Monstercat High (Fanfic of a Fanfic)

Chapter 15- Brothers

(Laura'sPOV)
...
"We need Laura Brehm in the office please." The announcer says over the intercom. "Sure thing." Rootkit replied. I looked at him expectantly. "You heard the man! Go! And take all your stuff with you." I nod, gather all my things, shove them in my book bag, and walk out the door. "Wonder what this is about..." I murmur to myself aimlessly.

(Rebel'sPOV)
"We need Rebel up in the office please." Monstercat says over the intercom. My partner, Rezonate, shoots me a glance with an eyebrow raised. I hold my hands up in surrender. "Take all of your stuff with you." Dillon says. "We'll be transitioning in ten minutes." Kazmo chimes in. I nod and throw my things into my book bag. "You need some help with your book bag?" Rezonate asks. "No, I'm fine. Thanks though." I say with a smile. I'm used to being stubborn and not realizing it. "I need to get out of this class before my head explodes, Rebel." He pleads. I give in. "Ok." "Dillon, I'm going to help Rebel with her books. Can you write me a pass?" "Yep." A few moments later, Rezonate came over to me, shoving a sticky note in his pocket. I hand him my book bag and we start on our way to the office.

(Laura's POV)
On my way to the office, I run into Rebel and Rezonate. "Hey Laura!" Rebel calls from down the hallway. "Hey Rebel!" I wave and wait for them to catch up. "What brings you to the hallways of this fine school?" Rezonate asks in a posh voice. We giggle. "I got called up in class. What about you guys." "I got called up too. Rez just wanted to get out of class." Rebel answers. "It's not my fault Trance is boring." "Ha! Thank you!" Rebel exclaims as we round the corner. I look up and gasp. "Nathan!!" I practically yell. I jump in my older brother's arms. "Hey, Laura!" He chuckles. "Shawn!!" I hear Rebel screech. I look up and see a huge guy, Shawn, picking Rebel up and spinning her around. Rebel was a giggling mess. "Nathan, this is Rebel," I point to said person. "and that's Rezonate." They both give small waves. "Hey, I'm gonna run back to the dorm and put my stuff up. Give me your book bag." "Ok. One: Rebel, you can't even walk! Two: we have to go back to class." Rebel opened her mouth to shoot back a smart-ellec reply, but Principle Monstercat interrupted. "I'm excusing you from your classes for the day." He says, handing us each a sticky note. "Wow. You let us off the hook reall-" Rebel slaps a hand over my mouth before I could finish. "tHANK YOU PRINCIPLE MONSTERCAT." She says, exaggerating a smile. He smirks. "Go before I change my mind." We giggle.

