As I promised, a new chapter every one or two weeks, I hope you like it, as always I apologize for the grammar, Peace

It was five in the morning, Brandon woke up no feeling very good, the summer vacations were over, even for him. That was sad, but most of all, he didn´t like the idea of going to the new school to start his fifth grade, some days ago, alongside the Loud siblings and parents, they went to sign him in, it was not complicated; the orphanage provided his Academic records, he was not a genius but he was a good student, Brandon always was grateful to his friend Jerry for that, the stayed in contact via E-mail, he was glad he was doing well with his new family, Jerry was very sad when he found out about Mrs. Margareth death but with his white haired friend's help he manage to overcome the sad news, in his last mail, Jerry promised him to keep helping him with the tutelage , Brandon appreciated that and was willing to accept his help, he was getting along well with Lisa but there was no way he would let her be his tutor, even less when the prices was being her test subject.

Just like the previous days, Brandon did his exercises as usual, took a shower, dress up for his first day of school and proceeded to have breakfast while the rest of Loud siblings were waiting to take a shower, he found Mr. Lynn cooking, he was not surprised at all, after living there for that long, even when some days Mrs. Rita was in charge of cooking, it was obvious Mr. Lynn was the family chef, and to be real honest, his cooking was really good, he didn't know many dishes but he wasn't complaining. Compared to the Orphanage's food, his food was five stars. Lynn Sr. saw him and while smiling he spoke:

-Hi son, here you go, scrambled eggs with bacon, just like you like it- The father said and gave the food to his second white haired son, Brandon took it a little unsecured.

-Thanks Mr. Loud but I told you before, I can cook my own breakfast, you don't have to waste your time cooking mine.

Lynn Sr. looked at his son, still smiling. He answered:

-Brandon, I said it before and I will say it again, I don't think it's a waste of my time, you are one of my children and you deserve the same treatment as them, me and Rita know you are very independent but don't be afraid of taking what your mother and I wish to give you.

-(Sigh) Ok Mr. Loud but I insist that if you want to stop doing it, you are free to do so.

-I'll keep it in mind- Lynn said joking –Now eat up son.

Brandon went to the table and started to eat, Rita was already eating and when she saw her son approaching, she spoke:

-I see you are up early as usual son.

-Ok course Mrs. Loud, If I don't, I would have to wait in that long line for 45 minutes to take a shower, I don't have the patience for that.

-Trust me, I know. If Lynn and me wouldn't have our own bathroom, we would go insane and we would never reach our jobs on time, by the way Brandon ¿Ready for you first day at your new school?

-As ready as I can be, I hope to not have any troubles there.

-I'm sure everything will be alright son, you are a good student, you do your best, I never thought you were a bad student but I must admit I was kind of surprised when I saw your Academic records.

-I get you, for some reason don't understand, everyone believe that children raised in Orphanages are not very smart, I really hate that stereotype, I won't say we received the best education in the world but I can say the Sisters did a very good job educating us.

-I'm glad to hear that, I know you will do your best and I know you will make lots of friends. Has Lincoln introduce you some of his friends yet?

-Well… I met almost all of them, they are friendly if you ask me, a couple of days ago, I met Clyde… an interesting boy… Nah! Who am I kidding? That boy is really weird, a total freak.

-Brandon, it´s not nice to talk like that about people behind their backs- Rita scolded her son.

-I know and I don't like to do it but seriously! You have to admit those "episodes" he has with he sees Lori are… dang! When I saw it the first time, it was so sad that it was not even funny, I don't understand how Lincoln and Lori can stand that.

-I see your point sweetie, I think he can be a little weird sometimes but his crush to my eldest daughter is cute, please don't tell me you never like an older girl at least a little?

-I can't say I didn't but I can assure I never got my nose bleeding and of course I never acted like a defective robot like him, it's just… sad- Brandon then thought –Sometimes I really believe he may be thinking indecent things when he sees Lori, that would explain the nose bleeding, does he imagine her nak… ugh! I have a mental picture! Thanks Clyde.

Brandon shook his head to get rid of those thoughts, to be honest, he didn't dislike Clyde but seriously! That dude needed a huge change of personality, at least he believed that, as Long as Lori never show up, he could be a nice guy to spend time with.

