so fast I'm not planning on going to the arcade today I've got something to do before Friday" Lincoln says "Okay then" answers Clyde.
After becoming friends Clyde then asks "By the way why are we the only ones in the hallway?" only getting a devious smile from Lincoln "okay guys let them through!" he calls out and soon the hallway is filled with students again "Whoa what the?" from a confused Clyde and soon notices both Lincoln and Jordan's friends wearing hard hats and leaning on janitor signs even the janitor was with them as he tilts his hat towards Lincoln "Thanks mister" Lincoln says "Anytime kid" as the janitor packs up his stuff and leaves "Welcome back to the crew Clyde" rusty says "And welcome back to the table too" Zach adds "thanks guys" Clyde responds "Just so you know both tables are neighbors" says Jordan "Thanks for the info, also I'm sorry for what I pulled last Monday, I was being a real jerk, I hope you can forgive me?" Clyde says in guilt "Hey, if my man can forgive you, then I guess I can too" she answers as Clyde smiles "Thanks there Love" Lincoln says kissing her cheek making her blush "It's gonna take a long while for me to get used to all this" says Clyde and then they all hear the bell ring "Well time for class" says Sadie as they all depart to their classes.
(Time skip after school)
Lincoln waves goodbye to his friends as he drives off in vanzilla "So what happened today bro?" asked Luna "Well where do is start" as he explains the whole situation "So you're Best friends with Clyde again?" asked Lucy "Friends! I didn't say we'd be best friends again!" he replies "so what does that mean for us and mostly me?" asked Lori "Well after class I laid down some ground rules with him" Lincoln answers "He can only visit our house unless he asks me, he can't be anywhere near my sisters unless I'm there as well, he has to undergo a long therapy session with doctor Lopez and another therapist that jordan's dad knows if he wants to get over his weird crush over you (making Lori smile), he has to stop with the 20/20 rule but if he can't handle it he has to go home and finally he has to accept that I have a girlfriend so I won't be hanging out with him on most days" as Lincoln finishes explaining "Whoa man, way to lay down the law" Lynn whistles impressed "You schooled him good Lincoln! Hahaha! Get it?" Luan jokes "Unfortunately no, and very precise on your rules male sibling" Lisa congratulates "But wait if he's not your best friend, then who is?" asked Leni as Lincoln smiles "Easy, my first friend" he says looking at the sister nest to him "What?" asked Luna making everyone look at her in shock and soon Luna realizes "Me?" she looks to her brother "Well you and I were pretty much the same back when we were young, we always hang out, we both like to jam sometimes, you're pretty much the sister I'm comfortable with and you are my legal guardian, so yeah you pretty mush are my best friend" he says touching Luna's heart "Aww Lincoln!" she says hugging him and he returns the hug getting an 'Aww' from everyone, soon they arrive at Gus' "Okay were here Lincoln" says Lori "I'll be back here after I drop off the others" she continues as Lincoln gets off "Okay then see you soon" says Lincoln as the vanzilla drives off and Lincoln enters the arcade "time to get to work" as he walks in and puts on an employee's hat.
(Time skip Friday night after two weeks)
Lincoln exits the bathroom feeling all ready for his date wearing an orange long sleeved shirt with a white polo inside, blue jeans and a pair of white shoes with some black lining "You ready for this little bro?" asks Luna as she waits on the stairs "Dang right I am" he says and then walks down the stairs and sees his other sisters in the living room getting their attention "Look at you Mr. Ladies' man" says Lynn "You look really clean big brother" Lana says "Make this one special Bro" Lori says "You ready to get smooth on your rough date?" Hahaha! Get it?" Luan jokingly says making everyone groan "Well see you guys later" he says as Luna opens the door for him "Go get him tiger" Luna says teasingly "Thanks Lunes" as he heads for vanzilla with Rita in the driver's seat "You ready for this honey" says his mom "Heck yeah" he replies as he enters the vehicle and soon they drive off to the Rosato residence, soon they arrive and pick up his girlfriend who is wearing a yellow dress that reaches her knees with blue straps and a pair of brown shoes almost like Lori's and they head off to their destination, and they eventually arrive at Ketchum park which surprises Jordan "I thought we were heading to a restaurant or something?" she asks only seeing him open the door for her as he smiles she then gets out and he grabs her hand and leads her to a gazebo with two seats with a table and the area surrounded by roses and glowing lanterns "oh my boy is growing up in such a romantic way" says Rita who drives off leaving the young couple, Jordan and Lincoln take their seat, then Lynn Sr. arrives with a covered plate 'Mr. Loud' she thinks in her mind, and then he removes the cover revealing spaghetti and meatballs and then he places two forks and their glasses with soda "Bon a petit children" he says as he leaves and then sees a small band playing soothing music nearby she then looks at Lincoln in astonishment "How?" she asks "Nothing is too good for my lady" he replies making her giggle and they both start eating they're food, then she asks "How did you rent out this place and the band?" she asks as he smiles "Well three days after our first date I decided to take a part time job at Gus', went around the neighborhood to do some yard work and three days ago I was delivering newspapers, and that's how I earned enough money for this date" he finishes "Wow you really had this planned… and for me" she says feeling touched by his gentleman like nature "Like I said nothing is too good for my lady" as they both toast they're drinks and return to eating their dinner.
After their dinner Lincoln stands up 'this is it' he says to his mind walks towards Jordan who looks at him in confusion then brings out a small box (no its not ring sized), causing Jordan to blush 'What?' she thinks in shock as he opens it revealing a heart shaped necklace "Oh my god" she says covering her mouth Lincoln grabs the necklace and it splits into two necklaces as well as breaking the heart, he puts the one half on jordan's neck and the other on his "I want these necklaces to symbolize the Love we share" he says as he opens his necklace revealing a picture of Jordan and her necklace revealing a picture of him, then they unite both necklaces as the picture of both them come together and makes an image of both of them lying next to each other under a tree in the park, causing her cheeks to heat up at the sight "Oh Lincoln, this is so amazing!" she says as she hugs him and places a kiss on his lips and he returns it soon they separate "The necklace is made of actual silver" Lincoln says shocking Jordan "but, how could you afford this?" she asks "After all the work I did and calculating how much I've made, I found out I still had a lot of cash over and decided to get this, for both of us" he says as he stares at her in a loving gaze "You are just too much, com here handsome" she says as they share one final passionate kiss, making this a truly romantic moment.
I had this idea since I read the many reviews and decided to bring Lincoln and Clyde's friendship back, sort of, and the whole date thing came to me in a dream, hope you guys like this, please review.
