Chapter 0.4 - boy things got weird

George passed with a D, hurray! Not his best grade, definitely his worst, but he passed. Though it doesn't seem like Dream wants to keep it that way...

—————

"Dont worry about it." Phil yawned, finishing buckling in tommy and walking round to the front of the car. He had a meeting in the town hall this morning, which meant he could drive all the kids to school for once.

"Im not worried." George shuffled in his seat, not used to sitting in the passenger side. Techno grumbled in the back, fighting tommy for extra seat space.

"You look it. If you spoke to him, then im sure you wont have failed." Phil glanced at him before starting the car. "Are you nervous about going into class?"

There is was again, the dad voice. "No, god no. I dont get scared like that anymore." Geogre shuddered slightly at the relentless memories of high school. "I dont have anxiety anymore." His voice whispered.

The driver nodded slowly, not wanting to bring up an bad feelings for the kid. But it was too late, Geogre could already see the weeks of nightmare filled hours lining up.

It took an while for everyone to be taken to each destination, George being the last one along. "You can pull over here." Phil just laughed, stopping the van.

"Scared someone will see you with the Headmaster?"

He grabbed his bag quickly, glancing around the area. "Yes. I most definitely am." With a quick goodbye, George shuffled into the college, heading straight for class.

Luckily this time, he wasn't late. "Hey dude," Sapnap smiled, coming in a few seconds after George had sat down. "How bad was it?"

"What?" George questioned, looking around the room to see various eyes eves dropping.

"Yesterday, when you had to stay behind. Did you talk to him?"

"Yeah, yeah I did. I think he's giving me another chance." It felt good to say it, "I'm on a D-."

Sapnap chuckled, eye brows furrowed. "God, it must be the end of the world. Your happy with a D? i remembered you crying first semesters for getting an A-"

George avoided his friends eyes as the Professor barged down the door, heels of his black boots clicking as he strode in. Everyone stopped talking, all awaiting what he had to say.

Dreams broad form spun to face the room, eyes glazing over everyone and landing once again at Geogre before looking away. "Results are in." That was the one good thing about taking Dreams class, he would mark anywork and give you a result in 24 hours, no matter what it was. "The reports have been sent to your college emails, anyone under a a D- has failed this topic, and as a result will have to re sit it in another class before continuing the course."

He paused, spitting out his words a lot harsher than usual. "If you did fail, please leave the room. This class is for people who want to pass college." George laughed to himself, he must be so angry he couldn't fail him for handing in a one word assignment.

In a flashed, everyone brought their phones out, scanning through emails upon emails. George didn't have a phone, well he did but it was an crappy iPhone that couldn't do anything but use emergency calls and check the time. He never need to call anyone, and if he did Sapnap had a phone so it wasn't never really an issue.

"Don't worry, I got you." The friend next to him patted his shoulder, already logging into Georges account for him.

"How did you do?"
