I do not own The Amazing World of Gumball.
Enjoy!
The next day, Richard had done what he said and Nichole was stunned to walk into a Spa thanks to her husband, after work.
When she came back home, late at night, everybody could not help but notice how relaxed she looked and how much kinder, she was at home.
When Nichole went to work the next morning, she did not look like she was on death row like usual and was complimented for it.
So without anybody really caring, it became Wednesday morning.
"Goodbye, Kid's," Nichole said, giving all three of them a kiss before giving Richard a kiss. "Goodbye, Richard."
"Have a nice day at work, Nichole" Richard said, "And remember if you need a talk. I'm always here to listen"
"Thanks, Richard," She said, touched before walking out of the door.
Richard turned to his kids who were really using the new Toaster and eating the better cereal.
"I've tasted this twice and yet it's still amazing," Gumball said.
"Gumball, pass me the cereal," Anais said, her arms were too short to reach.
But Gumball did nothing so Darwin did so.
"Here, you go," Darwin said, while Anais narrowed her eyes at Gumball.
When they were all finished with breakfast and given lunchboxes with real food.
Nichole had gone shopping once Richard had handed her the money and for once she got healthy food for her kids to put in their lunchboxes.
"Has everybody got everything?" Richard said, making sure, all three nodded their heads, then he opened the door, however, the car was gone.
"Mom must have taken the car," Anais said. "Guess, were walking."
Then they all began to walk to school, however, it only took them several minutes to realize that the people that they walked by, stared at them once they came into view.
It was especially noticeable after people just finished reading Elmore Muscle, a popular magazine.
All three arrived at school, almost 2 minutes before the bell and several of kid's in that yard, had Elmore Muscle magazine's in their arms.
They felt like there was something different in the air.
Ch 3: The extreme Jealousy that comes with success.
"Dude, have you noticed something weird going on, ever since we walked through the door?" Darwin said.
"You mean, how half the corridor is staring at us, right now?" Gumball said, and truth be told they were when the students were called out on it, they quickly turned away. "I just hope that my pants aren't down, again"
They finally made their way to their locker.
However, they were in for a surprise because a person literal flew through their locker.
It was Carrier Krueger.
"WOAH!" Both of them said.
"Sorry. Didn't mean to scare you" Said, the ghost girl.
"Us. Scared?" Gumball said, quickly recovering and bluffing. "Of course, not"
Carrier rolled her eyes.
"Well, you guys didn't tell me your dad was a famous model," Carrier said, getting them confused.
"Famous?" Gumball said.
"I wouldn't say famous. He only just started" Darwin said.
"Well, he's appeared in Elmore Muscle," She said, opening the magazine she was carrying and there were pictures of their dad in right clothes or no shirt at all, costumes. "So that makes him famous in my book"
Both Darwin and Gumball were stunned.
However, before they could comment, the bell rang and they all quickly headed to class, expecting to be taught by a grumpy monkey.
Who just happened to be not so sneakily caught with an Elmore Muscle magazine and happened to be staring at a certain page.
"Oh, my," She said, humming before she noticed the kid's and completely hid the magazine away. "SIT DOWN!"
They all took their seats.
"Oh, Gumball and Darwin. My two favourite students" She began.
Favourite?
They both understandably looked behind them, to see if who she was talking to, were two people that were also named 'Gumball' and 'Darwin'.
But there was nobody there.
They both sat down in their seats.
Then she began to read the register and both Gumball and Darwin were aware of the eyes of their classmates wanting to talk to them but could not at the moment.
Miss Simian began to go through the register, however, the whole class noticed how, when she got to their names, there wasn't a bubble of irritation leaking out of her voice as usual.
When asked about their homework, both Gumball and Darwin realized they had forgotten to do it.
They fully expected her to say the words "Detention" instead she said, "Just hand it in tomorrow morning".
The other kids were staring along with Gumball and Darwin like she had grown two heads.
When it was break time, Gumball and Darwin went outside and were almost crushed by the crowd that almost mauled them over.
"Gumball. I saw your dad in Elmore Muscle" Said, Penny. "How did your dad get the job?"
"Well, our dad was approached by a modelling company when we helped him get fit and he became a jerk' Gumball said, more than happy to talk to his girlfriend and brag.
"Hey, does your dad know Missy Fox?" Banana Joe said, "And can you get me her autograph?"
"How much does your dad make, just having his picture taken?" Tina Rex said.
"Can your dad give me a few pointers?" Said, Tobias Wilson "I just want to make sure I'm not overdoing it." before showing off his none existent muscles.
There was just so many questions there classmates had that made it impossible for Gumball or Darwin to answer everything.
However, not everybody walked up to them, there was about one person who openly glared at them, for no good reason they could think off.
The bell rang and they went back inside so that their second-class can began, again Miss Simian was off with them and gentler, as she started class.
The bell rang for lunch.
"Gumball and Darwin, do you want to join me for lunch?" Penny said.
However, when they heard.
"So, your dad is in one magazine, so what?" said, Clayton. "It's not like he's on the front cover. This whole thing is going to blow off in a week or so, then you'll go back to being loser's just like you were before."
Most of the class was stunned by Clayton attitude as he hopped off his chair and headed towards the dining room with genuine hate in his eyes.
"What's wrong with him?" Gumball said.
"That's the jealousy that comes with success," Misami said, being rich she knew more than anybody about what was happening. "He's jealous that your dad has a much more exciting life than his dad does. As long as your dad keeps climbing to the top, more and more people are going to hate you just because your life is better than theirs."
Then she floated away.
Both of them looked at each other.
"There's no way, Clayton is jealous of us," Gumball said.