-I guess everybody have their own ways to deal with a Crush right?

-That's right sweetie, enjoy your breakfast, I will check on the others.

-Ok Miss Loud and thank you.

Once the matriarch went upstairs, Brandon remained there, lost in his thoughts. Lynn Sr noticed that and said:

-Is everything ok Champ?

-It's nothing…

-C'mon Brandon, I may not have that sixth sense your mother has but even I can see that something is bothering you.

-Trust me, It's nothing but thanks anyway.

-Ok Son but remember your mother and I are here if you want to talk about anything.

-I'll keep that in mind- Brandon answered just like Lynn Sr. said moments ago, both laughed a little and resumed what they were doing, Brandon finished his breakfast, washed his dished and started to go out the house to walk to school, at that moment Lynn Sr. stopped him:

-Son, where are you going?

-To school

-But Lori will drive all of you there, you don't have to walk.

-Don't worry, is not that far and I like to walk, and no offense but that Van or as you call it "Vanzilla" is already full enough with 12 people.

-It's ok, there is plenty space and it's not a problem at all, c'mon; it's not alright that you walk and everybody else go in the Van.

Brandon looked at Lynn Sr. he wanted to say No, he didn't mind to walk but he didn't want to be ungrateful as well, not to mention had never got in Vanzilla once, he would never say it loud but for him, even the buses from the Orphanage in way better condition than that old Van.

-Ok Mr. Loud you win, but If I see there are problems for the lack of space today, starting tomorrow I'll walk Deal?

-Deal

The white haired boy returned to his room to kill some time while the rest of the family were ready to leave, around 30 minutes later, Rita called him and he went to the Van, everybody was waiting, he was about to take his seat when:

-Brandon! Come, sit next to me- Leni said very excited.

The boy rolled his eyes and did as he was told, the pretty girl couldn't help to show, her happiness after watching her little sitting next to her, Brandon was just happy to didn't have to sit next to the twins, their relationship had improved by a "half", Lola did her best to avoid her but Lana, when she was sure Lola was not watching, went to his room to talk a little a known each other better. At first it was a bother but the boy got used to her quickly and even started to enjoy her company, she reminded him a lot as himself when he was her age, a free spirit who didn't bother to get dirty. When they were not talking, , Brandon introduced her to the world of Anime, much to his surprise, she liked some Japanese series, for little kids of course, she was still too young to show her some series he was more used to watch.

Brandon was surprised to feel comfortable inside the Van, in fact; his seat was very nice, Leni couldn't help to tell him the reason:

-I saved you the Sweet Spot, the best seat in all the Van, I thought for being your first time in the Van, you deserved to be comfortable.

Brandon raised an eyebrow and looked at Leni curiously, a quick glance to the rest of the seats made it obvious many of them were as nice as his, even Leni's. Her seat seemed to be a little dirty he rather not to know the origin.

-Well, thank you Leni Loud, this is very nice from you.

-Like, you are totes welcome little brother, I did it gladly. Not to mention I wanted to thank you for helping me with my dresses- Leni answered while hugging him with one arm.

Brandon remembered those times he helped the pretty blondie with her work, having been someone with not many clothes to wear, Brandon was a little skilled with needlework, so he helped Leni with simple works when she was making dresses or clothes for him, he tried to refuse sometimes but just by looking at her cute and innocent begging eyes was enough to defeat him, at least to help her with the clothes, she had still a long way to go if she wanted to convince him to be her model of her finished dresses, she had Lincoln to do that. He felt really bad for him many times for having to do that.

-Such a waste Leni, giving the Sweet Spot to that boy- Lola said from the back of the Van, a little upset Leni immediately answered:

-Like nobody asked for your opinion Lola, it was my turn to use it and I choose to give it to Brandon, deal with it.

-OK! ENOUGH! - Lori shouted –Don't start a fight now, Lola, I already talked to you about those commentaries, if you are not going to say something nice, don't say anything. Got it?

While Lola sighed in frustration, Brandon smiled after seeing how the little brat was scolded, it had been days since he didn't take her seriously anymore, he tried to provoke him many times but he would never play her game, even so; he was always on alert, if that little brat would try to do anything against him, he would be ready to counter attack.

