Twenty Five

"Tubbo? Cmon let's go we're going to be late." Tommy rushed.
"Sorry. I was packing Michael." Tubbo smiled.
"Who the hell is Michael?" Tommy asks.
"Oh, me and Ranboo hung out a lot yesterday and we've become like best friends. So we have a little child named Michael see? He plays Minecraft too. Did you know that? It's a baby pigman." Tubbo pulls his stuffed baby's pigman out of his back pack to show Tommy.

"Y-you're best friends now?" Tommy stutters.
"Yeah! He's really nice." Tubbo smiles. "Okay we're are actually going to be late let's go." Tubbo looks at the time. Tommy follows without saying a word.

"Hey dream!" Tubbo greets as he walks up to Dreams locker.
"Oh hey Tubbo hey Tommy. Have you seen George anywhere?" He looks around the hall filled with many students.

"No I haven't. Is he doing better?" He questions. "Yeah he is luckily. I'm gonna try watch him all day. Can't risk anything yknow?" Dream tippy toes even though he's almost the tallest one there.

Ranboo walks up to the three boys.
"Hey guys." He greets.
"Hey Ranboo!" Tubbo goes up to him and gives him a hug. Tommy just smiles and nods in reply to his greeting. "Hey Ranboo." Dream responds.
Ranboo chuckles at Tubbos actions. "I brought Michael." Tubbo smiles as he pulls the plushie out of his bag.
"Oh that's good! Yay." He laughs.

"Michael?" Dream wheezed.
"Yes...yes his name is Michael." Tubbo defends.
"Oh I see Karl and George. Bye guys at lunch stay safe!" Dream walks away waving.

Tommy just nods and smiles at everything Tubbo and Ranboo say, not caring about what they're talking about. His best friend...with another person? Hah? This can't possibly be can it?

"Tommy? You okay?" Tubbo asks waving a hand in front of Tommy's face.
"Yeah yeah...I'm fine." Tommy says as the bell rang.
"Okay bye guys! See ya later." Tubbo left running down to his class room down the hall.

"Are you sure you're okay? You seem a bit off.." Ranboo asks concerned.

"How would you know if I seem off? You barely know me." Tommy said as he began to walk towards his classroom.
Ranboo felt bad. Maybe he shouldn't have bothered asking.

George sighed. "I forgot about the project.." he puts his hands in his face.
"Don't worry....we'll be fine. Better to turn it in late than never." Karl assured.

"Okay class. So enough with projects , it's time for the real deal...we have a quiz." The teacher smiles happily as all the students groan. "Don't worry it's not until Friday. If you guys are good I'll put it to next Friday. But I expect you all to study from here until that day we do the quiz, it will be kind of difficult but don't worry it's not really graded. Your grades were mostly based off of your projects so I hope you all turned that in..." she says as she starts to read the palate on her desk. "Alright so.... Karl, George, Sapnap, quackity, tommy, and Tubbo...I would like to talk to you during lunch real quick okay? You're not in trouble...kinda." She says as she continues to do whatever the hell she was doing.

"Ugh...why....." karl mumbles to himself.

"Tommy and Tubbo have been to school more than us what are they getting called in for?" George asks to Karl and Sapnap.
Sapnap and Karl shrug.

"So George..totally off topic of whatever she's talking about. Are you dating Dream now?" Karl asks.
George smiles and nods his head "I think so but I don't really know."
"Does that mean I win the bet?" Karl asks.
"Oh yeah we've been over this but I'm guessing none of you remember. We already gave you the money Karl." Sapnap smiles.

"Really?" Karl checks into his back pack to find his wallet filled with money. "Here." Karl gives it all to Sapnap.

"What? What are you doing?" Sapnap giggles.
"Giving it to you." He softly smiles.
"But you have some to me before and told me to buy you something nice. I just snuck the money in there anyway." Sapnap chuckled.
Karl pretends to be offended. "Just take it. I'm not taking it back." Karl turns his direction towards the teacher trying to pretend he knows what the teacher is teaching.

"This is gonna be a long week..." George mumbles.