(Rebel'sPOV)
"Aren't you going to introduce me to your little friend here?" Shawn asks. "Oh! Shawn, this is Laura, Laura, this is Shawn." They both shake hands and exchange greetings. "I'm going to the dorm. You guys wanna come with?" Laura looks to Nathan and he nods. I glance over at Shawn and he nods also.
...
As I unlock the door, Shawn asks, "So.. where's this little 'boyfriend' of yours?" I face-palm and Laura laughs. "Oh, you mean Tris-" "LAURA I SWEAR." "Whaaaat? I just want to tell your big brother about your wonderful boyfriend Tri-" "Laura, my ankle may still be broken but I can and will kick your a-" "Don't hurt yourself." She chuckles, patting me on the back. I roll my eyes and set my stuff down on the bottom bunk. I sit down and pull out a soda from the fridge. "I'm going to give you a tour of the school... whenever you're ready I guess." I say to Shawn. "We could go now if you want?" "Yeah. Gym or dining hall first?" I ask, already knowing the answer. "Gym." He answers. I stand, grab my crutches and open the door. "We shall return!" I say to Laura, who was showing Nathan some of her vocal work. "Catch ya later!" They say simultaneously. I chuckle. Anyone could guess that they were related.
....
"Here's the gym." I say as we stop in front of the double doors. I gaze in through the tall, narrow window, feeling thankful that I don't have to sprint back and forth five times, stop, drop and do ten push ups, then do it all again. "Where to next?" I say, taking my eyes off the gym. "Dining hall?" I glance at the clock above the gym door, regretting not grabbing my glasses. "Lunch will be in session in... five minutes." I say. "Good. I'm hungry." Just then, the bell rang.
...
I open the door to the lunch room and Shawn holds it for me as I.. uhhh.. let's just say "semi-walk" in. I glance around, praying that Tristam skipped lunch. Nope. I look straight ahead to see him laughing with Noisestorm, Braken, Hope, Laura, Nathan, and Razihel; our usual group. "Let's grab a seat." Shawn suggests with a smile. I smile back and nod. We were walking to a table away from my friends, until Noisestorm calls my name. I mentally face-palm and turn around, heading for them. "Is that him?" Shawn asks, pointing towards Noisestorm. I shake my head no. He puts a, surprisingly, gentle hand on my shoulder. "Look, you don't have to be nervous. It's not like I'm gonna kill him or anything. You can tell me." He says sincerely. A small part of my didn't believe that he wasn't going to kill Tristam. "That's him." I say, pointing to Tristam. He was laughing as Noisestorm pulled his beanie over his friend's head, making Tristam's black hair fall over his eyes. Only then did I realize that we had stopped, and that I was almost shaking, in fear of loosing yet another loved one. "Hey," Shawn murmurs, wrapping me in a warm hug. I always loved his hugs. "I'm not going to take him away from you. But I'll beat his ass if he ever breaks your heart." I smile. "Don't worry. I told him that when we first started dating." "That's my girl. Now go introduce me!" I walk to the table and sit down next to Noisestorm and Tristam, Shawn sat down in front of me next to Laura and Hope. Tristam and Shawn shake hands and talk for a while. They seemed to be getting along really well, which relived me. "Hey, does she still freak out when you tickle her?" Shawn asks Tristam. "She never told me she was.. ticklish.." Tristam says with a devious smirk on his face. "Tristam don't do it." His smirk grows into a smile as he gets impossibly closer to me. "No. No no no no no no n-" I'm cut off as he begins to tickle me. "Stop!!" I screech through a laugh. Shawn runs around to the other side of the table and joins in. "Shawn!! Tristam!!" I cry, laughing so hard I could barely breathe. Tears were streaming down my face by the time they stopped. "Jerks.." I grumble as I take my seat. I glance around and see that everyone's face is red from laughing so hard. I giggle, still out of breath.
...
(Laura'sPOV)
Once Rebel came in and introduce her brother to the group, and got off the ground, she asks me, "When are you gonna introduce Josh to Nathan?" Nathan looks at me with an eyebrow raised. "Josh?" "Rebel. I freaking swear.." "Don't hurt yourself." She laughs. "Josh is my boyfriend." I say gingerly. "Well, let's go! I wanna meet him!!" Nate exclaims. He took it better than I thought. As we were standing up, Principle Monstercat got on stage and called for attention. "He's listing off the days announcements. After we get our trays I'll take you to him." Nate nods and we sit back down. "First off, I would like to congradulate Rich Edwards and Danyka Nadeau with their new Progressive House song: We Are!" The dining hall erupts into cheers. "Next, I am pleased to announce that we have a new student joining us today. Students of Monstercat High, please give a warm welcome to Glitch!" The room erupts into applause, whistles, and chants. "Glitch is only fourteen, our youngest Monstercat artist ever!!" The room goes into an uproar of cheers. "Woo!!!" I shout. "Glitch specializes in Glitch-hop, Electro and Nu Disco. His first song is scheduled to be released on Friday. That's all the announcements for today. Everyone have a great day."
...
Josh and Nate hit it off real well, luckily. I guess I'll have to cross killing Rebel off of my to-do list. Later in the evening, a little before Shawn and Nathan had to leave, Nathan and I took a walk. Rebel and Shawn did too, they took a different route around the school, though. "So.. how bout that Josh kid?" Nate says as he nudges me. "Did you like him?" I ask hopefully. "Yeah! If he was in college with me we'd probably be really good friends. He's cool." "Good." I giggle. "He really loves you, y'know." He says with a wink. "And I love him too." I say. A warm smile spreads across my face. I never really realized how much he loved me, vise versa. When I looked up, the sinking sun was turning everything to scarlet. 'Ha! The Scarlet Dusk!' I joke in my head. Really Laura? You've come to that? "Aww man. I need to get going." Nate says, scowling at his watch. "No! Can't you stay a bit longer??" I plead. "I'm sorry, Laura. I wish I could." "I love you, Nate." I say, pulling him in for a hug. "I love you too, girl." He says into my hair. "I'll call you when I get to campus." "Ok, I'll see you!" "See ya!" He calls, getting into his car. "Bye..." I murmur as he drives off. A dog barked in the distance as I walked back up to the big double doors. "Love you.."
