only fools (fall for you) 》Lip Gallagher/OC

Frank Gallagher: Loving Husband, Devoted Father

Daniela frowned down at the blocked toilet. The rim was almost overflowing with waste, nearly causing the girl to vomit right on top of it.

Disgusted, she closed the door quickly and wiped her hands on her jeans as if some of the murky water had hit her.

"Shitter's blocked up," stated Daniela casually when she saw that Ian and Lip had made their way down the stairs.

"Always so eloquent, Ella," scoffed Ian with a shake of the head to his friend who now looked thoughtful.

"Eloquent Ella. Has a nice ring to it don't you think? Anyway, are you ready to go?"

"Yeah, Mandy said she'd meet us outside." Daniela silently nodded, not wanting to show her slight disappointment that Mandy would be walking with them to school.

She knew she shouldn't be jealous, Ian and her were friends now and Daniela had to try and be as civil and welcoming as possible.

Ian didn't seem to notice his friend's discomfort as they grabbed their bags and made their way down the porch steps.

Mandy was there, as expected, her hands shoved comfortably in the pockets of her coat. The girl's face lit up in a grin when she spotted Ian and she quickly moved forward to weave her arm through his.

"Morning," she greeted happily before glancing at Lip and Daniela. Lip gave her a short, curt nod with Daniela giving her a similar response.

Once the greetings were out of the way, the four teenagers made their way to school. Daniela walked in between Mandy and Lip, the latter pulling out a cigarette to puff on.

"I'm thinking we should start those tutoring sessions soon," mumbled Lip, not even looking at the girl beside him. "There's a test coming up soon that's worth a lot of your grade so you probably won't want to fail."

Daniela nodded her head in agreement.

"That would be good but I'm not going to lie. I'm pretty hopeless at Physics." Lip scoffed and pulled his cigarette into his fingers.

"I'm aware of how much you suck." The girl shot him a vicious glare even though she knew he was basically right.

"Yeah, but when I say hopeless, I mean hopeless. I barely even know the basics."

"Newton's Laws?"

"Uh, I know that one of them gets quoted a lot in movies," shrugged Daniela. The boy finally looked at her properly, looking personally insulted at her lack of knowledge of the science.

"Shit. Well, this should be interesting."

"Gotta love these half-days," piped up Ian from the end of their little line.

"Good thing public education is broke," smirked Mandy beside him.

"Yeah, waste of time anyway. The only thing those people are equipped to teach is how to live with crippling disappointment."

"There are a few exceptions," argued Daniela to Lip. "You, for example. I mean, you're smarter than any of these other assholes living here." She stopped in her tracks, frowning down at her feet.

"Wow, I'm sorry. That was way too nice. You're a prick- albeit an intelligent prick."

"That may be true, but that doesn't mean I'm going to do anything about it." Daniela frowned at Lip's answer, unsure of why someone with his smarts would limit himself to staying in Canaryville.

"Hey, you wanna catch a movie later?" Asked Mandy to Ian.

"Can't gotta be at work by 3."

"Nice jacket Kash bought you by the way," nodded Lip.
