Static Mind

Everyone has a limit

He could play with Clyde and his others friends, but Paige had more skill. She was even better than him.

It was normal to try to socialize with new people, at least he was distracted from his problems.

Love, something that a child about to turn twelve would typically not care about, but there he was, already troubled in this field.

His relationship with Ronnie Anne was complicated. Yes, he kissed her on the lips, and don't get him wrong, it was something incredible.

However, they both opted to stay as best friends. Especially now that she had moved to the city, and they didn't want a bad relationship to break their friendship, you know, the typical fear of taking the next step.

Cristina and Cookie had not changed too much. Cristina almost always avoided him, for the videos fiasco, occasionally greeted him for education, but didn't pass from there. And Cookie was just like his cookie taster, ordinary conversations, they were just friends.

What was bothering Lincoln on the issue was that his sisters, to highlight Lori, began to ship him with Ronnie Anne, so he avoided going out with his female friends, or bringing them to the house.

After Paige came to his house for Biology homework, he received a reminder of how he had to be faithful to his girlfriend, even though he has repeated over and over again Ronnie Anne is not his girlfriend.

Do you know how depressing it is for your sisters to force you to date a girl? Without having the right to choose, it's horrible.

"I'm jealous, not even twelve and you're a lady killer, maybe it's because you spend most of the time surrounded by girls, and know how to deal with them."

After clarifying the situation to himself, Lincoln walked to his new favorite place, a small tree house on the edge of a wooded area. Only half an hour walking distance from home, ideal for resting.

Lincoln took out his cell phone, to make sure there were no problems or misunderstandings with his absence at home.

Lori, I'm going to Rusty's house to do a geography project, don't wait for me at school, see you at home – Lincoln. 2:37 PM

Fine twerp, be home before it gets dark, or you'll be a human pretzel - Lori. 3:01 PM

He knows to lie is wrong, but he has no other choice, Lincoln needed his space to relax, something that inside the Loud house he couldn't do.

"I discovered this place the other day, I've stayed here at least three hours every day to help me maintain my mental stability, I owe so much to this old three house" Lincoln commented to anyone, feeling the need to explain everything.

"God bless you, good luck...hehe...luck, still have fun memories of those days."

Inside the tree house, there wasn't much, some scattered water bottles, fried bags, a small rug he took from the attic, an improvised table with a wooden board and old books, on top of that, papers with sketches and written notes.

Lincoln had found a way to relax in drawing, since the comic contest. He decided to improve his drawing skills, creating his own characters, he's never shown his work to anyone, not even Clyde, for fear of criticism.

The reason for doing it here is apparent, if his sisters see his drawings, they would surely mock how bad his drawings are, and if that happens, his secret could come to light.

After drawing for forty minutes, he still had to improve in the structure of the bodies, but the faces had significant improvements. Doing the drawings in both American comics and manga styles. However, another puncture in the chest stopped Lincoln in the middle of a drawing.
