The whole weekend passed when it was Monday again.
That can mean 3 things:
1. Another boring day of school.
2. There's a possible chance the teacher will scold him for the homework he didn't do.
3. He'll see Dream again, yet this time, he already knows his true feelings.George slowly walked through the hallway, feeling anxious as he neared their classroom door.
The moment he entered, Karl and Sapnap were the first ones to notice his presence.
When he faced Dream, he was looking down on his desk, doing nothing in particular.
George slowly sat next to Dream, and that's when he acknowledged him, "Hey, George,"
"Hi, Dream," George smiled at him, placing his backpack down.
He just stayed there to see Dream with no expression at all.
Huh, he doesn't get it. Dream looked sad or bored or confused or the mix of all 3? Did something happen... or was it about the confession.
This got him a bit worried, but right now was not the time to ask him, since class is about to start.
During English class, he decided to make some kind of conversation with him.
"Hey, Dream? Is it okay if you explain to me the 3 rules of interpretation?" he asked, pointing to the board.
"Uh, sure," Dream then faced him, but not directly at him, with his notebook right next to him, "So, we have the Literal, Mischief, and Golden Rule," he explained.
"For Literal, you're just grammatically giving the words their ordinary and natural meaning. This is also known as the 'plain meaning' rule. For Mischief, you're applying the principle to try and find out the real intention behind the enactment. Then, for the Golden, it's used to solve conflicts within the existing laws. Meaning, when the language used in a statute is unclear, the court must interpret the words of the law so as to avoid a result that is absurd. Did you get that?" Dream looked back at the board.
George doesn't get any of that at all.
Hey, at least Dream was ready to offer him help anytime, "A bit, but thanks,"
The bell rang and it was now time for recess.
George found it weird how all 4 of them just spoke a while ago and even talked about random school stuff, but when they all sat down together at the same table in the canteen, Dream was significantly taking a bit longer to return from buying food than usual.
"Gogs, what happened? Did you and Dream had a fight or something?" Sapnap asked, somehow reading his mind.
"No, Sap. We never fought," George answered, taking a bite of his pizza.
"Then what happened? Did he reject you?" Karl asked, catching Sapnap's attention as they both faced George.
George was quiet for a bit, before he spoke, "No, he actually felt the same,"
Karl beamed up, but Sapnap still wasn't celebrating, "Then why is he like that?"
"I don't know," George replied, a bit frustrated, "I tried to make a conversation with him earlier, and he was kind of avoiding eye contact with me and- I just don't know, okay? Here,"
George hesitantly opened Dream's contact, he then pushed his phone towards the table for them to see.
Karl was the one slowly scrolled back to their messages, while Sapnap read it with him.
"He's probably just trying to process it all, give him time, George," Karl told him with a comforting smile.
George could only nod back at him, "Okay,"
