I woke up from my slumber with tears still in my eyes. After rubbing the sleep out of my eyes, I looked over to see Mabel sitting in front of my bed, eating a bowl of cereal. I began to say, "What are you-"
She cut me off with, "So, how'd it go with you and Dipper."
I slammed my face back down in my pillow. I started to say things that even I didn't understand.
Mabel asked, "what?"
I lifted my head and said, "you were wrong. Wendy does like Dipper."
"How do you know that for sure?"
"Because I saw her kiss him on the cheek."
"That doesn't mean anything, Norman."
"Yes, it does, Mabel. it does mean something."
"Do you want me to talk to him."
"No! Don't say anything to him. I just need to be left alone for a while."
"Ok, Norman. If you need anything, anything at all, just come and find me."
Instead of responding I threw my head into my pillow again. I heard her footsteps leave the room and the door slide shut.
I must of dozed off again at some point because Coraline and Wybie shook me awake. Coraline said, "Hey, Dummy, wake up. It's like 12:30 pm. It's time to wake up."
I sat up and rubbed the sleep out of my eyes. Wybie said, "Come on. It's lunch time."
They left my room. I pulled on my long sleeved shirt and got out of bed. I walked out of my cabin, bare footed. I walked down the hall into the front of the jet. Everyone was sitting at the table. Wendy got up and walked over to me. She said, "Hey, sleepy head, you wanna have some lunch."
I just gave her an annoyed look, and walked to the table. I didn't mean to look so irritated. I was honestly not mad at her. She didn't do anything wrong. I sat down in front of a plate of chicken, mashed potato's, and carrot's. I put my hand on my cheek and started playing with my food. Everyone else was almost done eating. Victor got up to take his plate to the sink. He stopped by me and asked, "are you okay?"
Everyone looked at me, waiting for an answer. I said angrily, "Peachy!"
Everyone recoiled in shock. Coraline said, "That doesn't sound like you're 'peachy.'"
Wybie said, "Yeah, Norman, what's wrong?"
I ignored them. Instead I looked at Victor. He was almost in tears. I looked down in shame. I said, "I'm sorry, Victor, I didn't mean to yell at you."
"It's ok," He said, "but seriously what's wrong, Norman?"
There was something that was bugging me that didn't have to do with Dipper. "It's just... none of this is adding up," I took the seer stone out of my pocket, "First, we had to find this stupid rock, now waddles is kidnapped. The seer stone told me-"
"Whoa, whoa, whoa," Victor interrupted, "It talked to you."
"You had to be there. Anyways he told me that we had to find the other relics. That means waddles is one of them. How could we possibly have a relic with out looking for it first. The very thing we need to save the world from this 'Demon' guy."
Dipper said, "I don't know, man, but we'll figure something out," he gave me a small smile.
My heart should of been fluttering, but I was too angry. I glared at him, "And I guess our fabulous leader will lead us to victory," I said rudely.
"Whoa, man, what did I do?" Dipper asked with raised eyebrows.
I sighed, "Nothing," I took a deep breath and closed my eyes, "I just need to be alone," I walked to my cabin.
