WARNING FOR CUSSING IN THIS ONE
~~~~~~~~~~~~


(Grian's POV)

I feel sad as i watch Eryn and Mumbo leave. I wish i had time to ask if he remembers me... i wonder what he was going to ask me, maybe he does remember me?

(Doc's POV)

I try not to laugh as i watch Eryn and Mumbo leave Grian behind. He deserves it.

Seeing that kid get fucked with always improves my day. Unless it's Ren fucking with him. I don't like that Ren pays so much attention to him. He already spends so much of his time with False that we barely hang out anymore unless we're with Mumbo and Eryn, and if those two aren't there then we're still with False. I don't mind her, she's nice enough to talk to, but I'd rather have Ren to myself.

What annoys me about Grian the most is that he clearly has a crush on Mumbo, which is stupid. Mumbo may be popular but he doesn't deserve the attention. He's too nice. Too soft. The fact he's dating a complete loser like Eryn is proof enough.

Wait... Maybe that's it. Mumbo is stupid enough to date a total loser despite being popular. Maybe if he starts going out with Grian, Grian won't steal Ren from me...

But Ren would never let me get away with setting them up. For some reason he doesn't seem to want Grian to experience happiness.

"Doc? Are you okay?" False asks.

"I'm fine," i snap. I didn't mean to, but that always seems to happen when someone interrupts my thoughts.

"If you say so," False replies.

I start to get up.

"Where are you going, dude? I thought we were cutting class together" Ren asks.

"To mess with Grian. I'll be back." I start walking away.

I hear Ren say "nice, dude!" as I go. I don't like lying to him, but I'm not complaining about his enthusiasm.


(Grian's POV)


I start to walk to the exit of the cafeteria but someone grabs my shoulder. i yelp, surprised.

"Calm down" it's Doc.

I turn around to face him. "Wh-what do you want?" I ask. im still upset about earler.

"Keep acting like youre upset" Doc says/

"What? Why?" i frown

"Just do it. I'm not here to mess with you but you better make it look like i am"

"O-okay" i say.

"I know you have a crush on Mumbo." he says.

"What?!" I exclaim. How does he know im gay?

"I think you should go out with him" Doc says

"But hes already dating Eryn" i say back.

"Does it matteR? Im sure he'd break up with her for you. He's out of her league. I'm going to grab you shirt, act scared." he does it and it makes me flinch even though i knew it was coming

"B-but, why would he do that?" i ask

"He's way too popular for her. Nobody knows you yet, so you still have time to make them think youre cool. Dating Mumbo would probably help, too" he explains

"he's popular?" i didnt realize he was popular. I guess i didnt notice because im so new....

"Yeah, why do you think he sits with me and Ren?"

"i guess youre right...." i look down. there's no way i could date Mumbo. he probably wouldnt like me back, and Eryn is way cooler and nicer and more attractive then me.... if he's really popular i would just ruin his reputation.... i probably already have just by sitting with him.

"Think it through. I think you should do it."

"Why do you care if i date Mumbo?" i ask.

"Because-" Doc stops and suddenly looks angry. "None of your fucking business."

"O-oh. okay" i say.

"Now get out of here. if you're late for class everyone will stare at you." He shoves me slightly.


(TIMESKIP)


I wasnt late for class this time, but i might as well of been. i couldnt stop thinking about what doc told me all class. i guess there really is no hope with Mumbo.... even if he does remember me, we could only be friends in secret, like me and Tuartis.

I don't want to steal him from Eryn, either. She's really nice and she deserves someone like Mumbo even if Doc said shes a loser. No one seems to bully Eryn so I don't thnk sshes effecting Mumbo's reputation either. They seem happy together....  I wish I could habve a relationship like that

The bell rings for the end up class and i get my stuff and put it in my bag. I keep thinking about Eryn and Mumbo as i walk to my locker. When i get there i open it and start putting away anything i dont need.

School ends for the day soon. I don't know if I can make myself talk to  Mumbo before the day ends... I'm too upset from when Doc told me hes popular.


I dont even know hat im supposed to say to Mumbo! I thouht I had a plan, but now that I know he's popular.... i dont know if i can say what i originally wanted to.

(TIME SKP)

When i get hoe i go to my room upset. I dont even want to talk to Taurtis, he's probably busy and hje'll just remind me that im not popular like him and Mumbo.

I put my bag down and sit down at my desk. i sigh.

THen i see the picture of me and Mumbo covered in mud as kids...

Maybe I should try with Mumbo anyway?