The ride to the school was nice and quick, The Sweet Spot really lived its name, once there, all the kids got out the Van and started to walk to the building, Lola quickly walked next to Brandon and whispered:

-Just one thing I want you to know, If I'm asked if you are really my brother, I will deny it.

The boy smiled and answered back:

-Girl, it's the first time I'm happy to hear about something you plan to do, in fact; please do it, ¿You think I'm dying for people to know I'm related to you?

Not giving her a chance to reply, Brandon walked faster to the school, he didn't see how Lola's face became red for the fury. Once inside; all the kids split to go to their classrooms, Brandon alongside Lincoln walked through the halls, as expected; many kid looked at them curious, it seemed that the news about the "Lost Loud" hadn't reach their ears yet.

-(Sigh) I guess these days will be like this ¿Right?

-You guess right Brandon – Lincoln answered.

Both white haired boys were close to reach their class when suddenly their way was blocked by a thin boy slightly taller than them, he had a confident face, full of himself, he immediately spoke:

-Well well well, so the rumors were true, there really is another Loud with white hair in our school now.

While Lincoln clearly looked nervous, Brandon looked at the boy in front of him with a bored face, thing, that the bully noticed. Some students were surrounding the three boys at that moment.

-I really don't like the way you are looking at me; you should stop doing it.

-Meh, don't let it bother you, it's my regular face. Can you please step aside? We need to reach our classroom quickly.

-Don't worry, I'll be brief, I just wanted to introduce myself. My name is Allen Alestain, official bully from the sixth grade, I hope you understand what this is all about.

-Hmmm, sadly I don't ¿Anything else?

-No, nothing else, see ya at Lunch.

The boy walked away, leaving the twins alone, the other students started to murmur:

-Those boys are dead

-At least we know now who are going to be Allen new targets this year

-Poor new guy, he seriously has bad luck

-Lincoln's brother is cute

-I guess so… wait ¿what?

Lincoln looked at Brandon, he was still a little nervous but he managed to speak:

-Fiu! I thought he would try to do something.

-Never let them see they got to you Lincoln- Brandon said not looking at his twin and continued to walk to the classroom, Lincoln was surprised for what he just heard and just follow his brother.

…

Once inside the classroom, Brandon observed all the boys and girls there, he recognized Lincoln's friends, Ronnie and Cookie, the little girl also look at him but immediately turned around with a little blush, Brandon thought she may be still embarrassed about what happened at the park, he didn't care very much and waited for the teacher to arrive, when Mrs. Johnson entered the classroom and introduced herself to the new students, she was happy to see many students she already knew but at the same time was surprised when she saw him, she had already watched the new but still it was very hard to believe, even so there he was, a boy with the same face of one of her most interesting students, she just hoped Brandon Loud was like his brother.

Brandon ¿Why don't you tell us a little about you please?

Brandon stood up and spoke:

-Hi everyone, my name is Brandon, I'm Lincoln Loud's twin. I moved to Royal Woods during Summer and I think it's a nice community, I'm eleven… well that's obvious if you know Lincoln, I like to practice Karate or fighting related activities, part time working, videogames and some other things. I dislike bullies or being questioned a lot, I'm very quiet if no one mess with me. Glad to know all of you.

Nobody said anything, they just watched him while he sit down again, it was the teacher who spoke:

-Well, thank you for your introduction Brandon, I hope we all can get along this year.

The classes were simple since it was the first day, during break, everybody in the classroom started to ask him questions:

-Where did you live before moving Royal Woods?

-Is True you used to live in an Orphanage?

-How does it feel to have so many sisters from one day to another?

-Is true you are the one who beat up Chandler and his friends?

-Do you know how to fight like Lynn?

-Do you like sports?

-Are you not afraid of Allen?

Brandon answered every question as simple as he could, the most notorious answer was when he said he was not afraid of the bully, the other kids didn't know if Brandon was very brave or a fool, since Lincoln insisted, Brandon met him and his friends at the school garden tables, while they were eating, everybody was talking about comics or resent movies.

-And that is the reason for what I think the Dream Boat is pure cheap and predictable tragedy.

-Wow – Liam said –I will never see the Dream Boat the same way again.

