I'm back in school and it's back to torture. More pop quizzes, more detention, and more bullies. Why can't I just take a week off of school? Like, I wish summer break started already so I could have some more fun playing Space Invaders or... going to that kiddy ride to enjoy the swinging around before I get dizzy and- No, that left me having a breathing attack or something. I just want to be away from gym, Miss Simian, everything in school. Ugh...
Gumball: *puts his stuff away in his locker*
Carrie: Heyyy, Darwin! How you doing?
Darwin: Oh, hey! I'm doing great! *smiles*
Gumball: *looks at him and sighs*
He's being the usual again.
Gumball: *packs his stuff and walks to his class*
Banana Joe: *snickers and whispers to Idaho* I expect him to be late....
Idaho: True! *snickers and laughs* Ahaha!
Gumball: *hears them suppressing their laughter*
Yeah, here we go. I'm already ready for it.
Gumball: *sits down and sees Darwin coming in along with Carrie*
Darwin: *sits down and smiles*
Gumball: Being with Carrie again, eh?
Darwin: We only just did a few fun things!
Gumball: Hm. *looks down*
Tina: Shh sh sh. Let me throw it. *snickers*
Jamie: No! I do it! It is MY job. *throws the paper ball at Gumball*
Gumball: *paper ball hits head* Ah- *turns around* What??
Everyone: *silent*
Jamie: *tries to keep a straight face but breaks laughing*
Everyone: *starts laughing*
Gumball: I- Ughhhh! *slams his head on the table and clutches it moaning*
Why does every day have to be like this??!?!
Darwin: Hey, dude. Come on. They're just having fun...
Gumball: Do you even know how it feels to be-
Miss Simian: Alright, class! Silence!!
Everyone: *goes silent*
Miss Simian: Who was doing all that screaming?
Darwin: Not me!
Tobias: *points at Gumball*
Miss Simian: Gumball! What have you done this time?
Gumball: *muffled voice while head is down* NOTHING.
Miss Simian: Lift your head up!
Jamie: HE CAN'T BECAUSE HIS FACE HAS STUCK ON THE FLOOR LIKE SUPER SUPER GLUE! *laughs* HAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHA!!!
Gumball: *gets up and stomps out of the classroom*
Darwin: Wait- Gumball!!! *gets up and follows him*
I CAN'T WITH THIS ANYMORE! I CAN'T! IT'S EVERY DAY I HAVE TO BE MADE FUN OF BY MY CLASS!! THE TEACHERS DOESN'T CARE, NOBODY CARES!!! THEY ALL JUST WANT TO SEE ME CRY!!!
Gumball: *enters the bathroom and closes the stall door* Nghh.... *pulls down his pants and sits on the toilet* Darn it... I'll probably get detention after this...
Darwin: *runs down the hallways* Gumball? Gumball!
Gumball: *groans a little*
Darwin: *sees the boys' bathroom* Hmmm... *opens the bathroom door* Gumball! Are you here?
Gumball: Y-Yeah! I'm okay!
Darwin: Hey, look. We gotta stay quiet! Miss Simian is searching for us!
Gumball: *stays silent*
Miss Simian: *passes by the boys' bathroom* Where are those troublemakers?! *keeps walking away*
Darwin: *hears her footsteps receding* Okay... we're good.
Gumball: Yeah, right.
Darwin: Look, I know it's hard being in class without being picked on, but at least look on the bright side! Summer break will come soon! And everyone will be free from everything!!
Gumball: Ugh, not everyone, Darwin... Many people still have to do jobs during summer break, such as Mom...
Darwin: Wait, they don't have breaks?
Gumball: They do, but only small breaks, not those breaks where you take a brake and slam it stopping the car and pausing the workload for relaxation of 2 months.
Darwin: Oh... poor Mrs. Mom...
Gumball: Yeah.. *gets up and wipes himself*
Darwin: Anyways we should get back to class, we'll end up in detention again?
Gumball: I don't care about the fact I'm in detention, Darwin. I'm already used to it. *flushes the toilet* In fact, I'm already so used to being destroyed like a triangle-shaped chip on the floor. *opens the stall door*
Darwin: Yeah, but at least... get an education? Mrs. Mom always says that!
Gumball: What's the point of getting an education here? *sighs* Let's just go. *opens the bathroom door* I'll take a pink slip after school if I have to.
Darwin: *frowns a little and follows him*
