September 25th 2012
First day of school? Not the best. Last half of my day was rather uneventful after recess. I had math, language arts and P.E., all with the twins, except Math, to which Dipper had social studies.
Our math teacher didn't look so good. I swear he had a hangover or something. Language arts was something, oh man... and don't get me started with P.E....
*Bell Rings*
Falling back to earth, I see kids lining up to go back to class. It's after recess again and Mabel comes up to me, her arm linked with Dipper's. "Heya, Mace! How's your outfit? Is everyone loving it?!"
Mabel made me wear what she wanted to see me in today. 'Stupid game of tag...' And I don't even know what Dipper has in store for me.
"Fine? No one has commented on it," I reply.
She gasps, startling our brother. "What!? No one? Okay, that's it." She un-links her arm and grabs mine, dragging me up to a line of students in a hurry.
'What I'm wearing? You don't wanna know... I feel so stupid and- what does this girl think she's doing?!' My eyes go wide when Mabel stops in front of every kid. She climbs up onto a ledge, bringing me with her. Teachers and children all stop talking at the same time.
"Attention everybody!" Mabel calls out. 'Oh no...' I groan and hide my face. "This is my triplet, Macie," she continues as I feel a hand prying mine off my face. I could only imagine my cheeks are redder than Hookfang at this point.
"Mabel..." I hear Dipper whisper from below us, looking between us and the crowd worriedly.
"I dressed her in this special outfit just for school and no one has complemented her!" Murmers echo throughout but all I can hear are the snickers. "So, if anybody would like to come up and do so, that would be great!"
Surprisingly, someone stepped up. It's Carly, that one girl from science class. 'Mabel's told me about her, but I don't think we've spoken.'
"Uh, I like the outfit, a lot, Mabel..." she squeaks and then runs back to her line up.
"Thank you, Carly! Anyone else?" I pray that no one would come up, but it doesn't work. I regret opening my eyes as the one who steps up is Nathan. 'Oh no.'
"Well where do I begin?" he starts with a fake nice voice. Mabel grins, probably thinking he's coming around. "For starters, you're wearing a sweater that says, 'Mister Duck Lumps' with a terribly made cartoon duck smack in the middle." Kids start laughing as Mabel's grin falters. "Second, are you hot or cold? I mean, the sweater and then a short skirt? What are you trying to say?"
A teacher finally comes to their senses and stops Nathan, ordering him back in line and then walking up to us. I drown everything out; the laughter, the cat calls. "Mabel, Macie, and Dipper, please go line up and get back to class. I don't want this happening again," Sid Barrett says, his arms on his hips.
Mabel hops off from our spot while Dipper grabs my hand and helps me down. "Come on, Mace." Dipper puts his hand on my back and starts leading the way when the teacher speaks up again.
"Macie. Hang back a sec', I wanna talk to you." We all turn back at the same time. 'Triplet stuff? I don't know but it's creepy...' Seeing that the twins won't back down, the P.E. teacher glares and says, sternly, "Alone."
"It's okay guys. Get to class and I'll be there soon." Mabel looks upset, but nods silently and leaves. My over-protective brother, on the other hand, glares at the teacher and reluctantly turns around and shuffles his feet to the school.
"You're not in any trouble, Macie." I release a huge sigh of relief I didn't even know I was holding. "Are you okay?" he asks, taking me by surprise.
"Wait, what? I-I'm okay...I think?" I try to regather my bearings.
"I know school is hard and all... but it doesn't make it easier going and embarrassing yourself either. Let me know if Nathan gives you any more trouble. He's a transfer student and didn't take the move his family made very well."
"Doesn't give him any right to tease me..." I mumble.
"You're right." I jump, not knowing he heard me. "So let me know if he does it again."
"Okay, Mr.Barrett." He takes his leave and so do I. Quickly walking down the hall, I avoid the principal telling some other kids 'No running in the halls!' and dive into my next class.
'Math. Great. Just what I needed...'
Opening the door, the class goes silent as all attention lands on me. Mabel, who was tracing circles on her desk, looks up and flashes me a sad smile, waving me over to my seat. "Are you okay?" she asks me.
"Yeah, I'm fine..." I say harder than I meant to. Before Mabel can say anything, the teacher clears his throat, then proceeds to burp loudly.
Rick Sanchez is a very good math teacher but his people skills could use some work. "Alright, attention everybody," he burps again, making me wince in disgust. 'Like I said, his people skills need work. A lot of work.'
~~Time Skip brought to you by: Math: I hate it. That's it.~~
Dipper meets me and our sister by our shared locker with a frown. "What's wrong?" I ask, putting away my spiral notebook.
"This kid named Alex. They always say they're better than me at everything and what sucks is that I have em' for math, science, and socials!" The brunette throws his hands in the air, accidentally whacking our locker door. It sways as the boy clenches his hand in pain. "Ow, ow!"
"So basically you got a rival?" I clarify with a slight smile, slamming the cabinet door shut.
"Exactly! But I know I'm better than them. Why?" 'I guess he saw my face...' "Because back in elementary school, I got a higher score by one point on a test in third grade!" He stands proudly, closing his eyes with a triumphant smile.
Mabel giggles, "Alex is actually really nice. We should introduce you two together!"
"No. Mabel, no!" Mabel runs off, getting instantly chased by Dipper, his hand outstretched in a desperate attempt to stop our crazy sister. Smiling faintly, I shake my head at my siblings' antics.
