This world will never be
What I expected
And if I don't belong
Who would have guessed it?

Luan let out a deep breath, one she didn't know she was holding in. Her hand on the doorknob leading to her dorm. Her first year of college, she was excited exactic in fact but she couldn't bring herself to turn the knob. She was informed that she will have a dorm at Arc. She did some research of the building and the dorms and was left in awe. Sure she would be sharing a 4 bedroom and 2 bath with 5 others but it was amazing what Columbia College was providing for her. She was given a full ride scholarship for their school, the only thing she need to pay was her dorm, which is a bit pricey but her website Luan out Loud would be able to pay for it.
Finally shaken off the nerves she opens the door and steps into her dorm. Walking around and half hoping her dormmates have already arrived. When she turned the corner, she saw a great view of the city, it was breathtaking, she saw the city of Chicago, one of the most busiest cities in America.
She place her bags on the side admiring the view from the living room, she couldn't wait to see the rooms.
"Ahem," a voice said, causing Luan to quickly turn around.
5 people standing in front of her, 3 guys and 2 girls.
"You must be Luan, I'm Josh." The male said offering his hand to Luan, he was quite tall with blond hair and blue eyes.
"Hi!"She shook his hand politely, turning to the next person.
She felt arms wrapped around her almost knocking the wind out of her. "I'm Mari, it's nice to meet you!" She was shorter than Luan, around 5'4" with navy blue hair and green eyes and was quite friendly.
"You're quite the hugger," she laughs.
When she the girl finally let go she turned to the others, "Daniel," he spoke up from the rest. He gave her a polite wave, he was the tallest out of all of them with raven black hair and dark blue eyes, he pointed to the other man that look just like him just a tad shorter. "That's Drake, he's my twin brother. He's also mute, he can't talk but he can hear, may be difficult to talk to him." He pause, Luan saw Drake make some sort of hand gestures, "He says he's a big fan of your website. Even though he can't exactly laugh you bring him to tears, and believe me I seen it."
She smiles, "Hi Daniel," she faces Drake, giving him a few hand gestures as well, "Hi Drake! It's fan-tastic to meet you."
His eyes widen a bit, as well as his brothers, "You know sign language?! I haven't met many people that do!"
"Sure do, figured it can be useful to learn, also helps my mime act. I took a few classes at my high school and started to teach myself." She thoughtfully replied.
"How very mime-ful of you," he grins.
"Nice one!" She laughs giving him a high five which he gladly returns.
She turns to the last dormmate, a girl around her height with blonde hair and amber eyes, "I'm Abbie, it's nice to meet you."
"Same here," they don't seem that bad, who knows Luan, these can be your new best friends. She smiles at all of them, before remembering a question. "Oh have you guys chosen your bedrooms already?"
"Yup we're all settled, you have room B, me and Abbie will be in room A right next door!" Mari quips. "Hope you don't mind, we didn't know if you wanted some space to do you videos so we just gave you the room. The guys are down the hall in rooms C and D with their own bathroom thankfully!"
"Hey! What's that supposed to mean?!" Josh whines.
"It means what it means!" Abbie smirks.
"I would've never guess!" He mocks.
"Clearly~" The two continue to bicker, each trying to out voice the other.
She glance at Mari whispering to her, "Uh do you know when they'll stop?"
She giggles in return, "these two have been going at it since they arrived. The three of us went to school with each other, don't worry they mean no harm."
"They remind me of my siblings."
"Same here, but I guess they're like family. We went to the same elementary, highschool, and now college."
Luan let out a long whistle, "Is that a good thing or bad thing?"
She taps her chin, then smiles. "Both."
"I can tell we're going to get along just fine."
She laughs, "Ditto."
It was almost midnight, the lights of Chicago flickering for miles, and Luan couldn't remember when she had this much fun. They've been playing a game of questions, one Mari suggested. Similar to 20 questions except one person ask a question, sexual, personally, stupid, whatever it was. Everyone had to answer as well the questioner themselves. They've gotten to know each other's family, old school, schedules, what they want to major in, eventually some basic questions led to very sexual ones. Such as kinks, positions, and wet dreams.
