Gumball's P.O.V

I stood in front of my homeroom door trying to talk myself out of going in. I took a deep breath this was the day. The day I would emerge from the closet, rainbows and all. I adjusted my pink tie and walked in to class. "Right on time as always." Mrs. Peppermint said upon my arrival. I took my seat near the front and sat down. I listened to Mrs. Peppermint go on about the Spring formal. "Any questions?" She asked.  I raised my hand. Mrs.Peppermint called on me. I stood up shaking a little. "It is more of an announcement." I said. "Go on." Mrs. Peppermint said.  "I-I'm g-" I was interrupted by the door opening with a bang. All heads turned toward the person in the doorway. Marshall Lee. I huffed, that kid was a menace. I've had to comfort many girls who have had their hearts broken by that bastard. He was a hottie, that I'll admit. "Marshall next time please come in a little more civilized." Mrs. Peppermint said handing him the usual detention slip. "Will do, Mrs. P." Marshall said strutting to his seat like some kind if rooster. I sent a glare his way. He only smirked in return. "Please continue Gumball." Mrs. Peppermint. I took a deep breath. "I'm gay." I said as calmly as possible.  The whole class started to mumble. I only caught a little of what was said. "Always knew he was a fag." "Good for him." "Yes! Now my ship can sail!" Not sure what the whole boating comment was about, but at least I had some supporters.
