Chapter 7: Open Scorn (Part Two).

Gumball Watterson though this was going to be a good day after his suspension was uplifted by Principal Brown, but in reality, it was Professor Webster who convince Brown of uplifting his suspension in order for Gumball to joined The City Watchers Program. He was soon proven wrong when the entire school are angry at Gumball for destroy the school chances of going to the championship game. To make matters worse, Penny had broken up with Gumball when he saw her with Tobias, talking and holding hands. His life was over until two familiar faces came into school posing as new students. Gumball recognizes them as Lana Delacroix and Jack Matthews from The City Watchers Program. After class, both Lana and Jack explain to Gumball the reason why they're here. They will call for him whenever they are being ordered for an assignment by their leader. Soon they all walked to the cafeteria. As they stood there in the entrance of the lunchroom, Gumball can feel that people will still be angry at him about what happen.

Gumball said "Uh, guys, maybe this wasn't a good idea. People will hate you also when they see you with me."

Lana objected "I don't care. You can't run away from this, Gumball. You need to stand your ground."

"You guys had been hated by everyone before?"

Lana answered "Yeah, but it doesn't bother me."

Jack step in as he said "Or me." He turned to Gumball. "Just take it from an old hater, Gumball. The best thing is to just ignore them."

"Really?" Asked Gumball "You sure?"

Jack said as he gives him a questionable look "Who's the hater expert here? Me or you?" Gumball didn't answer by that. "I thought so."

Gumball looked at the door and exhaled "Well, this is it. Time to be hated."

Gumball push the door open with all of his might. As they walked in, Gumball can see that everyone are too busy eating they didn't see them walking in. Gumball said "Okay, looks like everyone is eating, so lets just be on our way."

Gumball was about to leave, but Lana stopped him and replied "No. You can't let it get to you, Gumball. Come on, let's go eat."

Jack inspected "By the look of all of those trays, they're all having pizzas."

The three friends went to the line to get their tray. Once they got their tray, they went to find a seat. Gumball sees Darwin and Rachel at a table just a few feets from them. When the couple take one look at the young blue cat, they give him a sharp glare before going back eating their meal. The sharp glare they gave him makes Gumball almost loses his lunch. Jack leans in on him and asked "Someone you know?"

Gumball sadly answered "Yeah, that's my adopted brother and his girlfriend."

Jack was surprised by that, not the part of a walking goldfish being related to, but to the person he was sitting right next to him. He exclaimed "That's your brother and that's his woman? Damn!" Lana then hit him in the head again. "Ow. What was that for?"

Lana answered in disgust "For being a pig!"

They resumed walking to find a seat. So far, almost everyone had already taken the best seats in the room. No one will be wanted Gumball in their seats and with Lana and Jack at their side, they wouldn't want them sitting right next to them either.

Jack whined "There's not one seat here. Damn it!"

Lana then spotted a seat over there; there was no one at there. She declared as she pointed "There's one over there."

Jack complained "Oh, finally!" The three of them went to the seat and sat down. The weasel declared "Now we can eat!" The three friend started eating their pizzas. Jack was eating his food like a cannibal. Lana was eating hers with manners. Gumball take one slow bit of his pizza, then something caught his eye. About three seats from him, he saw Penny eating and chatting with her friends. He sighed at her. Lana then notice the sigh of him. She asked "Gumball, you okay?"

Gumball snapped back from reality and look at her. "Mmm?"

"I said, are you okay?" Repeated Lana.

Gumball lied "Yeah, yeah. I'm find." He then ate his pizza. Lana take one look at the antler peanut girl that Gumball was seeing right now. She asked with curiosity "Who's that girl, Gumball?"

Jack's mouth was cover with a bit pizza sauce just above his upper lips. He look at the two as he asked "What girl?"

Gumball shake it off as he lied again "It's nothing."

Lana looked at Jack and explained "Gumball was looking at a girl just now."

Jack became interested by that. He said with an eyebrow rises "Really? Who is she? Is she cute?"

Gumball shouted "Dude, that's my girlfriend!" He now said with a glum tone "Well, ex-girlfriend."

Jack took a look at Penny and asked with an surprise, yet perverted expression "That's your girlfriend?! Damn, man! You are so fly!"

Gumball raises an eyebrow and said by his words "What?"

Jack translated "Fly. You know, it means "Cool." "Awesome." "Radical."

"Oh."

Lana was still looking at Penny as she said to Gumball "So that's your girlfriend, huh? And her name is Penny, right?"

Yes, and ex-girlfriend."

Jack asked in a perverted tone "How did you lose a dame like that, man?" Lana then hit him in the head again. As Jack was rubbing his head, he caught something from his eye. "Yo, check that out."

