I'm not gonna make it…I'm not gonna make it…
Lunch had ended pretty quickly – at least for him, it did – and he was back inside the clock for the last lesson. Even though he had not actually seen Babs yet, he had the gut-wrenching feeling that she was somewhere in the building. This wasn't good; he couldn't risk seeing her – nor could he risk her seeing him – as it would break his willpower if she decided to talk to him. He had no desire to see the results of this. Just the thought of her walking over to him to communicate made him weak.
Please don't be here…Please don't be here…
He was losing his sanity – not that people believed that he had any to begin with – and it felt awful. Despite what people thought, he did possess sanity; he wasn't completely insane. That was a common misconception.
He glanced up at the see-through material of the clock. It must be almost time for school to end; the students were looking up at the clock, anxious to burst through that door and leave.
…It's almost time…to announce the end of the day…but what if she…
He choked back a sob; he was breaking down. He couldn't do this. He couldn't pop out of the clock and announce the end of the school day. He couldn't show himself – not like this – and have others wondering why he was upset.
What…what can I do…?
The hands of the clock were slowly heading near their destination.
Come on…COME ON! Think, darn you!
Suddenly, an idea popped into his head. Pulling out a sign, he scribbled down a phrase that sounded like something he would say, stuck it to the platform he was on, and created a portal to Wackyland. He quickly stepped through the portal and it closed behind him, leaving nothing – not even a trace – in his disappearance.
A few seconds later, the clock popped open to reveal the sign that said:
[Whaddaya still standing around here for?]
The students laughed at this. How typical of Gogo…