It was a fun night, helping her get rid of all the jitters and butterflies.
"Alright last question," Daniel spoke up, "What's your greatest pick up line or pick up move?"
"Easy, Kissing is a language of love, so how about a conversation?" Josh wiggles his eyebrows, earning chuckles and blank stares.
"Lame, mine is, Want to get some air? You took my breath away!" Abbie exclaims.
Drake snaps his fingers getting the their attention, doing some hand motions that only Luan and his brother understood.
"What did he say?" Josh asks
"A better pick up line then you, he said, When I saw you, I lost my tongue. Can I put yours in my mouth?" Leaving the others with jaws on the floor, causing Drake to shrug.
"Mine turn! If I had a star for everytime you brighten my day, I'd have a galaxy!" Mari beams.
"That was actually pretty good, but not as good as mine! Guess what I'm wearing? The smile you gave me!" Daniel smirks. "Think you can top that Luan?" He teases.
"Yup, but I need to borrow someone!" She gets up from the floor, sitting next to Mari, "hope you don't mind Mari?"
"Of course not, go ahead!" She assures her.
"Let's count shoulders." She grins sitting on her left.
"Sure!" She innocently looks up at her, almost making Luan feel guilty, almost.
"One," Luan puts her right hand on her left shoulder, "Two," she moves her hand on her other shoulder. "Three," now placing her hand on Mari's left shoulder. "Four!" Her hand was now on the smaller girl's farthest shoulder, her am wrap around her.
She heard several Oooh's as well as clapping.
"Nice one Luan!" Josh shouts, "where you learn that from?"
She laughs a bit, unwrapping her arms around Mari. "My sister Luna use that move on someone she liked, when she told us about it it was passed down in my family, and majority of my family use it since it's so smooth." She remembered the day well, ever since Luna taught them her moves the Loud's were known to be really smooth and good at flirting.
"Well I think you won this one, that is one hell of a good move!" Abbie states, "Well I'm off to bed, and hell starts tom-later today, don't want to be late." She gives her goodbyes leaving their living room.
Everyone else agreed each heading to their rooms, Luan was so caught up with her friends that she didn't finish unpacking. A problem for tomorrow, she thinks. Lying in her bed she drifts off, trying her best not to think about her first day.
Many people were chatting away as they made their way to class, most likely upperclassman, making Luan more nervous, she was heading toward English. It's not like she wanted to take the class but it was a requirement for her career, but it was college trying to take her money. Lucky for her she didn't have to pay one cent, take that college!
She walk at a steady pace, admiring the halls and the view out the window. Columbia College was a great school, it wasn't too far from home either. It was better for her to enroll here then somewhere across the world. She has grown as a person, more considerate with her pranks, not going to wild but doing small pranks at times. She doesn't make a pun or joke too often, when she does she doesn't ask if someone gets it, curtsy to Luna for that. She's gotten slightly taller, not an excessive amount but she was taller than most girls. She's around the 3rd tallest, Luna being the 2nd tallest and Lori still towering everyone. She was the same height as Leni though, maybe a few centimeters taller. Lynn was catching up, almost passing her, just waiting for the late growth spurt. Lincoln was almost towering everyone though, he's barely a sophomore but he's passed Luna and getting close to passing Lori.
As for the rest of her siblings, they've grown a lot. Lucy a bit behind Lynn. The twins arguing who is getting taller, yet Lola doesn't want to admit Lana is taller than her by a centimeter. Lisa is reaching the age where she no longer needs a stool to reach her desk, but no one pokes fun at her since she not only outsmarts them all but she is very important to the government working on who knows what. And Lily has grown a lot, taking her first sentence, no longer needing diapers and starting actual school, no more naps, toys, or fun. Okay she may have fun but not as much fun as eating sweets and later sleeping.
She reach the 6th floor, skimming through the halls looking for her class, avoiding other students who are talking amongst each other. She was also looking for Mari, she said that she had english together, they were going to go with each other but the girl needed to run some arrons around the city. Luan would've gone but she doesn't know the city well enough, and since it was Mari's hometown she didn't want the girl dragging her around or looking for her if she got lost.
