ANYWAYS, ENJOY

A week's passed by, and Gumball started getting serious. He went to the public library early and would always come home late. Although this was happening, he didn't forget about his body training. He would wake up at four in the morning to jog until six, do some push-ups, squats, jumping jacks, practice throwing punches and kicks until nine. That's when he goes to the library and study advanced subjects until ten at night. He became just as smart as Anais in no time, shocking the entire family.

And doing this for almost two months, he became more destinguishable. He even started getting more popular. Despite this, he didn't stop being that goofy brother and son of the Wattesrson family. He hasn't contacted any of his friends or even Carrie for a while. It was quite a surprise that he hasn't seen any of them whenever he was on his way to the library. Finally, the long awaited first day of college. He took the Business Degree at Elmore College. On his way there, he saw multiple familiar faces at the gates. Gumball was now 6'8. He was even taller than the tallest girl of Elmore; Tina Rex, who was 6'2.

Gumball was around 5'6 in high school, was gaining a little bit of fat, but now in college, he was hardly recognized. Not even Tina herself recognized him. When the two bumped with each other, she became quite intimidated because of his height and build. "Hey, Tina. Haven't seen you in a while. And it looks like you've decided to let you hair grow to your shoulders. Not bad, actually. You look even paler now, especially without your hoodie." Tina just stood there in shock. Gumball leaned in closer. "Hm... I guess I've also outgrown you." He said. "Gumball!" Someone cried out from behind.

Wearing a white turtle-neck and a pair of jeans, breathing heavily. "W-wait... *pant* Up... *pant*" Tina looked dumbfounded. "Hey, Carrie. Why are you tired?" He asked. "I overslept." She replied. "Uh... You do know that you could've just teleported, right?" Gumball said, making Carrie blush. "I want to enjoy having a solid body. Is that not fine?" She retorted. "No, no. I guess even you would be worried about gaining wait, huh..." Gumball recieved a kick to the shin because of this. "What was that for?" Gumball cried out. Carrie just pouted and continued walking. Gumball was still trying to ease the pain.

"Are you really Gumball?" Tina asked from behind. "Oh, right. I was talking with you earlier. Yeah, it's me." Gumball said, as he stood straight. "I guess we should go." Gumball suggested. Tina nodded. She grew her hair out and stopped with her tomboyish acts. She stopped wearing baggy hoodies and jeans and went with the casual skirt and grey shirt that revealed a bit of her cleavage. "Ah, you're Tina, right? Tina Rex?" He asked as he looked back at her.

"Y-yes..." she said hiding her gaze. "I guess even you changed..." he said as he awkwardly scratched his cheek. Tina stayed quiet. "My class is over there." Tina pointed towards the classroom newr the end of the hallway. "Oh, sure. Mine is in the other direction. See ya later." Gumball waved goodbye as he walked towards his class. Hours passed by of Gumball listening to each lectures. He had jotted down the key points of each lecture. And with that, his first day ended.

He didn't have any classes with Carrie as she was affiliated with the Arts and Design classes. The entire batch of Gumball decided to take a gap year. Within that time, a lot of changes happened. Even with that, all of them stayed in Elmore. Masami, too, stayed in Elmore. Her father named her the heiress to the company. Thus, she's in the same class as Gumball. However, the two haven't noticed each other yet. As Gumball waited near the gates, Tina was also just about to head home with her friends. One of them was Jamie.

"Hey! Is that Gumball?!" Jamie called out. She was around 5'11. "Wow! Looks like you've grown up!" Jamie said. She squirted water from her water bottle on to Gumball's thin long sleeve shirt. "Oops" she said sarcasrically before noticing Gumball's abs and stood in awe along with Tina and the two other girls. "Hey, Gumball." Carrie said as she patted Gumball's back. "Woah." Carrie was awe-struck at Gumball's abs. "I guess you weren't kidding around when you said you started training." She said, still in awe. "Well, let's go!" She grabbed his arm and they started walking, leaving the other girls standing in confusion. "Was that really Gumball?" Jamie asked. "I know, right?" Tina replied. They also started heading home.

A/N: Welp. I'm cutting it here for a bit. I'll update the chapter later cuz it might take longer. Also, tell me if you guys think that Gumball and Tina's heights are too tall. Also, what ways can you guys suggest to help my crappy way of writing? And tell me what ya guys think so far. Thanks!
