Chapter 1: Misfortune
The sun was dangling low in the sky. It was setting as two students of a school were wandering through the dark streets of the peaceful town. "I can't believe you're my partner... Gumball, are you even listening?" the female student complained. She was a living cloud girl, and she was talking to the student she was walking beside her. "Yeah, Masami," the young blue cat responded, he was wearing a yellow sweater and black jeans. It was the usual attire that he wore. Gumball and his family were well known for causing trouble around town. He knew Masami, partially as a friend and an intelligent girl, but he had the one off thought in the back of his mind about her. She was a wealthy student and her father owned the Rainbow Factory where his mother worked at. But he saw her as a friend nonetheless.
Masami was upset. The two of them had been stuck together as partners for a science project. She didn't want to accept it because he wasn't the smartest student around. She was expecting Gumball to mess up the project sometime soon. "Either way, we're stuck together. I wanted Penny to be my partner, but Tobias beat me to it. Literally," Gumball rubbed the bridge of his nose, recalling the beating he received from his rival Tobias. He had fought over him to try and win the heart of a girl that seemed to go half and half. Gumball stared at the ground as the two of them stayed silent. They had studied after school for at least a couple of hours. That was why it was so late. "Right, so tomorrow, we're going to your place to work on our project, right?" Masami instructed her partner. "Y-yeah. Don't worry about it. I promise, I won't let you down," Gumball swore to his friend.
The sun had finally set and the two found themselves at a street corner. "We better get at least a C+," Masami muttered her expectations from him. Gumball nervously nodded, letting Masami go off on her own direction to get home for tonight. He sighed in relief since he wasn't hearing her rage anymore. Suddenly he heard the sound of screeching tires. He found a car zooming past a red light in the crosswalk, and it was heading straight for Masami. Gumball wanted to kick himself as he did this, but his legs had acted faster than his mind. He dove towards Masami and shoved her out of the way. One thing escaping his thought process was that she could fly. He heard Masami scream, and he felt a sharp shooting pain through his side. And then everything went dark, and Gumball fell unconscious.
