It was a crisp morning. Prom was in exactly 1 week, Gumball didn't have much time
Gumball woke up freezing and got ready for school once more, with Penny still flowing through his thoughts
Walking to school...
"Hey Darwin?"
"Yeah?"
"About Penny, uh, what do you think I should do to you know ease everything?"
"I don't know, maybe try to kiss her again? And y'know don't go away?"
'Hmmm' Gumball thinks "I mean I could, alright fine I'll take any advice I can get, thank you man" And they both exchange a nice, long warm hug. When they arrive at school, to their surprise, they're just on time aswell. Gumball feels a little more reassured for the day, he takes a sit and begins class.
It was half an hour into the lesson and Penny seemed awfully quiet.
Too quiet. In fact, I don't think she was writing anything at all. Although it wasn't showing, Gumball could sense her sadness from a mile away. He had to do something, he noticed Penny was sitting by herself so Gumball took this opportunity to now reassure Penny.
He swiftly moved into her table, with Penny not moving a single muscle. This sacred Gumball, what if what happened yesterday really did impact her severely. He decided to engage in a conversation with her.
"P-Penny?"
"Yes?" She replied softly
"Look, I just wanna apologise for what happened yesterday and I want you to know that you... you're..."
"What is it?" said Penny
Gumball was frozen inside his mind, he didn't know wether to express his true feelings towards her in class right now. Or wether he should just comment how smart she is, you can guess what he chose.
"You're very smart, I mean this test is impossible haha"
"Thank you" Penny quickly returns back to her work when Miss Simian starts spying on the class. Gumball could of sworn, that just for a second Penny blushed once more and let out a small smile. This was Gumballs chance to fix everything, though he decided to wait until break came by.
ring ring goes off the loud bell. Since the cafeteria is closed for the day, everyone quickly exits the room to go to the school grounds and play there.
Gumball immediately sits next to Penny whom was eating lunch. He took a deep breath and begins talking to her
"Hey Penny, so I was just wondering if maybe we could talk about something?
"Oh, uh, sure Gumball. What do you wanna talk about?"
Silence.
"Tossed around like a doll again?"
"Nah my families going easier on me now, just a tiny bit. But it's definitely amazing"
"That's good" replies Gumball to which he changes the subject. "So what did you get on that geo test yesterday?"
"Oh a B+, I'm happy with it. What about you?"
"I got a B- haha. You know what positives and negatives do to each huh hahaha... haha... ha"
No response, Penny knew what this meant. So she quickly returned to eating her lunch, but with a small smile spreading across her face like there was no tomorrow. Gumball was getting there.
Alas the bell had rung for their last period of the day. This time Gumball sat with Penny, who's in much better spirits. Together, they were laughing at bad jokes, talking about school and in some cases talking about after school plans.
Darwin looks with an adorable smile who sitting next to Carrie. He then focuses that smile towards her making her blush immediately. The four friends carry on with their lesson until the end of the day.
At home.
Gumball dashed up the stairs and into his room where jumps onto his bed, staring at the empty bunk bed above with endless thoughts going through his mind.
"Gumball!, dinners ready" said Nicole shortly. After a while, Gumball made his way down to eat his lunch.
"So my little man, how was school today"
And in a dreamily voice he replied "amazing"
"Ooh, that's good to hear, so whys that?"
"Penny..."
"Oh my little boys in love!" Nicole says with interlocked fingers. Gumball immediately comes back into reality from his spectacular day dream.
"What, no I'm not! She's just a friend!" Gumball quickly goes to finishing the lasagna his mom prepared.
"Oh okay, sorry about that Gumball" The family continued to eat. But deep down inside, Nicole knew that wasn't the case.
In a span of ten minutes, Gumball has finished lunch, cleaned himself up and rushed back to his bedroom to where he could lay down and think about everything that was going on in his live. Most of it is positive but the main thing is Penny.
Penny.
She was the one thought who wouldn't leave his mind. She was perfect, everything about her was perfect. Her face, her eyes, her body, her lips. The list in endless. These thoughts keep him awake and in bed for the entire remainder of the day. He didn't care about no homework, he didn't about being late. No, he only at the moment cared for his one true love.
Darwin enters the room
"Hey man, what's up? You've been in your room for almost 4 hours, is something on your mind?" Questioned Darwin
"Yeah... it's, its Penny"
He squealed
"OoOooOooo, you love her don't you???"
"Yes man, ugh don't make it soo obvious."
Darwin remembers what happened before and immediately settles down. "So what ya gonna do now?"
"Well it's almost 9pm so I think it's time we both got some rest"
"Sounds like a good idea" The brothers proceed to get ready for bedtime, quickly play a bit of Geometry Warand both fall asleep as fast as babies awaiting the next day... a day sure to be filled with excitement and joy and definitely romance...
To be continued.
