East Hall Corridor
Franklin was already inside around the east wing of the school building, checking the list on the bulletin board to see what class he landed in. He was wearing a red and black Minnesota Twins jersey with a black long sleeve shirt from under, black jeans, and red and black sneakers.
"Let's see...yes! I landed in Mrs. Vincent's class!" Franklin would have a short lived celebration, as Violet was angrily speed-walking in his direction, bumping into him."
"Hey! What the hell is up with you Violet?!" Franklin asked, now irritated by the unwanted, and clearly uneeded gesture.
She would turn around to stomp back towards him.
"That damn pet that Charlie Brown walks around with is what's up with me!" She spat, venom metaphorically leaking from her mouth.
"What do you mean, "pet?" Snoopy has been gone for nearly two years already." Franklin was confused.
"Not that pet, Franklin! I'm talking about his weird dyke of a girlfriend, Peppermint Patty." Facepalmed Violet, like it was common knowledge and not a cruel insult.
Franklin would visibly cringe from her statement ."What did she do to you this time to piss you off?" He felt that Violet started the conflict first, but decided to word it differently to get some sort of response without fail.. He'll get Peppermint Patty's side later to put the pieces together.
"I was getting out of my car, and she just said quote on quote: "There goes the trust fund baby over there!"
Franklin would nod. He knows that Violet wasn't telling the whole, if not entire truth. He also knew that Peppermint Patty had confidence to speak her mind whenever and wherever, and would say something like that if provoked enjoy.
"I'll talk to her about it for you, don't worry about it."
Violet would just wave her hands nervously. She'd just rather let it go than potentially make things worse and deal with her later.
"It's fine, their just words. i dish them out all the time! A-Anyways, why do you suddenly care, Franklin?"
Franklin would awkwardly rub his head. "Well for starters, i don't like being bumped into. Also, because i just felt that i should support you. You can be a big fussbucket, even more than Lucy these days, but nobody should have to be in a bad mood.
Violet would stand there, taking in Franklin's words. She didn't agree with the whole fussbucket part, but still felt a tinge of comfort in that cold heart of hers.
"Well. . .thank you." Violet turned to start walking towards her homeroom class, but would turn her head around to look at him.
"Also, i'm sorry for bumping into you."
She continued her journey, with Franklin focused on her walking down the hall. Franklin knew that it was more than just being kind to everyone. He had a crush on her since they were kids. There was something about her than just looks. He felt deep down that there was a reason to why Violet acts the way she does, and he wants to break that shell, see the good side of her that rarely shows such as just now. He would be interrupted from his thoughts, seeing that she just got out of visual range and heard the steps of Charlie Brown, Peppermint Patty, Linus, Patty, and Lucy walking up to take a look at the board. Franklin would smile.
"Guys! How's it hanging!" Franklin would come around to give everyone a quick hug.
"Nothing much, got into a quick spat with Violet outside." Peppermint Patty said with a twinge of irritation in her voice.
"I just heard about it from Violet. I know you didn't start it though, considering how she acts in the past and now."
"I don't know why she has to antagonize everyone i associate with, we haven't done shit to her." Charlie Brown said, baffled at the many ways she tries to kick him down.
"Don't worry about it, Babe. She isn't even worth a shift of the eyes." Peppermint Patty said, giving him a peck on the cheek.
"She's right." Linus began. "Look around, you went from being the worst baseball player to the star pitcher of the high school team. You have a welcoming and loving family, and not to mention great friends!"
"You also have a hot girlfriend too, so chin up man." Franklin stated.
"Thanks Frank." Peppermint Patty faintly blushed.
"I can't even see the lie, there." Charlie smiled.
Linus would look at the board to see where he landed, eyes flying wide like saucers finding out he is stuck with Mr Wendel.
"Damn it! I got stuck with Mr Wendel, and from what it seems, so did Charlie Brown and Trish!"
"At least we are together." Peppermint Patty says, intertwining her fingers with Charlie's.
"That's fair, let's hope that he doesn't make us do a first day pop quiz, or make us read the syllabus."
"Don't jinx it." Linus grumbled under his breath.
"I got stuck with, Mrs Vincent." Lucy smiled to herself. "This will be a breeze."
"Me too! Too bad i can't be there with my darling~" Patty spoke up, clinging onto Linus.
"Don't worry love, we can at least spend lunch together."
"That's true." She quietly said.
"Well, let's go to our classes, then. I hope that Marcie is in our class too." Trish said, thinking excitedly of being able to spend most the school day with her boyfriend and best friend.
"Me too." Charlie agreed, before looking back at Franklin. "Are you going to come hang out with us at Joe's, Franklin?"
"Bruh, you know that i'll be there before you could even say onomatopoeia."
"Onomatopoeia." Lucy quickly said, cueing an eye roll from Franklin.
