The Average and Unusual Couple: Chapter Three

   Today is the day that Lydia starts her first day at South Park middle school, and she feels a little nervous on how she’ll get along with the students there. Early in the morning before leaving, she and Beetlejuice had one quick conversation on how he wanted to join her during her first day. But Lydia had said that she wanted to experience the first day by herself to see if she’ll be alright on her own moving forward before making a decision if she’ll allowed her ghostly best friend to join her or not. Even though Beetlejuice hated on not able to join her at school for the time being, he is at least excited to hang out with her while exploring South Park as he and Lydia discussed about it last Saturday weekend.

   Before entering into the school, she takes a deep breath.

   Lydia: Alright, here goes nothing.

   As Lydia walks in, not far from behind, Stan and his friends were starting to make their way to the school building.

   Cartman angry: This is so fucking ridiculous. I should be at home right now getting myself some extra sleep.

   Stan: Come on, Cartman. Don’t get too upset about it. The school did promise on an optional lunch choice menu between Turkey Sub Sandwich and Sloppy Joe.

   Cartman: Oh yeah, I’ve forgotten about that.

   Kenny: I can’t wait to taste their Sloppy Joes again for the first time since our last day being over here.

   Kyle: Not me, I’m going for the Turkey Sub Sandwich. What about you, Stan?

   Stan: I’m going for the sandwich too, along with their fruit bowl.

   After placing their backpacks into their lockers, they walk their way to their classroom. Walking into the classroom, Stan and his friends do see a lot of recognizable faces such as Butters, Clyde, Jimmy, Craig, Tweek, Token, Timmy, Wendy, and Bebe.

   Butters: Hey, fellas! How’s it going?

   Stan: Well, Cartman here isn’t too happy on being back for now, but the rest of us are pretty happy to be here again.

   Butters: Yeah, I’m pretty happy to see things finally back to normal. I haven’t especially seen your face in person ever since the lockdown began, Stan. Are things going okay with you?

   Stan: Well, I still live in that farm, and I’ve recently learned that my old house got sold by a new family. It’s pretty hard, but I’m trying to get better as the days go by.

   Butters: I’m very sorry to hear about your house, Stan. I only hope that someday there’ll be a way for you to come back into our neighborhood.

   Stan smiling: Thanks, Butters. That means a lot to me.

   As the students were talking to each other, the last one makes her entrance into the classroom. It was Lydia. She takes her seat at a desk that sits close to the door. So far, nobody has noticed her as she takes a quick look at them.

   Lydia in her thought: They all look very friendly people. 

   Cartman: So Craig, have you and Tweek made out with each other during the lockdown?

   Craig annoyed: The fuck, fatty?

   Cartman: May I suggest that you two to find a mistletoe in order to get it started? *laughs hysterically*

   Lydia in her thought: Hmm, maybe expect for the fat one.

   The teacher finally makes his appearance into the classroom. It was Mr. Slave.

   Mr. Slave: Okay, students. Take your seats.

   The students take their seats.

   Mr. Slave: First off, I’m so very grateful to see all of your precious faces back here for the first time in over a year. Things had indeed been very tough for all of us, and I know our memories are still very fresh on the recently events that unfortunately happened in this town. But I’m overall happy to be with you guys again, and I can’t wait to get things back to normal around here.

   Cartman whispering to himself: I doubt it.

   Mr. Slave: Anyway, let me quickly introduced myself. My name is Mr. Slave. I was once an assistant to Mr. Garrison back at South Park Elementary for a short time. But then I eventually broke up with him and later married to Big Gay Al. I started this job about two years ago as this town became more and more tolerate with gay people like myself. This school asked me if I wanted to join in as the first ever openly gay teacher in South Park’s history. I of course gladly took in this job with great passion and honor, and well, here I am today.

   Kyle: But we already know who you are despite of the fact that this is our first day with you as our new teacher.

   Mr. Slave: Yes, yes, I know that a lot you guys know me well by now, but the real reason onto why I’ve done that introduction is because we have a brand new student here from the east coast. Young lady, can you come up to introduce yourself.

   Lydia raises up from her desk as everyone finally sees her for the first time. Stan was looking at her in such huge shock. In his mind, this must be the person that has taken his old room as he remembers that conversation by the couple from last Saturday. A new gothic student into the school. Is she just as much of a huge nonconformist as other goth kids that he knew? He’s very curious to hear from her.

