Holly! The Rag doll and the Human girl

Chapter 12: Lisa + Mel / Lesley and Kyle

     The following morning, Holly yawned as she woke up. She stared at Rochelle, who is still sleeping as she pulled out a bicycle horn to wake her up. HONK! HONK! "Wake up, Rochelle! It's time to go to class!" She exclaimed excitedly.

"Lesley! What's the matter with you?" Rochelle asked after being awoken by the noise of the bicycle horn.

"Sorry. Lisa and I woke up at home."

Later on, all the students are coming to the classrooms. Holly and Rochelle are on their way where they saw some students staring at them, failing to recognize who she is.

"What happened to Lesley?" said a brunette student.

"Is she looking different?" said a hispanic student.

"She's gone crazy, man." said a young boy, much to his friend's chagrin.

"Hey, there, people." Holly greeted them, grinning as she brushed her hair. "How's it going?"

The Omega Ladies observed Holly as they snobbishly licked their lollipops. "Lesley and her friend are going to the classroom, girls. Tonight, sisters, our party will begin." stated Kirsty.

"But, Lesley returned, Kirsty." said Sylvia.

"Of course she returned!" Kirsty chomped her lollipop. "This party will allow that unpopular loser to fall into a trap," she grinned evilly.

So much later, all the students went to the classroom. Mr. Mitchell is giving them the roll call, sensing their presence. "Is everyone present?" He said as he started first by saying Kirsty's name. "Kirsty?"

"I'm here, Mr. Mitchell." said Kirsty.

"Karen?"

"Hey, there!" said Karen.

"Lesley?" He said as he wondered where Lesley is. "Is Lesley Here?"

"She's here!" Angie fake coughed as she pointed her finger to Holly.

"Right."

"You know my name, Professor." The rag doll smiled nervously.

"Where was I? Sylvia?" said Mr. Mitchell.

"Here, Mr. M." said Sylvia.

"There's something about those five girls who doesn't smell good, Lesley." Rochelle stated suspiciously about them.

"They seemed really mean."

In the classroom of Whitmore University, Lisa and her friends are chatting about how Lesley sang karaoke last night. "Last night you sang karaoke? That's cool!" said Rita.

"Yo, you felt really nervous and you were observin' the girls doin' the thang." said Portia."Holly, how did you feel last night?" Lisa asked.

"I feel really better." said Lesley.

"This pounded the corn of your mind, girl!" Verena joked.

"You remind me of Paulicia, Verena." claimed Mallory skeptically as Mr. Lundy came for the roll call. "Is everybody here present?"

"Is that Mel Walker?" Lesley asked, seeing Mel clumsily dropping his books as he tripped.

Lisa, with worry on her face, went to help her classmate as he picked up his book before trying to pickup his second book, only to be picked up by her. "Hey..." She said nervously.

"Hi, Lisa. It's you." Mel greeted Lisa nervously. "I'm sorry for the book, I'm so clumsy."

"I know. Holly saw you dropping your books by accident."

"Can you believe that, girls? It's Mel Walker, the nerdy boy!" said Rita.

"The same nerdy boy. Ha! I wish I would have a boyfriend who's lampin' than a feelin'!" Portia claimed as Verena cooed.

Later on, the students of W.U. are once again in their recess break. Lisa and Mel are sitting next to a tree, looking at each other lovingly. Lesley is looking at Kyle, who is sulking with anger. She saw her friends chatting and laughing and never joined them. However, the girl walked next to the deliquent before greeting him in a shy manner.

"Hi." She greeted.

"Oh, no. It's you, rag doll." Kyle was annoyed at first, but sighed. "What do you want with me? Uh....Holly?"

"That's right! That's my name! Les- I mean, Holly." said Lesley. "What happened to your friends?"

"I don't have a friend, Holly. My mom died." said Kyle as he has put his hands on his pockets, minding his own business. "And you?"

"My father died."

"Tell me, what kind of girl are you? A rag doll?"

"I'm a girl, Kyle." stated Lesley as Kyle dragged her by the wrists. "What's the matter with you?!"

"Nothing! I just gonna say that you have a deceased father and I have a deceased mother. But, you, my girl, smells like....a children's toy!" he said.

"Children's toy? I'm not some children's toy!" Lesley exclaimed.

"I know you're not, Holly. I think that you're pretty."

"Holly got her googly eyes at him, girls." said Bailey.

"Googly? I think you mean beautiful, Bailey." said Mallory.

"I had a imaginary friend at home. His name was Mr. Tenner. He's a tennis ball with googly eyes and a mouth." said Mel, remembering about his old imaginary friend.

"You have a imaginary friend since you were a kid, Mel?" Lisa asked.

"Yep. You have a lot of friends, Lisa. Nikki, Maureen, Bailey, Verena, Mallory and Rita are the prettiest girls that I saw, and Portia is the...hip hop loving girl that you told me about her."

"Don't worry. I think I'm gonna talk to my friends."

Lisa straightened her jacket as she rushed to talk to her friends. She listened to Mel's story about his old friend Mr. Tenner and brushed her hair as the nerdy boy watched her before removing his glasses. His eyes squinted as he found himself unable to see Lisa and has put them back on.

"That Mel Walker is a cute kid, girls. He's cute on the inside." Lisa remarked.

"No way..." Verena was shocked.

"Gosh, Lisa." said Maureen.

"I think love has no boundaries, right, Holly-girl?" Portia punched Lesley's arm playfully.

"If Holly were here to see him..." Lesley said to herself.
