You sniffed, wiping angry tears from your eyes. Today was terrible, you were just about ready to have a breakdown. Your days were usually the same day in day out, which resulted in never having bad days. This was your first and most terrible bad day ever.

Sighing, you blinked some more tears away as you tried to focus on the book before you. The words of Kenneth Opals Airborn (really good book by the way) were still blurry. How could people stand bad days? That was a something you would just never understand. You hoped you would never have a bad day ever again.

Giving up on reading the book, you decided to try to ease the dreadful headache that clouded your mind. Pressing your (paws/claws/other) to the temples of your head you began to lightly massage, happy that a small amount of the pain was lifted away. You breathed out a sigh and closed your eyes, content just being away from all the stress of everyday life.

The library has always been your favorite place. The smell of dusty old books and the librarians musky perfume never ceased to calm you. It really helped when you were confused about something or just needed some place to hide out for a while. Let's also not forget to mention you were one of the librarians favorite students, sometimes when in the library you would offer to help her organize some books, and in return she would let you check out more at a time.

Your tranquil quite was interrupted when the door to the library opened. Cracking open one of your eyes, you stiffened when you saw it was the devious duo that ruined your whole day. Maybe if you were really still and quite they would not see you? No, that never works in real life. It's not like this was a slice of life cartoon that aired on a cartoon themed channel on the television.

"(Your name)?" Darwin quietly questioned, looking around.

Knowing they won' give up until they found you, you got off of the comfy chair you were sitting on and walked towards them "What do you want?" Your voice held more venom than you intended.

The duo flinched before glancing at each other. Gumball stepped forward and held out a book "we are sorry for bothering you...we got you a new book." Gumball shook the book in his hand a bit.

You cautiously reached out and grabbed the book, enjoying the feeling of the hard leather cover rubbing against your (paws/claws/other). "Sarah told us you liked the supernatural," gumball shoved his hands into his pockets when you took the book from him, "so we got you a book on them."

Eyeing the book, you have out a sigh. They really did never mean to do any harm, and you just could not be angry at someone forever. "Thanks, and you guys are forgiven." Hearing that the boys seemed to perk up.

"Yay!" Darwin flailed his arms, or would those be fins, into the air, making you chuckle. The librarian glared at you guys before hushing. "Let's go back to the lunch room." Darwin began walking toward the door, you and gumball close behind.

You glanced down at the book, then at gumball. He really is not that bad. Pressing the book against your chest, you felt a nauseating feeling overwhelm your stomach, and you could not help but smile wider.
