Hello, my name is EvelioandZgroup. Here is the 3rd chapter of one of my most requested stories and it has amazed me that so many are reading this and I am proud to continue this one of a kind story. Also I am currently writing the script of a short film from one of the most talked about stories and multiple award winning story, Life Cut Short, and it is currently in development. Anyway, here is the 3rd chapter, enjoy.
3 months have passed since Gumball and Rachel's kiss, since then, they have been really close and they can't seem to be disconnected. They always spend so much time together and no one seems to notice them spending hours and hours together.
Gumball was sleeping in his room, though he was happier than usual. With Rachel in his life, he couldn't seem to be away from. Though they may have been a bit "clingy", but their love for each other was strong, very strong. Gumball later was awaken by his alarm, but he turned it off. Though he wasn't frustrated by the fact of being woken and it may have been too early. No, he was glad to be woken up, even if it was early. Mainly because when he woke up, he had a reason to be awake. Only one person gave him reason to wake up, Rachel.
Gumball turned off the alarm and gets out of bed and stretches his arm. Then he goes to his closet and drawers to put on his clothes. After he got dressed, he grabbed a small rectangle box from his drawer and put it in his pocket. Then Darwin woke up, he noticed it and said hello to his fellow fish friend.
"What are doing up?" Asked Darwin, still a little sleepy. "Just getting ready for school, but I'm just excited about today." Said Gumball, in a bit of a cheerful mood. "Really? What about?" Said Darwin, a little curious about it. Gumball thought about telling him, but it's not a good idea to tell your brother that it's a very special day for him because he has been dating his ex in secrecy. "Nothing that important that concerns you." Said Gumball, shying away a bit.
"Okay." Said Darwin, then he got out of his fishbowl. The two young boys went downstairs and got breakfast. While Darwin and Gumball were eating, Darwin decided to pop a question. "Okay what gives?" Said Darwin. Gumball a little confused at what he said. "Look, ever since you left to somewhere with Carrie like, 3 months ago, you have been acting differently. Why?" Said Darwin. Gumball didn't feel like answering it. "Gumball I know about you two." Said Darwin. Gumball dropped his spoon, since he thinks that Darwin knows about him and Rachel. "I know you are doing something with Carrie." Said Darwin
That remark gave Gumball a bit of a relief. "Dude, there's nothing going on with me and Carrie. I-I can't believe that you even thought of that." Said Gumball. Then Darwin was still not convinced, but then he gave up on that, but still had one thought though. "Well, then what gives with you hanging with Rachel all the time." Said Darwin. After hearing, gumball choked on some cereal and spit it out. "Wha- what?" Said Gumball, still coughing after what he said.
"Well you are always with Carrie, but with Rachel mainly. What's with that?" Said Darwin. Gumball cleared his throat and said the following. "Dude, we are just friends. Ever since you broke up with her, she needed a friend, so I became that friend for her. And why do you care?" Said Gumball, a little anxious by it. Then getting back to eating his cereal. "Well…because…I'm thinking of getting back together with her." Said Darwin. Hearing that made Gumball spit out everything in his mouth. "What! Why?" Said Gumball, not quite understanding why he would do it now.
"Well, I just think that maybe it wasn't right and I think I should make it right." Said Darwin. "But what if she is already with someone." Said Gumball, since he is referring to himself. "Come on dude. I have never seen her with another guy and you have been the only one and I think you would tell me if she was seeing someone." Said Darwin. He goes back to eating, then Gumball feels a little bit like he may have betrayed him for going out with his ex-girlfriend, but he likes Rachel, but just wishes that they haven't kept it a secret.
Then they heard the bus, so they rushed to the bus. Though Anais was sick, so she couldn't go to school. While on the bus, Gumball sat on the left seat on the bus, with a window. Then when the bus picked Penny, it just crossed his mind that they haven't talked since the break up, but while on that thought a "Hi" was said to him. He saw that Penny said hi to him, so he just said hi back and she proceeded to the back with her friends. Then the bus stopped at their school and everyone went inside to start their Friday at school.
-lunchroom-
While everyone was eating their lunch, Gumball was sitting with Darwin. Just like the good old times. Then Rachel came up to Gumball. "Hey, Gumball." Said Rachel. "Hey Rachel." Said Gumball, but in a bit of a cheerful mood. "I need your help with something." Said Rachel."What of?" Said Gumball, a little bit concerned. "Well my teacher said that she needed some "help" in the "classroom", so I was wondering if you wanted to come and help out." Said Rachel, hinting the words help and classroom. But Gumball didn't understand, but just thought she needed help.