-------

"Okay so," the teacher started. "George , Karl , Sapnap , Quackity , Tubbo, and Tommy. You guys skipped a concerning amount of school and all came back at the same time. I can see the scratches on all of your faces and I know it's none of my business but can someone at least tell me the slight truth about what happened. Or is this all personal stuff?" The teacher asks crossing her arms. "Personal stuff" George answered doing the same. "Now i would like to get back to my boyfriend if that's okay with you." George said frustrated.
"I'm not done yet sit back down." The teacher instructed as George sat back down at his desk.

"None of you turned in your projects, you're going to have to work on that after school or else I'll have to fail you all or your grades are going to get really low and I don't want any of you failing this class. It's my responsibility to make sure you guys are doing what you're suppose to but it's your responsibility to do the stuff you're given. I don't know what happened while you guys were gone and it's none of my business but I am concerned. So for right now I just please ask you guys to finish the project by tonight."

"Alright." Sapnap agreed as everyone nodded their heads.
"Okay you guys are free to go." The teacher smiles as all the boys head for the door.
"Wow George." Karl giggled.
"What?" George chuckled in reply.
"That's sass tho." Sapnap chuckled.
"Right?!" Karl giggled.

"Such a king." Tubbo laughed with them.
Tommy hasn't said a word since this morning and spaced out a lot which concerned all of them.
"Tommy are you sure you're okay? You seem worried, is it techno? What happened?" Tubbo asks stopping Tommy from walking next to the others.
"I'm okay tubs." Tommy said giving off a weak smile.
"No you're not. I've known you for so long, i know that you are not okay." Tubbo crosses his arms.
"I'm fine Tubbo I'm sure. I'm just tired that's all," he smiles. "Cmon now we're going to loose them." He nudges Tubbo towards the others.
"If you say so." Tubbo shrugged turning back around to follow the others. He knew there was something up with Tommy but didn't want to push anything and decided to wait until he was comfortable telling him. "When you're ready just let me know if you want to talk about it." Tubbo smiles before walking next to George.

"Oh hey guys. Where were you?" Ranboo asks as they all get into the cafeteria. "Ugh. The stupid teacher wanted to talk about our project and absence." George pouted.
"George." Dream smiles walking up to him.
"Hi." George smiles back.
"Can I talk to you real quick?" He asks.
"Yeah sure." George says following dream out of the building.

"What was that about?" Sapnap asks.
Karl turns to look at him. "Was that not obvious? They're obviously going to talk about what's going on between them. Dream asked him out when he was all drugged so I'm guessing they want to talk about it. The past couple days they said that it's not official but George calls Dream his boyfriend anyways." Karl shrugged as he sat at one of the empty tables while everyone followed.

Sapnap nods in agreement.
"So Tubbo. How's your day so far?" Ranboo asks politely as he sits across from him.
"Doing good. Doing good....but we have to finish that stupid project." He pouts.
"Do you need help with anything?" He replies.
"No no it's okay we got this." Tubbo smiles over at Tommy who's spacing out looking at the walls. Tubbo sighs looking down at his hands which were fidgeting with the hem of his shirt.

Everyone at the Tavel were having their own conversation. Bad and Skeppy later end up sitting next to the group of boys joining in on George's and Karl's convo.

"So George...are we...dating now?" Dream asks.
George smiles. "Whatever you want I'll agree to it." He said sitting under a tree.
"So..if I said that I wanted to be official would you...agree?" He asks still standing.
George smiled and quickly nodded.
Dream smiles back as he eventually sits next to George.

-----Time skip bc I'm lazy :p -----

"Okay..so..apparently techno didn't come to school today." Wilbur said as he walks up to the group.
"Really? Hmm.." Tubbo thinks for a second. "Did he get hurt? Did he drop out? Did he..uh.."
"I don't know." Wilbur cut Tubbo off.
"So..does that mean we're safe for the rest of the day?" George asks.

"Not necessarily, I'm not sure if his crew or team is here or whatever. We still need to look out. We have to be aware at the dance too though. No one knows what he could be planning." Wilbur answered.

They all sigh.
"God dammit.." Karl said under his breath.
