Chapter 12::

I groan slowly opening my eyes.

I was met with an unfamiliar colour.

I shot up, the rush of panic coursing through my heart.

Then it all came to me.

I was in Mom's room.

I must have fallen asleep in Mom's room.

I look over to see Mom stretching on the other side of the room.

She turns, giving me a warm motherly smile.

It almost made me forget about yesterday.

Almost...

I take a shaky deep breath and roll out of her bed.

"Good morning sweetie. How do feel?"

At least I got some sleep.

"Good." With my broken voice I stand up following suit with Mom.

"Good sweetie. Good..." She gave me one last glance before walking out of the room.

We end up in the kitchen, A warm blanket of silence wraps around us.

I see her grab the eggs out of the fridge and start making breakfast.

"You know I love right Gummy?"

The warm blanket of silence was suddenly yanked away by life.

"Yeah, Mom. I know you love me." I grab the milk out of the fridge and poured a glass of milk for me.

"Okay... I just wanted to make sure you know that."

There was a moment of cold silence before she took a deep breath and began speaking, "You've still got to go to school."

That hit me like a ton of bricks; I forgot about school. Everyone I know would see me in girls clothes. All the people in the school would see me in a skirt.

I feel a lump form in my throat.

No Gumball. You will not cry.

Taking a deep breath I reply, "Okay Mom." I turn and make my way out of the room. I make my way, stopping by the bathroom to my room.

Time to wake up my love. I blush at that thought.

He was snoring lightly under the covers. I slowly slid unto his chest putting my ear near his heartbeat.

I sit up lightly kissing him on the lips. His eyes flutter open connecting with mine. I pull you away from him a smile splitting the sad look on my face.

"Morning lover." I could tell my cheeks were the shade of velvet.

His were too.

"Morning." A smile on his lips.

Is it odd that I love the way he smiles? That I adore the was he blinks? Or that I couldn't live without seeing those perfect eyes?

My thoughts are interrupted as I feel a pair of lips collide with mine.

He pulls away giving me a peck on the cheek.

Did my heart just stop?

"Now I think it's a good morning." He sends another smile and rolls off of me.

I watch as he gets dressed. I devour all the little details. The curve of his back. The way his back flexes when he stretches.

"What's for breakfast?" he pulls a white shirt over his head looks at me via mirror.

"Eggs, toast, bacon, and milk." I say rolling off his bed.

"Good. I'm hungry." he grabs my hand and kisses me on the cheek again.

"Would you stop?" I say pushing his head away from me.

"You know you live me." He pulls me into a hug.

"What're you going to wear to school today?" He twirls me halfway around and looks at me in the mirror, "Mom says I've got to wear what Dad got me yesterday..." I trail off looking down on the floor.

"I'm sure you'll look awesome in them." He points my chin at the mirror, "I'm sure Lexy will help you."

We were interrupted by a door creaking open.

"Hey Gumball..." It was Anais.

"Hey Anias. How're you doing this morning?"

Darwin pulls away giving a good morning to Anias.

"Good I guess..." She trails off looking at the bags on the floor next to me.

I hear the door creak halfway closed and another voice say, "So what bomb went off last night?"

Darwin exchanges looks between Lexy and I, "I'm going to go get breakfast."

After the door was closed, I begin taking deep breathes.

"Wow... So you still have to go to school in those clothes?"

I nod taking a look at the bags.

"I'm going to go get breakfast. See you down stairs." She takes off and closes the door behind her.

Time to do this.

I take one of the bags and close my eyes dumping it on my bed. I turn around and grab the other two. One big pile of clothes later I slowly open my eyes.

I couldn't help but think back to yesterday. Penny would degrade me for wearing girls clothes.

Why should I even care what other people, especially Penny, thinks?

I slowly begin digging through the pile.

I settle on a blue skirt, black shirt, and a pair of black flats. The last piece of my wardrobe is a black sweater that is a bit to big for me.

After putting it on, I look in a mirror. The skirt would almost look like a big dress with the sweater.

I slowly make my way out and down the stairs. The room quiets down when I make it in there.

Mom gives me an encouraging look.

"Morning everyone."

Don't blush you idiot! It's bad enough that I have to wear a skirt.

I slowly make my way to the empty seat next to Darwin.

A thought passes through my head that makes me smile.

I don't have to go to Ms. Simian's class today. I've got detention.

After a quick breakfast Mom is ushering us out the door to the bus stop.

The walk was quiet, save for the birds that were welcoming the day to start.

I could feel the butterflies going absolutely psycho on the walls of my stomach.

The only people at the bus stop were Teri, Allen, and well everyone but Penny.

I couldn't help but smile at the absence of her.

That smile didn't last that long as my thoughts were interrupted by a chorus of laughter rang through the bus stop.
