Mushroom High School

#6: After School Conversations

Luigi
The school day finally ended and I was thanking the entire world and Zeus and and God and any other god of goddess I could think of for helping me survive.
"Welp, I'll see you tomorrow then," Boo said. We went our separate ways then.
I was walking home alone today due to the football tryouts Mario had. I was extremely nervous, even if this wasn't my first time. I didn't want human interaction quite yet.
I successfully arrived home without social interaction. Only elongating the time to 30 minutes. Not so bad.
"Luigi, sweetie, what took you so long?" my mom called, smiling softly as I closed the door.
"Didn't want social interaction..." I murmured.
"Well, that's alright. Although please try to shorten the time, you worried me," she sighed. I nodded.
"Ok mom, I'll try," I said as I went to my room.
~1 hour later~
Mario came up to our room. I was writing down my worries of the day on the computer when he opened the door. I turned to him.
"Well, I'm done with the try-outs!" he exclaimed.
"Why? I thought they were until 6. It's only 5:30," I asked, confused.
"There weren't as much people as we'd expected, so I came back home," he said. "There's this one girl, her name is Daisy, I'm pretty sure you'd get along with her."
"W-what are you implying?" I asked, stressed now.
"I'm implying that maybe you could tutor her..? I mean, you've been looking for a way to get better with your social skills, and she's looking for a tutor," Mario said happily, clapping his hands together.
"Uh... I-I dunno Mario..." I mumbled. "Isn't she in... your grade or.... I dunno, something?"
"Yeah, but she needs to go over the freshmen courses and sophomore courses."
"Oh, that bad?" I asked. He nodded. "I-I can try... but if it doesn't go w-well by the end of 4 weeks I'm done."
"Of course. I don't want to force you, Weege," Mario said with a smile. "Anyways. I'll be taking a shower now. Have fun writing in your diary or what not!" He ruffled my hair as he passed and I was alone again.
Diddy Kong
"Oh and Luigi and Boo are in my math class and there's this exchange student called Peasley and..." I chattered on and on about my day happily.
"Diddy, shut up will you?" my father groaned.
"Now, now, let's not be rude in this household," my mom chastised.
"Sorry, it's just that you keep rambling on. It's been a straight hour," he grumbled.
"Sorry Dad, I'm just really excited," I apologized.
"You're already forgiven. Just... calm down," he laughed, patting my head. DK entered just then and went to take a shower after saying 'hi' to each of us.
"Was he like that all day?" Mom asked.
"No, no, he wasn't that bad," I said. "But it was try-outs today and he probably just needs a bit of alone time."
"Well. He's certainly introverted, that's for sure," Dad replied. I nodded.
"Yup!" I said happily as my mom served dinner.
"Well, let's eat now and he can join us when he's ready," Mom said. I nodded and started to eat.
Waluigi
I arrived home with Wario and immediately we headed upstairs. I looked at the weather app on my smartphone to see when the sun would set. Approximately 8 p.m... Okay, I'll just look at the astronomy books I bought a few weeks ago.
I opened one and got lost in the pages until Wario spoke up.
"Are we keeping it a secret?" he asked.
"What? What do you mean?" I asked, looking up at him.
"That," my brother replied, motioning to the book.
"Oh. Well... yeah, we don't want..."
"Bowser to find out..."
"And humiliate the crap out of me," I said.
"Ok. It's our secret," Wario said.
Rosalina
"I'm home!" I called, opening the door. My russian blue cat named Polari walked over to me and meowed loudly. I bent down and pet her.
"Welcome home," Dad said, reading the paper. He rarely had free time; he was the only one working for our family.
"How was work today, Dad?" I asked, setting my bag on the floor next to the door and walking over to him.
"Hard. People at that stupid building are so incapable and obnoxious. Ugh," he grumbled. "How was school though, Rosie?"
"Well... my locker is next to Peach's... and I've joined the drama club.... the meeting is Thursday..." I said.
"You need me to pick you up?" Dad asked, putting the paper down.
"Umm, if possible... the club ends at 6... if you can't make it I'll take the bus...."
"No, I finish at 5. Don't worry, I can make it," Dad replied.
"Thanks Dad.... I love you," I said, hugging him.
"Love you too, sweetie."
AHHHH it's been a week I'm sorry. Why am I sorry. I don't know I just am. This one is a bit shorter. But by like 100 words so... it's valid. Thanks for reading! Have a nice day/afternoon/night!!!
