Lynn

Last chapter and we are done. To me at least, the book was long, hard, and boring. It just wasn't my style, but hey, at least I'm almost done. It contained 2 parts so Jennifer and I decided to split up so that I read one part, and she reads the other. This way, the read doesn't feel like it's going on forever and we can start working on the project part sooner rather than later. I had part 1. To be honest, I feel more then half of that was useless info that could have been cut out. I mean come on! Louisa May Alcott didn't have to explain each one of their story act outs in every detail! I didn't even understand it half of the time! I'm just happy I'm about done with it to say the least.

It is official. I have finished reading part 1 in 3 and a half weeks! Jennifer also finished her part so looks like we are going into the project part now! Trust me when I say, it was NOT easy! I had to read a chapter a day—which now that I say it out loud doesn't seem that bad, but they were long! There are 23 chapters in part 1, so you know… 23 days. It just felt long since I already have a jam pack schedule. Anyway, since there are 19 chapters in part 2, Jenifer had finished not too long ago. Today, we had decided that she would buy the tri-fold board and that we would write the summery for our part's tonight. Our plan was to combine the two to make one big happy summery. Yeah… so far, she was ok, but I don't really like her. She is… ugh! It's hard to explain! She just seems like she doesn't really care about her work and I have a feeling still that I'm going to have to do majority of the work! At least she read her part…

After the bell rang, I grabbed my bag, and started heading to the door. Now, I have 7th, then 8th, then home! Thank. God. While walking to my chemistry class, some freshman pushed me to get to his friend ahead, and I ended up bumping into someone, making him dropping his phone.

"Oh God! I'm sorry! I didn't mean to bump into you! You see someone shoved me and—"

"Hey, don't worry about it! I saw what happened. It's cool. Plus it's not like it's broken." He told me.

"Alright, well that's good. Again, I'm sorry!" I finalized and walked passed him to the 130 hall. Turns out, the same guy walked into my class. Huh. I REALLY must be blind to not notice all these people that are apparently in my classes…

"Your David, correct?" My teacher asked him.

"Yes."

"Ok well can you sit right there in seat 15; Next to Lynn?"

"No problem." He said taking his seat looking at me.

"So what? Are you new to the school or something?" I commented.

"No, just got a schedule change." He surmised smiling. He was so chill! What the heck!

"Ah." I said nodding my head, then class began. Like usual, all went in one ear and out the other, but oh well. I'm graduating next year so thank God to that! If you're wondering, yes, I'm 16 and yes, I'm doing early grad. I'm kinda forced to anyways, but I'm not complaining. Lincoln agreed to graduate at 17 as well so that way he can be with Lacy and I as soon as possible. Knowing him, he also wants to just be free from this prison, but go off I guess Lincoln.

After the bell rang, I tried to make my way to Film analysis, but David stopped me.

"Hey, they also changed my lunch so I was wondering, do you have 4th lunch? Maybe we can meet up tomorrow?" he commented.

"Uh… yeah. I actually do have 4th lunch…"

"Cool, well then, tomorrow? Wanna have lunch together?"

"Ummmm…. Yeah, why not? I sit at the big table by the windows towards the front of the cafeteria. Know it?"

"Yup! See tomorrow there then!" he finalized.

"Wait! I sit with my sisters and… brother… so… is that fine?"

"What? Are you not sure?" he mockingly giggled.

"Yeah! Yeah, sorry. I'm just… a bit tired, you know?" I said nervously.

"I'm just teasing! No problem!" he said punching my shoulder lightly.

"K, cool. See you then." I told him walking away.

"Why is this even a class?" Lincoln asked me.

"I don't know. I guess for people who want to be directors and shit." I told him, keeping my eyes on the screen still. My 8th period was Film analysis—it's basically where you watch movies and are suppose to analyze things about it such as lighting, camera angel, acting style and all that. Instead, our teacher just pops in a movie then sits at his desk and sleeps. I don't mind though. It gives me time to do homework, or just relax. Plus, Lincoln is also in this class with me. It was a regular classroom but instead of desks, they're were sofa like seats and 2 tables in the back. The room had no windows so it was perfect for the subject. I laid my head on Lincoln's lap, and had my feet up on one of the seats. He brushed his hand through my hair, and honestly, I was about to fall asleep. I LOVED he did that! I usually didn't have to hide my stomach that much in this class since it was dark in here and people sat far from one another. Now, that doesn't mean that I can just discard of my sweater, but I didn't have to worry as much about how it looks on me as to not show my bump. Anyway, this is basically a resting period. Good thing it's left for last.

