Chapter 4 - Unexpected Things Happen
Kendra's POV
It's Friday and it's my favorite day! Well, my grandparents let me use our family computer for 5 hours every Fridays. Previously, I used it to watch Anime's, play video games and watch my favorite cartoon, 'The Loud House'.
Today, I 'm using it to write stories in my saved document of the Microsoft Word. I know it is enthralling yet it is more like embarrassing. I don't wanna talk about it.
(In school)
Mrs. Smith: "Class, everybody's lucky that today's a break day."
Everybody: "Yay! Yeah! Yippee!"
Mrs. Smith: "So instead of sitting at your butts, how 'bout a music competition?!"
Just what I expected. Whenever there's a free day, Mrs. Smith would always think of music competitions. None of us could even win apart from Shawn Scapream (A.K.A. 'Musician'). I know that his family name is weird like it's so close to SCREAM. At any rate, we must carry on.
Halia: "Aw... Mrs. Smith, how 'bout a different topic? It has always been music and it's getting boring."
Shawn: "No, it's not!"
Liam: "Hey! How 'bout sports?"
Jake: "You're the only one who like it. A dance competition is much better!"
Ruby: "I'm not genuinely good in dancing so maybe arts?"
Blake: "I hate all of them."
Ann: "Eating competition!"
Everybody: "Nope!"
Kent: "I know!" *standing up* "I guess a story writing competition would be superior! You could write anything! It could be about music, sports, dancing, arts, food---Anything!"
Hmm... That doesn't seem like a bad idea. Oh, I almost forgot. The new guys are Liam (A.K.A. 'Jock'), Jake (A.K.A. 'Mr. Groove'), Leya (A.K.A. 'Artist', sometimes I called her as 'Aesthete'), Blake (A.K.A. 'Grumpyo') and Kent (A.K.A. 'Coolist'). They're also my mates and Mrs. Smith is our adviser.
Everyone buzzed a moment with each other and we yelled "YES!" in unison. Yup! We all agreed however I'm not sure if Mrs. Smith would. Unlike the other teacher who thinks about it first, she left the room then slammed the door. Weird... All of us simply sated here blankly. A minute or so, Shawn spoke.
"See! Look what you've done!" he said angrily. "You made Mrs. Smith a mad truck 'cause you wanted another competition!"
"Oh you're the one to talk." I uttered.
"Hey! Just because you're usually the winner doesn't mean you have to decide, mister!" Halia responded.
Wow. H has a point. Yet I must've train her to be a little more relaxed. Seconds of silence passed by (maybe around 15 or 20) that the speakers of the school instantly utter something through the voice of the principal, Mr. Lozank.
"To all 4th, 5th and 6th graders, there will be a Story Writing Contest next month." he announced. "If any of you are interested, you may join in our sign-up sheet in my office. You can even place your final copy at my desk before the contest since it is the day of the elimination. So good luck and thank you for listening."
After that, ALL of us are silent. Halia mentioned what everyone was thinking.
"Say what now?"
(During breaks)
My hands are in my pockets as I walk throughout the halls together with the vermin (I meant Halia).
"Wow! What a surprise!" she spoke, skipping like a rabbit. "I'd never believe that Mrs. Smith would like our opinion and report it to mister principal."
"You're gonna join?" I questioned.
"Nah. I'm not truly good at writing. Besides, I have nothing to express. And why are you so concerned?"
"Just asking."
Later, the nuisance spotted Diane by her locker which allows her to run to her. I didn't care about Halia going cuckoo about friendship. However; I'm bored hence I came after H.
"Sup Diane." H. Stones greeted.
"Annyeonghaseyo" D. Rainshine greeted back. I dunno what she meant 'cuz now me and Halia has confused looks.
"It means 'hi'." Stated familiar voice behind us that delivered us goosebumps... Of course, we shrieked in reply.
"Lily! Never ever do that again!" Halia provoked. "You gave me a heart attack!"
"Yeah. You're not even a goth like Lucy." I agreed.
"What about me?" popping out of nowhere. Once more with the shrieks. Well guess who it is. Lucy Dlinn (A.K.A. Goth).
"Lucy! Can you stop doing that?!" H raged in anger. "It's giving me nightmares!"
"I like nightmares." Lucy commented.
Lucy's the spooky one in SPE (Spring Leaf Elementary). She usually wears her black clothes and she never smiles. Sorta. She sometimes said strange things like black magic, rituals and... blood? Her favorite hobby is to frighten people and I hate it. I also assume that Lucy Loud from The Loud House is her idol.
"Are you gonna take part in the competition?" H asked,wanting to know.
"...Nope." L. Dlinn answered. "I'd rather write poems."
"You remind me of Lucy Loud." Lily remarked.
"And you remind me of Lisa Loud." the goth said.
"Are you a fan of the Loud House?" Diane questioned.
"Hey!" Halia yelped, pointing at me. "Kendra's a fan."
"Wai---Wha? What?" I stuttered. "How'd the heck you knew?"
"Just a hoax." the annoying (orange) grinned. Just a hoax, eh? It's actually true that I'm a fan.
"You're really a fan?!" Lucy squealed. Oops... Must've said that too loud. All of a sudden, she hugged me.
"Aah! Get off of me! I hate hugs!" attempting to break the weird embrace. "Are a goth or a hugger?!"
Fortunately, that stopped it.
"Uhm... I gotta... go..." Lucy dashed away from us. Heh. That's what she gets. Then, I felt a tap at my shoulder. I glimpsed over it and saw Halia's grin. I predict there's something she's going to say that would not be good. Therefore, I create an excuse and rushed before she came after me. I flashed at the top of the school, getting to view the city. (Not so much)
Woah... So this is the roof, the most peaceful place in SLE. Great! A 'bit of relaxation. I lied down as I stare at the sky, enjoying the quietness. Do ya wanna know the best part? I'm about to shut mah eyes just when the bell ringed. VERY FREAKING LOUD!!! So much for my relaxation. I quickly straightened up and sprinted back to my class. Not all endings ends with a happy ending.
A/N: Heyya! Sorry it took 4 months for me to return. I've been busy lately. I'm just gonna set some interesting things on the future chapters. Some of them will be Halia-less. Enjoy 'n seeya! 😜
