Ninjago Highschool: Chapter Twenty: Annoyances
Ever since the Sons of Gaming entered the school, things were terrible for most of the students. What used to be a school for elemental masters in training, became that, but with a bunch of non-elemental users, obsessed with gaming, and being pricks. Students had to deal with them talking about games, being loud, etc. Teachers had to deal with SoG members playing on their phones during class, and having to just deal with it, since they weren't quite their students. Mr. Garmadon had tried to get rid of them, but he and Wu had already signed a contract with the SoG, and with Harumi's parents. Trying to break a contract with the Royal Family is like trying to claim Zane isn't a robot. So for the time being, Mr. Garmadon and the school staff would have to deal with the SoG until they were able to be kicked out. The only thing the staff could really do was give the SoG what they want: time to game. They let them game in class, but gave them the lowest non-failing grade.
A few days passed since Lloyd shut Harumi down, and his life hadn't improved. In fact, some SoG members were even bullying him, but not enough that he could prove it to teachers. Some would close his locker when he tried to open it, or try to bump into him while he was walking with his lunch. The only reason it never got violent, was because Kai would beat the ever-loving shit out of someone who would even think of that. Overall? Lloyd was not having a good time.
What was worse though, was that it was the final day for his paper in English class, and he barely wrote anything. English class went how it normally went, save for Lloyd not turning in his paper like everyone else did. Right when he was about to leave, Ms. Aspheera stopped him. "Lloyd, I need you to stay behind for a bit." Some SoG members went "Ooooooh" to tease him, but Ms. Aspheera shushed them away. When they were alone, Ms. Aspheera closed the door, and looked at Lloyd. "So, I noticed you didn't turn in your paper. Can you explain why?" Lloyd didn't want to explain that he hasn't had something happen that made him happy, but he didn't have a choice in the matter.
"I...well I don't HAVE anything that made me super happy. I tried writing something, but they weren't good enough for the paper." Ms. Aspheera and Lloyd were silent for a good bit. "...Do you need to see the school guidance counselor Lloyd?" Mr. Fangtom was not the best counselor , and he didn't want to spend an hour talking to some guy about his feelings, so Lloyd tried to object. "No, I don't want a therapist-" Ms. Aspheera stopped him. "He's not a therapist, but he can get you one if you DO need one. I'll talk to Mr. Garmado-" "Wait!" Lloyd interrupted. "Don't tell my dad about this please! I don't wanna deal with this stuff at home!" Ms. Aspheera rolled her eyes, but relented. "Okay fine, I'll talk to Mr. Pythor, and tell him to keep it under wraps from Mr. Garmadon. Go to your next class." Lloyd got his bag, and silently fumed to himself.
On top of the Sons of Gaming, and school itself, he has to see some damn counselor at school. Could his life get any worse right now? Well, maybe, but he'd have to wait for that to happen. The ONLY good thing that happened today was when Brad texted him. All it said was "Wanna hang out?" Lloyd was in the middle of typing up a paragraph about how his day was horrible, but took a second to think about it, and deleted it. He just gave a "Sure". He probably had enough energy to hang out with Brad.
"Hey, pass me some doritos." A red clothed SoG member ordered to the green clothed one next to him. Green passed him a bag of red doritos, as they watched Lloyd's house. Suddenly the door opened, and Lloyd walked out, going to where he and Brad would meet. Green picked up his phone and called someone. "Yeah, Lloyd is out. We'll trail him, find out where he's going. Harumi, who was on the other side, smirked. "Alright, call Killow when you find where he is, I'll put him on standby." The SoG was going to ruin Lloyd's life since he ruined their plans. Meanwhile, Harumi was trying to figure out how they could get Mr. Garmadon's attention, to fix their plan up.
Lloyd was walking to the nearby park to meet Brad, because parks are free, and don't have a lot of people. The SoG members were far back, keeping close eyes while keeping far distance. They were texting Killow consistently, who was waiting somewhere nearby with a small crew. "Chances are he is heading towards the park." Red texted. Killow texted back "Okay." Later on Lloyd and Brad saw each other, and they began to walk towards one another. As Brad looked behind Lloyd though, he could of sworn he saw two figures, but they were gone pretty quick...ah well.
"Hey Brad..." Lloyd said in a tired tone. "Hey man...you okay?" Brad asked, concerned. "No..." "Wanna sit down and talk about it?" "...Sure." Lloyd and Brad found a nearby bench, and Lloyd started to spill his guts about what happened today. Not far off though, the stalkers watched, and confirmed their location. Killow got the message and made a evil smile. "Alright boys, let's do this." He and his crew put their masks and jackets on...
