As George had expected, he wakes up with a throbbing headache.

Regardless, Dream gets him medicine and water then the two are on their way to school. Everyone is gathered at the fountain, as normal, and the atmosphere is oddly... Tense.

"Hey guys," Dream breaks the awkward silence first, sitting down next to Sapnap. George joins him while holding his hand.

"Hey Dream," Alex says with a smile that says 'fix this mess' as he motions toward Karl and Sapnap.

"Hey Karl, how are you feeling?" George asks.

"Oh, I'm feeling alright, thanks for asking," Karl gives a fake smile. The conversation is forced and awkward between the group. What happened between Sapnap and Karl?

Before they know it the bell has rung and everyone is off to their first class. Karl, Alex, and George all walk together.

"Karl, what's up with you and Sapnap?" George asks, thinking they were fine yesterday.

"Was the tension that awkward?" Karl asks nervously, to which both George and Alex nod to. Karl simply sighs as he takes a seat. "He got mad at me about last night for some reason, which makes no sense because he doesn't own me! He isn't my boyfriend, I can do whatever I want!"

Karl throws his head in his hands frustratingly as Alex and George throw each other a look of knowing.

"Karl, are you sure he wasn't just worrying about you?" George asks quietly, not wanting anyone else in the classroom to hear their conversation.

"Even if he is, he has no right to. He hasn't given me an answer yet. He's just flat out ignored my confession for days, he doesn't get the right to be worried," Karl crosses his arms and furrows his brows.

"Have you tried to talk to him about it?" Alex asks.

"About the confession, no. But I'm not the one that needs to make a decision. He should talk to me," Karl says stubbornly. George is all too familiar with the situation as he's practically lived through it.

"Maybe just tell him that you'll wait for him. That he doesn't have to give you a clear answer right now if he is unsure. I know it'll hurt but maybe staying friends is better for now until you're both sure of your feelings," George suggests.

Karl nods and sighs. "I know, I just want to be with him."

"I know you do," George places a comforting hand on Karl's shoulder.

"If it makes you feel any better, you're ten times hotter than him," Alex grins jokingly, Karl smacking him in the shoulder.

"Thanks guys," Karl laughs.

The teacher arrives shortly after and starts class. It's boring, but George manages not to fall asleep. He texts Dream occasionally and drinks his soda to keep him occupied while taking notes.

—————

Dream and Sapnap end up having a free period during first class as their teacher isn't at school. The two decide to talk the whole time instead of getting their work done for other classes.

"Hey man, you alright?" Dream asks after Sapnap becomes quiet for a little too long while looking at something on his phone.

"Oh, yeah of course, why?" Sapnap says, turning his phone off and shooting Dream a forced smile.

"Well you seemed upset earlier and you've gone awfully quiet," Dream says, scooting his chair closer to Sapnap's desk as to have a little bit of privacy.