Both Lana and Gumball were looking at where Jack was looking. They all saw Tobias seating at the girl seat and is having lunch with Penny. They were flirting with each other as they were feeding lunch in each other mouths. Gumball felt sad when he saw that. Jack winced "Wow. That's harsh. Losing a dame like that to a jock."

Lana then kick him in the leg under the table very hard. Jack cover his mouth of not screaming. Seeing his ex-girlfriend with Tobias made Gumball loses his lunch entirely. That was it. That was the straw that broke the camel's back. Gumball asked them "Can we go now? I'm don't want to be here." Gumball gets up from his seat and was about to leave leave.

Lana stopped him with her hand on the cat's arm "Gumball."

Gumball whimpered as his voice breaks, while trying to hold his tears and not looking at them "Please."

Both Lana and Jack were staring at the young blue cat. They felt bad for Gumball. Lana and Jack looked at each other and Lana nodded "Okay, we can go. We were about to get our club ready. Come on, Jack." She gets up from his seat and walked with Gumball.

Jack got up from his seat and follow with the two, leaving behind their food tray with them. They got out of the lunchroom. They stopped and looked at each other.

Lana ordered to Gumball "Okay, me and Jack will go to work on our club, while you will go to the library and work on some great ideas your little brain can think of."

Gumball nodded "Okay."

Jack put his hand on Gumball's shoulder and said "See you, man. I hope things work out with you man."

"I hope so."

Lana looked at him and added "Just remember what I said, Gumball. Don't let it bother you. See you later." She then hugged him right before she and Jack walked away. Gumball waived, being surprise by the hug given by Lana "See you guys later."

As they were gone, Gumball then went to the library just like they wanted him to do. Gumball entered the room. He notice that most students were in here. Some of them were at the computers while others were just reading a book. Gumball walked to the section of books of inventions. Most of the students then notice the blue cat just walking along and give him sharp glare as he passes by The cheerleaders were here, except for Penny, and were staring at Gumball. Gumball didn't notice the glares giving by the students or the staring by the girls.

Carmen said in disgust in her voice "What's he doing here?"

Teri answered angrily "Probably causing more mischief like the last time, and that ended up causing to miss our game."

"We spent weeks practicing for the biggest game ever and Watterson destroyed it just like he destroy everything." Spatted Masami.

"It was a good thing Penny broken up with him, but she couldn't just go out with anyone other than Tobias. I mean, he's okay, but he's worse than Gumball."

"I don't care as long she doesn't go out with him." The spoiled rich cloud girl said with a tone.

Teri then got up from her seat and announced "I'm getting a book."

"All right." Carmen warned. "Just be careful not to go around with him."

Teri answered back "I won't." She walked over to the section of the Hygiene section of the building. Meanwhile, Gumball check every book they had about inventions. He looked for something that can helped him make him create something useful. He find about three or four books that can be useful for him. Teri was looking for a book about Hygiene until she notice Gumball was at the invention section right next to the section she in. She saw the amount of books that Gumball was carrying. She rise an eyebrow of what he was doing. The young blue cat walked to a table while carrying the large heavy stacks of books that his little hands can hold. He placed the books on the table, took out his notebook from his backpack, open one book, and write down he can find something that he can use.

Teri walked back with friends and said "Guys, I just saw Gumball at the inventions section."

Carmen asked "What was he's doing here?"

"Probably making another one of his mischief."

The rest of the girls were becoming more angry than they are before looking at the blue cat. Masami shouted "As it wasn't enough he destroy our game, now he's causing more!"

Teri angrily whispered "He's not going to get away with this!"

"Let's get him!" Declared Masami. They rises from their seats until Carrie stopped them and said "Wait, wait! What about Penny? She won't like it when we're ganging up on her ex-boyfriend."

Masami angrily scolded "I don't care! we're not letting the cat get away with this! He deserve to be punishment!"

The rest of the girls walked pass Carrie and went to the table where Gumball was seating. Carrie declared "I don't want to be a part of this." She then teleported out of the room.

Gumball flip through the pages of every book it had about inventions. He wrote down on his notebook, word for word. He was also reading it as well. He felt like it was like he's taking notes by at class, even though he hasn't written one throughout his life. Gumball's mine was like a train. It was gaining him knowledge of everything he was copying down and reading at the same time.

His focus was interrupted when he heard footsteps coming up behind him and a paper arm pinned his pencil down on the paper. He yelled "Hey! What the hell?!" He turned around and his scolding was soon dropped when he was faced by the scowling and glares of the cheerleaders. Gumball thought Oh, great. Here we go.

Masami asked with her arm crossed "What are you doing, Watterson? Probably coming up with another one of your immature mischief I suppose?"

Gumball awkwardly answered "No. I'm just writing down something."

"That must be another one of your plans!" Spatted Teri.