Everybody including Lincoln thought the same, suddenly Rusty spoke:

-Guys! Look! A girl is coming this way, act cool!

Everybody turned around and saw Rusty was right, a small girl with very long hair was coming, it was Cookie, a sweet girl, famous for her cookies (the irony) which she brings every now and then to the school to share or sell during the festivities, Cookie slowly approached to the table, she was a little embarrassed, it was very odd for everyone, even when she was small and cute, she was also known to have a strong character.

Just like Rusty proposed, everybody but Brandon pretended to look "Cool" it didn't matter since the little purple color lover girl ignored them and approached Brandon, she had a little bag with a purple ribbon, she extended it to Brandon, while blushing she said:

-Hi Brandon, I didn't think we would be in the same classroom but now that here we are, I want to give you this, I usually bring cookies at the first day of school or after vacations to share with my friend and I want you to have these for helping me at the park the other day.

Brandon looked at the little girl, at first he was not sure it taking them but in the end he was not fool enough to reject free cookies, not to mention they smelled amazing, when the little girl noticed Brandon was about to take the bag, she spoke:

-Do… Don't misunderstand, this is only the way to say thank you for your help, a Thank you! ¿Get it? – Cooke said not looking at the boy.

While the boys were looking at the scene very confused, all the girls present said a "awwwww" at the same time, other yelled excited, Brandon just ignored and extended his hand to take the bag.

-Well, ¿What can I say? Thanks Coo…

-Oh! Thank you dwarf! You shouldn't have – one voice spoke and took the bag from the little girls' hands.

Both looked at who was the responsible, it was Allan alongside two boys not older than twelve.

-Hey! That's not yours! – Cooke said very upset.

-Now it is

-Give it back!

Cooke tried to take the cookies back but even jumping as high as she could, she couldn't reach them when Allan had his arm extended.

-Hahahahaha, knock it off dwarf, you are bothering me! – Allan said and with one hand, he pushed Cookie away, Cooke fell on the floor, she was not injured but she was struggling to not cry.

-I always wanted to taste your famous cookies but you always managed to avoid me, today you failed, anyway you were planning to give them to the kid with weasel teeth here, what a waste – Allan said, he and his companions started to laugh, everybody present were upset but were afraid to do something as well, Brandon was the only one not looking at them, his eyes were set on the little girl on the ground, he started to walk to her but stopped when one of Allen's minions stood in front of him.

-Hey hey! ¿Where do you think you are going? Allan told us you looked at him very unfriendly a while ago, I believe you need to know your place here little dude.

Brandon stared at the boy with his uninterested face, he was not in the mood to deal with this idiot.

-Step aside, you are a nuisance – Brandon said with a cold tone.

The boy stared at Brandon for some seconds and then started to laugh, Allan and his other companion did as well while Lincoln and the rest of the students were nervous about what could happen to his twin brother, the bully turned to see Allan and said:

-Hey Allan ¿You don't mind if I teach him a lesson first? I believe he is one of those who act all mighty and need to be put in his place.

-Go ahead, but remember to not leave visible marks, we don't need to have troubles in the first day of school.

-Nah! Even if I hit him in the face, he will be so afraid that he will never say we did it, just like all the other chickens present.

The boy approached Brandon, cracking his knuckles while Brandon lightly cracked his neck.

-This will hurt you a lot more than it hurt me boy.

-I doubt it – Brandon answered.

The bully smiled maliciously and without any warning, he delivered a hit to Brandon's nose, Brandon saw it coming and with a quick movement, he dodged the hit and took the bully's arm, using it as lever, he sent him flying the meters to a close tree, the body impacted the tree with so much force that everybody in the yard heard it, the poor bully landed pretty dizzy, a bird's next fell on his head, Brandon approached and when he saw the boy trying to compose himself, Brandon delivered a full front kick right to his face, making him bounce against the tree and falling unconscious on the ground.

There was no sound at that moment, no one could believe what they just saw, Brandon resumed his way to Cookie, he extended his hand to help her stand up, a little surprised, she took his hand and stood up.

-Are you ok Cookie?

-… yes

-Good, go with your friend while I get my cookies back.

