After having a bad day at school, Lil goes out to the football field to clear her head where she meets someone and ends up falling head over heels in love with them.

I do not own Rugrats/All Grown Up

So You Had A Bad Day

Lil burst through the doors of the gym leading to the football field. She had never had such a bad day before. Phil didn't bother waking her up, causing her to be late to school, she didn't get to eat breakfast, she didn't have time to make herself look nice, and she was holding on to a secret that could possibly ruin a relationship.

She was mumbling to herself and tried to make her hair look decent as she walked up to the football field. This was the one place she knew no one would bother her because everyone else was still in class. She walked up the stairs to the bleachers and started walking across one of the seats to where she normally sat but she saw someone there. She groaned and turned to walk away but slipped and landed on her ankle wrong. She let out a scream because it scared her, getting the attention of the guy.

He walked over to her when he saw she had fallen and offered her his hand to help her up. Lil took it and sat down before taking her shoe off to look at her ankle "Having a bad day?" he asked sitting down next to her.

Lil forced a laugh and rolled her eyes "How could you tell?"

"Just a lucky guess." he said leaning forward so his elbows were on his knees.

Lil sighed and stared at him. She knew he was a football player because he was wearing his letterman but she wanted to know what he was doing out here. She didn't know what it was but she felt like she wanted to get to know this guy she opened her mouth to say something but he turned to look at her "You're DeVille's sister, right?" Lil nodded "I play football with him. I'm Tommy"

"Lil." she adjusted herself so she was sitting on the edge of the bench and turned to look at him "You know why I'm out here because I was having a bad day, but why are you out here?"

Tommy looked over at her "I don't have a class this period and I didn't feel like going home so I came out here to think about things."

Lil didn't even know this guy and she didn't want to push it with asking him what he was thinking about. She put a smile on "Do you mind helping me get to the nurse?"

Tommy smiled at her and stood up and helped her up, putting her arm around his shoulder and he had one around her waist. "That was a nasty fall you had."

Lil blushed and turned away from him "You watched me fall?"

Tommy shrugged and they continued walking towards the school "I looked over at you and then you fell. Your ankle is probably just sprained"

"I hope so."

They walked through the gym doors and started towards the nurses office. Phil turned the corner and saw Lil with Tommy. Phil walked over "What are you doing with my sister?"

"She slipped off the bleachers and hurt her ankle. I'm helping her to the nurses office." Tommy said.

Lil looked between the two, she could tell they didn't like each other but she didn't know why. She made a mental note to talk to Phil about it later. She moved her arm from around Tommy's shoulders "I can get Phil to take me from here. But thanks for your help" she gave Tommy a smile before moving over to Phil.

"It's not a problem, I'll see you around." he said, mainly to Lil, before walking away.

Phil put an arm around his sister and they started walking towards the nurse "What were you doing up at the bleachers? Better yet, what were you doing with him?"

Lil rolled her eyes "I was having a bad day, no thanks to you."

"How is your bad day my fault?"

"You didn't wake me up! And because I have a secret of yours that could easily ruin yours and Kimi's relationship." she felt Phil tense up after she said that.

"You wouldn't, Lillian."

"Oh but I would, Phillip. That just adds on to having a bad day because it kept running through my head and it kept me from focusing on my work. I didn't feel like being in class today so I went up to the bleachers and Tommy just happened to be there." they walked into the nurses office and Lil sat down.

"He's not a good guy. I don't want you being his friend."

Lil crossed her arms and looked up at him "Stop being so overprotective, Phillip. I can take care of myself."

"I'm letting you know, Lillian. I play football with that guy. He gets close to a girl, sleeps with them and leaves them. That's what he does. I don't want that to happen to you."

"It won't. You should probably get to class." she looked away from Phil. She remembered hearing rumors about Tommy once. Now that she thought of it, Kimi told her all about Tommy and what he does. Kimi even told her that she had a crush on Tommy once.

Lil ended up with a sprained ankle, just like Tommy said. The nurse wrapped it and gave her a pair of crutches to borrow until she got home. She was standing at her locker trying to figure out how she was going to carry her stuff while she was now on crutches. "Need some help?"

Lil turned to the person asking her and she gave him a smile "I'd love some help." she stepped aside and let Tommy get the books she needed before he closed the locker and started walking her towards her class "I thought you didn't have a class this period?"

"This period I don't. Next period, I do. So I had to back in. Is it sprained?"

"That's what she says, so you were right." she smiled but looked straight ahead "I'm not going to the rest of this class. There's only five minutes left so it would be pointless." she stopped walking and turned to look at him "Why don't you and Phil like each other?"

Tommy looked away from her before letting out a sigh "A lot of shit happened last year. Your brother holds a grudge."

"What kind of stuff?"

Lil could tell that Tommy was thinking about not telling her. He looked over at her before he started talking again "Kimi happened."
