The nurse concluded that it was just a sprain, nothing too severe, and advised that it was best to not irritate it for a few days. After the little trip to the nurse's office, Lynn offered to buy you lunch to make up for ruining your first day by already spending it in the nurse's office.

You politely declined, not wanting to make her feel that she has to constantly make it up to you. Although she was disappointed, she let it go, not wanting to upset you in any way. She had already seen you injured, so she certainly doesn't want to experience you being upset.

Lynn liked talking with you and she wanted to contribute more, wishing to interact with you daily. However with the thought of rejection looming in the back of her mind and her words became shriveled up in her throat.

So with a deep exhale, Lynn looks at you. "Hey, do you mind if I get your number?"

And just like that, Lynn found another way to talk to you more frequently.

The athletic girl felt extremely uneasy as soon as that question left her lips, her mind consumed with overwhelming thoughts. Her heart was beating uncontrollably and she wouldn't be too surprised if you could have heard it as well. It felt like forever as she waited for your reply.

"Why?" You asked the Loud girl.

"Just wanna get to know you, is that such a crime?" She insisted, tilting her head with a teasing glint in her eyes.

You rolled your eyes, pulled out your phone from your back pocket, and handed it to her and she did the same. Little did you know that Lynn did a mental victory dance at her success. During the middle of your exchange of numbers, Gabriella walks up to you, interrupting your time with Lynn.

"There you were, I was looking all over for you," Gabriella said before noticing the cast when you handed Lynn back her phone and retrieved your own back. "What happened to your wrist?"

For some reason, you looked down at your bandaged-covered wrist again, somehow forgetting its existence in the short timespan that you've had it.

"This one," you nudge your head in Lynn's direction, "had hit me with a ball so I had to go to the nurse."

"Guilty as charged." Lynn holds her hands in surrender, a playful smile tugs her lips.

Gabriella looks her up and down, eyes slanted with an unpleasant smile on her face. Feeling slightly intimidated by her, Lynn looks over to you, hoping that you would reassure your friend.

"Gab, it was an honest mistake." You finally spoke with a small smile. "It was my fault really, I wasn't looking where I was going."

Unknowingly when Gabriella eventually looked at you, Lynn blinked her eyes rapidly a couple of times and released a breath that she didn't know was pent-up inside. Oh, Gabriella can be scary when she wants to be.

'Remind me to never get on her bad side.' Lynn thought.

Just then another girl walks up to you with a matching outfit to Lynn's. She must be a part of the baseball team as well.

"Hey, Lynn, where were you? Coach's losing his shit."

"At the nurse's office." Lynn subtly gestures toward you.

Margo exclaims, shock displaying on her face. "Oh shit, that was you. Hope you didn't get seriously hurt."

"No it's fine, just got a sprain." You assured the dark-haired girl, showing your bandaged-covered wrist to her.

"Come on, now you must be pretty special already." Margo teases as she wraps her arms around you and Lynn. Staring at you two back and forth as her smirk appears on her face. "Don't tell me that Lynn already has a girlfriend!"

She turns to look at you, tuning her voice down to a whisper, "Cause Lynn doesn't ditch baseball practice for just anyone."

Your eyes widen as Lynn pushes Margo off of the both of you.

"Ok, Margo I was perfectly fine with her being unaware of that." She said curtly, her eyes still not meeting yours but her friend's. Very vaguely, you spotted a deep crimson red across Lynn's cheeks but brushed over the observation, purely pinning the blame on your faulty eyesight.

"Oh dang, really!!" Margo complained, stomping her feet like a child, "Well that tiny secret is out of the bag." she shrugs bashfully, seemingly ignoring Lynn's annoyed face.

Being uneasy with the pair of watchful eyes, mainly directed by her best friend, Margo speaks up and claps her hands together. "Seems that I'm no longer wanted so I'll just take my exit." She begins to walk away before stopping midway, turning around, and pointing to Lynn. "And also Lynn, coach said to be back in 5 minutes or your ass is grass." With that, Margo saunters off, retreating to practice.

You turned towards Lynn who has an embarrassed expression on her face. "Sorry about her." She awkwardly scratches her neck, still relieving her embarrassment.

"No worries, it's fine besides she's funny." She chuckles seeing you smile from your comment. Lynn places her red cap on your head, securing it comfortably to assess your braids' standard.

"Woah! Woah!" you backtrack, gripping onto her arm midday, currently halting her from placing the cap on your head. "What are you doing?"

She shrugs your hand off of her arm and continues. "That's my lucky cap and I'm placing it on your head, so don't lose it." Lynn gave her cap one last tug on your head.

"If you don't want it getting lost then don't give it to me." You would be surprised by how much shit that I've lost."

You started to remove the cap from your head but a soft hand stops you. Looking up you notice Lynn's hand on top of yours in a caressing manner. Butterflies instantly swarm up in your stomach by the simple physical touch, you shouldn't be this lovesick already. But the temptation was too much of a struggle to refrain from gazing back into Lynn's olive-green eyes. Her eyes were so stunning, so inviting and alluring that you found yourself melting in them.

"No, keep it, then that will be another reason to find you tomorrow. Besides, I'd never get anything done without my lucky charm."

For some reason, Lynn wanted to be the girl with the last lingering look and you foolishly allowed it, being charmed by her beautiful smile. Walking backward slightly as a wide grin creeps up onto her face, watching your flustered state, fully aware that she was the reason for it.

If only you knew how much you altered her ego.

"I'm telling you now, loud. I've lost things faster than I can remember."