-The little girl nodded and ran to her friends to be safe, Brandon started to approach Allan but once again he was interrupted by the other minion, he stood up in front of Brandon, the white haired boy didn't say anything, he just smiled and…

-Hold it right the UGH!

Brandon delivered a power full knee to the boy's abdomen, he fell on his own knees and Brandon finished the job with an elbow directly to the right cheek, the bully fell on the ground drown in pain, Brandon walked over him and stood in front of Allan, the bully only stared, he could feel the anger increasing every moment, Brandon just extended his hand and said:

-The cookies, now; I really don't need problems here, just give them to me and you can go, you can keep your sixth grade bully name intact and I will enjoy my cookies, it's a win-win situation.

Allan kept staring at Brandon, after some seconds, he smiled and extended the bag to Brandon, the white haired boy sighed relieved and tried to take it but Allan left the bag fell to the ground to distract Brandon for a moment, he then, taking Brandon by surprise, delivered a punch directly to Brandon's face, the impact was enough to send him to the ground.

-Idiot! - Allan thought, he felt victorious for a moment but it didn't last long since Brandon, using his two arms, stopped his landing and with a quick push to the front, he composed in a second and jump right to Allan, he delivered his one hit right to Allan's nose

-You can have your hit back! Interest included! – Brandon yelled before his fist impacted with the bully's nose, sending him to the ground, swearing in pain.

-My nose! - just broke my nose! – Allan screamed in agony.

-Trust me, that's the least of your worries- Brandon then, delivered an elbow right on Allan's chest, Allan didn't have time to scream since Brandon started to beat him to a pulp with a rain of punches and kicks.

-I SURRENDER! I SURRENDER! PLEASE STOP! – Allan yelled desperate while covering himself from the punishment.

After hearing that, Brandon stopped his ambush and then proceeded to take his head from the hair and raised him for everybody at the yard could see him.

-I want to make thing clear here, this is what is going to happen to any idiot who dares to mess with me, don't misunderstand, I'm not looking to have a quarrel with any of you in this school, in fact I don't even want any issues with any of you! But if there are ones who think that they can intimidate me, go ahead and try to walk on me! But be warned, I WILL BE THE ONE WHO WALKS ON YOU!

Having said that, Brandon released Allan's head and proceeded to take the little bag on the ground, the cookies were already broken, who took a piece and tasted it, it tastes awesome.

-Hmmmm, well in the end what matters is the flavor, thanks Cookie – Brandon yelled to the little girl who alongside her friends kept staring at him surprised and maybe a little afraid.

Looking at them, Brandon decided to just walk away to the school building.

-So much for my social life here, well… I like to be alone anyway – Brandon said to himself while walking to the classroom, in the Hall, he suddenly heard steps behind him.

-Brandon! Wait!

Brandon recognized the voice, he was surprised since he thought now she was afraid of him for what he did, Cookie stood in front of him, after staring at him for some seconds, he reached his cheek and gave him a kiss.

-Thank you again – The little girl said and ran away as fast as she could, she was so fast that Brandon didn't saw her red face, Lincoln and his friends watch everything from the Hall's corner, Lincoln was smiling while the rest of the group started to whisper to each other:

-Seriously! ¿How they do it? First Lincoln with Ronnie Anne and now Brandon with Cookie! Is it possible that the Loud genes are Girls magnets? – An upset Rusty said to Liam.

-I don't know but I really envious of them! Do you think Brandon realized it yet?

-If he is as dense as Lincoln, probably not.

All the Loud siblings returned home after a long day, between gossips with each other, the girls found out what happened with Brandon and immediately interrogated the Twins, Lincoln told them with details what happened, not mentioning about the kiss or the cookies, he didn't want Brandon to have 9 meddling sisters asking questions about girlfriends, while a worried Leni was treating the boy's face injure, the girls congratulated him for what he did but Lori, Leni and Luna also scolded him, Brandon just listened without any oppose, after some congratulations word and a promise to Lynn to tell her what movements he used in the fight, Brandon walked upstairs to his room, he saw Mrs. Rita walked out of the bathroom, she looked at her son and with a smiled asked him:

-Hi Brandon ¿How was your first day?

-The boy, just a second before entering at the Attic, with one hand on his cheek, answered:

-It was… nice.
