Opposite Attracts - Lynn Loud Jr

Chapter 9 - Not all the sisters are bitches

Estella's POV :

After I took Nathalie to the nurse , I ran to class to pack my bag and change my clothes to attend the cheerleading tryouts .

I went to the gymnasium , where we were supposed to be according to Nathalie . I saw 3 grown woman who I assumed where the coaches and a few girls waiting infront of them .

I ran there and introduced myself , they asked me to go warm up before starting the tryouts .

I was very nervous when they gave us the choreography and told us what to say but overall , it went pretty well .

I made it on the team ! I was officially gonna become a cheerleader . If that was anything to be exited about .

The coach gave us our schedules : there was practice every Friday and Saturday every week after school for 2 hours . Not too bad .

I thanked our coach and went in the locker rooms to shower and change into some clean clothes . When I finished showering and washing off all of the sweat from the day , I got dressed in sweats and a t-shirt , I was going home after all .

I talked a little bit with a few of my teammates that were also outside , waiting for their parents and exchanged numbers just incase we needed it for the future .

I watched them leave , one by one . I had told my dad about the tryouts and asked him if he would pick me up . He just nodded and based off of my previous experiences , that meant he was too lazy to do so .

I still had a little bit of hope so when he seized to show up , I was kind of dissapointed , not surprised tho .

I sighed before grabbing my bag and starting my walk home . After a few minutes of walking , I decided that the silence was too loud and grabbed my bag to fetch my airpods . I turned on my spotify playlist and continued my path home .

When I got back home , I was too lazy to cook so I made 2 minute instant noodles and went up to my room in order to start my homework .

Not gonna lie , this school's homework is way easier and less time consuming than my old one . Back in Australia , I'd spend hours on end miserably sitting on my desk , trying to finish my neverending piles of essays and worksheets .

After all , I only had Maths , History and English . Obviously , I couldn't get my hopes up this soon because the homework will probably accumulate and be handed out more frequently as the year went on .

When I finally got my homework out of the way , I packed my bag for Thursday and crashed onto my bed with no remorse . I was obviously not gonna sleep at 6 PM but I needed to get a little rest . That was until I got a call from Mr Loud , asking me to come babysit his younger kids .

I obviously agreed because I was honestly broke and needed to get on track if my dad was gonna keep wasting his money on alcohol .

I packed my usual babysitting bag and made my way to the Loud residence right across the street .

Apparently , Rita - Mrs Loud , was very sick and he wanted to stay with her but his kids were too preoccupied in their own shenanigans to babysit so he called me .

They were gonna be around the house just not with the kids - fair to be honest . "Thank you so much for agreeing to babysit on a school night last minute . I don't know what we would do without you !" "No problem , Mr Loud , it's my pleasure to hang around the kids!" "Oh please , call me Lynn Sr , I feel old ." He joked .

I was actually gonna kill myself .

"Alright , Lynn Sr . Don't worry about your kids and I hope your wife gets well soon!" I tried to be enthusiastic about the situation . "Thank you dear." He ran upstairs before I could acknowledge his response .
