Opposite Attracts - Lynn Loud Jr

Chapter 7 - Dominated thoughts

Lynn's POV :

It had only been about a week since this Estella girl had moved to Royal Woods and she's already haunting me everywhere I go .

Class ? She was always there .

Outside of school ? She was right next door .

Back at home ? She was babysitting my younger siblings .

Finally out of my house ? My siblings kept talking about her .

Watching TV ? Her fucking interviews were airing .

I couldn't seem to get rid of her no matter where I went . Even my friends talked about her every once in a while . She was fucking friends with Maddie too .

According to her , "she got seated next to me in biology and she's like the nicest person I've ever met."

Even the english teacher kept fussing over her for goodness' sake and I was sick of it . I had every right to be mad at her when she can't seem to leave me the fuck alone and was basically killing me with kindness .

There was no way in hell she was actually that nice and intentionally gave out answers , smiled at me in the hallway , let me borrow her things and never seemed pissed at anything - it had to be a cover . She had to want something from me and all her other victims .

Estella Woodsen was not nice and I stand by my word . I had to get under her skin and make her snap .

On Tuesday morning , when my alarm rang at an ungodly hour , I questioned my entire existence : are morning jogs really that important in order to become a professional athlete ?

But then again , I always rethink my life choices at 5 AM then end up telling myself to suck it up and forcing myself to go anyways and today was not gonna be any different .

My morning routine was very important because I could get alot of stuff done and out of the way without the constant chatting and generally loud as fuck , hence our last name , existence of my siblings .

I got dressed in my workout clothes quietly , making sure not to wake anyone up . As far as I know , only Luna and Lucy are aware about my morning jogs and I'd like to keep it that way .

I had no wants to answer a thousand questions about where I was going at 5 in the fucking morning or have my parents lecture me about the risk of my actions .

I knew it was gonna happen eventually but that was a story for another day . Right now , my only task was to leave the house before diving right back in bed .

I successfully got out of the house and started my morning jog , it never failed to clear my mind and help me get rid of whatever was bothering me .

Well , that was until today . I expected my run to help me forget about my growing hatred towards a particular Australian currently dominating my thoughts but my whole plan fell to the ground when I saw no other than Estella Woodsen leaving her house in sports attire , water bottle in hand .

Fuck my life , this girl had to be onto something . Why was she even going on a jog anyways ? Wasn't she a dancer , figure skater or some shit - why the hell would she need to jog right now , at this hour .

I let out a sigh , put my airpods in and sped up , running towards God knows where , not even looking back when I heard the girl speak up , trying to greet me .

I could always give some sort of excuse , maybe "I was blasting music and didin't hear you " or the simple " Iwasn't paying attention" or some shit .

I don't know what I was gonna say but that was something I had no wants to think about at the moment .

I failed . I failed to clear my thoughts , failed to think of an excuse and failed to stop thinking about Estella Goddamn Woodsen .

Even when I got back home and started getting ready for the day , I was still thinking about her and about how to get rid of her or reach her breaking point .

That was it , I had to make her hate me . I had to make her see me as the most despicable human being she had ever met . I had to get on her nerves .

I wasn't really great with my academics but if there was anything I was good at , it was sports and having my way .

Growing up as an athlete had turned me into a competitive monster . Lynn Loud Jr would never lose and everybody knew that .

I got to school and made my way to the lockers , next to Margo and Paula . Unfortunately , Maddie's locker was on the other side of the hall , next to a particular someone .

I saw her and Estella talking and laughing . My friends swore they could see me burn holes theough her back , I was clenching my jaw so hard I almost cracked my molars .

I turned my gaze back to the two girl who were patiently waiting for me to stop burning hole into the Aussie's back , slamming my locker and making my way to first period without a second look .

I could hear Margo and Paula yelling for me to come back , flooding me with a million questions but I couldn't give two shits about them at the moment .

The ball rang right before I reached the door so I went into the empty classroom and sat down , slamming my bag on the ground and letting my head fall onto the table .

My slumber was interrupted by the last person I wanted to see - Estella Woodsen . "Hey Lynn , everything okay ?"

I groaned and ignored her . Was I being a bitch ? Yes . But I was sick and tired of the girl seated next to me who had been dominating my head and haunting me wherever I went for the past few days .

When I finally got out of what I liked to call jail . My eyes searched the parking lot for Vandzilla before landing on Lori conversing with someone I couldn't recognize .

When I arrived to Vandzilla , I saw no other than my sworn least favorite person on the earth , Estella Woodsen .

When I saw her , I groaned loudly and said "What the fuck is going on here ?" They both turned to look at me .

"Oh nothing , I just got lost and your sister Lori , if I remember correctly was giving me directions ." She said , with that annoying little enthusiastic voice before turning to Lori in question .

"Thank you so much for stopping me , I don't know what I would've done otherwise ." They smiled at eachother .

"Whatever , great I guess , Lori let's go ." I got into Vandzilla and slammed the door . "Bye Estella !" Lori said , before getting into the van . The girl in question waved at her and turned around , I assumed , to go home .

"What's wrong with you today Lynn ? The girl is so nice but you seem pissed at her all the time!" "Listen Lori , there's no way that this shitty Miss Nice Girl act is real . It's all just a cover . There's no way I'm gonna let her get under my skin ."

Lori laughed , "What ?" I asked , the words came out more aggressive than I intended . "It's quite the opposite actually , Estella just happens to have manners but it seems that she's the one getting under your skin without even trying ."

I rolled my eyes at her words "Whatever you say , just leave me alone ." We stayed silent the whole ride as my siblings chattered and bickered .

When we made it home , I ate my food as quickly as humanly possible and went crashing on my bed . I usually have basketball practice but the coach called in sick yesterday .

I stayed in my room all day , only going down for dinner and ignoring everyone . After that I showered and got ready for bed .

I was asleep not even 10 minutes later .
