Chapter 3

I awoke to the odd feeling of calmness yesterday was pretty hectic I mean with no sleep, the changes, and Wendy on my mind everything yesterday was utter chaos for me it was fun but still chaos.

I sat up in my bed taking in my surroundings it was a dark greyish color. Turning facing Mabel's bed she was still sleep her sheets rising and falling. I swung my legs over the bed eyeing the clock it read 6:38 "wow I slept a long time" I whispered to my self jumping off the bed. I slowly made my self down stairs sleepiness still wearing off I was really hungry that sleep was needed but now I was starving. As was coming to the bottom step I heard foot steps coming to the right of me, and knowing me letting curiosity take the best of me I peeked around the corner to see Gruncle Stan heading to the old vending machine down the hall way. "Whatcha doing old man" I thought looking carefully at the code he was putting in the machine and it slid out of place. My eyes widened in curiosity he turned around checking to see of anyone was there he didn't notice me. Once he thought the coast was clear he made his descent down the dark path the machine slid shut and he was gone out of sight. I backed up slowly until I got to my room "I have to tell Mabel" I thought and I was about to wake her when I thought never mind ill do it later she's cute when she sleeps "even though she sleeps like a full grown man one leg hung of the bed while one hand was cradling waddles while the other was on her grappling hook? I swear she's so weird but you gotta love her.

I crawled back under the covers hoping for the comforts of sleep to come back over me unfortunately it doesn't, I found my self tossing and turning, or staring blankly at the ceiling. I looked over at the time again it read "7:15".

"UGH" I sighed I threw my legs back over the bed and made my way to the bathroom new clothes in hand time to get started I sighed.

I started the shower and just stood there letting the comfort of the warmth envelope me. To me showers were the most peaceful time of the day and I would often find my self zoning out but when I realized it I would just let it do its thing this was one of those moments.

Before I realized it the water had gone cold and my body was slightly shaking and as much as I hated it I cut the shower off and dried my self. I slipped into all the clothes I put on some camo shorts with black Nike socks. Next I threw a black Aeropostale shirt with a pullover hoody to match. As I made my way to the door I glanced at my self in the mirror I smiled I looked pretty good.

I opened the door to see Mabel coming sleepily down the steps "hey bro" she said rubbing her eyes "why up so early"? She asked

"Oh nothing just woke up that way" I replied

"So what's up with you and Wendy"? she asked I was silent for a moment "cause she was wondering why you were so quiet all yesterday" she continued.

"Well" I started "I feel like we're better off as friends so I gave up" this woke Mabel up "what, but you were so close" she said tilting her head to the side "no I wasn't" I said "the age gap is pretty big plus she's goi out with Robbie so it doesn't matter anymore" I said leaning against the wall "oh well then" she said sighing

"It's a good thing though" I said picking the conversation back up. She looked at me questioningly "between work, the book, and Wendy I haven't really had time to enjoy my self this summer" I said smiling.

She grinned at me "true true now you can focus on a girl that's your age" she said grinning.

Wendy's POV:

As I walked in I saw dipper with his back against the wall talking to Mabel he had different clothes on today it actually looked good on him. It was nice to see him changing up a little bit. He was a cool friend to have really Mature for his age and I liked that I'm sure any girl would. As I thought about this the only girls I've really seen him with is his sister Mabel and me. "Wow" I thought "I'd be surprised if he didn't have a girlfriend" I thought. I decided to walk up and talk to him seems like we don't talk as much as we used to. As I walked up I caught the last part of a conversation he was having with Mabel.

"true true now you can focus on a girl that's your age" Mabel said laughing

Hmm I wonder who she's talking about I thought as he walked up he steps disappearing into their room. "Hey Wendy" Mabel said gleefully I smiled "sup kid what's up with your bro" I responded she gave me a half smile "oh nothing he's just making some decisions" "but what are you doing here so early" she asked awkwardly I "stan wanted me here early today" i said but i had decided to push this a little further "whats he thinking about"I asked grinning really wanting to know who this mystery girl is. "Oh uh .. Just normal teenage boy things" she stuttered nervously before I could reply she cut me off " I'm going to take a shower" she said nervously "I'm talking to some guy today and I wanna smell like roses" she said squealing as she darted in the bathroom

Hmmm interesting I thought looks like its my turn to solve some mystery's I said turning around to get to my post.