  Lydia: Hello. My name is Lydia Deetz, and I’ve just recently moved here last Saturday from Peaceful Pines Connecticut. Some of my favorite hobbies includes watching horror films, taking photos, and studying bugs. My life is pretty much strange and unusual, and I feel myself as that kind of a person. I however love to enjoy with my life as much as I can, and I can’t wait in getting to know all you. That is all for now.

   Mr. Slave: Thank you, Lydia. I surely can’t wait in getting to know you also.

   Cartman: Oh god, another goth kid into our school.

   Stan: Shut up, Cartman. She just said that she loves enjoying life which means she’s actually a conformist

   Cartman: How do you know?

   Stan: I once hang out with the other goth kids for a brief moment, remember?

   Cartman: Oh, that’s right.

   Mr. Slave: Okay, class, our first section of the day will about early American history. I’ve already place each a book inside you desk before you all came in. Please pick up those books, and then turn to page ten.

   Everyone picking up their books from books, and then turning to page ten.

   Mr. Slave: Good. Now usually a lot of schools start off on studying American history by talking about Christopher Columbus first, but since he’s now a very controversial figure in the public’s eye and we here at this school view him as a monster, we’ll instead be starting off by exploring to when the first Native Americans came into this continent. Let’s get started.

   As Mr. Slave does his teaching, Stan takes a brief moment to check on Lydia. While he is still upset about his old house being sold, he really can’t take any serious grudges against her as it was more likely her parents’ decision in moving to South Park and she was forced to go along with it. She seems to be a very sweet and positive young lady. 

   Stan in his thought: I should really talk to her during lunch and recess.

   A couple hours later, it was now the start of lunch time. Lydia was in the girls bathroom alone washing her hands when all the sudden, Beetlejuice shows up in front of her at the mirror.

   Lydia: Beetlejuice!

   Beetlejuice: Sup, Lyds! I just wanna come by quick to check up on you. How’s the school so far?

   Lydia: I spend much of the morning learning about early American history and algebra in math class.

   Beetlejuice: Algebras?! Take it from me, those things can be a really pain in the ass to learn, and people often don’t remember anything about it later on. My brain at one point literally exploded when someone asked me an algebra question. *the top of his head comes off to show his brain exploding*

   Lydia: Yeah, even the simplest of algebra was a little hard for me.

   Beetlejuice: Have you made any friends yet?

   Lydia: So far, I haven’t talked to any of the students here yet, but I’m about to find out in a few moments.

   Beetlejuice: Good luck to you, Babes. I’ll be on stand by if you ever need me.

   Lydia: I think I’ll be alright, but I appreciate it. See you later.

   As Lydia leaves to get her lunch, Bebe comes in to check on if her hair looks good.

   Bebe: *sigh* The things that I do in order to keep my hair look nice.

   Just as she was about to grab her comb from her pocket, her hair reflection on the mirror turns into a snake hair. Giving Bebe’s reflection on the mirror a Medusa like appearance. Bebe screams, and quickly runs off. The Bebe reflection on the mirror reveals that it was Beetlejuice the entire time.

   Beetlejuice: *laughs hysterically* A good laugh before for the next scene, you know I love it. 

   At the lunch hall, Stan had just taken his seat with his friends. While listening to their conversation, he waits for Lydia to show up.

   Cartman: *smelling his Sloppy Joes* Ah yes, just the way that I like them. *takes a huge bite on his lunch*

   Kyle: You shouldn’t eat that way, Cartman. It’s not really good for your teeth.

   Cartman: Oh, and now you’re finally concerned about the way I eat, huh?

   Kyle: I’m just saying that if you keep eating like that, your jaw bone will lead to serious injuries, and you’ll have to go on a new diet. You’ll have to start eating canned foods.

   Cartman: Yeah, right. Think again, Jew. My jaw bones is just as strong as my big bones.

   Kenny: Dude, just let him have his moment. Without the Sloppy Joes, he’ll be bitching about being at school right now.

   Kyle: *sigh* Whatever.

   Stan finally sees Lydia with her own lunch bag, but she’s being followed by two goth kids.

   Pete: Do you have a moment?

   She turns around to see Pete and Michael in front of her.

   Lydia: Yeah?

   Michael: What type of a goth are you suppose to be?

   Lydia: Excuse me?

   Pete: Are you a goth, emo, vampire? What are you suppose to be?

   Lydia: For your turns, I’m much more like a perky goth. But I prefer calling myself strange and unusual.

  Pete: God damn it! Perky goths are some of the biggest posers of all time.

   Lydia: What’s wrong with being a perky goth?

