I Hate Him. {Gustholomule}

Chapter 2

Gus's P.O.V

"Why don't you just leave him alone?" Hunter whispers into my ear.

"Because he's a jerk and deserves it." I reply, turning to face him.

"But it seems like your the only one instigating arguments Gus. Have you ever thought that you might be the problem?" Hunter asks, glancing over at Matt.

"I- Well- he still deserves it. and he does initiate fights sometimes!-" I reply hurriedly, and a bit too loudly. Fuckk, He heard that, didn't he?

"Are you talking about me Gus?" Matt asks with a smirk. "So you are obsessed with me?"

"I would never, get over yourself." I scoff.

"Whatever you say then Goops~" he hums. I feel my face turning red. I hate it when he calls me that, and he knows it.

"Alright Human Appreciation Society! How are we today?" I say enthusiastically, pacing back and fourth infront of the classroom.

"Gus, it's litteratly just me today, what are you doing?" Matt said. He had his feet up on the table and had a lollipop in his mouth.

"It's called showmanship Matty, some people have passions you know?" I sighed, stopping infront of him. "And why are you even here anyway? You aren't interested in the club and you have a big game tonight."

"Well I did want to talk to you about something." He said, looking up at me with a smug grin.

"And that is?" I respond, sitting on the table beside him.

"I think that I should be president."

I burst out in laughter, causing Matt to go bright red. "Why the fuck would you want to do that?!" I snicker.

"Many reasons~" He hums, standing up.

"And what are those?" I say, standing up aswel.

"Well..." He says as he starts walking towards me. "Because I want power, and I want drama," He continues, pinning me too the wall.

I go bright red, what the fuck is he doing?! What the titan is this? Why am I so red, it's just Matt? I hate him, I hate him, I hate him... That's all it's ever been, all it will ever be.

"And I've got one of those right now~" He says, keeping me pinned to the wall.

"I- you- w-what...?" I say, not being able to get much out. Why is Matt being the flirt right now and not me, and why the fuck is it working?! I don't like him! My face turns bright a even deeper red and I freeze up.

"Wow, it's not everyday I get Mr. president speechless huh?" He says with a laugh. "So what do ya say, can I be president?~" He says, looking at me with puppydog eyes.

"Y-yeah..-" I say, staring at his eyes, they were beautiful.

FUCK. I DID NOT MEAN TO SAY THAT. WHY DID I DO THAT.

"Great, thanks babe~" He says before kissing me on the cheek and walking out of the room. I collapse to my knees, staring off into space. I reply what just happened in my mind, multiple times.

Neither of us have gone as far as kissing for something we've wanted from eachother before. But this doesn't mean anything, he just wanted my presidency, right? But to be honest, I have no idea what is worse. the fact that he kissed me, or the fact I just lost the ownership to a club that I created and built from the ground up. This is so stupid. Why am I like this.

I get up off the floor slowly before walking over to my table of artifacts. I grab a handheld mirror from the human realm, and check my face. Yep, definitely red. I sigh, packing all of my artifacts into my duffle bag and grabbing my scroll.

I check the time, 7:15. Oh my titan, I'm going to be late for the grudgby game, where did all the time go? I hastily grab my stuff and sprint out the door of the classroom. I navigate my way through the empty hallways until I make it to the door that leads to the school field. I look around the stands for any sights if my friends. Eventually I spot Amity's lavender hair, sitting with the rest of my friends. I run over and sit beside Luz, breathing heavily.

"Hey Gus, what took you so long?" Willow asks.

"I just got caught up at the meeting, that's all." I reply, plastering a fake smile on my face.

"Uh huh, anyways..." Luz starts. I'm not processing anything else she's saying, all the words getting mixed together. My mind seems to only be focused on one things right now, and that thing is Mattholomule. Why. Even though I hate the fact that he's at the front of my mind, I can't stop it, and now I'm finding myself looking for him in the group of Grudby players standing on the field.

I see Bria... Boscha... Skara... Cat... Amelia... Matty... Matty! There he is. I let out a sigh of relief that I didn't know I was holding. I continue staring at him, and I think he could feel my gaze or something because he looked straight at me, smiled, and winked. WHAT THE FUCK IS HAPPENING TODAY?

My face turns red and my ears flatten into my head. Why of all people, Matt has to be the one my brain decided to like. I cover my face with my hands, trying to hide the fact that I was flustered. It clearly didn't work well, because I could feel a tap on my back, causing me to whip around to face the person.

"Woah, are you okay Gus?" Hunter asks with a concerned tone.

"Heh- Yep! Everything all good here!" I say, my voice shaky.

"Uhm, no... I don't think so Gus..." Amity says, placing he hand on my forehead to check my temperature. "Hmm, your temperature seems normal so I guess your not sick..."

"OMG! I  got it!" Luz exclaims, grabbing me by the shoulders. "You like someone, don't you?!"

"N-no! Of course not! Why males you think that?!" I say, my face heating up even more. Luz raises her eyebrow at me as If to say, 'seriously.'
I sigh and nod. Luz's eyes start to sparkle, stars literally forming in them.

"Omg! who is it?!" She asks, basically bouncing with all the excitement she has.

"I'm not telling you." I say, crossing my arms dramatically and turning to face the field again.

"ALRIGHT EVERYBODY!! ARE YOU READY FOR THE BEST GAME OF THE SEASON??!" Comes over the intercom. I recognize the voice as my fathers, he usually commentates the Grudgby games. "HEXSIDE, MAKE. SOME. NOISEE!!"
