arguments and barbara having rizz?

y/n/n = your nickname

"What kind of nerd breaks into a museum?" The photographer asks rhetorically to one of the gaurds "Move to the middle." He orders Toby, the boy complies. As he takes the pictures Toby does some poses "Okay, come on. No, stop!" The photographer orders as Toby poses close to the camera "Next!" he yells. I walk to the middle holding the sign up with a bored expression resisting the urge to hold the middle finger up. The photographer groans , I raise my eyebrow im question only to see Toby photobombing causing me to snicker. After Jims photo where me and Toby photobombed we were finally released.

Barbara offered to bring me home since my mom didnt show up... per usual. Once I eventually got my phone back from the police I checked my messages seeing one from my mother saying "Sorry our late again! There are some leftovers in the fridge, if you need something call me or Barbara. Love ya!❤️" I roll my eyes at the message 'So she doesnt know yet.. of course she doesnt shes more focus on buisness stuff more then her daughter getting arrested.'

I was now in Barbara's car re reading the message over and over again gripping my phone from anger to the point my knuckles were turning white. Thats when my phone buzzed.

master chef💙⚔️: "You ok?"

I look to the passenger seat then to the rear-view mirror to see a familiar pair of blue eyes looking at me in concern. I smile and reply.

y/n/n🤍🏹: "yea, thanks😊"

Jim knows how much my mother not being there most of the time effects me, his mother isn't there all the time either but she tries her best.. unlike mine. It's almost like she abandoned me with my dad sometimes... We then look over to the station to see Barbara and Stickler come out, they stop to talk as we watch with curious eyes.

"I mean, who else do you think is hiding an evil troll face? Coach Lawrence? Steve?" Toby starts listing before gasping "What if Strickler's one of them?" He says slowly, rethinking his whole life. "Strickler's been teaching history at Arcadia Oaks High since the dawn of history. If he's one, I'm one." Jim rationalized. We look to see Toby actually considering it. Jim scoffs while I roll my eyes. Jim then snatches Toby's phone out of his hands looking at the picture Toby took of the mysterious bridge, I also look at the phone and examining the very poor quality picture. "I know where I've seen this bridge... It's the same one that Blinky was talking about." I say.

"What? The Killa-thingy bridge? That's like, ancient history, right?" Toby questions "They're trying to break Gunmar out. This is bad guys! Like, "Goodby, Arcadia" bad. As soon as we get home, we're going to Blinky." Jim declares. Barbara then gets into the car.

"You really didn't have to go through all this trouble, Mr. Strickler." She says as Strickler comes up leaning on the open window at Jims seat. "Please, Walter. I'm sorry we had to meet under this unfortunate circumstance." Strickler says looking to Jim with a disappointed look. "There must be some way I can repay you. Coffee? Dinner? Appendix removal?" Barbara jokes as me Jim and Toby shared a confused look. Strickler laughs "Coffee would be a delight. And a rain check on the appendectomy." He says. "Looking forward to it, Walter" Barbara smiles. Barbara and Strickler just look at each other for a second some tension rising between them, and not the bad kind unfortunately, before Strickler broke the silence. "Watch yourself, Young Atlas. Next time, the consequences could be more severe." he then walks away.

"Did you seriously just ask my teacher out on a date?" Jim asks in disbelief. "Oh don't make this about me. You guys broke into a museum! And for this?" Barbara says angrily, glancing at each of us before focusing on Jim. "You are grounded until you apologize to that woman." she exclaims as she starts the car and takes a deep breath "You got me?" she asks sternly turning to Jim. "Yes, Mom.." Jim replies "Yes Dr. Lake." Me and Toby apologize.

Once I get home I finally see that my moms car is there for once. I walk inside to see my pacing mother in the kitchen, as soon as she sees me she runs over and engulfs me in a hug. "Oh y/n! Where have you been?!" She exclaims before releasing. I roll my eyes "Well mom if you really must know I got arrested." I say with a angry tone. She pauses before laughing but then stopping when she sees I'm not laughing "What?" she says in a serious tone. "Yea mom, and you didnt show up so Jim's mom brought me home. Gee you don't pay attention to anything in my life." I say getting angrier by the second. "Y/n you know I work. Anyways this is getting off topic, what did you do?" she asks. "Broke into a museum." I answered in a bored tone. "A museum?! Y/n L/n what is wrong with you?!" she exclaims crossing her arms and looking to me in disappointment. "Whats wrong with me?! Maybe its the fact that my own mother isn't there for me?! I swear sometimes it feels like you abandoned me too!" tears start to well in my eyes as I see me mothers facial expression goes from angry to sad.

I scoff and run upstairs to my room, slamming the door behind me, a few tears escaping my eyes. I quickly wipe it once I hear something thrown at my window. I look to my window to see a little pebble being thrown, I go over and open the window to see Jim and Toby waiting for me. "C'mon jump we'll catch you!" Jim whispers yells knowing its not that long of a drop. I look back to into my room "Bye mom." I whisper to no one, my voice quivering a bit. I then turn and jump out Jim and Toby catching me and helping me stand up once I was steady. "Alright lets head to trollmar-" Jim starts saying but stops mid sentence, I look to see him staring at me in concern. Thats when I noticed another tear escaped my eyes, I quickly wipe it "I dont wanna talk about it.." I say quietly. Jim nods understanding, I went to grab my bike then we all peddled to Trollmarket in a comfortable silence.