"Aha!" Luan almost yells, she was now in front of her class. She opens the door and step into the room. It was a small room, similar to a highschool classroom but with windows everywhere and it was in the 6th floor.
She sat near the windows, but close to the front. Many other students came into the class, others leaving right after. She was early by 10 minutes, she was kicking herself, I should've gotten some coffee.
The best part about college is probably nothing for many students, but Luan couldn't wait for the new experience. She began to doodle on the desk, drawing several haha's and a few jokes. I really hope this is the write move, she writes, chuckling to herself. Soon Mari joined her right after, they chat for a bit before class began.
"Just one more year," the black hair girl mumbles. "Sigh, one more long year with these people."
"They're not that bad," Rocky points out.
She look at him, giving him a skeptical look, "Okay they are bad," he admits.
She lets out a tiny scoff, grinning at her boyfriend. Funny, if someone were to say she was dating someone who wasn't a vampire or dead she would convince them otherwise. But she actually found someone who understood her. Of course the two talked from time to time, but it wasn't official until Lucy turned 13, once Lucy was allowed to finally start dating. Her father said at the age 18 for everyone of his little girls, but her mother was able to convince him to tone it down to the age 16 for Lori when she started to date Bobby. Then it went down more with the whole fiasco with Lincoln and each of the girls getting love interest because of the letter that they mistaken was for them. Now at the age of 13 you were given the birds and the bee's lesson, which she received. It wasn't that bad for her, mostly because Lynn Sr. was struggling to phrase the situation to her. He ended up making up a whole different name, the bat's and the cat's, he phrased it. Causing her to face to burn, from embarrassment for herself and her father.
"I just want it to be Halloween already, we can scare the whole school again!" He wraps his arm around her shoulders, "I can see it already Luce, fake blood everywhere!"
"We got a whole month of planning, I was thinking something with demons and zombies?" She questions, "Or is that too much?"
He shakes his head, "Nope that sounds perfect, I'm sure your sister's are going to help out, I'll ask a few people to help." He pauses for a bit, "you think we'll get in trouble again like last year?"
She shrugs, that's a good enough answer for him. "Sigh I'll see you in after Algebra," she says as they walk in the building.
"Alright, I'll save you a seat at English in the back," he says as they separate heading different directions.
Lucy walked into the class, arriving early, she sat all the way in the back, took out her notebook and a few other books. Jotting down new lines in her poems whenever she got inspired by one of her poetry books.
"Hey Lucy," she looks up from her book, seeing Silas taking a seat besides her. "How are the poems going?"
"Well, just trying to read some Edgar Allen Poe for some words," she declared. Silas and her were on good terms, they hung out a bit and got to know each other in 3rd and 4th grade. He's a good friend, nothing less and nothing more. She did like him for a bit but after realizing they had many similarities and agreeing that feelings were weak (mostly because they were very young) and they shouldn't have any feelings they decided not to date. She did the same with Rocky, but the boy was persistent and she finally gave in. After a few dates, she didn't really mind having feelings for him, she still felt icky about them but she convinced herself that if vampires can have romantic love interest then so can she.
"Raven," he nods in approval, "Heads up, pesky girl up ahead.
A girl with brunette hair and brown eyes approach the two, instantly Lucy scowls."Well if it isn't the two goths!" She exclaims, causing a few people to stop their conversations and turn towards her direction. Great, attention, just what I need, Lucy rolls her eyes.
"Elizabeth," she sneers. "Why don't you just change your name to Macbeth? You are a tragedy waiting to happen."
Several Oooh's were heard, some understanding the joke, some just feeling like it's right for the moment.
"Now Lucy," Silas interrupts, no emotion in his raspy voice. "Do not offend such a good play with her name."
A small smile forms on Lucy's face seeing Elizabeth's face turn red from anger. "Apologies Silas, Shakespeare wouldn't appreciate his work being compared like that."
As Elizabeth open her mouth to speak the bell rang and the teacher came walking in, causing her to uff in frustration. "This isn't over, " she hisses heading to her seat.
She gives Silas a nod of gratitude for helping her out, one he returns.
