It was a warm quiet night at Melvin's house. He sat there on his bed sitting with his feelings. It was a school night but he couldn't stop thinking. He felt enraged and at the same time wanted to bawl his eyes out.
He was tired of getting embarrassed and made fun of. He just wanted to be noticed for his talents but no one cared. The closest thing he has to friends are the misfarts but they didn't even like him that much either.
Melvin wanted friends, he was just scared of everyone.
Melvin silently crept downstairs and into the kitchen careful not to wake his parents. He grabbed some water to help him calm down a little bit. Then he went to the bathroom to clean his face which was red and puffy from the episode he was having.
He went back upstairs to his room and slowly fell asleep.
Harold was still awake at his house. His mom was in the kitchen getting a snack and he was just on the couch watching the show Dr. Blame. Harold was fascinated by this show, it taught him more things than school did. "Harold darling, when that episode is over please go to bed." Called Harold's mother from the kitchen, "okay mom." He called back.
The tv was explaining things that made Harold think of Melvin. Things about people acting like a jerk just to protect themselves and they are actually sweet once you get to know them.
Harold had already seen that Melvin has a soft side, he'd always wanted to see more of it because he liked Melvin. He really liked Melvin. Even though Melvin was always a jerk Harold always had hope for him. He even developed a small crush on him.
Harold tried to get Melvin to be his friend, but Melvin was always too angry at him for all the annoying things he did. The episode was over, "goodnight mom!" he went to his room.
He started thinking to himself. Thinking of ways to get Melvin to like him better. Maybe he would be more understanding of Melvin's feelings and not try to prank him or ruin his plans. Harold drifted off to sleep.
At School
The next day at school Melvin was being all snarky as usual and showing off his new invention to the misfarts. Pretending last night didn't happen he seemed so confident in himself. This invention had the ability to turn random objects into cupcakes.
"CUPCREATE 2000" Melvin shouted turning a random pencil into a cupcake. Harold saw the invention. He thought Melvin was so creative. The he remembered last night, maybe he could get Melvin to like him better.
Harold clapped "Melvin that's soo good! Now you won't ever go hungry!"
Melvin smirked "HAHA yes brilliant I know!"
Harold smiled at him
Melvin's thoughts were racing. "Does Harold just want to use the invention? Is that why he's sucking up to me?" He thought. But then he remembered how much he longed for someone to praise him so he loosened up a bit.
George thought it was strange for Harold to suddenly be so nice to Melvin, they usually only did that when they planned to steal things from him. He thought it was kinda sweet though. They all went to class and started the boring day.
Finally they had some free time. It was recess, Melvin was sitting alone in the shade appearing to be writing something. Harold and George came over to him together. Melvin looked up from his book.
"What do you want you two broken crayons?" Melvin said bluntly.
George and Harold ignored him and sat next to him looking at what he was working on. Melvin quickly closed the book. The front of the book said diary.
"Diary huh?" George asked.
"Yes, keep your nose out!" Melvin rudely stated.
Harold looked Melvin in his eyes. "Hey Melvin, I wanted to talk to you about something".
Melvin was surprised by this but he hid that fact. " What is it you yellow shower loofa"
Harold chuckled at that insult a little, "well, I know it might be personal to you but are you okay? I've been watching doctor blame lately, the episode I watched last night was scarily similar to you" he said. This wasn't like Harold to be serious, Melvin was shocked.
"You really think about me"? He wanted to say but he just stayed silent.
"Melvin, I know me and George have done some stupid and mean things to you. But this is serious. I'm seriously worried about you buddy" he said trying to get Melvin to open up.
George and Harold both wrapped their arms around Melvin in a hug.
Melvin was so shocked he couldn't say a word, he started to tear up.
"Melvin, me and Harold were talking. We know you are a jerk but we wanna know the reason why." George said.
Melvin opened his diary. He went to a page on his feelings from the previous night.
"Don't tell anyone about this okay?" Melvin told them.
(AAAAAA PLEASE DON'T JUDGE ME THIS IS TO COPE)
