TAWOG: The Forgotten Love

The Prologue

As the bell that sat on top of the Elmore Junior High school rang, all the students made their way into the school. Each one of them went towards their assigned locker, getting all the things they needed to get. Whether it was folders or notebooks, any of them were essential for any class. Not Gumball, though.

"So, Darwin, why are we here again?" said Gumball in a very disorienting tone. He and Darwin had stood up pretty much all night the day before this. This is because there was yet another Tale of Zelmore game that Gumball wanted. However, Gumball wanted to get the game exactly when it released, which is why he stood up all night.

Not only that, but he forced Darwin to stay up with him, as he believed that if he had to suffer, so should his best friend.

"First off, this is school. We're supposed to be here" replied Darwin with his own disorienting voice. "and second off, remind me to not agree to do all-nighter with you ever again."

Once Darwin reached his locker alongside Gumball, he started to take out a couple notebooks and folders. Gumball just watched him take everything out. His locker was conveniently right next to Darwin's, but it's not like he ever opened it. After all, he didn't for school unlike Darwin.

"Gumball, aren't you gonna get your things before our first class starts?" asked Darwin. Gumball was semi asleep when Darwin asked his that question.

"Huh? Yeah, sure" said Gumball as he slowly opened his locker. Because he was tired, the locker felt heavy to him. Darwin sighed as he saw Gumball attempt to pull his locker. At this point, Darwin just rolled his eyes.

"Gumball, I'll just open it for you if you're not gonna try-" but as Darwin opened the locker, he was interrupted by a lot of dust that spread throughout the air, making Gumball and Darwin cough in unison.

"Gumball, how long have you not opened your locker"? asked Darwin as he waved his hands around to get rid of the dust around the air. The smell of the locker didn't help either, as it didn't smell get at all.

Gumball shrugged. "I don't know. I think the last time i used it was when I was assigned one, but i do have one purpose for it."

Darwin did not like the sound of that. Whatever Gumball used his locker besides it's usual purpose could not be good. Anything Gumball did was pretty much never a good sign.

"I use it to store my food. You know, because the food at this school is gross, and i decided to make my own food just so i can indulge on it."

"Oh" sighed Darwin in relief. "I thought it was gonna be something more drastic and something that i needed to clean up."

Gumball then scratched the back of his head. "Only problem however is that i forget i have food packed in, so i just eat the food that the school serves anyway. I guess i constantly pack food in this locker to the point where it just piles up and why this locker smells pretty bad."

Darwin face palmed. "I spoke too soon" he mumbled to himself. "Gumball, just heard towards class and wait for me at the entrance. I'll clean up the locker for you."

Gumball was happy to hear that. He was grateful to have a friend who'd clean up all his stuff. After all, he was pretty lazy, even when he's not tired.

When Gumball walked towards Miss Simians classroom door, he saw Leslie, who was lying back on the wall. Like Gumball, Leslie always thought he looked beautiful. Both of them were obsessed with themselves and thought they were perfect. Gumball was more ignorant however.

"Hey, Leslie" said Gumball as he approached him and laid onto the hard, wooden wall next to him. Leslie looked at Gumball, but instead of a upward smile, he instead made a downward frown.
