The Kitten's Limit Remastered

Chapter 3: String of Bad Luck

Gumball finally arrived at school, his fur and clothes thoroughly soaked.

He took a deep breath to calm down and compose himself before he headed inside.

The feline shook his fur, drying it as well as he could, though this caused it to explode and puff up.

"...Great..." He sighed.

Wet and annoyed Gumball walked over to his locker, where Darwin and Anais were waiting for him.

The young rabbit covered her mouth, trying to hold back her laughter as she saw the state Gumball was in. The sight was too much for her however and she burst out laughing.

 "What on earth happened to you dude?" Darwin asked.

"I walked. It started raining. Plus I ran all the way, so I'm sweaty too." The feline replied bluntly.

"Why? Couldn't Mrs Mom give you a lift?"

"Ugh, don't get me started on Mom." He scoffed as he began to smooth his fur back down.

"Why? What happened?" Anais asked, finally regaining her composure.

"She got mad at me for missing the bus cause I slept in and said I have to go to bed a half six now."

"Half six!? That's earlier than I go to bed!" She exclaimed.

"i know! It's so humiliating! And unfaIr!"

"Did you tell her why you were up so late?"

"I tried to but she kept interrupting me. It escalated into a huge argument and I...kinda snapped at her."

"Really!?" Darwin gasped. "She must have been furious!"

"Yeah, she demanded I leave and made me walk. We shouted some more, and well...let's just say we aren't on speaking terms right now."

"Oh no, that's awful dude!" The fish replied as he squeezed his paw.

Gumball crossed his arms. "Meh, I don't care. I'm better off without her anyway."

"Gumball! " His sister exclaimed. "You don't mean that!"

"Yes, I do!  She's stupid, annoying, stubborn and...and I hate her!"

"But Gumball-" Anais began before Darwin placed a fin on her shoulder.

"Don't bother sis. He's just a little angry at her right now. I'm sure by the time we get home he'll have cooled down enough to go and apologize to her."

Anais thought about this, before eventually sighing. "...alright. Just...promise you'll apologize to her when we get home, okay?" She turned and asked Gumball.

The kitten hesitated. "...I'll think about it."

"I guess that's good enough..." She sighed. "So, you gonna do anything about your clothes?"

"What do you mean?" 

"They're soaking wet. You can't go walking around in them like that."

"What else am I supposed to do? Go naked?"

"What, no! Just go to the bathroom and dry them with the hand dryer!"

"...Oh ...yeah...why didn't I think of that? Saves me from sitting in wet clothes all morning..." He thought out loud before turning and smiling at her.  Thanks, sis."

"Any time. You'd uh,  better go now before class starts."

"How long do I have?"

"Uh, about 10 minutes." She replied glancing at the clock.