   Michael: Listen here, the only types of goths around here are the mopey ones. And we’ve never had any other type of goth in this town before. So, you better stay out of our way you fucking dork, or else you’ll really be sorry!

   Stan has never seen the goth kids act this way before. They may not be among the nicest people that he ever met, but they can at least be overall very natural. However, he’s never seen them acting in such a bully attitude. He gets up from his seat and walk towards them as his friends watched him leave in a bit of a confusion.

   Stan: Hey! Why don’t you two just instead leave her alone! As long you don’t bother her, she won’t bother you.

   Everyone in the lunch hall heard Stan’s yelling and all have their eyes staring to the situation.

   Pete: We better leave here, Michael. Everyone is looking at us.

   Michael: Alright, fine. Just keep that perky dork six feet away from us, poser.

   As the two goth kids leave the lunch hall, Stan turns his attention to Lydia.

   Stan: Are you alright?

   Lydia: Yeah, I’m okay. Thanks for driving them away.

   Stan: Those two goths don’t usually act the way that they just did to you. They’re usually very natural with a lot of people despite of their negative views in the world.

   Lydia: I see. They are truly Mopey Goths after all.

   Stan: I’ve known those goth kids for a long time now, but never told me that there were other types of goth aside from themselves.

   Lydia: There are many different types of goths. The general public usually think the mopey kinds as the only type of goth in existence. But there’s also Hippy Goth, Trad Goth, Cabaret Goth, White Goth, and even a Perky Goth like myself.

   Stan: Interesting.

   Lydia: Look them up whenever you can, so that way you’ll know what type of goth you’re looking at next time. Anyway, I gotta eat my lunch. Again, thank you for what you did.

   Stan: Wait a minute. I want to join you for lunch.

   Lydia: Really?

   Stan: Yeah. Since you’re new here and all, I really would like to in getting to know you a little more.

   Lydia smiling: Sure! And I also would like to in getting to know you as well. What’s you name?

   Stan smiling: I’m Stan Marsh. You might‘ve not seen me early this morning, but we do share the same classroom together.

   Lydia: Oh yeah, I’ve seen you while I was introducing myself because of your cute poof ball hat. It really suits you perfectly.

   Stan smiling: Thanks. And I really love your half ponytail hairstyle. I’ve never seen anything like it.

   Lydia smiling: Thank you. I’ll be waiting for you by the end empty corner of the lunch hall, Stan.

   While Lydia head towards to the empty corner, Stan quickly goes back to the table in where his friends were at to grab his lunch.

   Kyle: Wow, Stan. I’ve never seen you interact with a girl like that in ages.

   Cartman: Don’t forget that she now lives in your old house.

   Stan: I know that. I do plan on telling her when the moment is right, but I also really like her attitude. I’m actually looking forward to in getting to know each other with her.

   Kenny: Good luck with her, dude.

   Stan happy: Thanks. *he leaves off*

   Kyle: I haven’t seen Stan this happy in quite a long time. He must be starting to have strong feelings for Lydia.

   Cartman: Great, he’s about to become a hippie goth. *takes another huge bite from his Sloppy Joe and hurts his jaw bone* Ow!

    Kenny Are you okay, Cartman?

     Cartman in pain: No! My jaw bone is in fucking pain right now! I need to see the nurse right away. *he leaves*

   Kyle: I warned him, but yet again, his ego gets the best in him.

   As Stan walks his way to Lydia, Wendy and Bebe were watching from their table. Just like with the rest of the students in the lunch hall, they’ve witnessed the incident scene with the goth kids. However, following from Michael and Pete leaving the scene and everyone returning to their lunch, Wendy and Bebe watched the whole conversation between Stan and Lydia. Although she and Stan have been broken up for a few years and is now dating Bebe, Wendy is very surprised to see her ex-boyfriend having a decent chat with a girl for the first time ever since their separation.

   Bebe: How are you feeling about this, Wendy?

   Wendy: I would never thought that Stan would have another girlfriend in his life time, and he seems to think that way too. But there he is, about to sit next to Lydia. I’m really proud to see him finally starting a new relationship with someone else. I really hope that he dose succeed in her winning her heart no matter how long it’ll take.

   Bebe: Are you going to give Stan any good advice?

   Wendy: I think he’s more than capable in handle it on his own, but I’ll still give him a call to congratulate him. And while we’re on the subject, we should get Lydia into being our friend too. After on what we just saw with her getting threatened by those goth kids, we have to make her feel more welcomed into this school.

   Bebe: Agreed.

      In the next chapter, Stan and Lydia have a long conversation.
