"Have a good day at school!" Nicole called out, as the three went out to the bus.
"Are you sure nobody's going to make fun of me?" Darwin sighed, since this was at least the fourth time Gumball has asked this question. "Positive." He replied.
The three went onto the bus, and like predicted for Gumball, some people were looking at them funny. Darwin and Anais went to their seats while Gumball stood there quietly, looking for a seat that didn't include some weird person next to him. He spotted his girlfriend Penny waving, and instantly sat beside her.
"Hi Penny!" He greeted. "Oh hi-" Penny cut off, as she noticed the weird glow around Gumball. "Uh... Gumball what is that?" The color changed purple, which confused her a little.
"I uh.. It's nothing.." Gumball stuttered nervously, as the color was flashing different shades of purple now. "Gumball just tell me, I can see something's up." Penny said. He sighed, and finally explained.
"Okay so.. There was this weird rock in our backyard, and I touched it, which was a bad idea. Basically, this weird glow thing happened." "Why is it changing colors?" Penny asked, as she saw the glow change back to its neutral color.
"That? I have no idea. I think it's sorta based on emotions or something? I'm still getting used to it." Gumball said, as he examined the light.
"Well.. What was that color representing a few seconds ago?" Gumball was a little hesitant to answer, but replied anyway. "Uh... Nervousness I think... Or it might be fear.. I don't honestly remember really.."
The bus came to a stop in front of the school, and students started getting off. "Well, I'll talk to you later Gumball." Penny got up and exited the bus, Gumball doing the same as well.
-----------------------------------------------------------
Class had now started, and the students were now silent. "Okay class, time to hand in your essays that are due today. Any blank ones will be an automatic detention!" Miss Simian said.
Gumball reached down and took out his essay, only to grab nothing but air. Confused, he looked everywhere around his desk, finding no sign of the paper anywhere. Crud! I must've left it at home!!
"Watterson, do you have yours?" Gumball flinched, looking up to see Miss Simian looming over his desk, a deadly scowl placed on her face. "I uh... Forgot it.."
She turned around, saying the one word he didn't want to hear today. "Detention."
The rest of the day was quite normal. Nobody really noticed the glow at all, only a handful did mostly.
Now, it was recess, as students rushed outside to have their glorious free time.
"So.. Where do you think that stone came from?" Gumball asked. He was sitting beside Darwin at a bench, talking about the usual.
Darwin shrugged, not knowing the explanation. "Beats me, maybe it's from another planet or something."
Gumball snickered at this sentence, which made Darwin a little annoyed. "Pfft.. Another planet? Dude, I don't think a rock would just come out of the sky that quickly if it's from another planet." "Well what's your thought on where it came from?" Darwin asked. "I have no idea.." Darwin sighed, knowing this would probably be the answer he would get.
Soon, the bell rang, and the two got up to leave, only to bump into someone who was passing by. The person fell to the ground, but got back up, revealed to be Jamie. "Hey! Watch where you're going losers!" She forcefully pushed them out of the way, as she stomped to the door.
"Well sorry, it's not our fault you were in the way." Gumball said, catching her attention. Jamie turned around quickly, a look of anger on her face. "In the way?! Are you saying I'm fat?!"
Gumball's eyes widened a little by this sentence. "That's not what I meant! I was just saying that you were in the way!" Before he could react, a punch was delivered right to his face, knocking him to the ground.
Others kids gathered in a crowd, watching the scene play before them.
"Gumball are you okay?" Darwin quickly helped his brother back onto his feet, who now had a bruise on his face.
"Fight! Fight! Fight!" A student chanted, their fists raised into the air.
Gumball had a look of panic on his face now. "No wait!"
Jamie smiled, liking the student's suggestion. "If it's a fight they want, it's a fight they'll get!" She then started to punch him again, much to his dismay. Darwin could only watch, as Gumball was getting more bruises in places now.
But what they soon witnessed, would be very, very, weird.
Sorry to leave the chapter short, but I'm saving some action for next chapter. :)