I look down to my school schedule really quick, just to make sure I know where I'm going, when someone's leg hits my shin. I recoil but don't say anything as I look up. "Um, Macie, right?" a boy asks.
'He's the kid who I accidentally kicked in the shin yesterday!' I nod and just stand there.
"Well, my name's Aiden. I saw you at recess today-"
I cut him off, throwing my head back and groaning. "If you want to insult me, please just do it behind my back."
"Wha? No! I wanted to start over after yesterday and..." he trails off shyly.
"Oh. Okay then, hi." I wave awkwardly. 'He's literally right in front of me why did I wave!?'
Chuckling, he waves back with a hearty, "Hi." I rub my heel into the ground, not really sure what to say now.
Thankfully, he starts the conversation back up. "So," he coughs into his fist, "what class are you going to right now?"
"Umm language arts. You?" I answer and then question.
"Science. I'm in seventh grade, so I have different classes than you."
"How do you know?" I quip.
He startles, suddenly standing very stiff and straight with a hint of pink flushing his cheeks. "Well- uh!- After you kicked me, I felt that I was rude to react the way I did even when you said sorry...Umm, so I did some research on you so I could get a chance to talk."
"I see... I gotta get goin' now." As I say this, the warning bell rings loudly.
"Right... Okay, bye!" Waving once again, he turns a corner from the hallway, dissipating from view. 'Good thing class is right here!' I think to myself as I walk across the hall to L.A.
The smell of ink and paper fills my nostrils immediately as I enter the room. A stern looking man is sitting at his desk, writing...doodling?
Dipper waves me over from the back of the class. I raise an eyebrow at the missing presence of our sister as I make my way to him. "Sitting up there," he points with a sigh, "couple of her friends are in here so..."
My lips form an 'O' shape in understanding.
"Alright class," Mister Joey Drew stands up, chalk in hand and begins writing on the board with perfect cursive. "Yesterday, I taught you about the animating business. Now I want you to write about those kinds of cartoons in the nineteen hundreds. Proceed."
'I know what I'm writing about! It's THE Dancing Demon!' Wait, does it have to be non -fiction?'
~~Time Skip brought to you by: Bendy was a little devil thing!~~
"I don't think I've written that much. Ever," Mabel whines as we walk down to P.E. all together.
"Mabel," Dipper sighs, "you write stuff down all the time."
"Yeah. Awesome stuff! Never any of this...real timey stuff and all that junk." I roll my eyes at our sister.
"Well, why don't you make it fun?" I suggest.
Mabel tilts her head. "Whaddya mean?"
"I mean- Oof!" My elbow instantaneously starts burning and tingling with an insane sensation.
My head starts pounding and it doesn't help when I hear Dipper's yells ringing in my ear. I assume my female triplet is helping me up, hence the strong grip. When I fully stand, I rub my eyes and look around. Mabel's now in front of me and is waving her little hand in front of my eyes.
"St-stop." I push her hands down.
"Are you okay?!" 'Did she just screech? It sure sounds like she did, oh my goodness.' The pounding continues. "Nathan just ran you over!"
"He did?" I groan.
"Yeah! Dipper's chewing him out." She jabs her thumb into the gym.
"Whatever. Let's go." I shimmy past her and sit on the nearby bleachers in the gym. Inside, I see the coach holding my small brother back from blowing up on Nathan, while said bully is laughing his guts out.
"Alright, that's ENOUGH!" Every kid that is in this class stops and freezes, Dipper and Nathan included. "Now everybody line up on the wall," Barrett commands. We all obey and quickly do as told.
Dipper reunites with us with his arms crossed and a scowl on his lips. "Jerk...Macie, you okay?"
"My head hurts..."
Tsking, Dipper now looks worried instead of angry, "Oh, lemme see." I lean my head on his shoulder as he moves my hair a little to check for damage. "You're fine," he concludes.
"Thanks..." I don't move my noggin as I am way too comfortable. "Did you even tell the teacher what happened?"
"No," the boy spits, "I didn't get a chance to because Nathan starting provoking me and making fun of you...so I kinda went crazy..." He looks down sheepishly.
"Is fine," I slur and then wince as the burning in my elbow increases a bit.
"Alright everyone," the coach blows his whistle, "laps today. Go." He opens the door to outside and while some students groan, most break into a sprint, eager to show who's fastest in the class.
"C'mon, Mace." Both siblings pull my arms, dragging me outside and onto the track. 'My head may hurt but I am very competitive. So I'm going to beat this lap as fast as I can!' Without warning, I shoot out of my siblings' grips. I hear them cry out in surprise and start chasing after me.
Dipper collapses soon after.

~~Diary Entry~~
9-25-12
The bus ride home was horrible. A pounding headache doesn't help with motion sickness so I practically squeezed my triplets' hands the entire time. When we finally got off at our stop, I literally booked it from that vehicle to my bedroom and threw myself under the covers. I think I fell asleep after that because when I woke, it was past dinner time and Mabel was coloring with a simple lamp on.
The second day of school was worse than the first, shockingly, but I think I made a new friend. Aiden...unless he just wanted to say hi and that's it.... I dunno, I would't be surprised if he doesn't, though.
Crap, Mabel is eating Smile Dip again.
Macie Pines~~
I hope you all enjoyed this chapter! What do you think of Aiden? Nathan? Reviews are my life essence!
Also, did anybody figure out the three character Easter Eggs from last chapter? Lemme know ;)