"Just last week, he saw how low grade our life was," Darwin said.
Then both of them walked out of the classroom, only to be followed by the rest of the class who wanted to know more.
They had never been so popular in their life.
"Look. It's the kid's whose dad's in Elmore Muscle!" Said, one student.
Several looked at them in awe, however, both Gumball and Darwin couldn't help but notice that kid's that they had never seen before, let alone talk to, giving them a look of hatred.
"It's just one magazine. What's the big deal? Those two looks like total douchebag's" Said, one student with hate in his eyes even though he had never spoken one word to them.
"Right. I bet their dad use's drugs to have that body or he did plastic surgery" Said, a female student with her friends talking bad, even though she had never talked to them in their lives.
By the time, both Gumball and Darwin reached the cafeteria, they felt an overwhelming sense of people judging them before they even said one word to them.
Already, there were rumours about how their dad got the job or how it was all faked to make them more popular.
They went to the cue line only for people to open a way for them.
Which was defiantly weird.
They walked slowly through the line of kid's and came to the front of the line, to meet Rocky Robinson.
"Oh, hi. Gumball and Darwin" Rocky said, "Saw your dad in Elmore Muscle. Your dad looked totally ripped"
"Your dad obviously did drugs. It's so obvious." Said, one kid who they did not even know.
Both Gumball and Darwin were starting to get annoyed.
They had seen how hard their dad worked, none of his diets was working and he just gained more weight.
The dad could have died if he continued and they hadn't stepped in.
That's why Gumball was mad.
So, he did something that he should never do.
Confront people about their jealousy.
Gumball suddenly went up to the sheep and said. "HEY!"
The sheep turned around.
"If you have something to say, say it to my face! My dad worked hard to get that body. All the diets he tried, only made him gain weight, it was so bad that I and Darwin had to step in" Gumball said.
However, the sheep only raised an eyebrow and said. "A likely story. Can you actually prove that your dad didn't do something to his body? Where are the pictures of him working out? Everybody knows your dad is fat so I find it suspicious that he got that good looking in a day. Perhaps, you're trying to hide the plastic surgery he did?"
Kid's started crowding around as Gumball was rendered speechless.
"P-PLASTIC SURGERY!" Gumball suddenly, clearly getting worked up. "My family can't afford that!"
"Um, dude" Darwin touching him. "I think, you need to take breather"
"How can you say that, Darwin? When there are kids in this school who have never met us, suddenly talk smack about our dad?" Gumball said, "Sure people can make fun of me or you but our dad worked so hard to get that body. He used the money he got and spent it on good cereal and the toaster we need. He sent our overworked mom to a Spa"
And just like that Gumball made mistake number 2.
Never tell a jealous person what your successful parents got you, even if the jealous person own parents could afford the items.
"So, now your gloating" Said, the sheep, blinded by jealousy. "You two people are the worst" before walking away.
"You handled that badly," Misami said, hovering over them. "When dealing with a Jealous person never confront them and call them out on their Jealously. You made it worse by telling every jealous person in the room, what your model dad got you"
And just like that, a good portion of the school hated them.
When they got their food and sat down to eat, they could feel the ice-cold glares.
They were surrounded by their classmates and students who suddenly wanted to talk to them, but both of them felt like the only reason why they were being talked to was because of their model dad.
Not a single one of them actually wanted to be their genuine friend.
They could tell because of their experience with Misami, who was unlikable but she was popular because she was rich.
Lunch finished and they went for PE.
They couldn't help but notice how the other guys were disappointed to see their lack of upper body strength when they undressed.
"Who would have guessed that your dad, a muscle god didn't give you any tips," Clayton said, just wanting to land a burn on them.
The other guy's laughed, even though they were flab as well.
However, both Gumball and Darwin had long since stopped feeling shame.
He was barking up the wrong tree and Clayton realized this when he saw how little it affected them.
Both boys went into the shower with their mother's shampoo, even though they knew it would make them smell girly.
However, Gumball forgot something and step out of the shower.
His eyes widened when he saw Clayton dumping what looked like both his and Darwin clothes into the trashcan, while others were in shock.
"W-WHAT THE! WHAT!?" Gumball suddenly yelled, getting the attention of the whole room and the corridor as well.
They all turned to see him.
"Dude, what are doing with me and Darwin's stuff!?" Gumball said.
"Huh, what about me?" Darwin said, coming out and wondering what was going on.
"What?" Clayton said, not even ashamed that he was caught. "I'm just putting trash where it's due. After all, I'm sure you have more than enough money to get some good stuff from your dad's new modelling job"
"That's insane. My best jumper is in there" Gumball said, he loved it because it was one of the few clothes that grew with him over time.
"You mean the thing you've been wearing for the past several years?' Clayton said, "It's no big deal. Just get a new one from your model dad."
Just then the sweater dropped into the trashcan.
And that was it.
Gumball lunged at it him and both of them wrestled to the ground.
"Somebody, do something!" Darwin said.
And the guys did.
"FIGHT! FIGHT! FIGHT!" They chanted.
"Not that!" Darwin said.
And then somebody did step in, the person had the power to make them stop.
However.
"Gumball Watterson and Clayton. What on earth are you two doing!" Said, principle Brown, who just so happened to hear the noise from outside.
Both of them froze when they saw the man.
From the look on their faces, they both knew they were in big trouble.
And they were right.
On the same day, both Gumball's parents and Clayton parents were called into the Principles office.
And scene!
Next chapter, the Watterson family are stunned by the sudden difference in treatment now that Richard's face is out there. Clayton parents bend over backwards for them and beg them not to sue, not caring if their own son is in the room or not. Review/fav and follow!
