Chewing Gum

.17.

Tasha P.O.V

Gwacha was sitting there crying.

"Tasha? Why are you here- OH MY GOD YOU FOUND HIM!" she ran to the dog in Mingyu's arms.

"Mingyu is a big dog isn't he. Maybe we should take him to a vet." I said sarcastically.

"If i'm a dog that would make you a bear!" he screamed back.

"Well if I'm a bear then you're an elephant!" I shouted.

"Well if I'm an elephant then you're a giraffe!"

"At least I'm tall you ungrateful baboon!"

"You? Tall? Don't make me laugh."

"TAKE THAT BACK"

"How does it feel to be one of Snow White's dwarfs?"

"YOU TAKE THAT BACK RIGHT NOW"

"WHY SHOULD I?"

"I HATE YOU!"

"I HATE YOU MORE!"

"THEN STOP BREAKING INTO MY HOUSE!"

"THEN START LOCKING YOUR DOORS!"

"FINE!"

"FINE! I'M GOING TO FIND MINHO"

"SO YOU CAN BOTH DO IT WITH YOUR CATS?"

"FOR THE LAST TIME, WE DON'T FUCK OUR CATS!"

He walked away without looking back. How dare he get the last word of our argument. But, apparently Gwacha was oblivious to this because she was focused on her dog. I should've known it was her's the moment I read its name tag. Gummy. Like gum.

"Thank you thank you thank you. You f-found him! I love you s-so much right n-now!"

My heart fluttered at the sound of that.

Maybe you like her?

What the hell Cream! I'm not gay!

But you aren't homophobic either, so there's always a possibility.

Maybe you're right- I MEAN NO! YOU ARE ABSOLUTELY AND UTTERLY WRONG!

Fine. Don't believe me. Try going to one of Mira's lgbt speeches. All will be clear.

One speech. Just one.

!yAy!

"Bye Gwacha! See you in a little bit!" I called out to the very pink girl.

"You're leaving already? Can I go with you?"

"Don't you have class right now?"

"Nu uh. I have free."

Should I let her come? Fine. Just to let her see my Ramona and Beezus books.

"Follow me."

"YAY!"

She picked up Gummy and then we started walking to the dorm.
But Gummy had other plans.
He leaped out of Gwacha's arms and ran.
We chased after him for a while.
He turned a corner.
And another.
And another.
All the while, we were chasing after him like blubbery walruses.
But we halted to a stop when we see Gummy transform into an old lady with nastily dyed red hair. She then opens her mouth really wide and a unicorn came out of it. Except it was a really deformed unicorn. It spits rainbows and sprouts tiny wings. It then tries to take off and fly into the sky. However, it's wings were too weak and it fell into a ditch about twenty feet ahead. It then died. Forever.

"i c-cri", Gwacha said, without any emotion whatsoever.

"Oh well, we can always buy you a new one", I respond calmly.

We then walk away, home to our dorm, acting as if all of Satan's doings hadn't just died in front of our eyes.

-this last bit was written by Author Nim Peaches heheheh :)

-and is based off of a dream Author Nim Cream had last week.

-we are so sorry, it's math class and we're bored. Now Gwacha doesn't have a dog. Oh well.

"Come to our dorm. We have ice cream." I comforted

Mira's POV

I watched everyone leave the classroom. I hung back today because I wanted to talk to Mr.Sipò about something before lunch.

"The dream?" He asked knowingly.

"Yes, but this time it was different. Instead of it getting me....there was....a....a girl. She helped me up."

"Really? Do you know this girl in real life?

"Yeah. We sit with her at lunch. She's a new girl."

"Well do you....like....her" he said, hesitating.

"No! Of course not! She's a special needs girl-"

"So what if she's a special needs girl? You've always been very accepting, especially because you are part of the lgbtq+ community."

"Well I don't exactly go for girls with stutters!"

"Mira. Are you in denial. Maybe because you're scared?"

"Why would I be scared?"

I asked even though I already knew the answer. My dad wasn't really open to anything new after my mother died. He pretended everything was the same and nothing ever happened. He covered up his wounds. Eventually, taking care of me while keeping a job got to stressful and he disappeared. Then John came. John Sipò. He's helped me through a lot and pays for my school. He's the closest thing to a parent I've got.

"I have to go to a meeting. Tasha is waiting for you. Don't get to stressed about the dream." He said walking out of the classroom. I grabbed my stuff and made my way to the dorm.

Tasha's POV

"I HATE YOU MINGYU!"

That bastard had locked the door. And I didn't have a key! Who does he think he is? Locking other people's doors like that? It's my door! I can leave it open if I want! Poor Gwacha was sitting out here cold, tired, and hungry! We were going to die because of him!

"Tasha and.....Gwacha? What are you guys doing out here?" Mira had come to save us.

"MINGYU LOCKED US OUT OF OUR OWN ROOM! I'M SO MAD THAT I COULD PLAY HIM MY URDU MUSIC RIGHT NOW!"

Mingyu hated Urdu music, so I played it whenever he came. It gave me the feeling of joy to know that he was uncomfortable.

"You do know that there's a key under the mat right?"

"Really? I thought this mat was just for decoration." I said more to myself.

Then the bell rang. Mira, Gwacha, and I headed to the cafeteria. With our new key. I was going to make thousands of copies of this key and throw them all on Mingyu's empty head! He'll see what happens when I 'start locking my door'.
