Story #13 (Group 1)Poppy

AN*It's around the beginning of Lucus and Stella's Freshman year, somewhere in September*

Dustin's Pov:

When I was in my science class, in my softmore year. I had a curious eye for these two class mates, they're both a year older than me and seemed like they've boon friends for an eternity. They refused to sit anywhere that's not beside each other and I don't think I've ever seen them apart.

Soon, I learned that their names were Holly and Poppy. I feel like I heard the name Poppy before, but I didn't think much of it.

I told Rickie about them and he suggested that I talked to them, since they looked like they would totally fit in with our gang. I thought he was right since they dyed their hair a lot and even wears stuff from Hot Topic and other stuff like that. Also I wanted a friend in my science class, and I don't have anybody to be partners with.

So, I had to be the brave and not socially awkward person in the group.

I decided to approach them before science and introduce myself officially. I saw them outside the door to the next class and said hello to them. I introduced myself and that my friends would gladly have them in our gang.

Holly, the shorter one that looked kinda like a vampire, didn't say anything (now that I think of it, I don't think she ever says anything inside school) she only looked up at Poppy and shrugged. Poppy shrugged back and said a simple "Sure, why not."

~~~~Later that night~~~~

We decided to hang out at Lucus and Luri's house since it was Friday and their parents said that they could invite a few friends as long as they're not disturbing the neighbors. So we agreed that we will be quiet and only play video games or something.

Once we all got there, Luri said that they ordered pizza with help from Peirce, since he's the only one out of us all that actually works away from him house. 

~~Later (because I'm to lazy to write everything in between then to know~~

When we heard the door bell ring through the house, we decided to take a break from the XboxOne and eat downstairs for a change. (the real reason was because some people started rageing to hard for Stella's liking)

Pierce payed the delivery guy and we dug in around the longish table for Lucus and Luri's family.

After we ate, I started wondering what to do with my plate, since I know some families like to clean them later, or right after dinner, or something else.

I got up from my seat and started walking around the house. I noticed that Rickie started following me as well, soon followed by Pierce as well. I walked with my plate, down the hall outside of the den and found Lucus hanging with Stella near the stairs.

"Hey, sorry to interrupt, but what should I do with my plate?" I asked as Rickie came upt to me from behind. Before Lucus could respond Rickie took my plate and said "Here you go, Dustin, give it to me." As he threw it across the hall like a frizbee to Pierce as he threw to back into the kitchen.

I looked back at Lucus and Stella as their faces turned to awestruck as Rickie took their dirty plates as well and threw them to Pierce as they disapeared into the kitchen as well.

Luri's Pov:

I saw the smirks on Pierce and Rickie's faces as they stood up to follow Dustin out into the hall to the stairs. I knew what they were about to do, we've practiced this for a while and knew exactly what to do. I stood and went to the sink to catch the plates to clean them as well as others to come.

We never told the others about this so I guess it would kinda be a prank to them, but just something really cool to do at parties or something.

I turned around just as the dishes came flying to me as I caught them and put into the sink to soak in the water.

Lucus's Pov:

I sprang up in an instant after my state of shock of what I just saw. "Excuse me! That's my grandmother's west farthing pottery! It's over 100 years old!" I yelled as I ran down that hall. I turned into the kitchen and den where Pierce was juggling a small bowl around his legs and passing it to Rickie as he appeared in the doorway as he rolled and hopped it around his arms like a basketball.

I tried to grab at it but he was too fast. He tossed it back to the sink where Luri is and she caught it with ease.

I turned to table where everyone else was to ask for help but all I saw was Poppy and Holly (Dustin's new friends he wanted to invite as well) sitting across from each other and saw that they were using the knifes and forks to made a rhythmatic tune as if they've done it for a lifetime.

"Please don't do that, you'll dull them" I said as I walked towards the pair.

"Ohhh, you hear that Holly, he said we'll dull the knives." Poppy said in a hushed tone. Holly nodded with a mischievous grin, mirroring Poppy's.

Holly's Pov:

I know exactly what she was planning, we've done so many times before and this time will not be the last. She started us off and she started off quite hushed.

"Blunt the knives, bend the forks,"~~" Smash the bottle and burn the corks"~~"Chip the glasses and crack the plates" ~~ "THAT'S WHAT LUCUS AND STELLA HATES" we say the last part together louder so everyone in the room could hear. We continue the rest together.

"Cut the clock, tread on the fat, leave the bones on the bedroom mat, pour the milk on the pantry floor, splash the wine on every door, dump the crocks in a boiling bowl. Pound them up with a thumping pole and when your finished, if they are full, SEND THEM DOWN THE HALL TO ROLL!!" ~~" AND THAT'S WHAT LUCUS AND STELLA HATE'S"

When we finished we looked around and saw that everyone stopped their plate juggling and party tricks to look at us like they just saw a ghost vampire, mixed with confusion.

Stella's Pov:

I looked at the paired hipsters sitting across from each other and realized. They barely said anything all afternoon and suddenly bursting out into a memorized song that they both know by heart. They've been friends for so long they don't need word to express what they think or what they want to say to each other.

They suddenly looked guilty, like they did something wrong.

"I feel like I know that song from somewhere." Rickie said from behind me with curiosity in  his voice.

Poppy looked back up from the table at Rickie with a small smile. "Ya, it's from The Hobbit, It's a favorite of ours and we just ended up knowing the song since we watch it so much." She then looked at Holly with a "your the exact reason why!!" face. Holly blushed and smiled.

After that night Poppy and Holly was officially in their squad.

*AN~~I just really wanted to add in the part where Poppy and Holly was added in "officially" since I really like these characters and I wanted to make a good-ish story about how that happened.*