This year won't be too bad, the girl thought.
"I'm a transfer student, I'm Rolanda Santiago, but I prefer to be called Ronnie Anne."
It kept repeating and repeating in Lincoln's mind, like a broken record player. He couldn't say anything for the remaining minutes, finally calling time and asking for the class attention again. Still Lincoln was zoned out, so many questions ran through his head.
When did she come back? What happen in the city? How did I recognize her before? Is she dating-
His eyes widen, he glances at her, Are the rumors true? Is she dating Chandler? Lincoln felt his heart drop, he didn't know why but a lot him prays that Rusty just got false information. He can't imagine his elementary best friend (excluding Clyde) date someone he dislikes.
Ronnie Anne raise an eyebrow, noticing Lincoln staring at her, causing him too quickly turn his head. She was a bit upset and frustrated with him, she finally came home hoping to see her old friends as well as him and when she finally says Hi he completely shuts down. A lot of her wanted to sock him in the face for not saying anything to her and just staring. A very small part of her wanted to hug him, but she quickly dismissed the thought remembering that he was the guy that bumped into her in the morning.
He has grown, even though they were sitting at the moment she remembers when they crashed, he basically towered her. His outfit choice a bit too, he had some rip jeans, a black leather jacket and an orange shirt underneath. But what bothered her the most was he covered his white hair with a black beanie. She always like his white hair, it made him stand out, made him different, it made him special. Why on earth is he covering it up?
"Alight class you may discuss with your partners about the rules, if any questions then ask me. We only have 10 minutes left of class, once you're done you may talk amongst yourselves." announces.
A few people shuffle and move around, the quiet class fill with chatter about the latest gossip, summer, or whatever can be said in a conversation.
Lincoln can feel Ronnie Anne's eyes staring at her, he was half hoping that she wouldn't want to talk to him. But the other half wants to talk to his best friend again. He lets out a sigh before shifting his body and facing her. "Hi," he sheepishly says.
"Hi? After 30 minutes the best you can say it Hi?" She glares at him.
Lincoln gulps, this is how I'm going to die. "I don't really know what to say, I mean it's been years since we talked. And even more since we seen each other." He rubs the back of his neck, "to be fair I didn't think you'll be coming back and you kind of change, I-In a good way of course!"
She shook her head, "Yeah, I didn't think I'll be coming back either. And you change too, in a good way." She playfully jokes, earing a chuckle from him.
"Why did you come back?" He asks.
Ronnie Anne looks away, avoiding his gaze. "You don't have to tell me if you want." He suggests.
"Thanks, I'll tell you eventually just now isn't the best time." She softly spoke.
Lincoln places a hand on her shoulder, "It's alright, if you don't mind I like to ask you a few questions."
"Shoot."
He's hesitant for a bit, maybe it wasn't an appropriate time. The hell with it Lincoln, just get it over with. He gulps, "Are you and Chandler dating?"
There was a pregnant pause, making Lincoln instantly regret asking the question. Before he can apologize Ronnie Anne burst into laughter, causing Lincoln to think many different answers.
She wipes a fake tear, "Who the heck told you that?! Wait let me guess, Rusty?"
Lincoln nods his head, for some reason he felt good, and thankful that Rusty was wrong again. He laughs alongside her cracking a few joke about Chandler and Rusty. After a bit their laughter died down, Lincoln couldn't help but smile.
"Why are you smiling Lame-o?" She asks.
His smile got wider, "I miss this, joking around, laughing at others, even the nicknames."
The Latina felt her cheeks get warm, she punches him in the arm, causing him to yell out an "Ow" while rubbing his arm. "You're turning soft on me Linc. Don't tell me you started to get mushy with me gone."
He laughs, "Maybe, but I'm serious, it's good to have you back."
She smiles herself, "It's good to be back."
"Hey! We should go the Gus' Games and Grub, you know for old times sake!" He nearly yells.
"Yeah, I'd like that, is Clyde and the others going to join us. It's been awhile since I've seen those dweebs."
"Yeah sure! If you want me and the guys are going to the computer lab to lay some advance combat, the teacher has some advance computers and doesn't mind if we play, we could really use someone like you on our squad." He offers her.