When the bell rang, I started to make my way to the buses with Linc, but then, Luna stopped us.

"Hey, um… do you guys wanna try coming in the van with us? The bus is just… not great. It's a better option, plus, you'll be home sooner…"

"Umm… I don't know Luna… I'm already good and set on the bus and plus… I don't have the best relationship with Lori…" I claimed.

"Oh come on! Please! She's not that bad! At least not anymore!"

"Uh Luna? We literally live with her. We know how she still is." Lincoln added.

"Yea but in the car, she doesn't even talk to us! Please I don't want to be in their alone with her!"

"You're not alone though! You have Lola and Lana and Lucy and—"

"No! It's not the same!" she bellowed. She then suddenly saw Luan walking by. "LUAN!" She yelled as she yanked her by the arm. "Can you please come in the car with me?!"

"Uh… sure! If Lynn and Lincoln are cool with that."

"That's the thing! They don't want to! Please convince them! PLEASE!" she begged.

"Luna, what is the big deal?!" I questioned.

"I just don't see why you guys have to take the bus! Now with Leni gone, it's horrible in the car! Please?! Just this once!" she continued to plea. I crossed my arms and squinted my eyes.

"Just… once!" I emphasized with one finger up.

"Yes! Thank You!" she said as she dragged us to the car line. There, we saw vanzilla parked. Luna slid open the back door and got in. With hesitation, the rest of us got in. At the sight of us, Lori groaned.

"What?! The bus isn't working?" she growled at us.

"Actually, it is. I asked them to come." Luna retorted. She just rolled her eyes in response. I still didn't want to get in the car, but Luna was really pulling my leg.

Yup. I'm never riding vanzilla home again. At least not with Lori. Okay, let me explain. It was good for about 5 minutes, but then she came up with the whole "why do I have to live with these disgusting no lives?" crap. Technically, she said it to herself, but she wanted us to hear it.

"Why do you have to be such a bitch all the time? Damn, doesn't that shit get tiring?!" I hinted at her.

"Are you really going to start?! Here?!" Lori groaned angrily.

"I'm the one who started?! I'm sorry, you seem to have short term memory! Let me refresh it for you!" I started, throwing an empty water bottle at her head as I said so. "WhY dO I hAVe tO LiVe wITh tHeEs dISscuStInG NO liVeS?!" I said in a mocking tone.

"You know what?!" she said instantly pulling over the car. "I just about had it with you!" she said opening the door. "Get out."

"Lori, let's not make irrational decisions here—" Luna started but was cut off.

"OH MY GOD LUNA ! NO EVEN FREAKING ASKED YOU!" Lori yelled. Lola, Lana, Lucy, Lisa and Lily just sat there awkwardly, not knowing what to do.

"You know, I'm starting to see what Lynn is saying!" Luna angrily told her.

"You can leave too! The less of you guys I have to deal with!"

"Lori can you calm the fuck down! Shit! What the fuck is wrong with you?! Can't you ever be the mature one for once?!" Lucy blurted out.

"You know what?! I'm just going to drive home now. No one talk to me or I swear, no one's going to be happy with me!" she said closing the door and turning the car back into the main road.

"No one's ever happy with you." Lucy mumbled. Lori heard, but chose to ignore her. The rest of the ride was silent. I appreciate Lucy defending us, but I would really love it if she didn't curse so much. Ok, that was kind of hypocritical, but the thing is, Lucy is only 11. Thanks to us, she curses more and has lost her innocence. She has always been a realist, but she still had that innocence of a child and I feel like she has lost that sooner than she should have. I just don't know anymore. I'm really trying here to be a good influence, be responsible, be worthy, be kind, but all I feel is like that I'm about the break…

A/N: Hi! So the editing of this chapter was kinda rushed, but overall I hope it's okay. Thanks for reading chapter 17. I really appreciate you guys and although I may not post a lot, I love writing to post it here… eventually. Anyway, I hope you enjoyed this chapter, there is much more to come. This was kind of just a short filler type chapter just to introduce some characters and things like that. Just a reminder that I started writing this around… I think 2016-2017 (Yeah, its really been that long… sorry) so I'm following the story line from season 1, although I still try to incorporate some of the newer seasons details. Also, I like to sneak small bits and pieces of one story that I'm writing or some other fandom into this one. See if you can catch them in some of my chapters. This one doesn't have any, but others do! Feel free to PM me or leave a review! Till next time!
