Genemau, Another Complication

Chapter 7 & An Author's Note

Before the story continues, I want to offer you an apology and a warning. I am very sorry for the extended amount of time between chapters. I understand that those of you who read this or have stuck with this, are most likely disappointed. Before setting out to write this chapter, I noticed that I started this book in 2017, and that it is now 2020. After seeing that, I am disappointed in myself for taking three years to write not even six full chapters. For those who have stuck around, and are still here reading this, thank you. GAC was, and still is my passion project. It's something I have a lot of fun writing, which is a large part of why I'm so ashamed of not continuing this story sooner (although please be mindful that because it's my passion project it is not something I want to take seriously; I'm writing this strictly to have fun). I don't have any plans on discontinuing this story, unlike SOA, which was forced to discontinue due to outside reasons. That brings me to my warning- a lot of time has passed between last chapter and now (last chapter was published in November of last year), and my writing style has most likely changed dramatically. I've been working hard on KTTS, which I plan on touching up and publishing once I graduate, and is something I've wanted to write for five years now. Again, I apologize for not continuing this sooner, and continue on!

Aphmau's POV

Bam! Done. Now I just have to... "Ugh.... I really don't wanna do this. Why should I?" I complained, "Right, right.... cause my freaking grade will drop if I don't..."

It took awhile to get the shading and stuff done, but at last I finished it.

But now that I finished it, I don't know what do. I guess I should do homework, but I'm also really tired from that fight yesterday. Not that I did much.

Meh, I'll just finish it tomorrow morning or somethin'. I really wanna sleep.

Dang it! I can't sleep knowing that I have to give it to him still. How the heck am I supposed to give to him anyways? Slip it in his locker? No, cause then I'd be a creep. Give to Sasha? Heck to the no, she'd tell him! I could always just give it to my teacher, but there's always the possibility of him telling Gene. That's definitely not the way to go about this- but what is? I don't have a lot of options.

Not knowing what do and being desperately lost, I did the only thing I could: looked at the time, and proceeded to call Katelyn and Kawaii~Chan.

They both picked up after the third ring.

"Hey, Aphmau~Senpai!" Kawaii~Chan whispered-yelled.

"Hey Aph, what's up? And why in Irene's name are you calling this late?" Katelyn responded, her tiredness shining through her voice.

"Hey guys! Sorry for calling so late, but I have an issue that needs to be solved ASAP."

Katelyn replied first, with an annoyed "what is it now", and then laughed as I pretended to pout.

"Soooo.... I did a thing. Don't know if it's a good thing, but I did it?"

"Aphmau~Senpai, Kawaii~Chan wants to know what happened!"

I rolled my eyes, "Fine. And you're not allowed to laugh, got it?"

"Yeah, yeah," Katelyn waved, "now get on with it you procrastinating sack of potatoes."

"Hey! I- okay yeah that's fair. Anyways, what happened was earlier, during art class me and Lucinda were talking. Nothing out of the ordinary. Then, out of freaking nowhere, the art teacher assigned us a new project, and- ugh! I swear on my Gray Fullbuster poster that this shouldn't of happened!" I immediately launched into angry mumbling.

"Aph, just get on with it."

"Right, right, fine. So the assignment was that we had to pull a name out of a hat, and draw that person. Annnd I mayormaynotofgottengeneinthehatandidrewhimbutihavenoclueonhowtogetittohim, and now I wanna throw something out the window."

"Aphmau~Senpai, what was that~?"

"I may or may not want to throw something out the window?"

This time Katelyn was the one to roll her eyes, "No Aph. The words that were squished together with the force of two werewolves."

"Um... well I said that 'I may or may not of gotten Gene in the hat, and that I already drew him but I have no clue on how to get it to him?"

"Kawaii~Chan ships it!!"

"No offense Kawaii~Chan," Katelyn told her, "but you ship her with everyone."

"No she doesn't! Kawaii~Chan gets excited about it maybe, but she doesn't her ship everyone!"

"Okay, geez. Calm down. Seriously though Aph, if you like him I have no problem with that."

"WHAT? I- I- I WOULD NEVER LIKE THAT STUPID JERK!" I shouted at her, "No way, not happening. Ever. Never ever."

"Oh my Irene, calm down woman! I was just putting it out there."

"But Kawaii~Chan still ships it! You two would be sooo cute together, hehe!"

"KAWAII~CHAN SO HELP ME!"

"Kawaii~Chan's sorry! She's sorry! Please just stop yelling please? Her ears hurt!"

"Fine. I just need help. How am I supposed to get it to him without it being weird or suspecting anything? I can't slip it in his locker, that'd be creepy! And the teacher might tell him who drew it!"

"Shush Aph! Why're you so loud? Just give it to your teacher, he's probably gonna collect it anyways. And don't put you're name on it."

"Yeah, Aphmau~Senpai! If you need to, you can ask that he not be told that you drew it!"

"Thanks guys. I'm seriously overreacting, aren't I? Anyways, I'm gonna try to sleep. Cya in the morning?"

"Yup!" They replied.

Okay... so I have a plan. Now to sleep, and continue on with my day? Night? Whatever. Hopefully Gene won't notice I drew it! I mean, what are the chances?

<3 <3 <3

Beep. Beep. Be-

Smash.

And there goes my new alarm. Again. I should really consider moving it to the other side of my room.

Anyways, since I barely got any sleep last night, my bags are so obvious! I'm gonna have such a hard time focusing at school! (*sobs*)

So with the existential dread that is life hanging over my head, I got ready and left for school.

And with that, I walked out the door- only to immediately see Gene?!

:)    :)    :)

Yes, I wrote an extra-extra long (900 words; about 1000 including the initial paragraph) chapter as an apology.

....Did it work?

Anyways, I hope you enjoyed the chapter, and I'll be updating- soon.

Edit (7/28/20): Ya' know... I just realized two things; one- the fight didn't happen "yesterday" but the 'day before that', and two- I may or may not of used Aph freaking out about something that was already explained in the last chapter (*ahem* collecting the paper *ahem*)... as plot armor. Sorry not sorry! The story is here with no plot and we're just gonna vibe with it. Ok? Ok.