"Whatever, Luce. I'll see you guys at lunch!" Franklin and everyone would disperse to their own respective classes."
Meanwhile in the Music Room.
Mr. Lynott was uploading the one and two year projects onto the schools YouTube channels. He was taking over for the former teacher, Mr Fouts, who chose to leave the school over the summer. He gave Mr Lynott instructions on all work that was left after he resigned.
"Let's see. . .Frieda Rich and Patty Swanson's Project, Lucy Van Pelt and Shermy Plepler's Project, Marcie Carlin and Schroeder Doran's project..."
The burley man would upload the videos one by one, reading down the names of each participants projects to make sure that he was uploading the right ones.
"Charlie Brown, Linus Van Pelt, and Franklin Armstrong's Project, Check. Finally, i'm caught up on everything." He said with a chuckle of joy. Mr Lynott would walk out of the class room to prepare himself before the classes start.
The computer, showing the video being uploaded, had a warning on the end of the file name, saying "DO NOT UPLOAD!"
Sally would pace up and down the hall nearby her class. She found out that she got the short end of the stick by being placed in Mr. Gribble's class. The only person she would know in that class would be Schroeder, which was fine, but preferred if she was in Linus's class. Her obsession with him has gotten more unhealthy over the years, trying hard to win him over. But every time she tries, she gets shot down. It really got worse once Patty started dating her longtime crush. It made her sick, and angry to the core.
"That bitch thinks she could take MY man??? I have to find a way to break Linus out of that heifer's spell. But, how...?"
Schroeder would walk down the hall, seeing Sally pacing and talking to herself. He was wearing a purple sweater, black jeans, and white sneakers with purple laces.
"What's up Sally? You seem a little troubled." Schroeder said with concern.
Sally would quickly shut up about her ideas on how to ruin Linus's relationship, speaking to Schroeder like everything was completely fine.
"Oh, hey Schroeder. Everything is fine! I'm just annoyed with being in Mr. Gribble. Your the only person i know who's going to be in that class.
"Oh, i heard. I just hope the smell from last year is completely gone. Still can't understand how he got a teaching job..." Schroeder said, understanding completely how she felt when it came up to the teacher.
"Right! I can't stand it! Oh well, might as well deal with it for now until i can see if it i can get transfered to Mr Wendel. At least he's not as weird." Sally audibly sighed to herself. 'Also so i can keep a close eye on my sweet babboo.' she thought, smiling at the thought.
The two would have a conversation about random topics for a little bit, enjoying each other's time at the moment as the crowd of students passed by.
Just as they were talking, Mr. Gribble would walk up to open the door, he was a tall and lanky man with reddish-orange hair and reflective gray glasses.
He would call the two teens over into the room, confusing the two, after closing the door, he would look at them, before speaking.
"You guys like roadkill?" He said, smirk growing on his face, this doesn't sound so good already.
The day went on normally, classes for everyone started off boring, as usual introduction days go for a new school year. It was also slightly irritating for Linus and Charlie, finding out that Violet was in the same class as them. Peppermint Patty found it more than irritating for her though, as she and Charlie Brown were getting the most effort of her bullying compared to Linus, who wasn't really messed with as much. At least the fifteen minute break is coming up as second period ends.
West Wing Corridor
Charlie Brown and Linus would walk down the corridors, on their way to get some sodas at the vending machines.
"Why must i get all of the bad luck?! They just had to put Violet in our class to torment us. Well, mainly me and Trish." Charlie ranted.
"I don't understand why, Charlie Brown. Linus said out loud while pondering. " She is weirdly deciding to give me a lighter sentence of her campaign to hurt us."
"I dont understand either, man. At least we have a small break from her, and Lunch is soon."
They would both walk up to grab themselves some cokes from the machine, taking a sip and chatting it up. Until a certain person comes up to the boys from behind.
"Hey, Dorks!" They both turned around to look at who said that. It was unfortunately Joe Agate, who had a shit-eating grin on his face. He seemed to wear the same clothes as he did as a kid, but getting rid of his cap to show his long flowing hair that he grew out over the years. "When's the next video? I want to make an appearance in it."
"What are you talking about?" Linus asked, confused.
"Don't play dumb with me, you know what i'm talking about!"
"We really don't." Charlie Brown stated, also with a confused expression.
"You really are going to make me explain it?" He would frown, thinking they were feigning ignorance. "Y'know, the music projects Mr Fouts had us do back in our freshman and sophomore years? They finally uploaded them to youtube.
Both of their eyes would go wide, spitting out their drinks onto Joe. They are now remembering exactly what he was talking about. they thought they buried that painful memory of freshman year to never be found.
"Shit." They both said, running off to go find Franklin, with Joe shaking his fists at the two.
"Get back here, idiots!! you gotta help me get this shit off of my clothes!" Joe screamed at the two, who were quickly getting out of earshot.
