The Owl House one shots (Mainly Hunter)

Gus's first failed grade.

THIS IS INSPIRED OFF OF THE CONVERSATION IN FOR THE FUTURE!
Convo:
Gus- I failed for the first time so I ran away into a cave!
Based off that- (not really I just wanted to make a Gus story with angst)

Little bit of angst but we love that

I looked down at my paper to see many red marks with a red number saying 40. I felt tears in my eyes but I had to keep it in. I flipped the paper over so I didn't have to look at it.

"Okay class, all of your papers are handed out. I am proud of most of you." The spelling teacher spoke. The class got started with everything but to me it felt like blurred nonsense.

I wasn't listening to the teacher but I was taking down the notes. But I should listen, I failed the test. How is my dad going to react? Oh no, no, no. I felt myself get stuck in my head but I didn't want the illusions to appear. I stared at the paper in front of me with the classes lesson for a while and didn't realise what was going on.

"Augustus, a word with you please?" My eyes widened at the sudden voice, all the students had left the class so it was just me and the teacher. "Augustus, I'm sure you're aware that you failed your last test."

"Yes I know, it's just that-"

"I don't excuses. I want progress in you, then maybe we'll keep you in your illusion classes."

"What if I can't make progress? Are you going to put me back in the normal illusion classes?"

"Yes, that's exactly what I'll do."

"Y-You can't do that!"

"Learn to spell and we'll talk later."

I grabbed my things and went to an empty classroom I always go to. "Augustus, why do you do this?!" I didn't bang my head on the desk, didn't want to repeat mistakes.

"Augustus? Why are you in here?" I heard a female voice ask. I look to see Willow sitting next to me with her clothes soaked in abomination goo.

"Oh nothing, I just remembered I need to go home early, I was planning on doing something tonight." I grabbed my things as she grabbed my arm.

"Are you okay? You seem down."

"I'm fine! Just a lot on my mind." As soon as I said that the test paper fell from my bag on floor. I stepped on it and slid it under the desk. "It wasn't important anyways. I'll see you later Willow, bye." I waved to her as I left the classroom but I felt like running out of the school and... Wait, running! I could just run away from my problems! I started to pick up pace as I was getting closer to the entrance of the school.

As soon as I got out I started to run, not home. I was running to anywhere but there. I put my hood on as I went through Bonesburrough to avoid people. I got to the outskirts of the town and I made a run for it, my hood flew off as I tried to find anywhere to lay down.

It started to rain. Just my luck. I found a cave and went inside as soon as one drop hit me. "Ow! Ow! Ow!" I shook my hand then covered the spot I got hit on. It stung a lot and I felt tears escape my eyes as I watched the rain. "Augustus, what is wrong with you." I closed my eyes to hope for sleep. Nothing came, but the rain kept getting worse.

My dad would surely be disappointed that his only child is in a cave afraid to confront him about a grade. But why would it matter? He was barely home anyways, always doing his news stuff to barely spend time with me. But he wants me to become a master illusionist.

"I want progress in you, then maybe maybe we'll keep you in your illusion classes."

All my thoughts raced through my head to fast for me to even process anything going around me or in my head. A loud crackle snapped me out of my thoughts, it came from the lightning (idk if it's called that but we'll go with that) from outside.
