    Waking up to his favourite song, he groans and turns towards the wall. Darwin gets out of his fish bowl, and shakes Gumball.

"Come on, or we'll be late."

"Uuughh..."

He gets out of bed, and rolls onto the floor

"Drag me." Gumball says.

"You're going to get carpet burn." Darwin replies.

Gumball gets up, grumpy. He goes to the kitchen, and pours some cereal out. He shoves food into his face. (Not eating.) He goes upstairs, and puts his actual clothes on. He sits down on the couch, and turns on the TV. He feels the paws of his mother in his shoulders.

"Honey, can you tell me what happened yesterday?" Nicole asks.

"Eh, don't worry 'bout it. It was nothing."

"Well, last time you acted like that it was because Penny situation."

"That was forever ago, and I've changed."

Nicole looks at him, knowing he was bullshitting.

"Okay, maybe not. But, I'm good. Okay?"

"Hmm... Fine."

Darwin rushes down the stair, and flops onto the couch.

"You going to turn the TV on?" Darwin asks.

"Nah"

"Then what are you doing?"

"Thinking."

"About..?"

"Meh, yesterday and stuff."

"Oh, cool."

The bus pulls up to their house, and they hop out of the house and onto the bus.

     Going into his first class, he sits down and rests his head on his paw. He watches every person coming in, like a regular person would do when bored in class. He inspects everyone coming in, until HDG came in. His eyes dart down, avoiding eye contact with him.

"Why is he even in this class? He doesn't come in here!" Gumball thinks, worried as hell.

Darwin comes in and sits down next to Gumball.

"C-Can you like, make sure I don't see him?" Gumball asks.

"Who?" Darwin says, confused.

Gumball looks up, and shakes his head in the direction of HDG.

"Oh... him~ Okay, I will."

Darwin moves, sitting in front of Gumball so he doesn't see him.

"Better?" He asks.

"Y-Yeah..."

"Wow, this is more serious than I thought."

"Shut up!"

Darwin leans up and taps HDG on the shoulder.

"My little blue friend wants your number." Darwin slyly says.

"D-Dude!" Gumball says.

"Uh, okay." HDG says, tearing out a piece of paper and writing his number on it.

"Here." He hands it to Darwin, and which he hands it to Gumball.

Gumball blushes profusely, realizing what the actual hell just happened.