Gumball sighed "Look, I not in a mood right now. I'm busy, so why don't you prep your way down to the gym like nice little girls?" Gumball pick up his pencil to write again, but was stopped by Teri's arm. Gumball was getting mad than before.

"You done it now, Gumball! You're going to pay!"

Gumball annoyingly replied "I told you that it wasn't me! Tina started the fight, Tina broke the wall at the gym, and Tina made you miss the game. If you girls don't get it, I'm believe the key word here is "Tina." So why don't you go bother her instead?"

Gumball pick up the pencil again, but got pinned down by Teri's arm by the third time. He yelled "Will you stop doing that?!"

Carmen yelled back "We'll stop, if you get your punishment! You deserve it! Let us deal with it for good!"

The girls throw angry remarks at the young cat. Gumball felt his anger boiling up through his entire body. So he snapped "WILL YOU GIRLS JUST SHUT THE HELL UP AND LET ME BE?!"

His whole scream had echoed throughout the room. Everyone stopped what they were doing and looked at Gumball and the cheerleaders. They stood there in silence at them. Gumball's angry dropped down when he notice that he had just made a scene. He looked at the shocking expressions of the girls' faces. Gumball felt shocked as well as he just did thing the most unimaginable thing ever. He had just yell Penny's friends. So, not wanting to cause more trouble, Gumball grab his things and leave the library in embarrassment, but was stopped by something fury. He looked up and, surprisingly, it was Principal Brown. He looked at him with a shock expression on his face.

Gumball shouted "Oh, Come on!"


Gumball was later sent to the Principal Brown's office. Principal Brown propose that he could suspend him again, but this time for a month. But instead, Gumball was given detention, thank god for that. He was stay after school in Miss Simian's classroom. While being in here, Gumball thought back at the library of when he had snap at Penny's friends. He didn't mean it; he just slip out from all that anger he got from them. Gumball just realized that he missed out on the club that Lana and Jack were building for The City Watchers Program. He stay there for the entire day until he was asked by the Principal to leave. Gumball left the classroom and found out that everyone had left in the bus as it drive away. Gumball cussed under his breath. As he was walking, Gumball muttered "Stupid girls. Making me lose my temper. It wasn't my fault." He was then stopped by a familiar voice.

"Hey Gumball!"

Gumball closes his eyes and held his breath as he thought that it was one of the girls he yelled at back at the library. But when he turned around, he saw not one, but two students right in front of him. It was Jack and Lana.

Jack greeted "Hey, man! Where were you? We waited for you all day, but you never show up."

Lana added "Yeah, plus I heard a rumor that you got detention for yelling at the cheerleaders"

Gumball answered "Well, you got your answer right there."

"You got detention for yelling at the cheerleaders?" Jack said in wide eyes. "That's wreak, dude."

"It wasn't my fault! The girls were bother me while I was writing down ideas for that program of yours. And they wouldn't leave me alone, so I snapped! I didn't mean to!"

Lana said "I know you didn't mean to. Those girls were pretty mean to you. You don't deserve to be treated like that."

"Tried telling that to Principle Brown." Scoffed the young blue cat. "He won't listen to me for the fight between me and Tina or that little show I put today."

Jack asked "Does he always given you detention?"

"Lots of time when I got into trouble. But in some of those troubles I cause didn't mean to happen, but he won't believe me."

Lana cried "That's terrible! He shouldn't be calling himself Principal!"

Gumball lay out a small chuckle. "That's what I said! He should be working other than this place to make our lives a living hell. Like as a waiter. You know, because of his British accent." He then said with a British accent. "Excuse me, ma'am, is that soup too cold for you? Let me heated that up for you! Oh, will you like some tea and cookies, sir? Is that suit feels right for you, sir?"

Lana and Jack laughed at that. The one who was laughing the most was Lana. She was giggling like a school girl. Gumball smiled as Lana saw this and blushed; the young blue cat admit that its kinda cute of seeing her laugh like this. The young blue cat shake that though off before blushing as well. Jack notice the look of Lana's face and smiled with a smug tone "Is that a blush I see on your face, Lana?" Lana then kick him on the knee, where Jack cover his scream as he jumped up and down.

Gumball chuckled "Well, I better hurry now, or my mom will ground me."

Lana waved "Okay. See you later then, Gumball."

Gumball ran as he could while saying "Don't worry! I'll be there tomorrow for your club! By the way, what happens at that club?"

"Its a surprise! You'll see!"

Gumball yelled as he was running "Bye, Lana! Bye, Jack!"

Jack was no longer jumping and waved "See you later, dude!" As Gumball was gone, Jack notice that Lana was smiling. He asked "What are you smiling about, Lana?"

Lana lied "Nothing. Come on, we better go." She walked away from him, leaving the weasel in confuse

Jack said as he ran to her "Wait! I want to know why are you smiling! Lana! Wait for me!"
