"Hey, Karl!"
I had just left my house for school when someone called my name. I turned, facing Wilbur.
"Hey, will! What's up?" he stops running as he has caught up to me.
"Just want to tell you that Dream and George are gonna pick me up for school soon, wanna come with us?"

My brain still hadn't processed that, now, I'm actually friends with the "popular kids" so it came as a little shock that Wilbur had just run from his house to catch up with me. Nonetheless, I gladly accepted and we walked back to his house to wait for the couple.

"Want anything to eat? Drink?" Wilbur asked. I shook my head.
"I'm good, thanks." He nods and grabs his energy drink, sitting next to me on the couch.
"So, just wondering, do you have the "hunch" for someone?"
On Saturday, the group and I had talked about the dating rumor that had been going on about me and Kyle, so it was natural for Wilbur to want to know this. Yet, I froze. I had no idea if telling him would be a good idea, knowing he's very close friends with Sapnap.

"Yeah. I won't say who though! So don't even ask," Wilbur laughs, "but you? Do you have the "hunch" for anyone?" Wilbur's face turns to a shade of red. Ah, so yes?
"Yeah. I trust you with this information, so don't fuck it up, yeah?" I chuckle and nod. "Quackity."
"OHHH" I tease. He hits my hand and tells me to shut up, face still red.
"Since when?"
"Eighth grade was when I realized."
"Ha! I've been in love with my crush longer, L." I make the L shape with my hands. He laughs, and says:
"Really? Damn. Should've seen Quackity work out earlier, then I would have won this." I wheeze and that makes us both laugh. I don't regret leaving my previous group. Not one bit.

~ little time skip ! ~

Me, Dream, Wilbur and George were sitting in Dreams car, listening to Glass Animals, on our way to school.
Space ghost coast to coast was the current playing song.

I said to you, "Why did you do it?"
Touch the glass, I'll feel ya through it
Against the wall with the bracelets on
You look bizarre in the apricot

You think that you're Space Ghost
You're wanted coast to coast
Fuck that shit, now I go
My way and you go yours

We all were singing along, so loud I was surprised Dream could focus on the road. God, now this was something I could absolutely get used too. I mean, who doesn't love Glass animals?

We had made it to school, and I walked in with them.

People stared, grasped and even seemed mad that I was with them. Lord was this so in-powering. That might be narcissistic of me to say, but I honestly couldn't care less.
I'm so much happier with them, then I've ever been with my other friends. I felt my now, friends, looking at me, so I turn and they're all so happy. Wow, I love them.
"You're one of us, Karl. Remember that." Sapnap says. I blush, loving the sound of his voice.
