Your POV
"Welp. I've asked out every single girl." Toby said as he banged his head against the locker.

"They all said no?" I asked.

"Of course not. I got a few "as ifs." A couple "not in a million years." One actually gagged. I took that as a "not interested."" Toby said.

"You actually asked out every girl in school?" Jim asked.

"Nope. I left (Y/n) for you, because you keep wussing out." Toby said as he looked at me. I rolled my eyes.

"He hasn't asked me because we both agreed that if he did, it would be weird." I said.

"That is correct." Blinky said.

"See even Blinky agrees!" I said before I realized. "Wait, Blinky?!" I said as I turned around.

"I spent the afternoon in the school library, and you are, apparently, a popular topic of gossip." Blinky said.

"Blinky, what are you doing hanging out at our school?" Jim asked.

"Well, that's an interesting story." He said.

"Wait, you said people are gossiping about Jim?" Toby asked.

"I didn't hear much but the words "wussing" and "out" were frequently invoked." Blinky answered.

"Why were you in the library of our school?" Jim asked again, avoiding the growing blush on his face.

"I exhausted all of Trollmarket's resources pertaining to the mysterious mark Angor Rot painted on your forehead. Then a thought occurred to me- "What about the library in Arcadia Oaks High?""

"And?" Toby asked.

"Sadly, all I learned was that Master Jim is a wuss when it comes to the fairer sex." Blinky said which made me snort.

"Really?" Jim asked.

"Look at that hypnotic, bewitching allure of that swaying mole. Excuse me, seems I was wrong about asking out every non-(Y/n) girl in school." Toby said as he walked towards the mole.

"Does he even know if a female is, in fact, beneath that costume?"

"Yep. I told him it was because I know her." I said.

"Hey, you! You have a visitor's pass?" Coach asked Blinky as we turned around.

"My dear sir, I dare say, my humanity is my pass." Blinky said as Jim out a hand on his shoulder.

"Yeah, that's not gonna work. You might wanna run."

"Why on earth would I..?" Blinky said before Coach dragged him out of the school.

Time skip
Aaarrrgghh gave the gyre wheel a turn before he climbed in. "If Wumpas don't let outsiders into their camp, how do we get the stone?" Jim asked as we got in.

"Don't worry, Master Jim! I already have a plan! It's rudimentary! If Quagawamps are hostile to outsiders, we'll need an insider! One of you is going to pretend to be the human reincarnation of the Shattered King! It's genius!" Blinky said.