"As long as you dweebs don't hold me back then sure!" She teases.
"Hey just because we die in the game first and you some how clutch it doesn't make you the best," he chuckles a bit. "Okay maybe it does make you the best but we've gotten better!"
"I'll believe it when I see it," she smirks.
The two stare at each other for a bit, neither breaking eye contact, Ronnie Anne smirking and Lincoln smiling.
RING RING
The two snap out of it, realizing it was time to leave since several students walk out the door. "Come on! Don't want to be late," he exclaims grabbing Ronnie Anne's hand and rushing out the door. A slight blush forming on the two's faces.
saw them rush out the door, chuckling at their antics, "Young love. One of the most dangerous chemicals in the world. This is going to be a very interesting year.
"What took you guys so long!?" Clair jumps out of her seat when she sees Luna and Sam enter Keith's house. She was shorter compared Luna and Sam, she had dark brown hair with a pink streak similar to Sam's. With dark skin and brown hazel eyes.
"Now now Clair don't get your panites in a twist," Luna smirks, causing Sam to groan. She knew that joke wasn't aim towards Clair, instead it was aim towards herself.
"Let me guess, you two had a very great morning?" She rolls her eyes.
"Yup!" Luna smiles, wrapping her arm around Sam's waist.
"You took charge Luna?" She smirks.
"You know it," Luna's smile growing wider.
"You two are impossible," Sam groans escaping Luna's grasp.
"Come on luv, we're just joking around!" Luna grins.
"Yeah no hard feelings," Clair jokes, causing Luna to burst into laughter.
"Nice one!" She gives Clair a high five.
Sam rolled her eyes, before flipping them off, "I hate you guys," she walks away from the two. "I get that Luna and I aren't straight but really I say something stupid once and you two won't let it go."
The two continue to laugh, "It's our job to remind you," Clair says as they join her in Keith's backyard.
"Or you know, you just don't remind me," she rolls her eyes.
"Now where's the fun in that luv?" Luna asks sitting down on a chair, bringing Sam on her lap. She buries her face in her hair.
She rolls her eyes again before snuggling in Luna's lap, "So where's Alex and Keith?"
"We're right here!" Alex announces. He was the tallest of the group, with tan skin, brown hair and brown eyes. Keith right behind him a bit shorter than Alex, he had pale skin, green eyes and red hair . They both took a seat. "So what's the important news Clair?"
Her eyes sparkle a bit, "So I was talking to Chunk and we were talking about record deals, we have a few labels but after doing some research there's this event happening in Chicago two months from now. There's gonna be major record dealers there and many bands and uprising bands too!"
"That sounds great!" Keith exclaims, "do you know some of the labels?"
"Only a few announce they'll be at the show, but there are many others. I just got the email yesterday, and we have the 3rd and last performances!"
"Dude this is amazing!" Luna shouts, "We have only two months to practice!"
"No kidding, but how about today we just chill out, these next two months are going to be some hard work, a little relaxation sounds good now." Alex declares.
The rest of them agree, they all hung out talking to each other, and possible songs they perform, as well as jamming out to some of other people's music. It's been awhile since they all hung out with each other, usually everyone was busy doing their own things.
They sat around the bonfire Keith and Clair set up, enjoying the September breeze and the smell of burning wood. They made a few s'mores and joked around, a great night.
"To us guys!" Luna cheers, raising her marshmallow in the air.
They raise their marshmallows as well.
"To us!"

I have a weird updating schedule sorry, it's kind of random with me. Literally writing this chapter I was listening to "All I want for Christmas is You" on repeat. Why you may ask, I have no idea. Hope you guys enjoy and hopefully not too many grammar errors.
Around 4200 words! I'm getting slightly better, Luan's part was the longest, she's personally one of my favorites and the plot I have with her must be carefully written. If you may have guess Luna is another personal favorite, if you don't get some of the jokes it's alright, they're kind of inside jokes.
Thanks again, oh and I may write a possible christmas one shot but I'm debating pair or no pair, oh well I'll figure it out, probably.