"Okay then." Said Gumball, then he left with Rachel outside the cafeteria, but the moment they got and knew no one was around, Rachel grabbed and kissed him. It completely surprised Gumball and caught him off guard. Then after the kiss, she said "Happy 3 month anniversary." Said Rachel, with her arms around him. Then he said happy anniversary as well and kissed her back. Then she let go and Gumball remembered something and pulled out the small box from before. Then he handed her the box. "What is it?" Said Rachel.
"It's a present." Said Gumball. Rachel couldn't help and smile at him for that amazing generosity and thoughtfulness. "That's really sweet. But I didn't get you anything." Said Rachel. "I don't need a gift. All I need is you with me." Said Gumball. With that little speech, touched Rachel's heart and she nearly cried a small tear by that. Then she opened the box and what she saw completely amazed her. "Oh my god." Said Rachel. Then what she took out was a necklace with a blue diamond and around the diamond's carrier was inscribed Rachel. It may have been small, but the love around it was as visible as the day we could remember. "It's beautiful." Said Rachel.
"I know that you said that your favorite color was blue, but you said if you wanted something that would represent love was this necklace. You said that you wanted it to be inscribed so that the person, who gave you this, knew what love was really for." Said Gumball. Rachel nearly shed a tear, but hugged him. "Thank you." Said Rachel, while whispering it to his ear. "You're welcome." Said Gumball, whispering to her ear. Then ended their hug, but Rachel said something after the hug. "Could you help me put this on?" Said Rachel, handing out the necklace so he could put it on around her neck.
Gumball grew a small smile, and then he nodded. She gave him the necklace and she turned around and grabbed her hair so he could put it around her neck. What it symbolized was trust and love. He wrapped the necklace around her neck and then sealed it from the lock, and then she turned back with the new necklace around her neck. Then she gave him another hug, but this one last for a couple of seconds until the bell rang.
"Well I guess lunch is over." Said Rachel. "Yeah, well I got to back and throw away from plate." Said Gumball. "Yeah…well…see you later." Said Rachel, feeling a bit sad by it. "Don't worry, how about I come over today?" Said Gumball, seeing if he can put a small smile with her. He was able to do it. With her smile was worth it, her smile would allow the whole world to stop and stare at her a moment, but it be worth it. "That would be great." Said Rachel, in that same soothing voice before their kiss.
Then he headed back, so he could throw his plate. He grabbed his plate, and then threw it away, but when he turned, he saw Penny behind him. "Oh, hi." Said Gumball, causing a bit of an awkward moment between them. "Hi." Said Penny, still feeling a bit awkward by it. They stood there a while, until he Gumball decided to say something. "Well, I think I should go back to class. Said Gumball. "Yeah." Said Penny.
Then he was about to leave until Penny said something. "Gumball, wait." Said Penny, while catching up to him. "What?" Said Gumball. "Look I've thought about it and-and I want us to get back together." Said Penny, Gumball was shocked and surprised at her. He thought he was done with her, but it looked that she wasn't done. "Look, I know that we had bad moments in the past, but there was good moments." Said Penny, Gumball still didn't know how to react to it, but they noticed that everyone was leaving already. "Look, I don't know." Said Gumball. "Just think about it. Talk to you later." Said Penny.
Gumball didn't know why now that she wanted to get back together. Then he went with the rest of the students and headed back to class. Though he just couldn't believe that the girl he was formerly with wants to get back together. He just hoped that Rachel was having a better time than him.
-3:00 P.M. End of class, hallway-
Meanwhile, Rachel is getting her things, but can't stop looking at the necklace Gumball gave her, and then she resumed in getting her things. She closed her locker, then as she was heading out, but then heard someone calling her name. "Rachel! Rachel! Rachel!" Said someone coming from the crowd. Then she saw someone coming closer than saw that it was Darwin, rushing to her.
"Darwin?" Said Rachel, a little confused by it. Then Darwin got close to her, but was already panting since he was running towards her. "Rachel, I got to tell you something." Said Darwin, but with little air let to talk. "What?" Said Rachel. "Look, I know what I did was a big mistake. A huge mistake. I want us to get back together." Said Darwin. Rachel was a bit confused of him.
"Look, when we were together, we were happy. It took me this much time to realize that I lost something more important and it was the biggest mistake I have ever did in my life. Rachel…I want you back." Said Darwin, opening his heart to her. Rachel didn't know what to think of him. She thought that Darwin was a no good fish, but she was still right, but he was someone with feelings and wasn't easy to go. "Look Darwin, I-I got to go." Said Rachel, since she hesitated, she really couldn't bear to give him the truth.
Rachel walks away, but Darwin doesn't know whether to feel heartbroken or confused. Either way she left the school and he later exited the school.
There you go the 3rd chapter of The Circle. This was supposed to be longer, but I felt that it would be too long, so I cut it in half and try to finish that one. Anyway, my name is EvelioandZgroup and I'm signing off.
