I Hate Him. {Gustholomule}

Chapter 8

Matt's P.O.V

I am currently sitting down on the floor of the owl house, watching a movie with a bunch of people who hate me. Why did I even agree to come here? Like genuine question, why am I here right now? I look down at my watch, 7:50. FUCK.

"Heyy uh, me and Gus have to go now." I say as I get up off the floor, dusting off my pants. I look over at Gus, who was now fast asleep on the couch. "Well thats fucking awesome." I mutter, grabbing him off the couch bridal style.

"Uh, bye Mattholomule, make sure Gus makes it home alright I guess?" Willow asks, looking at me with a strange expression that I can't quite put my finger on.

"Bye, and I will, don't worry." I say, giving them a smile before going out the door.

"Bye Matt! Bye Gus! HOOT!" Hooty says loudly. How Gus didn't wake up from that, I don't know.

"Bye Hooty." I reply as I walk down the path.  This is going to be a long walk. Gus said it was a 20 minute walk normally, and now that I have to carry him ill most likely be slower, so now it's going to be like 35 minutes. Meaning we are going to be like, 25 minutes past our curfew when we get back. Fucking awesome!

I feel something crawling up my arm and stopping at my shoulder. I look over to see Emmeline, sitting on my left shoulder. "Hey Emmeline, you wouldn't like, turn into a staff for me, could you?" I ask jokingly. She shakes her head before looking away from me. Wow, rude.

I eventually make it back to my house. I stand there for a second, contemplating on how I'm supposed to open the door with Gus in ny arms.  I feel Emmeline running back down my arm before she jumped onto the doorknob. "Oh, thanks Emmy!" I say with a smile as I kick open the door. Emmeline crawls back up onto my shoulder as I walk through the doorway. I kick the door closed and kick off my shoes before yelling into the living room. "We're home! Sorry we were so late!"

"It's alright I guess, just go to bed and don't do it again!" Perry calls back from the living room.

"Alright!" I say as I start making my way up the stairs, being extra careful as to not fall or drop the boy in my arms. I sigh as I drop Gus on my bed. My arms, back and shoulders now hurt, and I have practice tomorrow, awesome. I grab clothes out of my closet and walk to the bathroom, get changed and brush my teeth. I yawn as I turn off my light and close my door. I look over at Gus, who was now sleeping peacefully on my bed. I walk over to him and kiss his forehead before getting into the bed beside him.

I feel rusting beside me, causing me to wake up. I yawn as I look over at my alarm clock, it's only like 10 minutes before I'm supposed to wake up anyway, might as well. I stretch my arms and I hop off the bed.

"Goodmorning Matt!" Gus says enthusiastically, causing me to fall over. I completely forgot that he was here.

"Fuck... Goodmorning Gus I guess." I mutter, getting up off the floor and grabbing my Hexside uniform off my desk chair.

"Hey uh, how did I get home last night?" Gus asked.

"I carried you?"

"MATTHOLOMULE. WHAT THE FUCK? ITS A TWENTY MINUTE WALK!" Gus exclaimed. "You should have just woken me up."

"Yeah whatever." I muttered as I walked into my bathroom. I quickly got changed and stuff before coming back into my bedroom. Gus had already went downstairs. I grab my backpack from beside my desk and run downstairs swiftly.

"Anyone else here this morning?" I ask as I walk into the kitchen where Gus was sitting, eating some cereal.

"Uh nope, not right now." He replied as he took another bite.

"Figured." I sighed, sitting down beside him and pouring my own cereal.

When we finished eating, we started on our commute to Hexside. We left a bit earlier than I usually do, but that's good because we won't see Bria on the way there. The walk there was relatively silent, neither of us really said much. It wasn't a awkward silence though, it was quite comforting for some reason. We made it to our first class a bit early, Around 10 minutes before I'm usually there. But for some strange reason, Edric was there already?

"Hey Gus- Oh and Matt too." He said with a confused look. "Why are you both here so early?"

"I was going to ask you the same thing." Gus replied as we sat down in our respective seats.

"Emira had something this morning that she had to be here super early for." Edric scoffed. "And my parents always make me go everywhere with her so.." He said with a shrug. "But why did you guys get here at the same time anyway? Neither of you are ever here early either."

"Coincidence I guess." I shrugged. "I would never plan to be associated with this twerp."

"Ohhkay you jerk, we don't need to be starting this at what, 8am now do we?" Gus said with a smirk.

"Wow you guys are so in love, its sickening really." Edric snickered.

"What?!" I exclaimed, whipping around to face him. He just shrugged, sitting there with a sly smile on his face. "We are not in love thank you."

"Awee~ you don't love me Matty?" Gus teased, making me go slightly red.

"No." I huffed, turning around again.

"I don't know about that one Matt." Edric sighed. "You sure do care enough to carry him home from the owl house~"

"HOW DID YOU-" I exclaimed as I turned to face him again, now bright red.

"Mittens told me after I saw you carrying him down the street."

"Of course." I mumbled. I hate Amity so much its not even funny.
