A Day in Elmore with Gumball Watterson
Disclaimer: If I owned Amazing World of Gumball, I would be Ben Bocquelet. But I'm not, so I don't.
Chapter 3: School, Part 2
After the test and the class period were over, everyone left for lunch.
"Here is Rocky," Gumball says, making his way through the lunch line. "He works many of the jobs at school, like lunch monitor, lunch server, janitor, and pool lifeguard. You don't need to do much to get him to like you. In fact, the only person he doesn't like is Miss Simian. Now that I've brought her up, let me describe her," he says as he walks to a lunch table and sits down
"She is a monkey that has been teaching my grade for 300,000 years. She hates me, my brother, and pretty much the rest of my family, but it doesn't matter since we hate her right back. Not only that, but she is so unlikable that everyone in the school has contempt for her, except for Principal Brown, on account of him being her boyfriend. Now, let's get back to my peers."
Suddenly, Tina Rex, a contemporary dinosaur, walks past Gumball and shoves his head head into his lunch tray, smearing food all over his face.
"That is Tina Rex," Gumball says after he picks his head back up. "While most students see her as a bully, she actually can be friendly. Don't let the fact that she just shoved my face into my lunch fool you, though. She and I just call it 'having fun.'
"Hey, Gumball," says Carrie. "May I use your body to eat lunch?"
"Well, Carrie, that depends. Do you promise not to go on an crazed eating spree and make me so fat that I turn into Gumball the Hutt?" Gumball asks sternly.
"Definitely. By the way, possessing your father has actually taught me how to exercise control of my hunger."
"Alright, Carrie. Go nuts, but not really."
Suddenly, Carrie flies Gumball's mouth, possessing his body. Gumball grimaces as he gains the appearance of a zombie. Drooling, Carrie devours what remains of Gumball's food. Then, she quickly exits his body.
"Satisfied?" says Carrie.
"Impressive," Gumball says, pleased. "Most impressive. Plus, you killed two birds with one stone. You've satisfied your hunger, and I'm done with lunch."
"Thanks, Gumball," Carrie says as she flies away, allowing Gumball to continue his monologue.
"That was Carrie, EJH's unique emo. Why do I say unique? She doesn't hang out with other emos here, not that there are any others; instead, she hangs out with people like me and the rest of my classmates. She's pretty cool, even though she once possessed my body to satisfy her hunger."
Suddenly, the bell rings, prompting everyone to head to his next class which, in Gumball's case, was PE
"I just remembered, I haven't mentioned Penny Fitzgerald. She is my best female friend in school. What? No, I don't love her! Well… okay, maybe a little*," he admits, blushing and rubbing the back of his neck. "But that's not important. Right now, we're about to play dodgeball."
"Hey, Gumball!" calls Tobias. "Be prepared. You're gonna get creamed."
"Oh, please. You're the one who can hardly throw a dodgeball."
"I can so!" Grunting with frustration, Tobias adds, "Either way, good luck. You'll need it."
"You too."
After Tobias passes Gumball, Gumball continues his speech.
"There's a classmate I have named Tobias. He's this rainbow-colored kid that acts like he's really athletic and tough, but he really isn't, considering he couldn't cut his hand with a stick to make a blood pact. Now, let's get to the game and show that jerk."
Author's Note: I know that I didn't list all of Gumball's classmates in this nor the previous chapter.
*On the show, I support the pairing Gumball x Penny; online, both Gumball x Penny and Gumball x Carrie intrigue me. For this story, the pairing is Gumball x Penny; and another thing: I know he wouldn't admit to liking Penny, but as was said last chapter, I want Gumball to have some confidence.
