Kidnapped

Chapter 42: Georgina

Karl POV

I walk into my last class of the day which was art, sitting down in my usual seat with George and Callahan.

I went to get out my notebook out of habit and instead just take out my supplies, turning to George.

"Can we talk?"

"Sure, what's up?" He asks, looking up from his drawing.

"So I uh- slept outside last night and I have to go home after school"

"You did what?" George takes his attention completely away from his art.

"While you were gone my dad went away for a month and I built this little den thing for emergencies"

"Karl why didn't you just message me?" He asks and I shrug.

"I'm still getting used to you being back and I didn't want to ruin the time your spending with your dad being back in town"

"Can't you just avoid him till tomorrow?" He asks and I shake my head.

"Even if I do stay at someone else's I need to get clean clothes and some of my things from the house"

"Well I'll be at Dream's after school so I can't help but message me if things get bad yeah?" He offers and I was okay enough with that answer.

"Yeah thanks Gogy" I smile, glad we're all starting to go back to our old nicknames.

We all spoke about it before, how we actually preferred being called our nicknames instead of our real names.

Real names make you feel like you've done something wrong or serious.

We were all making an effort to get used to using the nicknames again now that George was back.

"So what're you and Dream doing?" I ask, finishing an old drawing.

"I'm going to see his mum and sister but mostly I wanted to see patches again" He faintly smiles, looking over at Callahan.

"Which ones red?"

Callahan points to a colour and George thanks him, going back to his drawing.

"I feel like I've missed out on a lot you know, so much happens in a year like films and the latest drama and things that you guys have done together that I wasn't there for" George explains and I direct my attention towards him.

"Don't worry, considering this school year ends a lot earlier we can have all the movie marathons you want" I laugh, trying to make the conversation lighter.

"Oh yeah I forgot they cut this year short, don't we still have to do some work from home?" He asks and I nod.

"I think Phil is going to talk about it soon, you know explain what's going to happen"

"Nice, I do need to speak to the others more to be fair" George responds.

"Others?" I question.

"Tommy, Wilbur and Techno" He says, reminding me of their friendship and relationship with Phil.

"Oh yeah I wanted to ask, how do you know our new English teacher?"

"You mean Kristen? She's Phil's wife, she's really lovely but I didn't know she qualified as an English teacher" He explains.

"That makes sense to why you know her now, he probably wanted to help make you feel more comfortable in that room"

"True"

George POV

I walked out of art with Karl as Callahan found his way over to Bad and Skeppy.