By the time you finished your sentence, Lynn had already disappeared, probably making her way back to baseball practice.

"Lunch's soon over, let's hurry up and get you something to eat," Gabriella suggests with an affirmative smile as you both leave for the cafeteria.

The rest of the school day went by fast and before you knew it your chauffeur had already dropped you and Madison home. Your first day of school was tolerable so hopefully, it remains like that for the rest of the school year. Only you and Madison were home at this time. Despite just moving into this town, your parents planned their job preparation beforehand and were quick to be back on their feet, rushing to resume their careers. Your parents admired their jobs as a lawyer and a therapist, but never put their work above family.

Of course, your parents wouldn't be home till after 5, so you were free for the time being.

Cassandra might be at the most expensive spa in Royal Woods, blabbering new gossip to the employees, getting a kick out of the drama. So her absence was the least of your worries.

After changing into your tennis uniform, you headed down to your outdoor tennis court and practiced for a good 25 minutes. Although you were right-handed, you needed to use your left hand due to your sprained right wrist. In a way using your left hand had gained you some knowledge that you played slower than usual.

You had an upcoming tournament down at the country club and with your persistence to always win, you were doing exceptionally well, perhaps even better with your left hand.

You regularly tended to tire yourself out frequently and Madison was always there with a bottle of water alongside a snarky comment telling you to go shower.

Your shower was refreshing as it was long, just the way you liked it. You decided to change into something comfier to suit the mood. Tying up your braids in a ponytail, using your white fuzzy headband as an additional accessory to connect your whole outfit.

Heading downstairs to get a snack to quench your hunger, your phone went off, indicating that someone is messaging you. You didn't acknowledge the message until you grabbed your favorite snack and a bottle of water from the pantry, venturing back upstairs to your bedroom. With a relaxed sigh, you jumped on your bed, quickly discarding your bag of chips and bottled water on your queen-sized mattress, and opened up your phone.

*baseball girl ⚾️❤️ liked your message*

During your conversation with Lynn, you opened your bag of chips and began eating them, giggling in between chews whenever Lynn's texts were hilarious.

Just then, you hear your doorbell ring and Madison shouts, "Get the door, [name]!"

You groaned rolling your eyes as you forcefully moved away from your bed and walked downstairs. On the way to the door, you began to practice your fake smile, drained of all your energy from today, so, therefore, your patience was running thin.

Pesky neighbors weren't on your schedule for this week, maybe they'd be tolerable the following week after.

Opening the front door, you were met with a family, all dressed in their personalized clothing. "Hi, how may I he—" All of a sudden, you recognized a familiar face as your eyebrows furrowed in confusion. "Wait, Lynn is that you?"

At the mention of her name, she turns to look at you, her eyes widening once she realizes your voice. "Holy shit, [name]? You live here??" Lynn asks, bewilderment covering her features. "I just thought that you were the new girl, not the rich new girl."

"Language, sweetheart." The blonde woman chastised through gritted teeth at her athletic daughter, her attention not wavering at all.

"It's kinda hard not to when we're at a freaking mansion," Lynn exclaims.

"Hello there, we live three houses down from you, I'm Lynn Loud Sr." the brunette man introduces himself with a smile and pointed to the woman beside him, "She's my wife, Rita Loud and these are all of our kids."

Consider yourself shocked by there being a total of eleven children in your presence.

"We just wanted to stop by and introduce ourselves as kind neighbors." Rita chuckles, clutching onto a basket full of cookies and handing them to you in a friendly gesture, "This is welcome to the neighborhood basket."

"Baked it myself." the father gleefully speaks as you accept the basket.

You looked down in the basket, inspecting the freshly baked chocolate chip cookies. "Thanks for the delicious dessert basket, and I'll make sure that my family enjoys it." You nodded in amusement, your attention focused on the insanely large family who was all just staring back at you.

Being accustomed to having the attention of many people, you weren't easily creeped out as more of being flattered.

"Have a good day!" you shouted as you closed the door, seeing them leave the premises.

"Who was that at the door?" your sister finally walks in, eyeing the basket of cookies in your possession, "More importantly what did they bring?"

"One of our new family neighbors who live three houses down," You informed her as you wandered into the kitchen. Once in the kitchen, you rest the basket on the kitchen counter.

Madison followed you into the kitchen, the sweet scent of the cookies luring her in. You opened the fridge, took out the milk and Madison grabbed two glasses from the cupboard. pouring two glasses of milk, you enjoyed it with the warm cookies, savoring the taste in your mouth.

In much less than an hour, you and your sister devoured all of the cookies that were in the basket, only the crumbs left as evidence. Well...you stayed true to your word, the cookies were delicious and at least half of your family enjoyed them.

Later that evening, your parents and older sister returned home with the greasy smell of take-out.

Keeping your promises, you informed your parents at the dinner table. "Our new neighbors, the louds gave us a welcome basket."

"Oh, that was so sweet of them." your mom coos, taking a sip of her wine.

"Maybe we could have them over for dinner as a thank you." your dad implies. You nodded along in agreement, thinking if you should tell Lynn in advance or let her find out from her parents. Ehh...you kinda wanna see how that one will play out.

Soon after finishing your dinner, you made your way back to your room. Laying up in your bed, your phone sets off a notification and your eyes light up at the messenger, immediately unlocking your phone as you begin to start typing.

new girl ☺️❤️
those cookies were so delicious

baseball girl ⚾️❤️
it would have been nice to give me a heads up

new girl ☺️❤️

baseball girl ⚾️❤️
