Hey guys, just wanted to say hi. I'm Koopanovic, a Serb, and I'm NOT racist. Anyway, I'm warming up to FanFiction, thanks to my two other buddies, Zackovic and KoopaKevic. So, this is my first story, so I'll do my best, but if I'm a little off, I might as well apologize in advance. Anyways, enjoy!
Best Buddies
Chapter 1: The New Kid
Gumball's head was already drooping, and the class hadn't even started yet. Miss Simian's class really didn't have anything to look forward too, so Gumball harldy ever focused. He gazed outside the window, where some birds chirped cheerfully outside in the perfect weather.
"It should be against the law to have school on such a perfect day." He said, planting his face on the table. His adopted brother/ pet fish, Darwin, was sitting (standing?) in the table next to him.
"What the matter, Gumball?" Darwin said, slightly concerned for his brother.
Gumball lifted his head up to look at his brother, his face still expressing boredom. "Do you ever feel like you're wasting time just sitting here while a perfect day passes by outside?" He groaned.
Darwin shrugged as best as he could. Gumball just sighed and rolled his eyes, slumping over his table. Miss Simian, the 750000 year old baboon that taught the class without much care or sympathy for the students, walked inside the class but left the door open. All of the students that were involved in other conversations quieted down and faced the teacher.
"Okay everyone, quiet down." Miss Simian ordered. "Before I begin the lesson, I'd like to tell you all that a new student is joining Elmore Junior High today, so make him feel welcome." Miss Simian then muttered:"Because I certainly don't feel like it."
Everyone turned to face the open class door. A student carefully walked into class. He was a medium-height human, about 13, in 2D animation, with ruffled black hair, black T-Shirt, blue jacket, jeans with bleached knees, yellow-and-red hightop shoes and a backpack slung over his shoulder. He had striking blue eyes and a watch on his left arm, and a face that seemed a mix of friendliness, hostility and mischeif. He smiled at the class and waved his hands.
"Hi, I'm Kevanovic." He said.
"Take a seat." Miss Simian said.
Kevanovic looked for a seat, and found one next to Gumball. He sat down at the table seat at dropped his backpack at his feet. Miss Simian got up and started the day's lesson, something boring, because that's just school.
"Hey." He winked at Gumball. "Nice meeting you. What's your name?"
"Uh, my name is Gumball. Gumball Watterson." Gumball replied a little startled by the new kid's personality. "You local?" Kevanovic asked.
"Yeah." Gumball said. "You?"
"Foreign." Kevanovic said, his gaze drifting. "I'm from Serbia, off in Europe."
"Oh." Gumball said, remembering the time he had worn his mom's wedding dress to school and said he was from Europe. He was glad now that Kevanovic wasn't there. Kevanovic pulled out his notebook and started writing whatever was on the board, hmming tunelessly while he jotted down notes. Gumball sighed and decided to get on with the lesson, knowing that evrything would probably leave his mind before the end of class.
After the first classes, while Gumball was switching out his books in the locker before heading off for lunch, he was surprised to see Kevanovic walk up to him. He opened one of the top lockers and put his own bag inside.
"Hey there." He smirked. "Looks like we're locker buddies."
"Uh, I guess so." Gumball said. He closed his locker and walked off. Kevanovic followed him.
"What are you doing?" Gumball asked, looking behind him.
"Following you." Kevanovic smiled. "Hey, I don't know my way around yet, so I might as well follow you, seeing as you're a pretty cool kid."
Gumball couldn't resist a smile. "Yeah, I am cool." "Alright dude, don't stretch it." Kevanovic said it as he followed Gumball down the hallway, chatting about each other, glad to make a friend.
Gumball and Kevanovic joined Darwin and Gumball's little sister, Anais, at the cafeteria, tray's loaded with the day's lunch, whatever it was supposed to be.
"Who are you?" Darwin asked Kevanovic with a smile.
"Kevanovic, pleasure to meet you." Kevanovic smiled, shaking Darwin's fin. His face seemed to give away a happy radiance, but there still looked like was something underneath that happy expression.
"You look a little young." Kevanovic said to Anais. "She's a genius." Gumball said. "Genius as in..." He snorted, trying to hold back a joke. He was about to say it, but when he saw Anais's face, he decided against it. He just went to eating his lunch in quiet. Kevanovic pulled out an MP3 player out of his jacket pocket, hooked his headset to his ears and starting humming to whatever song he was playing.
"Dude, I'm not sure wearing headsets in school is a good idea." Gumball whispered.
"It's actually against the rules." Anais noted.
Kevanovic shrugged. "Who cares?" He said, revealing he wasn't just a goody-goody kid, but something a little closer to a rebel.
A shadow suddenly loomed over the table, making everyone put down their food.
"Well, well, well. Look who just joined the bait today." A voice mocked from behind.
