Grumbo high school AU BOYxBOY

Chapter 3

(Grian's pov)

As i walked home after school I thought about my day. So much happened already. I wish I could call Taurtis and talk to him about it while i walk, but i forgot my phone at home. I'll just tell him about it later.

I think i made a friend today. Eryn seems really nice, but of course she's nice, she's dating Mumbo and he wouldn't date someone who wasn't a good person..

I sigh thinking about Mumbo. There's no way i can talk to him. It would be so embarrasing if I asked if he remembered me and he didnt.

I can't believe he has a girlfriend. When we were kids we used to joke that we would get married some day. I know we were just joking, but part of me hoped.....

I shake my head too get rid of the thoughts. I need to stop thinking about Mumbo because it'll just make me sad if I don't.

When i get home i take off my shoes and put my backpack by the door. I go to the kitchen and get a glass of milk. I sit on the counter while i drink it and try to think of something to do while i'm home. I don't have to do any homework because it's the first day. i get distracted thinking about what to do and by the time i take another drink of my milk it's warm and kind of gross but i finish it anyway

i put the glass away and go up to my room and look around. I could always clean my room to distract myself.

i start picking up some dirty clothes and putting them in the laundry hamper. Then i go over to my desk and pick up some pencils and pens and put them in the pen holder. I pick up spme dishes i accidentally left on my desk from last night when i had a snack while i was in my room and take them downstairs. While im down there i get another glass of milk and take it to my room with me.

When i get back to my room i put the glass of milk on my desk and pick up my phone. I think for a minute before i send a text to Taurtis.

Me: hey taurtis

i put my phone down while i wait for him to reply and sit down on my bed. i look around my room again. it doesn't really need to be cleaned that much because i'm not very messy. I wonder if Taurtis is having a good day... he probably is sense im not around to get in the way of him and his other friends anymore. i sigh.

Then my phone goes off.

I jump up and rush across the room to get it, but i trip over a shirt i forgot to pick up and bump into my desk causing the glass of milk to get knocked off onto the carpet. i gasp, my parents will kill me if they see i spilled milk in my room!

i grab the shirt i tripped over because it's dirty anyway and i use it to wipe up some of the milk. While i'm on the floor i notice something behind my desk, but my phone goes off again and i stand up. I pick up my phone off my desk and check my messages.

Taurtis: oh hi grian

Taurtis: im busy right now, i cant talk sorry

i sigh as i put my phone down. i should've known he would be busy, he's so popular. i remember that there was something stuck behind my desk and get down on the floor again to see what it is. when i get closer I see it's a photo?

I pull it out. It's a picture of me and Mumbo when we were kids. We're both smiling in the picture and we're covered in mud. I remember that day...

(flashback, narrator's pov)

Grian and Mumbo were walking to Grians house together. They were laughing and joking and they were happen. They were going to watch a movie together when they got there and have some hot coco because it was autumn and it was chilly outside.

While they were walking it started raining, so they started running so they wouldn't get completely soaked. But it started raining harder.

As they ran around a corner, Mumbo accidentally stepped in the grass and slipped and fell in the mud. They went silent before they both started laughing. Grian reached his hand out for Mumbo to take so he could help him up, but Mumbo pulled him down into the mud with him and they started laughing again.

When they got back to Grian's house, they were covered in mud and soaking wet. They tried to go in but Grian's parents stopped them and ran to get a camera to take a picture of them.

(end of flashback)

I sigh again. Something wet drips on the picture in my hands and i realize i'm crying. I put the picture on my desk and wipe my eyes with the sleeve of my sweater. I think I decided what i'm going to do.

Tomorrow at school i'm going to talk to Mumbo. I miss him too much to not try. I miss us too much.

Even if he doesn't love me. I have to try to be friends with him again.

I get ready for bed and once i lay down, i think about what i'll say to him as I fall asleep.
